The genus Melastoma contains about 100 species and is distributed mainly in South Asia, the Pacific Ocean and Australia. In China, there are nine species and one variety. They are mainly distributed in areas South of the Changjiang River. Among these, most species in the genus Melastoma have varying foliage and beautiful flowers that are used for ornamental and horticultural purposes. In this study, we established an in vitro propagation system for Melastoma affine. Young leaf lobes from in vitro plantlets were induced to form callus on MS medium containing 1.0 mg.l thidiazuron or 1.0 mg.l thidiazuron in combination with 0.5 mg.l 6-benzyladenine (BA). Thereafter, adventitious shoots developed directly from callus on the same medium. The adventitious shoots can develop multiple-shoots on the propagation medium containing 0.2 mg.l BA + 0.02 mg.l NAA and root formation and plantlets regeneration were achieved on 1⁄2MS medium with 0.1 mg.l IBA. An efficient in vitro propagation and plant regeneration system was successfully established. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
