Induction of variations in certain tropical ornamental plants and selection of variants for large scale cultivation
This study was undertaken to introduce morphological variations in Fagraea fragrans Roxb. (a way-side tree), Heliconiapsittacorum cv. 'Golden Torch'(a landscape herb) and Peperomia magnoliaefolia (Jacq.) Diert. (a potted herb) through in vitro mutagenesis. These species are commonly grown...

| Summary: | This study was undertaken to introduce morphological variations in Fagraea fragrans Roxb. (a way-side tree), Heliconiapsittacorum cv. 'Golden Torch'(a landscape herb) and Peperomia magnoliaefolia (Jacq.) Diert. (a potted herb) through in vitro mutagenesis. These species are commonly grown in Singapore either for landscape beautification or for indoor displays at homes and offices. Introduction of any phenotypic variation in these plants would enhance their ornamental values. |
