    This work focused on the in vitro rooting of explants of Myrcianthes rhopaloides, an endangered plant with high ecological and pharmacological value. The research aims to contribute to scientific knowledge on the propagation of native plants with therapeutic potential and to support the conservation of this species through micropropagation techniques. The methodology included the selection and disinfection of explants from healthy young branches of M. rhopaloides, which were grown in enriched media with different concentrations of AIB. Periodic measurements were performed to assess the viability of explants, the percentage of oxidation, contamination and the length of roots formed. In addition, digital tools such as SmartRoot software were used to analyze root development. The experimental design was structured using factorial tests with several replicates to ensure the reliability of the results. The results showed that internodal explants showed better root development compared to apical explants. A concentration of 0.2 mg per liter of AIB was found to promote root growth effectively, although it also increased the oxidation of the explants. Viability rates reached 62.5 percent in WPM treated explants, while the percentage of contamination and oxidation remained below 20 percent. These findings highlight the importance of adjusting culture conditions and hormone concentrations to maximize in vitro culture success.
