Abstract
A procedure for plant regeneration, flower and plant formation from petiolar and inflorescence nodal explants of culantro is discribed. Leaf petioles were excised from young leaves of non-flowering plants while nodal explants were excised from the inflorescence. Explants were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium alone or supplemented with 0.5μM naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.9, 1.8, 4.5, or 9 μM thidiazuron (TDZ). All explants produced multiple shoots. In addition, nodal explants formed flowers. Shoot number, flower number and shoot length were influenced by TDZ and NAA. Rooted shoots from both types of explants were transferred to soil where plants were successfully established.
