In vitro Shoot Multiplication of Passion Fruit Using Shoot Tips

Abstract

In vitro shoot multiplication of passion fruit (Passiflora Edulis), using shoot tips is crucial lbr the large-scaie procluction ol disease-tree planting mater:ial. 'T'his research lbcuses on olrtimizing the shoot multiplication process using shoot tip explants ancl dill'erent combinations of plant grou'th regulators. Six treatments involving 3 dilt'erent concentrations ofl6-8enzylaminopurine (BAP) in combination with Indole-3-butyric acid 0BA) and Naphtalene acetic acid NAA) rvere tested to evaluate their el{bcts on shoot multiplicaticn and root induction. Despite variations irr the concentration of grolfih regulators, the results showed no signihcant diff-erence in the overall perlbrmance of the treatments. Shoot proliferation was successfully achieved under all conditions, suggesting that BAP. IBA. and NAA can be effectively usecl fbr micrapropagation cf passion fiuit. These tindings provide a reliable in vitro shoot multiplication method of passion {iuit through shoct tip culture, coutributing to sustainable cultivation practices and ensuring the producti on o l' hi gh-quality planting material.
