In Vitro Propagation Of Liquidambar Styraciflua L.

We reported on the propagation of Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.) by tissue culture at the 16th Southern Forest Tree Improvement Conference (P. 184-188). A modified Risser and White's medium with 0.01 PPM NAA and 0.5 PPM BA, solidified in agar, yielded 2.1 to 3.9 buds differentiated on organogenic hypocotyl sections. Only about 33% of the buds reached the plantlet stage. Recently we have improved on the method by explanting the hypocotyl sections onto modified Risser and White's medium with 1 PPM IAA and 5 PPM 2iP and agar.
