Resumen

. Luma chequen, a small tree or large shrub belonging to the Myrtaceae family, is endemic to South America and has medicinal, nutritional and ornamental potential. However, its native habitat is deteriorating gradually, and it is suffering from the effects of fragmentation that is being caused by the conversion of forest land to agricultural land and the natural expansion of monocultural plantations of exotic species, such as Pinus radiata. The purpose of this work is to develop an effective procedure for establishing in vitro cultures of the native Chilean species L. chequen. Aseptic nodal segments were evaluated after exposure to a disinfecting agent (1% solution of sodium hypochlorite) for different lengths of time. Murashige and Skoog (MS) or Woody Plant (WPM) culture media with 6-Bencilaminopurine (BAP) or 2-isopentenil adenine (2-iP) added to a concentration of 1 mg L-1 were evaluated. Although no significant differences were observed between cultures with and without additives, 40.43% of the explant cultures were successfully established. Furthermore, the choice of basal medium or the addition of plant growth regulators was not found to affect the shoot formation efficiency. Luma chequen pertenece a la familia Myrtaceae y es una especie endémica de Sudamérica. Su hábitat se está deteriorando paulatinamente producto de la conversión de suelos forestales a suelos agrícolas y por las plantaciones en monocultivo con especies exóticas, como Pinus radiata. Por otro lado, la regeneración natural de la especie es escasa, debido a la escasa viabilidad de sus semillas en sus hábitats originales. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo desarrollar un procedimiento eficaz de establecimiento al cultivo in vitro para la especie nativa chilena Luma chequen, la que se tiene un alto potencial para uso medicinal y en la industria de los nutracéuticos. Para el establecimiento al cultivo in vitro de segmentos nodales se evaluó el efecto del tiempo de exposición de los explantes ante el hipoclorito de sodio (1%), la composición del medio de cultivo y el tipo de regulador del crecimiento (BAP y 2-iP a 1 mg L-1). Se obtuvo un 40,43% de eficiencia en el establecimiento de los explantes. No se observó un efecto significativo de los medios de cultivo o los reguladores del crecimiento sobre la emisión de brotes en los explantes establecidos.
