Abstract
Freshly cut leaves of Kohleria eriantha and K. x ‘Longwood’ were exposed to a wide range of gamma irradiation doses and allowed to root and form adventitious buds. K. Eriantha could not be successfully propagated from leaf half cuttings. ‘Longwood’ produced a small number of adventitious plantlets as compared to other Gesneriads. Colchicine treatments reduced leaf half survival in ‘Longwood’ by more than 50%. Leaf halves exposed to low and moderate doses of gamma irradiation showed increased overall plantlet production compared to nonirradiated leaf halves.
