Abstract

Flowering of African violet starts with the transition of shoot axillary meristem into inflorescence meristem. To induce flowing, shoot apical meristems of in vitro 6 month-old plants are put on MS medium supplemented with 1mg/l BA, 0.1mg/l IAA, 1.4ng/l salicylic acid. On MS medium with 1mg/l BA, 0.1mg/l IAA, and 2.5x10-4 g/l AgNO3, flower buds develop into flowers with brighter colors. The results have paved the way to in vitro flower production of African violet plants.
