Abstract

To investigate rapid propagation of sandalwood (Santalum album),the zygotic embryos of sandalwood had been cultured in vitro on MS medium containing different plant growth regulators.The results showed that the GA3 shortened the dormancy period and enhanced the embryos germination,the mature zygotic embryo of S. album germinated after 7~10 days cultured on the MS medium with GA3 (14 μmol/L),and the seedling rate of 82.5% was achieved after 45 days' culture.
