García-Rubio O., Malda-Barrera G., Micropropagation and Reintroduction of the Endemic Mammillaria mathildae (Cactaceae) to Its Natural Habitat, HortScience, 2010, 45(6):934-938, doi: 10.21273/HORTSCI.45.6.934

The paper describes propagation of Mammillaria mathildae from seedlings grown from the seeds of 62 maternal plants. It compares explant types, BA and IAA additions, rooting on MS medium and acclimatisation. A further section presents planting of 100 plants in Cañada Juriquilla and five months of survival observations, with a discussion of the importance of rainfall, physiological condition and potential symbionts.
