  Ansellia Africana lindl is an endemic orchid species in sub-Saharan Africa classified on the red list as "vulnerable" owing to its overexploitation for medicinal purposes? In vitro propagation has been a viable alternative for conservation and propagation of endangered orchid species. Many culture media are used in in vitro propagation of orchid; however, there is still no specific formulation for Ansellia Africana lindl. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of different treatment of the growth regulators Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) and Benzylaminopurine (BAP) on the number of leaves, number of shoots, shoot length, number of roots and root length in the in vitro cultivation of Ansellia Africana lindl. The BAP and NAA treatment caused differentiated responses in Ansellia Africana lindl. I.. View More»
