Development and Structure Ade-Ademilua, Omobolanle Elizabeth [1], Ogundipe, Oluwatoyin [2], Okpoma, Marian M. [3]. Micropropagation of Peperomia pellucida. In a bid to advocate for the cultivation of the weed, Peperomia pellucida, as a medicinal vegetable, the protocol for the tissue culture of the plant was developed to regenerate a clean population. Our study leveraged on previous protocol for formation of callus from leaf explants of other Peperomia species on solid medium. However, we further experimented with various combinations of hormones and MS salts in liquid media using temporary immersion systems to regenerate shoots and roots. The first of its kind protocol for regeneration of Peperomia pellucida was developed. Log in to add this item to your schedule
