Abstract Taro genetic improvement through polyploidy induction is expected to be tolerant to abiotic stress. Several studies have shown that polyploidy plants have a higher adaptability to dry environments. In vitro selection technique for evaluation of plant tolerance to drought stress can be done by applying polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a selection agent. The aim of the research was to investigate the growth response of diploid and tetraploid taro shoot culture to drought stress using PEG. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with two factors. The first factor was the concentration of PEG at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%. The second factor was Bentul taro clones which were 1 diploid clone and 2 tetraploid clones (clones 4.6.3 and 5.4.4). PEG was added to liquid MS medium containing 2 mg/l BAP. Observations of growth variables were carried out every week until the six weeks of culture. Fresh and dry weights, mortality percentage and proline content were determined at six weeks of culture. The results showed that the addition of PEG in liquid medium significantly affected the number of leaves, petiole length, number of roots, fresh and dry weights, as well as shoot mortality percentage. Differences in clones significantly affected the number of leaves, fresh and dry weights. The two factors tested (PEG and clones), gave an interaction on the number of leaves, fresh and dry weights. The proline content in all diploid and tetraploid clones showed an increase with increasing PEG concentration. The LC50 value in diploid clones was 9.82%, in tetraploid clones 4.6.3 and 5.4.4 were 14.14 and 15.45%, respectively. The results showed that PEG at 10% and 15% could be used for in vitro selection to drought stress both for diploid and tetraploid taro.

Musa paradisiaca cv Lang belongs to cooking banana group, and it has high potential to be used in banana chips production. Like other cultivars, M. paradisiaca cv Lang is susceptible towards water shortage, therefore affecting banana growth and productivity. In this study, to mimic the drought condition, pseudo-drought stress was given to in vitro Lang banana seedlings by adding polyethylene glycol (PEG). Overall, decrement of roots length and chlorophyll (Chl) content was displayed by the seedlings exposed to 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% (w/v) of PEG after three weeks of exposure. The proline content, total soluble protein content, and antioxidant capacity in leaf and roots, however, countered differently towards different levels of drought. Proline content showed the highest in leaf of 2% (w/v) PEG-treated seedling (12.66±0.38 µmoles/g) while the total soluble protein content showed the highest in roots of 5% (w/v) of PEG-treated seedling (30.65±1.07 mg/g FW). Antioxidant capacity of stressed seedlings revealed the catalase (CAT), guaiacol peroxidase (POD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities were the highest in the leaf of 1% (w/v) (10.69±5.06 µmol/min/mg), 4% (w/v), (0.079±0.03 µmol/min/mg), and 5% (w/v) (9.11±8.47 µmol/min/mg) of PEG- treated seedlings, respectively. Meanwhile, the highest CAT, POD, and APX activities in the roots were determined in 3% (w/v) (0.49±0.04 µmol/min/mg), 2% (w/v) (0.03±0.02 µmol/min/mg), and 3% (w/v) (16.69±0.5 µmol/min/mg) of PEG-treated seedlings, respectively. These data show that PEG can be a priming agent to induce defense system at seedling stage of banana, which could enhance their survivability during ex vitro acclimatization.

The current paper aimed to study the in vitro response of potato genotypes to water stress induced by adding sorbitol and polyethylene glycol in the culture medium. The biological material analysed in the experiment was represented by a Romanian line ‘LP 11-1525/1’ and two isogenic lines ‘LI 101’ and ‘LI 102’. For cultures initiation, the line ‘LP 11-1525/1’ was started from meristems and for the other two genotypes true potato seeds were used. The studied potato genotypes behaved differently depending on the analysed parameters and on the treatment applied for drought tolerance. It was noted that the line ‘LP 11-1525/1’ achieved good results for most of the growth parameters studied, and also the lines derived from true potato seeds behaved well, in some cases even exceeding the line derived from meristems. Of the lines derived from true potato seeds, the best performance was noted for line ‘LI 101-6’ in all the analysed parameters, both on sorbitol and PEG medium. In addition, lines ‘LI 101-7’ and ‘LI 102-4’ achieved good results on both variants of medium used to mediate water stress. Therefore, establishing drought tolerance individuals within populations derived from true potato seeds using sorbitol and polyethylene glycol might be applied.

ABSTRACT<br /><br />Sugarcane cultivars tolerant to drought stress are needed for specific location. In vitro selection can be used to obtain plants tolerant to drought stress through regeneration of callus in the culture medium. The purpose of this study was to obtain regenerants from irradiated callus on the stress medium. The experimental design was a completely randomized design with two factors. The first factor was the regeneration medium (RG) added with PEG 6000, i.e., 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%, while the second factor was the dose of gamma ray irradiation i.e. 0 krad, 5 and 10 krad, and 15 krad. There were 12 treatments, each treatment was repeated 18 times and each repetition was a culture bottles planted with three clums of callus 10 mm diameter. RG medium was the MS medium added with 0.5 mg L-1 BAP, Kinetin 0.1 mg L-1 and IBA 1.0 mg L-1. The higher the concentration of PEG, the less regenerants were produced. Regenerants could be generated from the selection medium PEG up to 15%. Several shoots still produced from callus irradiated with 10 krad. Selection medium with PEG up to 10% decreased the precentage of albino regenerants. The gamma ray irradiation dose and the concentration of PEG significanly affected the number of  roots produced.<br /><br />Keywords: drought tolerant, in vitro, polyethylene glycol, plantlets, albino<br /><br />

Background: Water shortage due to natural and/or technical drought stress, widespread throughout Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi and Kalimantan islands, significantly reduces crop production. The development of varieties tolerant to drought stress is important since it is more effective rather than improving irrigation infrastructure to increase the sweet potato productivity. Methods: Selection and regeneration experiments assessing purple sweet potato callus tolerance of drought stress, simulated by polyethylene glycol (PEG), were conducted to generate new variant plants tolerant of drought stress. Sterile explants (leaf and petiole) generated from previous in vitro culture were inoculated to the Murishage and Skoog (MS) medium containing plant growth regulator combination as treatments to induce calli. The calli were then transferred to half-MS medium containing 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% PEG as selection agent for drought tolerance. The surviving calli were regenerated in the MS medium containing 0, 0.5, 1 or 1.5 mg l-1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The callus formation, growth and survivability during in vitro culture were measured. Results: Calli were successfully formed in almost all media containing 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D ) with the concentration of 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg l-1 and BAP (concentration: 0.5 and 1 mg l-1), but the medium of MS + 2 mg l-1 2,4-D + 0.5 mg l-1 BAP resulted in the highest number of induced calli per treatment (mean=11.36), with the percentage of responsive explants standing at around 96%. The higher the concentration of PEG, the lower the number of surviving calli. At 20% PEG, only 54.42% calli survived. There were five plants successfully regenerated from the survived calli at 20% PEG, using MS medium containing 1.5 mg l-1 BAP. Conclusions: The experiment has successfully produced putative drought-tolerant plants by callus screening using PEG as drought-tolerance-selecting agent in purple sweet potato.
