  • Plant cells have a totipotencial capacity, the ability of each cell to produce a new complete individual through development. By applying this, several technologies are being developed for widespread application of somatic embryogenesis by processing hormones in vitro as a method of propagation of plants. In order to use this technology, in Kalanchoe pinnata, a plant capable of asexual reproduction with more regular cell division, kinetin belonging to cytokinin and picloram among hormones belonging to auxin were added in combination and treated for 8 weeks, and then the typical performance was evaluated. As a result of our experiment, the rooting effect in leaf slices showed a 70% incidence rate at a picloram concentration of 0.1 mg/L. It has been proven that a concentration difference of 1:5-1:10 in the ratio of kinetin and picloram is effective. It is the experimental result that the effect of auxin is essential for the development of Kalanchoe roots. As for the effect of shooting, the incidence rate was 60% at the picloram concentration of 0.5 mg/L. The kinetin concentration from 0.5 and 1.0 mg/L and has a significant effect on development. It has been proven that the ratio of kinetin to picloram is effective with a concentration difference of 1:1-1:2. These results show that the combination of cytokinin and auxin is crucially important for shooting. It is thought that it can be the basis of a technology for inducing mass proliferation in vitro by inducing direct organogenesis with a combination of hormones.
