Abstract
Garlic usually propagated through its cloves, it is one of the industrial food crops
for which the in vitro plant propagation method has been extensively used. This study
was conducted to establish In vitro rapid multiplication for shoot induction and bulblets
formation of garlic as affected by types of explants. It was conduct at the Plant Tissue
Culture Laboratory of DMMMSU NLUC, Bacnotan, La Union from November 2022 to
April 2023. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with
three treatments and replicated three times. The different types of explant that were used
as treatment were as follows: T1- Whole shoot tip; T2 – Split shoot tip and T3- Stem disc.
The study revealed that split shoot tip explant produced shoot the earliest with a
mean of 10.20 – 20.67 days, highest number of shoots with a mean of 2.95 – 3.37 , and
number of roots with a mean of 1.42 – 2.85 after the 30 to 60 days of Sub-culturing.
However, longer shoots were produced from whole shoot tip with a mean of 253.25 –
175.25. Furthermore, in terms of bulb formation, no significant difference were observed
on the number of shoots that produced bulb, number of days to bulbing, and weight of
bulblets while significant differences were observed on the number of days to maturity
between whole shoot tip and split shoot tip.
