Arachis glabrata Benth. of rhizome perennial peanut is used as a forage plants with
higher nutrient value. The nodal segments were used to propagate in vitro by 0.2% of HgCl2
plus antibiotic and cefotaxime and preservative for plant tissue culture media active (PPM) at
15 min. It was the most effective procedure for disinfecting plant parts (survival of 73.33%).
Shoot induction used to the nodal segments of A. glabrata cultivar Florigraze were cultured
on MS medium combination with plant growth regulators in cytokinin group at different
concentrations 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 3 and 5 mg L-1 of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), N6-
furfuryladenine (Kn), meta-Topolin (mT) and Thidiazuron (TDZ). The maximum growth rate
was 66.67% on 5 mg L-1 of mT was the highest shoot length of 18.43 mm after 30 days. Root
induction was achieved on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg L-1 of α-Naphthaleneacetic
acid (NAA) and 0.2% Activated Charcoal (AC) after 8-12 days cultured when compared with
MS medium without plant growth regulators at the basal condition. Thereafter, the plantlets
were transferred into the soil for acclimatization. It is the first report using the nodal segment in
vitro propagation.
