Melastoma Plant Tissue Culture

Melastoma is a genus of high ornamental and medicinal value in the Melastomataceae family, with about 100 species worldwide, distributed from southern Asia to northern Oceania and the Pacific islands.

We create culture systems for plants that are not currently
being studied in-depth, because we believe that each
plant is a precious treasure trove.

The flowers of this genus are hermaphroditic, in cymes, umbels, corymbs, or panicles or scorpioid cymes composed of the above inflorescences, with large and brightly colored flowers, long flowering period, and peculiar leaf shape, which have high ornamental characteristics and ornamental value.

Due to the high medicinal value of this genus, the survival of the resources of Melastoma plants is threatened by a large number of extractions and the destruction of the habitat.

Due to the existence of a large number of hybrid offspring in nature and previous studies on Melastoma plants mainly from morphology, the current boundaries between species under the genus and species are not clear, and there is a large disagreement in academic circles on their classification. Most of the plants in this genus are in the wild, and their germplasm innovation is lagging, the cultivation system has not been established, and there is a lack of systematic industrialization technology system, protocols, and standards.

The traditional methods of Melastoma seed propagation (light, temperature, and hormones are important factors affecting the seed germination of Melastoma plants, which vary greatly from species to species and take a long time from seed germination to plant flowering) and cuttings propagation (the survival rate of cuttings is only low and limited by many factors) have their shortcomings and cannot meet the current market demand.

Tissue culture is not affected by the environment, climate, and other external conditions, and can be produced year-round. It not only maintains the excellent traits of the plants but also obtains a large number of high-quality and neat Melastoma seedlings in a short period, laying the foundation for the preservation of species resources, garden applications, and biological breeding. Lifeasible has established a stable and rapid tissue culture system in Melastoma plants with its rich experience and professional team.

We can establish sterile systems using young stem tips, axillary buds, flower stalks, young leaves, seeds, etc. of Melastoma plants. The basic medium for induction is MS, and the hormone combination is mostly 6-BA and NAA, and we will make the optimal choice according to the source, state, and variety of the explants in specific cases.

The role of Melastoma in urban gardens

• The role of native plants in the urban environment
• Increasing the diversity of plant species
• Performing the function of regulating urban ecology
