- Abstract
Both Ramonda serbica, typical Albanian Gesneriad species, and R. nathaliae typically growing in FYROM, belong to the group of "resurrection plants" and need to be preserved as ornamental plants by cultivation. The aim of this study was to compare different micropropagation methods. JG-B medium was used to germinate the seeds for direct organogenesis. Axillary buds and plantlet bundles formation were observed in the presence of BAP and IAA (0.5 mg l-1 each). A high multiplication rate is fundamental for production of a large number of plants. Callogenesis and meristemoid formation during indirect organogenesis in leaves pieces inoculated in MS medium with 10-4 M NAA and 10-5 M BAP were observed, while the formation of new plantlets was obtained in MS medium with a high ratio of cytokinin:auxin (10-5 M NAA and 10-4 M BAP). Direct and indirect organogenesis of Ramonda species are very similar models.
