ABSTRACT: At the Genetics and Plant Breeding Laboratory
of the Department of Agronomy and Agricultural Extension, University of Rajshahi,
Bangladesh, strawberry in vitro propagation was done. Five
Benzylaminopurine (BAP) concentrations were utilized for shoot induction—0.0
mg/L (Control), 0.5 mg/L, 1.0 mg/L, 1.5 mg/L, and 2.0 mg/L and five Indole Buteric
Acid (IBA) concentrations—0.0 mg/L(Control), 0.5 mg/L, 1.0 mg/L, 1.5 mg/L, and
2.0 mg/l—were used for the induction of the root. The highest mean amount of
shoots (eight) and length of the shoot (3.40 cm) were observed at a
concentration of BAP of 0.5 mg/L. Festival also had the highest mean amount of
leaves (6) when we used the identical
concentration, while RABI-3 and Camarosa did the least well. The IBA of
0.5 mg/L concentration of rooting performed the best across all metrics tested
among the five concentrations. The longest (3.3 cm) roots and most roots (7)
were likewise obtained from this concentration in Festival. However, RABI-3 and
Camarosa performed worse than Festival in the same concentration. Half-strength MS media without IBA concentration showed no response regarding root induction for each of the three cultivars.
