An efficient in vitro method for multiple shoot bud induction and regeneration has been developed in Artemisia annua L. using leaf and stem explants in various concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators to evaluate the frequency of regeneration. The sources of explants as well as plant growth regulators in the medium were found to influence the multiple shoot induction. The result shows that the stem segment cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/l thidiazuron (TDZ) gave a perfect shoot formation (100%) and good shoot multiplication (57 shoots/explant) after 2 weeks of culture. Healthy regenerated shoots were elongated and rooted in MS medium without hormones. The artemisinin content in plants regenerated from stem explants using 0.1 mg/l TDZ was (3.36 ± 0.36) μg/mg dry weight and two-fold higher than that of in vitro grown plants of the same age [(1.73 ± 0.23) μg/mg DW]. This system exhibited a potential for a rapid propagation of shoots from the stem explant and makes it possible to develop a clonal propagation of A. annua.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) var. Bentong is a monocotyledon plant that belongs to the Zingiberaceae family. Bentong ginger is the most popular cultivar of ginger in Malaysia, which is conventionally propagated by its rhizome. As its rhizomes are the economic part of the plant, the allocation of a large amount of rhizomes as planting materials increases agricultural input cost. Simultaneously, the rhizomes’ availability as planting materials is restricted due to the high demand for fresh rhizomes in the market. Moreover, ginger propagation using its rhizome is accompanied by several types of soil-borne diseases. Plant tissue culture techniques have been applied to produce disease-free planting materials of ginger to overcome these problems. Hence, the in vitro-induced microrhizomes are considered as alternative disease-free planting materials for ginger cultivation. On the other hand, Bentong ginger has not been studied for its microrhizome induction. Therefore, this study was conducted to optimize sucrose and plant growth regulators (PGRs) for its microrhizome induction. Microrhizomes were successfully induced in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with a high sucrose concentration (>45 g L−1). In addition, zeatin at 5–10 µM was found more effective for microrhizome induction than 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) at a similar concentration. The addition of 7.5 µM 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) further enhanced microrhizome formation and reduced sucrose’s required dose that needs to be supplied for efficient microrhizome formation. MS medium supplemented with 60 g L−1 sucrose, 10 µM zeatin and 7.5 µM NAA was the optimum combination for the microrhizome induction of Bentong ginger. The in vitro-induced microrhizomes sprouted indoors in moist sand and all the sprouted microrhizomes were successfully established in field conditions. In conclusion, in vitro microrhizomes can be used as disease-free planting materials for the commercial cultivation of Bentong ginger.

Marumi kumquat (Fortunella Japonica) is culture for its valuable nutritional value and medicinal importance in many regions of the world. The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of two types of media enriched with different concentrations of fructose and different plant growth regulators and different fructose concentration on in vitro propagation of Fortunella Japonica. The findings showed that the most effective treatment for explant surface sterilization was by using 0.1% HgCl2 for ten minutes which give best results for production contamination-free explants at the initiation cultures. At multiplication stage, WPM medium gave better results at all tested BA levels as compared with MS medium. No significant differences were showed by using BA alone or in combination with GA3 in the measured parameters. It has been observed that WPM medium supplemented with 0.5mgl-1 BA with the presence of 30mgl-1 fructose was able to give the highest shoot length (1.56cm) with maximum shoots number/explant 9.0 and highest leaves number/explant (21.0). The proliferated shoots were exposed to full strength MS medium salts supplemented with 2mgl-1 NAA which showed the highest ratio of rooting. In vitro rooted plantlets were gradually acclimatized and transferred to open air conditions, which recorded a high survive rate reached to 92%

Conditions for in vitro multiplication and flowering of Drosera spatulata plants were established. Shoot tips of greenhouse-grown plants were sterilized with 1% or 0.5% sodium hypochlorite. The influence of different media concentrations, hormone supplementation, and pH was investigated. Full MS medium without growth regulators was the best for regeneration and multiplication of plants. Regenerated shoots rooted spontaneously on medium without growth regulators and without transfer to additional medium. In 3 months, 100 to 200 plants were generated per explant. Flowering was induced on media supplemented with plant growth regulators. Plants were acclimatized on sterile peat.

Pueraria candollei Wall. ex Benth. var. mirifica (Airy Shaw & Suvat.) Niyomdham was investigated for callus induction using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing different plant growth regulators. After 8 weeks of culture, 66 - 100% of leaf or stem explants formed calli. Calli from stem explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l thidiazuron (TDZ) gave the maximum of shoot induction (16%) and the highest level of total isoflavonoids [(50.39 ± 7.06) mg/g dry wt], which was 7-fold higher than that of the native tuber [(7.04 ± 0.29) mg/g dry wt]. These results suggest that addition of TDZ to the culture medium markedly enhances the production of isoflavonoids in calli induced from stem explants of P. candollei var. mirifica.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to develop optimum composition of plant growth regulators in media for the propagation and rooting of shoots of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) in in vitro cultures. Single-node shoot fragments obtained from plants propagated on MS medium were placed onto media supplemented with: BAP, 2iP and KIN at concentrations: 0.5, 1, 2 and 5 mg∙dm-3, whereas at the rooting stage with addition of: IAA, IBA and NAA at concentrations 1, 2, 4 and 8 mg∙dm-3. The highest number of shoots and leaves was reported for plants propagated on MS medium enriched with 0.5 mg∙dm-3 BAP. The greatest number of the longest roots was developed by stevia on the MS medium enriched with 1 mg∙dm-3 IAA.

This research was conducted in order to study the effect of explant type and some plant growth regulators on culture initiation of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni in vitro. The experiments included surface sterilization and test two types of explants (shoot tips and stem nodes) and the impact of KIN and BA and IAA and IBA in the cultures initiation. Results revealed the efficiency of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) for disinfestation of explant at 0.050% concentration giving less contamination for shoot tips and stem nods (10% and 20% respectively). Results showed that shoot tips inoculated in MS medium plus KIN at 0.3 mg. L-1 was significantly increase the number of regenerated shoots as it produced 4.2 shoots per explant while medium without cytokinin (control) produced less number of shoots reached 1.4 shoots per explant. KIN treatment reduced shoots length as control treatment produced the highest length (6.74 cm).  The interaction between the explant type and BA concentration was significantly increase the number of regenerated shoots as shoot tips produced 3.6 shoots per explant in MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg. L-1. BA treatment reduced shoots length as control treatment produced the highest length (6.74 cm). No positive effect was gain when auxins (IBA and IAA) were added in combination with cytokinin in culture medium. The above results can be adopted to established stevia in vitro culture successfully.

In order to have an efficient protocol and to be able to produce inulin in the future, experimental conditions were established to obtain artificial cultures of Dahlia sp. plant lines A1, A2, P1, P2 and ENN to obtain shoots, calli, cell and root suspension cultures with different combinations of plant growth regulators and environmental conditions. The explants used were axillary buds. With these, shoots and whole plants were obtained in all lines. The P1 line was the fastest, needed 7 days of incubation to respond to MS medium without plant growth regulators. Calli were obtained with stem explants after 10 days with 0.5 mg/L benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 1 mg / L indoleacetic acid (IAA). Calli suspension cultures were achieved with stirring at 88 rpm and the same plant growth regulators combinations that were obtained for calli formation. Tuberization induction and root formation were with 5 mg/L BAP, 0.5 mg/L IAA, 80 g/L sucrose and 0.2 mg/L BAP plus 60 g/L sucrose, respectively. The response time and the quality of buds, calli and roots obtained from Dalhia sp. showed favorable experimental conditions to initiate the experiments for the stimulation of inulin production.
