The present study was focused on standardizing a protocol for callus induction as well as regeneration in Centella asiatica from leaf and stem as explants. Stem and leaf explants have been inoculated in B5 media supplemented with BAP (0.1-2.5 mg/l), kn (01-04 mg/l) and NAA (0.1-0.5 mg/l), 2, 4-D (0.2mg/l) for callus induction. The combination of BAP and NAA leads to the formation of green, brown, compact and friable calli while Kn and 2, 4-D induced brown calli. Highest shooting was obtained from BAP (1.5 mg/l) and NAA(0.5 mg/l).When the shoots were inoculated in half strength of B5 media fortified with 0.1 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l NAA showed cent percent rooting with the highest number of roots per shoot (11.05 cm) and maximum root length (1.86 cm). Stem showed the best explants for callus induction as compared to leaf explants. A low concentration of plant growth regulators was unable to induced callus response in leaf and stem explants. Phenolic content analysis showed that calluses contain more amounts of phenol (0.81 mg/gmdw) as compared to both leaf (0.63 mg/gmdw) and stem (0.59 mg/gmdw) explants.

An efficient protocol for induction of callus and regeneration of a sugar cane var 93v297 has been developed and reported here. Callus induction from immature young leaf explants derived from 2-3-month-old plants was achieved on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with different auxins viz, 2,4-D, NAA and IAA. Among different auxins, 2, 4-D at 3.5mg/l + 0.5mg/l BAP was found favourable in inducing callus. Addition of coconut milk and BAP further enhanced the growth of callus maximum being on MS medium supplemented with 0.5mg/l BAP (3602.33±0.88mg). Calli were further evaluated for regeneration. MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP was found suitable where 100% calli regenerated with maximum number of multiple shoots per callus mass (41.40±0.89). Highest number of root emergence (28.33±1.16) and maximum root length (3.40±0.67cm) was achieved on MS medium supplemented with 3mgl/l NAA. The in vitro grown plants were transferred to polycups containing a mixture of sterilized sand, soil and cocopeet (1:1:1) for hardening. The hardened plants were transferred to green-house conditions where they survived with 90% frequency.

In the present study the protocol for callus induction and regeneration in Azima tetracantha has been developed in culture medium. The young apical leaf explants were used for callus induction on MS medium containing BAP and NAA at 1.0 and 0.4mgl-1 respectively showed maximum callus induction (73%). The amount of callus responded for shoot formation (74%) was obtained in the MS medium containing BAP (1.5 mgl-1) and NAA (0.3mgl-1).The elongated shoots were rooted on half strength medium supplemented with IBA (1.5 mgl-1) and Kn (0.4 mgl-1) for shoots rooted. Regenerated plantlets were successfully acclimatized and hardened off inside the culture and then transferred to green house with better survival rate.

The present investigation was conducted to develop a protocol for rapid callus induction and plant regeneration from leaf explant of Abutilon indicum L. Callus induction and plantlet regeneration at various frequencies were observed on MS using different concentrations of 2,4-D alone or in combination with BAP and Kn. The highest percentage of callus induction was observed with 2.5 mg/l 2,4-D (90) and with combination of 0.5 mg/l Kn (85). Optimum shoot formation was observed on same medium but supplemented with 2.0 mg/l Kn and 1.0 mg/l NAA (11.2). Rooting experiments with half strength of MS revealed that NAA was more suitable for root induction compared to IBA and IAA. The healthy in vitro rooting plantlets were successfully transferred to the field. The survival of the plantlets under ex vitro condition was 87%. Key words: Abutilon indicum, Callus induction, Leaf explants, Micropropagation D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v19i2.5435 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 19(2): 177-184, 2009 (December)

Leaf explants of Plumbago rosea L. an important medicinal plant inoculated on MS supplemented with 6.66 mM BAP and 2.69 mM NAA  produced numerous (105 ± 0.3) shootlets with an average length of 3.1 ± 0.0 cm. Small shootlets were transferred to shoot elongation medium supplemented with 1.11 mM BAP plus 1.44 mM GA3. The elongated shootlets transferred to half strength MS basal medium without any plant growth regulator produced 4.3 ± 0.2 rootlets per plants with average root length of 4.0 ± 0.0 cm after 25 days of culture. Rooted plantlets were transferred for hardening showed 80 - 90 per cent of plantlets success-fully established in the field. Potentially more than 50,000 plantlets could be produced within five subcultures from without callus phase obtained from leaf explant. Maximum root differentiation from leaf explants was obtained on MS supplemented with 5.38 mM IBA. The roots developed by the above method is an alternative for the controlled production of secondary metabolites. Key words:  In vitro culture, leaf explants, mass propagation, Plumbago rosea D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v19i1.4989 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 19(1): 79-87, 2009 (June)

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Aim</strong>: To optimize the concentrations of growth regulators in the media for the proficient micropropagation of grapevine (<em>Vitis vinifera </em>L.) cv. King’s Ruby.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Methods and results</strong>: Apical meristems of the grape cultivar were used to establish <em>in vitro</em> shoot cultures. Nodal explants, each containing an axillary bud, taken from <em>in vitro</em> grown shoots were inoculated in shoot proliferation medium, i.e., half strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with benzyl aminopurine (BAP), kinetin, glycine and gibberellic acid (GA<sub>3</sub>). A higher number of shoots (5.33) with greater shoot length (2.75 cm) was produced in the medium supplemented with 1.0 mg L<sup>-1</sup> BAP and 0.1 mg L<sup>-1</sup> GA<sub>3</sub>. Calluses were induced from leaf explants taken from <em>in vitro</em> grown shoots. Callus induction was greater (73.00%) on the medium containing 2.0 mg L<sup>-1</sup> 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 0.3 mg L<sup>-1</sup> BAP and 0.2 mg L<sup>-1</sup> α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The maximum frequency of shoot regeneration (53.33%) was achieved on the medium supplemented with 1.5 mg L<sup>-1</sup> BAP and 0.5 mg L<sup>-1</sup> NAA, and the regenerated shoots successfully formed roots on growth regulator-free half strength MS medium.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Optimizing the concentration of BAP and GA<sub>3</sub> and omitting the glycine and kinetin in the culture medium increased the number and length of shoots. Similarly, for inducing the callus of the leaf explants, taken from <em>in vitro</em> grown shoots, it is recommended to adjust the medium with the higher concentration of 2,4-D and lower concentrations of BAP. Moreover, the maximum number of shoots was regenerated on a medium supplemented with relatively high levels of both BAP and NAA (1.5 and 0.5 mg L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively). Finally, we suggest the half strength MS medium that is free from growth regulators for the root formation of the regenerated shoots.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Significance and impact of the study</strong>: Optimizing the concentration of growth regulators is crucial for the efficient micropropagation of a grape cultivar. Knowing the specific balance between the growth regulators is necessary to establish <em>in vitro</em> shoot cultures, callus induction and shoot regeneration and, hence, to propagate disease-free true to type grape cultivars in a short time.</p>

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) namely, 2,4-D, NAA and BAP were added into Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium to observe the effect of PGRs on the growth and development of Dendrobium sp. orchid. Leaf tips of Dendrobium sp. were used as explants and inoculated on MS medium supplemented with 2, 4 D (0, 0.5, 2.5, 5, 10 mgL?1) for development of PLBs. The maximum PLBs formation (90%) and the maximum number of PLBs (16.00) were observed in 10 mgL?1 2, 4-D into MS medium after 60 days of culture. Subcultured PLBs were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with different combinations of NAA (0, 0.5, 2.5, 5 mgL?1) and BAP (0, 0.5, 2.5, 5 mgL?1) for shoot regeneration. The maximum number of shoot (11.00), the highest fresh weight (0.6233g) and the highest shoot length (3.613 cm) were observed in 0.5 mgL?1 NAA + 0.5 mgL?1 BAP after 60 days of culture. Even, the maximum number of root (4.00), the maximum root length (1.627cm) and the maximum plantlet regeneration percentage (93.33%) were observed with the combined effect of 0.5 mg NAA and 0.5 mg BAP after 60 days of culture. Finally, regenerated plantlets were transferred into half strength MS medium to obtain plants.J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 8(2): 75-78 2015

This study examined the efficiency of callus induction on optimum concentrations of NAA (a-naphthaleneacetic acid) and BAP (6-benzyladenine) from culturing stem and leaf explants of finger eggplant (Solanum sp.) and investigated the phytochemical constituents of callus tissue. Seeds were sterilized by using 3 and 5 % Clorox solution, which gave the highest number of survival seeds (100 %) and were grown in vitro plantlets. The highest frequency of callus induction (100.00 ± 0.00 %) was obtained from stems and leaf explants that were excised from in vitro plantlets. The stem explants cultured on MS medium consisted of 1.0 mg/L NAA + 1.0 mg/L BAP, giving the maximum mean callus fresh weight (0.14 ± 0.05 g). Meanwhile, the leaf explants cultured on MS medium consisted of  0.5 mg/L NAA + 2.0 mg/L BAP, generating the maximum mean callus fresh weight (0.48 ± 0.10 g). The highest frequency of callus induction (88.00 ± 1.60 %) was obtained in solidified MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L NAA + 2.0 mg/L BAP, producing the maximum mean fresh weight of callus (1.54 ± 0.27 g) and dry weight (0.90 ± 0.01 g). The results of the Phytochemical screenings of callus and dried leaf extracts indicated the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and saponins.

Berries are grown worldwide with the most consumed berries being blackberries (Rubus spp.), blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum), red raspberries (Rubus idaeus) and strawberries (Fragaria spp.). Berries are either consumed fresh, frozen, or processed into wines, juices, and jams. In recent times, researchers have focused their attention on berries due to their abundance in phenolic compounds. The current study aimed to evaluate the phenolic content and their antioxidant potential followed by characterization and quantification using LC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS and HPLC-PDA. Blueberries were highest in TPC (2.93 ± 0.07 mg GAE/gf.w.) and TFC (70.31 ± 1.21 µg QE/gf.w.), whereas the blackberries had the highest content in TTC (11.32 ± 0.13 mg CE/gf.w.). Blueberries had the highest radical scavenging capacities for the DPPH (1.69 ± 0.09 mg AAE/gf.w.), FRAP (367.43 ± 3.09 µg AAE/gf.w.), TAC (1.47 ± 0.20 mg AAE/gf.w.) and ABTS was highest in strawberries (3.67 ± 0.14 mg AAE/gf.w.). LC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS study identified a total of 65 compounds including 42 compounds in strawberries, 30 compounds in raspberries, 28 compounds in blueberries and 21 compounds in blackberries. The HPLC-PDA quantification observed phenolic acid (p-hydroxybenzoic) and flavonoid (quercetin-3-rhamnoside) higher in blueberries compared to other berries. Our study showed the presence of phenolic acids and provides information to be utilized as an ingredient in food, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.
