T ropical and subtropical species o f Aglaonema Schott. are very

ornamental and characterized by high resistance to unfavourable condition

ofinteriors, thefore they are widely used in

phytodesign.To

get planting material

we exemined plant micropropagation of genus

Aglaonema: A. ’Silver Qeen’,

Acommutatum , A. commutatum ’Pseudobracteatum’, A. marantifolia, A.

treubii.

For propagation we selected young shoots of 10cm in length. Explants

were segments of leaves, apical and lateral buds o f young shoots. Sterile

explants were got by sterilization with 20% and 5% Clorox and ampicillin, in

consequentive order. Studing morphogenetic potentions of explants it was

determ ined, that using of segments is unadvantaeous, becouse of it was

not success to get any structures from such segments. Regenerative ability

o f axillary buds, used as explants depended on the ir disposition on shoot.

Buds o f basal part of shoot has high morphogenetic potential and buds from

apical partvery low. We demonstrated, that morphogenetic ability of buds is

directly proportional to capacity. The more components are is bud, the higher

is its regenerative potential. Common fo r all isolated cultures of aglaonemas

is very slow growth and number of phenolic compounds, evolved in nutrient

medium. Optimal growth and development of aglaonemas cultures were found

on nutrient medium M-S with application o f 80 mg/l adenin, 3 mg/l NAA and

2 g/l activated charcoal. In some casesto increase explants growth is possible

by changing conditions of cultivation, so decreasing photoperiod from 16 to

10 h. and increasing temperature of cultivation from 26 °C to 30°C promote

successful growth o f all aglaonemas isolated cultures. Obtained plants-

regenerants were planted in substrate consists: of sphagnous moss and

sand (1:1).
