Adenophora liliifolia, also known as Lilyleaf ladybell or false campanula, has been influenced by human activity and its natural habitat has been affected. The populations of this species currently show a widespread decline throughout Europe and several national red lists and the Carpathian Endangered Species List classified it as threatened due to the impact of its habitats. This project focuses on the preservation of A. liliifolia germplasm, establishing an ex situ conservation protocol and the conservation of A. liliifolia through its ornamental use, which could preserve the species in the long term. The current study demonstrates that A. liliifolia can multiply and root on a synthetic Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different doses of growth regulator (PGR) and natural extracts, with good efficiency. According to the results, the appropriate culture medium for A. liliifolia was 1⁄4 MS. A rapid and simple in vitro seedling micropropagation system was established for future reintroductions. These results are providing the starting point for future restoration programs and conservation management actions.
