In Vitro Propagation of Endemic Kazakh Tulips: Effects of Temperature and Growth Regulators.

ABSTRACT: Tulipa auliekolica and Tulipa turgaica have been recently described as endangered species endemic to Kazakhstan, which require urgent conservation amid rising human impact and climate change. Biotechnology offers effective tools for conserving such rare species; however, species-specific in vitro protocols tailored to their biological traits remain largely unreported. This study aimed to develop an in vitro propagation protocol for these rare Tulipa species by investigating the effects of different temperature regimes and phytohormone treatments. We conducted a study on the in vitro propagation of two recently described species, T. auliekolica and T. turgaica. Species-specific temperature regimes for seed stratification were established.
