Abstract

In Costa Rica Albizia guachapele, Cedrela odorata, Platymiscium pinnatum and Guaiacum sanctum are important plant species in both economic and ecological terms and their wood is precious and reported to be highly resistant material. This research has evaluated the in vitro micropropagation as a technology focused to conserve these species. Findings include percentage of germination of seeds and contamination, induction of buds, rooting and growth of micro-cuttings of these four species.
