In Vitro Propagation of Australian Native Ornamental Plant, Scaevola

In this chapter, we describe a robust method for the micropropagation of Australian fan flower, Scaevola , a native plant increasingly being used in the ornamental horticulture industry. Shoot segments from different species of Scaevola can be successfully multiplied following this protocol. Multiple shoots can be obtained in hormone-free Murashige and Skoog medium. The regenerated shoot is rooted on hormone-free medium within 4–6 weeks. In vitro grown plantlets readily adapt to glasshouse conditions.
