Abstract

Callas (Zantedeschia spp.) belonging to Araceae family are ornamental plants with high commercial demand as plants in pot and cut flower. Traditional propagation techniques are not able to satisfy the fast introduction of new hybrids to the market. Thus, in vitro culture techniques are a useful tool for the propagation of new varieties with a wide range of colours. Aiming to establish a more efficient protocol for the in vitro propagation of callas, the effect of the way of culture (semi-solid, shaken liquid media and Temporary Immersion) on shoots proliferation and quality, were evaluated. The protocol for in vitro propagation of Zantedeschia involving Temporary Immersion Systems showed higher biological efficiency than those through conventional methods (semi-solid and shaken liquid media).
