In vitro culture of a dwarf mistletoe, Arceuthobium pusillum
Keyword(s):
Embryos, small seedlings, and seeds of Arceuthobium pusillum Peck were cultured on White's medium supplemented with coconut milk and casein hydrolysate. The embryos increased in size up to five times their original length and often produced a holdfast at the tip of the radicle. Holdfasts with haustorial wedges were produced in cultures of small seedlings. In some of the seed cultures the radicles produced branches which showed many of the anatomical characteristics typical of young branches of the natural endophytic system inside the host bark. Occasionally a callus mass was formed at the base of the radicle and on the seed.
