Abstract

Tillandsia takizawae Ehlers & H. Luther is an epiphytic bromeliad microendemic from Mexico with showy inflorescences with pink bracts that contrast with the green flowers. These attributes give it potential as an ornamental plant. The conservation of the species and commercial use requires efficient propagation systems that avoid the extraction of plants from their natural habitat. The objectives of this contribution were to establish the optimal conditions for in vitro seed germination and plant regeneration by organogenesis. Seeds were stablished in MS medium with half the concentration of salts added with BA and NAA. In the elongation and rooting of plants, the GA3 and the IBA were evaluated, respectively. In all treatments an average germination of 97% was obtained. The combination of BA and NAA promoted the induction of shoots in recently germinated seedlings. The highest number of shoots per explant was 41.4 with 1 mg L-1 of BA and 0.25 mg L-1 of NAA after 12 weeks of culture. Plant elongation was achieved in the complete MS medium with 1 mg L-1 of GA3 after 8 weeks. The best rooting response was with 1 mg L-1 of IBA at 4 weeks. In the acclimatization of plants the survival was 95 % after 4 weeks.
