RIVERA CURI, Jean Carlo; CABRERA PINTADO, Rosa María e BULNES SORIANO, Fernando. Micropropagation of Prosopis pallida (Humb &Bonpl. Ex Willd.) Kunth from shoot tips. Rev. colomb. biotecnol [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.1, pp.18-26. ISSN 0123-3475. https://doi.org/10.15446/rev.colomb.biote.v22n1.70949.
Prosopis pallida, known as algarrobo, is an emblematic species of the dry forests of northern Peru. It is of great economic importance for its use in the production of firewood and coal, as well as in the production of carob from its fruits. Currently human activities have deforested large populations of algarrobo in the dry forest, so it is very important a massive propagation for large-scale reforestation plans in these ecosystems, in order to conserve the species and also the genetic characteristics of elite individuals. The objective of the research was to establish a protocol for the in vitro propagation of algarrobo. Before in vitro propagation, It was evaluated the effect of three seeds treatments to accelerate seeds germination in order to get more propagation material. Then, the effect of woody plants medium with the addition four concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg /L) of cytokinins (BAP and ZEA) on the in vitro propagation of Prosopis was evaluated and it has performed three trials for the ineffective budding of apical buds, resulting in a better absence of cytokinins in apical buds with their two cotyledons, and using cotton lids in the test tubes. In this stage the number of nodes, seedling height and number of shoots was evaluated. For rooting, it was tested with three concentrations (0, 0.5 and 1.0 mg /L) of auxins (NAA, IBA and IAA), and the percentage of rooting, root length and amount of roots was evaluated, obtaining better results with 0.5 mg / L IBA. In the acclimation phase, the acclimation percentage was evaluated using two substrates, and the best results were commercial substrate of peat and vermiculite.
