Abstract

Pimpinella anisum, is a plant species popularly used as treatment for different diseases, although no studies exist which could prove its pharmacological activity. This species has no known methods of asepsis and adequate conditions to conduct in vitro propagation trials. To assess the most efficient method of seed sterilization and the most favorable concentration of agar and MS salts, five tests of asepsis and tests to evaluate the dry mass increase of germinated seed in 3g/L and 6g/L of agar and MS in concentrations of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, were carried out. The samples that were immersed in a concentration of 2% sodium hypochlorite for 20 minutes and then washed in distilled water produced 100% of sterile plantlets. The greatest increase in dry mass was obtained with 75% and 100% of MS salts. Furthermore, the different concentrations of agar did not influence the percentage of the plantlets dry mass.
