Abstract:

Multiplication oftree ferns using the traditional methods, i.e. the sowing ofspores, is a very difficult task, characterised by low efficiency. It seems that in vitro culture of gamatophyte could be employed to overcome these difficulties.Experiments with vegetative propagation of tree ferns have been carried out inour lab over the last few years. The following species C. australis (R.Br), C. brownii(Domin), C. capensis, C. dealbata (G.Forst.)SW., C. dregei Kunze, C. giganthea,C. medullaris, C. smithii Hook f., C. spinulosa, Cyathea sp. Sm were the subjects ofour studies. Experiments were carried out with the use oftwo basal agar media;Murashige and Skoog (1962) and Knop medium. Various concentrations of minerals of the studied media were used. It was proved that the time required forthe germination of sown spores on agar medium depended on the species andconcentration of used mineral ingredients of the studied media. Finally, numerous plants were obtained only from C. australis and C. Cooperi.
