Abstract
The effects of light generated by red, blue, red plus blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) on the in vitro regeneration of bulblets from scale segments of Lilium oriental hybrid ‘Pesaro’ were studied and responses were compared with explants grown under continuous dark and fluorescent light (16 h per day). Bulblet regeneration was observed under all the treatments, however, higher percentages of explants responded to fluorescent light and red plus blue LED and developed a higher number of bulblets per explant. Effect of red, blue, and red plus blue LEDs were also tested on the growth of in vitro cultured bulblets and compared with dark and fluorescent light grown bulblets. Red plus blue LED was suitable for bulblet growth, and bulblets grown under this condition were bigger in size and their fresh and dry weight, dry matter percentages were also high. This condition also induced the highest number of roots per bulblet and their fresh and dry weight and dry matter percentage were also high.
