Callus induction and pro-embryogenic mass formation in Myrciaria dubia, an important medicinal and nutritional plant

Abstract: Cacari is a fruit tree that native to the Amazon region of Brazil. The considered have highest vitamin C content any edible (13.757 mg 100 g-1 dry weight). objective this study was evaluate effects 2,4-D and 6-BAP alone or in combination on vitro callus induction pro-embryogenic mass formation cacari stem segments different culture media as precursor for micropropagation. experiment consisted two (MS WPM) combinations four concentrations (0, 1, 2 4 L-1) BAP 0.25, 0.5 1 L-1). results showed percentage (99%) obtained WPM supplemented with L-1, L-1 BAP, resulted 93% formation.
