Japanese spiraea (Spiraea japonica) is an ornamental shrub widely used in landscaping. The method of clonal micropropagation of Spiraea japonica was optimized to obtain a large number of plants from several shoots. The optimal concentrations of hormones have been established to increase multiplication and root formation. QL medium with 0,5 mg/l benzyl aminopurine (BAP) in combination with 1,0 mg/l gibberelic acid (GA); 0,01 and 1,0 mg/l indolyl butyric acid (IBA); 1,0 mg/l of naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) were tested for multiplication. For root induction, naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) was used in five doses at half the concentration of QL and MS medium. The highest multiplication of shoots (14,02±1,39) and the highest increase in shoot length (6,39) was obtained on QL medium supplemented with 0,5 mg/l BAP; 1,0 mg/l GA and IBA 0,01 mg/l. The highest rooting (100%), the maximum number of roots (6,20±0,63), the length of the longest root (4,60±0,02) was observed on ½ QL medium containing 0,1 mg/l NAA. In conclusion, for Spiraea japonica, an efficient high speed and rooting protocol is described that can be used in mass propagation.

The research is devoted to the development of clonal micro-propagation technology of the decorative cereal Molinia caerulea (L.) Moench. The concentration of 2.0 mg /l of cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BAP) contributed to obtaining the maximum number of microshoots: 6.3 and 7.9 pcs. on Anderson's and Murashige-Skoog's (MS) media, respectively, which exceeded the control (by 4.7 and 6.3, respectively, with LSD05 = 2.3). The length shoots were observed on hormone-free media, this indicator significantly decreased with an increase in 6-BAP content. On Anderson and MS media with 1.0 mg/l 6-BAP, the shoot length averaged 21.5 and 26.4 mm, respectively, which made it possible to transplant them for rooting, bypassing planting on a medium for elongation. The inclusion of the Siliplant micro-fertilizer in the MS medium at doses of 1.0 and 2.0 ml/l contributed to a significant increase in shoot size, by 16.7 and 10.7 mm (LSD05 = 8.9), respectively, in comparison with the control (MS). It is recommended to use Anderson's medium and 0.5 mg/l of indole-3-acetic acid as a medium for rhizogenesis: after two weeks of cultivation, the regenerants had a standard appearance with developed roots suitable for planting for adaptation. At the adaptation stage, watering the substrate with the biofungicide «Trichoderma veride» according to the instructions and a cereals single spraying with the micro-fertilizer «Siliplant» at a dose of 1.5 ml/l contributed to their 100 % survival rate.

In vitro seed germination and seedling development of Phaius tancarvilleae (L’Her.) Blume. was carried out on 0.8%(w/v) agar solidified MS Medium (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) without hormones or supplemented with different concentration and combination of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l of BAP was the most ideal condition for early seed germination, protocorm formation and development of seedlings. Germination started after 7 weeks of culture and complete seedlings were obtained after 24 weeks of culture. This protocol might be helpful for mass propagation of orchids by asymbiotic seed germination.

Seedling-derived cotyledonary nodes and hypocotyl explants of BARI Dherosh- 1 were cultured in vitro on MS medium supplemented with varying concentrations of 2, 4-Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D), 6- Benzylaminopurine (BAP), Thidiazuron (TDZ), BAP with 1-Nepthaleneacetic acid (NAA), BAP with Indole 3-butyric acid (IAA) and Zeatin with IAA along with a control. Shooting response (100%) with callus was only observed from cotyledonary nodes on thidiazuron (TDZ) where hypocotyls produced only callus or callus with roots on different concentrations of plant growth regulators. Considering the shooting response, the cotyledonary nodes of BARI Dherosh-1 were cultured on various concentrations of TDZ for regeneration. The highest percentage (64.0) with maximum number (6.8) of shoots per explant were observed in 0.044 ?M TDZ in 8.4 days. The regenerated shoots were rooted on ½ strength MS, MS supplemented with 2.46 ?M IBA and 0.53 ?M NAA. The highest percentage (83.3) and minimum days (9.7) required for root induction were recorded in 2.46 ?M IBA. The rooted plantlets were transferred to soil and hardened in the plastic pots under green house conditions. The rooted shoots grew normally under natural conditions following acclimatization.Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 41(3): 521-528, September 2016

An efficient protocol for callus induction of Withania somnifera through in vitro culture of shoot apex and leaf explant was standardized. Of the various combinations of phytohormones evaluated, MS media supplemented with 6-furfuryl aminopurine (KIN) 0.5 mg/l + 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D) 2.0 mg/l was found to be bestfor mean callus induction (86%) in leaf explants after 6 weeks of culture and in case of shoot apex expant the best response and growth of callusing was observed on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D 1.0 mg/l + BAP 2.0 mg/l (77%).The response of callus growth increases gradually with the reductions in concentration of KIN in culturemedium of both the explants. This protocol might be used in further research for mass propagation of W. somnifera via indirect regeneration methods.

There is a great interest on the strategical plan in Egypt for the cultivation of a new crop used as source of natural sweeteners Stevia rebaudiana (Spanti) and (China-1) var. Stem nodal segments containing axillary buds were used as an explant and inoculated on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium containing 3% (w/v) sucrose, 0.8% (w/v) agar supplemented with various concentrations of flurprimidol (flur.), paclobutrazol (PBZ) and thidiazuron (TDZ). In Spanti var. maximum number of branches (6.52) and (6.4) were obtained in MS medium supplemented with 0.12 mg/l flur. and 0.2 mg/l TDZ, respectively with an average of 56.4 and 36.67 leaves per plantlet, having an average shoot length of 6.40 and 6.52 cm, respectively. The best in vitro root induction (100%) was achieved on MS medium with 0.16 mg/l flur. with an average of 10.00 roots per plantlet and root length of 4.82 cm (Spanti var.). Furthermore, in China-1 var. (MS) medium supplemented with 0.16mg/l flur. induced the best morphological characteristics. The rooted plantlets from explant planted on (MS) medium supplemented with 0.16 mg/l flur. were successfully established in soil and grown to maturity at the survival rate of 100% in the greenhouse in (Spanti) and (China-1) var. As a result of anatomy, all studied growth regulators significantly enhanced the anatomical characters of stevia varieties leaf and stem.flur.at 0.16 mg\l surpassed, for instance, midvein and lamina thickness, length and width of leaf vascular bundle as well as stem diameter, xylem and phloem thickness. Our data revealed that the numbers of protein bands in most of treatments are bigger than which in the control.

A method has been developed for plant regeneration from alginate-encapsulated nodal segments of Rhododendron dalhousiae. Shoot tips collected from in vitro proliferated shoots were used for synthetic seed production. For encapsulation, nodal segments were mixed with MS medium supplemented with 3% sodium alginate and incubated with calcium chloride (60 mM). The maximum frequency (69%) of conversion of encapsulated shoot tips into plantlets was achieved on MS medium containing 25 μM 2-isopentenyladenine (2iP) along with additive such as, 100 mg L-l polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), 100 mg L -l ascorbic acid, 10 mg L-l citric acid. The presence of 2iP (25 μM) with IAA (0.6 μM) improved re-generation. Amongst the two gelling agents used higher shoot proliferation as well as better growth were observed in cultures grown on Agar in comparison to Phytagel medium. Encapsulated nodal segments stored at 4°C for 25 days also showed successful conversion, followed by development into complete plantlets when returned to regeneration medium. Liquid medium was superior over solid medium for root formation and growth. IBA (1.0 μM) was more effective than other auxins for root induction. Plantlets with developed shoot and roots were hardened off to survive ex vitro conditions and successfully established in greenhouse. Possibility of direct sowing of synthetic seeds in the soil was also examined.

Dendrobium heterocarpum Lindl. is an endangered species which is currently used as ornamental pot plant for its beautiful flowers. An increase in collection for trade or any other purposes may lead to a dramatic decrease in the population of this species, thus becoming rare or endangered species in the near future. In this study, effects of plant growth regulators (BA, NAA, IAA, IBA, TDZ) and natural supplements (carrot, potato, and banana extracts) on protocorm like bodies (PLBs) formation; growth and development of shoot; and root regeneration of D. heterocarpum Lindl. as well as type of substrates on acclimatization and growth of seedlings were investigated. The results showed that PLBs formation was optimal on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L BA and 1.0 mg/L NAA (7.11 PLBs/explant; PLBs formation percentage of 68.9%) or MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L TDZ and 0.5 mg/L NAA (7.29 PLBs/explant; PLBs formation percentage of 75.53%). For subculture, MS medium supplemented 1.5 mg/L BA and 60 g/L banana extract (22.40 shoots/explant; shoot length of 2 cm) was the most suitable for shoot regeneration and growth. Additionally, root formation was the most suitable on ½ MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L NAA (4.4 roots/shoot; root length of 3.12 cm; root formation of 95.56%). Finally, the sufficiently rooted plantlets were transferred to greenhouse for hardening. After 60 days, coconut fiber substrate was the most suitable for seedling growth and development (with survival rate of 97.78%, root number of 5 and shoot length of 3.4 cm). The results of propagation in vitro Dendrobium heterocarpum Lindl. contribute to conservation and sustainable development as well as towards the rapid multiplication of seedlings for commercial commercialization of this wild orchid species.

Summary Introduction: The leaves of Lippia dulcis contain high amounts of hernandulcin. It is one thousand fold sweeter than sucrose, however, it hardly contains any calories. Objective: The aim of this research was to optimalisation of micropropagation and acclimatization of L dulcis Methods: The nodal explants were inoculated on phytohormone-free MS medium. After 6 weeks the explants were inoculated onto the MS medium with different plant growth regulators. Well-developed rooted plantlets were adapted to ex vitro conditions using hydrogel. Results: On the medium with BAP and NAA the highest number of shoots were produced. The higest average shoot length, number of the leaves and the leaf area were recorded on the medium with GA3. Adding IBA increased the number of roots. The addition of hydrogel enhanced the acclimatization efficiency. Conclusions: There was observed a positive, stimulating influence of growth regulators on mass propagation and increase in the number of leaves and the leaf area and influence of hydrogel on the development of plantlets during acclimatization.

The induction of tuberous roots of cassava in vitro is functional in MS medium containing 0.54 mM NAA, 0.44 mM BA and 3%-7% sucrose; meanwhile, the saccharide accumulation in the induced tuberous roots was increased with the sucrose content addition from 3%-7% in the inducible medium. Thus, the sucrose is an important factor for tuberous root induction in Cassava in vitro. The experimental results showed that the appropriate concentration of sucrose played a key role on the tuberous root induction in Cassava in vitro.

Micropropagation systems were developed for Calocephalus citreus Less. and C. lacteus Less., two threatened Tasmanian members of the Asteraceae. Disinfected cold-treated capitula were used to initiate regeneration. For C. citreus, initiation was achieved on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 0.1�mg�L–1 or 0.5�mg�L–1 indoleacetic acid (IAA) and 1�mg�L–1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) in 5�weeks, while for C. lacteus initiation was achieved on MS with α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) (0.1�mg�L–1) in 3�weeks and on MS without any plant growth regulator (PGR) in 6�weeks. Multiplication was achieved in both species on MS with various concentrations of IAA (0.01–0.5�mg�L–1) and BAP (0.1–1�mg�L–1). In C. citreus, shooting in all treatments did not differ significantly from PGR-free MS, while in C. lacteus PGR-free MS was one of the better treatments. Multiplication media also initiated root formation in C. lacteus, thereby facilitating immediate planting out. Optimal root induction in C. citreus was achieved by using MS with 1�g�L–1 activated charcoal. Clear morphological differences between in vitro and ex vitro plants of both species were observed. This phenotypic plasticity was more pronounced in C. lacteus than in C. citreus. As C. lacteus has a wider distribution than C. citreus and C. lacteus was more responsive during many stages of the micropropagation process, it may be possible to use the culture-induced phenotype to provide insights into the ecology of plant species.
