Abstract
The objective of this study is to analyse the
effects of different growth-regulating hormones on the in vitro
propagation of Prosopis cineraria L., a key tree species native to arid
and semi-arid regions with high ecological and socio-economic value. In
vitro culture techniques were employed using nodal and shoot tip explants
cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with varying
concentrations and combinations of auxins (IAA, IBA, NAA) and cytokinins (BAP,
kinetin). The hormonal treatments were evaluated for their influence on callus
formation, shoot induction, shoot multiplication, and rooting. Among the tested
treatments, BAP in combination with NAA showed the highest shoot proliferation
rate, while IBA alone was most effective in promoting root initiation. These
findings demonstrate that specific hormone combinations can significantly
enhance micropropagation efficiency in P. cineraria, providing a
foundation for its large-scale propagation and conservation.
