Abstract
Surface-sterilized leaf sections from mature Venus fly trap (Dionaea muscipula Ellis) plants produced several adventitious plantlets when cultured on full strength Lin and Staba medium or a reduced strength Murashige and Skoog growth medium supplemented with 0.5-25 μM cytokinin. Zeatin at 9.0 or 22.5 μm was found to be most effective in inducing adventitious shoot formation. These shoots were excised and subcultured on a low salt medium to generate roots. The rooted plants then were transferred to sterilized peat moss and grown to maturity. A large number of plants could be regenerated through repeated subculture of leaf segments.
