Resumen

In vitro micropropagation Opuntia cactus plants, whose young stems are consumed as vegetables, is reported. Cladode explants from three Opuntia genotypes, were cultivated in MS medium containing BA and GA3. Shoots produced were used as secondary explants and BA added at different concentrations to induce shoot development. 0.5 μM BA was the best for bud formation. Satisfactory rooting occurred when IBA was added to the medium, and plants were successfully established in soil and adapted to greenhouse conditions. The protocols developed in this work provide a basis for the establishment of a genetic transformation system for Opuntia spp.
