Abstract
In the current study, investigated
the role of three phytohormones; IAA, IBA, and NAA each at three different
concentrations for inducing rooting in Dragon fruit stem ex-plants. The
experiment was conducted by dipping the shoots in a solution containing a
specific concentration of a phytohormone for 24 hrs. The shoots grown after 30
and 50 days were subjected to phytohormone treatment for root induction. Shoots
dipped in distilled water in the absence of any phytohormone were considered as
control and the root length obtained in response to a particular phytohormone
at a given concentration was compared with root lengths obtained in the absence
of any phytohormone. This analysis provided appropriate information on the role
of a particular phytohormone in root induction in Selenicereus costaricensis.
Our study identified that IAA positively regulates root induction in Dragon
fruit with roots reaching a maximum length of 18 cm after the application of
1500 mg/L of IAA, indicating that IAA is a suitable for root induction
phytohormone in Selenicereus costaricensis.
