The objective of this study was to establish cell suspension culture and plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis of a Brazilian plantain, cultivar Terra Maranhão, AAB. Immature male flowers were used as explant source for generating highly embryogenic cultures 45 days after inoculation, which were used for establishment of cell suspension culture and multiplication of secondary somatic embryos. Five semisolid culture media were tested for differentiation, maturation, somatic embryos germination and for plant regeneration. An average of 558 plants per one milliliter of 5% SCV (settled cell volume) were regenerated in the MS medium, with 11.4 µM indolacetic acid and 2.2 µM 6-benzylaminopurine. Regenerated plants showed a normal development, and no visible somaclonal variation was observed in vitro. It is possible to regenerate plants from cell suspensions of plantain banana cultivar Terra using MS medium supplemented with 11.4 µM of IAA and 2.2 µM of BAP.

An experiment was conducted to study the in vitro culture of pointed gourd. Cotyledon rescued from physiologically matured seeds (PMS) and immatured seeds (IMS) of pointed gourd were used as explants. Cotyledon excised from PMS responded very well in all culture conditions. Plant regenerated from cotyledon of PMS ranged from 38 to 96% in different hormonal formulations of culture media. Highest percentage of shoot regeneration was observed in MS + 1.0 mg/l BAP and lowest in MS + 2.5 mg/l BAP. No plant regeneration was observed in cotyledon from immatured seeds. The highest percentage of root induction (99%) was achieved in half MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l NAA. The regenerated plantlets were successfully established in earthen pot. Keywords: Cotyledon; in vitro; pointed gourd. DOI: 10.3329/bjar.v35i1.5874Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 35(1) : 135-142, March 2010

Cotyledons from developing embryos 6 to 8 weeks old of Liatris spicata (blazing star) were cultured on Murashige-Skoog (MS) medium containing 0, 0.4, 4.4, and 44.4 μ M benzyladenine (BA) or 0, 0.2, 2.2, and 22.2 μ M thidiazuron (TDZ) to induce adventitious shoot formation. The highest percent of cotyledons forming shoots with highest shoot counts was on medium containing 2.2 μ M TDZ. Vitreous shoots formed on medium with 22.2 μ M TDZ. Callus derived from cotyledons and cultured on medium containing 4.44 μ M BA or 2.2 μ M TDZ formed adventitious shoots with highest shoot counts on 4.44 μ M BA. Adventitious shoots derived from cotyledons and callus were rooted on MS medium with 5.0 μ Mindole-3-butyric acid, acclimatized and grown ex vitro. All micropropagated plants appeared similar to each other.

Cotyledons from developing 6- to 8-week-old embryos of Liatris spicata (L.) Willd. (blazing star) were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium containing 0, 0.4, 4.4, or 44.4 μm BA or 0, 0.2, 2.2, or 22.2 μm TDZ to induce adventitious shoot formation. The highest percentage of cotyledons forming the most shoots was on medium containing 2.2 μm TDZ. Cotyledon-derived callus cultured on medium containing 4.4 μm BA formed ≈16 times more adventitious shoots than on 2.2 μm TDZ. Adventitious shoots derived from cotyledons or callus produced roots when placed on MS medium containing 5.0 μm IBA. Regenerated plants that flowered in the field appeared homogeneous. Chemical names used: N6-benzyladenine (BA), thidiazuron (TDZ), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA).

Several experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of explant type, sucrose level, and callus development time on sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam] in vitro culture. Shoot tip, petiole, and leaf of Selection 75-96-1 was used as explants in Murashige and Skoog (MS) media with different plant growth regulators. Calli derived from shoot tip and petiole produced 42.1% and 10.3% somatic embryos, respectively, but the leaf failed to produce somatic embryos. The effect of sucrose level was determined using shoot tip as explants. Compared with 3% sucrose in the same plant growth regulators level medium during callus initiation and callus proliferation periods, 5% sucrose level suppressed root growth and improved shoot regeneration. The callus development time was measured by using shoot tips on callus initiation medium containing 1.5 mg/L alpha-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.25 mg/L Kinetin (KIN) plus 5% sucrose. When explants were cultured for less than 6 weeks during callus initiation, then transferred onto plant regeneration medium, plant regeneration via organogenesis occurred; whereas, maintaining cultures for more than 12 weeks on the same callus initiation/proliferation medium, plant regeneration was favored via embryogenesis. Explant type and other factors affecting plant regeneration noted here could be applied to protoplast culture, somatic hybridization, and transformation in sweetpotato.

Summary Embryogenic callus of sago (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) has been grown on three systems of in vitro culture i.e. agar-solidified medium, liquid medium, and temporary immersion system (TIS) medium to observe and compare the development of embryogenic callus over one passage of six weeks.  A-half gram of embryogenic callus was cultured on a modified MS medium containing 10 mg/L   2,4-D and 0.1 mg/L kinetin. For histological studies, embryogenic callus was fixed in FAA and embedded in paraplast wax. Serial sections were stained with safranin 1% and observed microscopically. By the end of culture period, the development of embryogenic callus in TIS medium was relatively better than those of the other two media.  Fresh weight of callus in liquid medium and TIS increased by 6.5-fold, while on agar-solidified medium increased by 5.4-fold in six weeks.  About 40% of callus in liquid medium and TIS and 20% of callus on agar solidified medium have changed into somatic embryos at globular stage. Histology structure of embryogenic callus of the three systems of in vitro culture shows different pattern. On agar-solidified medium, secondary callus and friable embryogenic callus that consist of meristematic cells were formed. In contrast, more embryogenic cells were formed in liquid medium and TIS to support maturation process to somatic embryos. Therefore, temporary immersion system and liquid medium are recommended for maturation of embryogenic callus, whereas agar-solidified medium is for proliferation of embryogenic callus of sago.  Ringkasan Kalus embriogenik sagu (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) telah ditumbuhkan pada tiga sistem kultur in vitro yaitu medium padat, medium cair, dan medium dengan sistem perendaman sesaat (SPS) untuk mempelajari dan mem-bandingkan perkembangan dari kalus embrio-genik selama periode enam minggu. Setengah gram kalus embriogenik dikulturkan pada medium MS modifikasi yang mengandung  2,4-D 10 mg/L dan kinetin 0,1 mg/L.  Untuk studi histologi, kalus embriogenik difiksasi dengan FAA dan embedding menggunakan lilin paraplast. Irisan diwarnai dengan safranin 1% dan diamati menggunakan mikroskop. Pada akhir periode kultur, pertumbuhan kalus pada medium dengan SPS lebih baik dibandingkan dengan medium cair dan padat. Bobot basah kalus pada  medium cair dan SPS meningkat 6,5 kali sedangkan pada medium padat meningkat 5,4 kali dalam waktu enam minggu. Sebanyak 40% kalus pada medium cair dan SPS serta 20% kalus pada medium padat berubah menjadi embrio somatik fase globuler. Struktur histologi kalus embriogenik pada ketiga jenis sistem kultur in vitro menunjukkan pola yang berbeda. Pada medium padat terjadi pembentukan kalus sekunder dan kalus embriogenik remah yang terdiri atas sel-sel meristematik. Sebaliknya pada medium cair dan SPS pembentukan sel embriogenik lebih banyak yang menunjang proses pendewasaan menjadi embrio somatik. Oleh karena itu, medium cair dan SPS direkomendasikan untuk pendewasaan kalus embriogenik, sedangkan medium padat untuk proliferasi kalus embriogenik sagu.
