Anthurium is an important ornamental plant grown around the globe and also in India. Seed and vegetative propagation of this plant are tedious and very slow process and not practical when carried out on a large scale. Therefore, biotechnological approach such as in- vitro cloning is found to be a novel method for production of pathogen free true-to-type plantlets at a faster rate. In this study, a competent surface sterilization procedure was standardized for aseptic in-vitro culture from leaf explants of Anthurium adraeanum (Hort.) cv. Fire under in vitro conditions. | Effect of surface sterilization time on leaf explants for aseptic culture in Anthurium adraeanum Hort. cv. Fire
