Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of cultivar and
concentration of agar and gelrite on in vitro multiplication of gerbera
(G.jamesonii) shoots. Sterile in vitro growing shoots of the gerbera cultivars
Ameretto, Red Bull, Ruby Red, Yellowish green and Crillo were placed in
glass jars containing nutrient media with different concentrations of agar and
gelrite. There was a significant interaction between the gelling agents’
concentrations and the gerbera cultivars. There was a decrease in the
multiplication and vitrification rates with the increase of the concentration of
the different gelling agents in the nutrient medium.
