Leaf explants were cultured to evaluate the effect of different auxins and cytokinins and its concentrations; MS salts on micropropagation of the promising biodiesel Jatropha curcas plant under Egyptian conditions. Results showed that shoot initiated on 0.5 mg/l BA + 0.25 mg/l IBA. Multiplication and elongation were found to be the best using 0.5 mg/l BA in combination with 0.05 mg/l IBA. The multiple shoots were cultured on MS or half strength of MS supplemented with different concentrations of IAA and IBA for rooting phase. Half strength of MS containing 1.0 mg/l IAA was the best for rooting of micropropagated shoots. The rooted plantlets were acclimated in sand : peat?moss mixture (1 : 1) successfully.Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 26(1): 85-96, 2016 (June)

Lulo is a species of great importance to the fruticulture of Colombia, but has significant phytosanitary problems that require an aggressive breeding program oriented toward the production of genotypes with tolerance to phytopathogens. These programs need to establish highly efficient mass plant propagation protocols, such as somatic embryogenesis. This study focused on research on the somatic embryogenesis of lulo using kinetin, naphthalene acetic acid-NAA (Plant Growth Regulators, PGRs), and different sucrose concentrations in a MS medium. Two lulo varieties, Solanum quitoense var. septentrionale and S. quitoense var. quitoense, and two explant types (hypocotyl and cotyledon) were used, incubated in dark conditions at 25±2°C. The highest production percentage of the embryos was obtained when 50 mM of NAA were added to the medium with sucrose (50.0 and 263.1 mM) for the two explant types used. In lulo with spines, the highest percentage of embryonic structures (50%) was observed with cotyledonary leaf explants and 50 mM of NAA ; while in the spineless lulo, the embryonic structures were observed in the same type of explant with 50 mM of NAA + 263.1 mM of sucrose (32%).

<p class="IsiAbstrakIndo"><em>Justicia gendarussa </em>Burm.f., a medicinal plant, is Acanthaceae that has many functions. Furthermore, the compounds in gendarussa must be produced in high quantity and quality by applying callus culture method. Accordingly, it is important to study the effects of plant growth regulators (2,4-D, IBA, and BAP) on callus induction of gendarussa leaves. This research design utilized a factorial design with two factors (2,4-D and IBA: 0.5, 1, 1.5 mg/L and BAP: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 mg/L). The experiment consisted of 24 treatments, each of which was repeated 3 times. Observation was carried out in 6 weeks. Data on the time of callus formation, percentage of explants formed callus, and callus morphology were analyzed descriptively,while data on fresh and dry weight were analyzed by Two-Way ANOVA (<span>α</span> = 0.5). Interestingly, the results showed that various concentration of plant growth regulators (2,4-D, IBA, and BAP) affected callus induction from leaf explants of gendarussa. We concluded that the most optimal treatment combination of concentration of plant growth regulators in inducing callus from leaf explants of gendarussa is 1.5 mg/L 2,4-D and 2 mg/L BAP with a relatively long period of callus formation at the earliest, i.e. on day 5, 2.247 g of fresh weight, 0.108 gof dry weight, white callus translucent, and friable. <span lang="EN-GB">Moreover, t</span>he optimum treatment will be used to produce secondary metabolite and seed s<span lang="EN-GB">y</span>nthetic by cell suspension culture.</p>

An attempt was made to standardize the appropriate concentration of different growth regulators for successful in vitro growth of different explants (leaf, node and internode) of Aloe vera L. Results demonstrated best in vitro growth in leaf explants in MS medium supplemented with BAP (1.0 mg/l) and NAA (1.0 mg/l) at 26 ± 2ºC) with pH 5.70 using agar solidified medium and 16 hrs photoperiod.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been widely used in plant genetic transformation. Hormone-encoding genes residing in the T-DNA region have been removed, resulting in disarmed Agrobacterium strains that are used in various transformation experiments. Nopaline Agrobacterium strains, however, carry another hormone gene, trans-zeatin synthesizing (tzs), that codes for trans-zeatin in the virulence region of the tumor-inducing plasmids. We investigated the activity and function of the tzs gene of a nopaline Agrobacterium sp. strain GV3101 in plant in vitro regeneration. Leaf explants of tobacco and Nicotiana benthamiana co-cultured with strain GV3101 exhibited active shoot regeneration in media without added plant growth regulators. On medium without plant growth regulators, transgenic shoots were also induced from explants co-cultured with GV3101 containing a binary vector. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that cell-free extracts of Agrobacterium sp. strain GV3101 culture contained the trans-zeatin at 860 ng/liter. Polymerase chain reaction using tzs-specific primers showed that the tzs gene was present in strain GV3101 but not in other Agrobacterium strains. The study showed that the tzs gene in GV3101 was actively expressed, and that trans-zeatin produced in the Agrobacterium strain can promote plant shoot regeneration.
