Abstract:
Abstract : Philodendron Red Emerald is a plant that is of great interest due to its indoor and outdoor decorative value this research aims at the assessment of the effect of two complex additives (Malt and Yeast extracts) for the shooting and rooting stage of Philodendron Red Emerald. Shoot clusters of the explants were cultured on MS (Murashige and Skoog), supplement with different concentrations (250 mg/l-1, 500 mg/l-1 and 1000 mg/l-1) of Yeast and Malt extracts and compared with their controls. Results revealed utmost growth and leaf proliferation at concentration 250 mg/l-1 of Yeast extract. Malt extracts exhibited more profound efficiency in root development. Both extracts showed no apparent effect on the quantity of chlorophyll.
