Effects of different nutrient solutions on the acclimatisation of in vitro Caladium plantlets using a simplified hydroponic system

An efficient acclimatisation protocol is critical to improve the survival rate and promote growth of in vitro plantlets. Herein, tissue-cultured plantlets of ‘Red Flash’ caladium (Caladium × hortulanum Birdsey) were treated with deionised water and three nutrient solutions including Japanese garden...

Herein, tissue-cultured plantlets of ‘Red Flash’ caladium (Caladium × hortulanum Birdsey) were treated with deionised water and three nutrient solutions including Japanese garden formula (JG), South China Agriculture University formula B for leafy vegetables (SCAU-B) and Hoagland solution in a simplified hydroponic system under indoor environmental conditions.

No significant difference was recorded for the other growth parameters except the average leaf number per plantlet among the nutrient solution treatments. For the analysed physiological parameters, the plantlets treated by SCAU-B contained significantly higher content than those of the Hoagland treatment except the protein content.
