ABSTRACT Physalis peruviana L. (Solanaceae) is an herbaceous fruit-bearing species that has been gaining market acceptance due to its nutritional and medicinal potential. The main limitations to its cultivation are the short reproductive cycle, the susceptibility of the fruits to pests and the lack of information about the crop management. Hence, studies are necessary to develop strategies for its propagation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and explants on the morphogenetic potential of P. peruviana, as well as to establish a protocol for the micropropagation of the species via direct organogenesis. To evaluate the morphogenesis, cotyledonary node, cotyledon, leaf, epicotyl, hypocotyl and root explants were inoculated in Murashige & Skoog culture medium with half the normal concentration of salts and supplemented with cytokinin BAP (0.00 µM, 2.22 µM, 4.44 µM, 6.66 µM or 8.88 µM), plus 30 g L-1 of sucrose and 7 g L-1 of agar. Aiming at a direct production of shoots, the cotyledonary node explant was submitted to 0.00 µM, 2.22 µM, 4.44 µM, 6.66 µM, 8.88 µM, 13.32 µM, 17.76 µM or 22.20 µM of BAP. The obtained shoots were tested regarding their rooting potential in media with and without the addition of activated charcoal and then were transferred for acclimatation. The cotyledonary node and leaf explants were the most efficient sources for the regeneration of shoots via direct and indirect organogenesis, respectively. The most significant results for direct shoot production were obtained with 12.50 µM of BAP. These shoots were successfully rooted in vitro in medium without activated charcoal, and the microplants acclimated in vegetable earth attained 100 % of survival after 90 days of acclimatation.

ABSTRACT Physalis ixocarpa Brot. ex Horm. is considered the most economically important species of the genus. Tissue culture is pointed out as a strategy for its propagation, but researches indicate that in vitro responses are genotype-dependent. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro morphogenesis of the P. ixocarpa green and purple varieties, in view of the massive propagation of the species. The morphogenic capacity of the explants cotyledonary node, hypocotyl and cotyledon was evaluated in Murashige & Skoog medium supplemented with benzylaminopurine - BAP (0.00, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 or 10.0 μM) and naphthaleneacetic acid - NAA (0.00 or 2.5 μM), using a completely randomized experimental design, in a 3 x 5 x 2 factorial scheme, with 30 treatments for each variety. The number of shoots per direct and indirect organogenesis and the percentage of explants with callus were analyzed. The in vitro morphogenetic expression of P. ixocarpa is influenced by the type of explant and by the plant regulators BAP and NAA. The cotyledonary node explant is efficient for the production of shoots via direct organogenesis in the two varieties studied.

In this present work, an in-vitro regeneration protocol for Crescentia alata (C. alata) was developed using various explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium augmented with different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs) for direct and indirect regeneration. The direct organogenesis was established from nodes and internodes on MS medium supplemented with cytokinins and auxins. The indirect organogenesis via callus phase was obtained from leaf, nodes and internodes on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of PGRs. The high frequency shoot organogenesis were achieved directly from nodal explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/L BAP+0.5 mg/L KIN +1.0 mg/L NAA. Indirect organogenesis callogenic frequency was optimized at the concentration of MS medium containing 1.0 mg/L BAP + 5.0 mg/L IAA. The callus was obtained from all the explants were used, among these explants internodal explants gave best result on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of cytokinins and auxins for indirect organogenesis experiment. Indirect organogenesis the highest number of shoot regeneration was obtained in MS Basal Medium with 4.0 mg/L BAP + 0.5 mg/L KIN + 2.0 mg/L NAA from internodal explants. For root formation the regenerative shoots which were sub cultured on MS medium containing different ratios of auxins. The rooted plantlets were transferred successfully to the pots containing sterilized soil and were successfully hardened at greenhouse condition for 20 days then exposed to the natural environment. This is the first successful micropropagation report of an efficient and rapid in-vitro clonal propagation protocol for C. alata by direct and indirect shoot organogenesis through various explants, which can be employed for conservation of this important medicinal tree species as well as the utilization of an biologically important active biomolecules. This protocol can be very useful to obtain plants from various explants, without the requirement of meristematic regions, enabling the obtainment of a higher number of plants in short period.

Syngonanthus mucugensis Giul. subsp. mucugensis is an herbaceous plant with significant economic value in the ornamental dry flower business. The restricted occurrence of the municipality Mucugê-BA, Brazil, exclusively associated with extractive exploitation, has considered this species as endangered. The objective of this work was to evaluate the organogenic potential of three different types of S. mucugensis subsp. mucugensis explants to promote the development of an alternative method to the propagation of the genetic resources of this important plant. The morphogenetic capacities of the leaf, stem and root this species was tested using Murashige and Skoog culture medium at half salt concentration and different concentrations of growth of regulators benzylaminopurine - BAP (0.00; 2.22 and 4.44 µM), and naphthalene acetic acid - NAA (0.00; 1.34 and 2.68 µM). The morphoanatomic events that lead to formation of shoots were described. Stems proved to be the best source of explants, showing 58.75% regeneration of shoot by direct organogenesis in the absence of growth regulators, and 32.18 and 47.55% of shoot regeneration by indirect organogenesis in the presence of 2.22 and 4.44 µM BAP, respectively. As for leaves, there was callus formation, but without regenerating shoots. Morphogenesis was not observed when roots were used as explants. The histological analyses showed that shoot regeneration in S. mucugensis subsp. mucugensis occurred both indirectly, by unorganized tissue differentiation, and directly through returning to merismatic activity in differentiated mature cells and preexisting bud proliferation.

Passiflora miniata is a wild species native to the Southern Amazon, with ornamental potential due to the beauty of its flowers of intense red coloration. Reports in the literature about the species are still insipid. The aim of the present study was to induce the regeneration of P. miniata by the de novo organogenesis from mature zygotic embryos. The zygotic embryos were isolated and cultivated into the MS medium with the addition of 6-Benzyladenine (BA), Thidiazuron (TDZ) and Kinetin (KIN) growth regulators. The de novo regeneration from the zygotic embryos occurred directly and indirectly. A percentage of 80% of the explants cultivated in the presence of BA had direct organogenesis and 20% by the indirect way, with TDZ 60% were regenerated by the direct and 40% by the indirect way. Regarding the treatments with KIN, 58% of the explants had regeneration by direct and 42% by the indirect organogenesis. The development of shoot primordia initiated with the formation of organogenic structures that later differentiated into multi-shoots. The highest mean number of shoots (40.0 shoots per explants) was obtained on 0.75 mg L-1BA. Conversely, using 0.50 mg L-1 TDZ or KIN, the highest number of shoots were 7.2 and 3.6, respectively.

The objective of this work was to study the histological events related to the regeneration process of a medicinal plant, Nymphoides cristatum (Roxb). Leaf explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mgl-1 of 6-benzyl amino purine (BAP). About 90% of explants gave rise to shoots after 15 days of incubation. The histological studies showed that the regeneration originated directly from parenchymatous cells and direct organogenesis after 20 days of culture could be observed. Buds and roots were found completely differentiated after 40 days of culture and number of shoots per explants was 30. Micorshoots were rooted in hormone - free medium and the plants obtained grew in artificial pond under green house conditions.

AbstractAn efficient protocol of plant regeneration through direct and indirect organogenesis in Swertia chirayita was developed. Explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 2,4-D (0.5 mg L−1) with combination of Kinetin (0.5 mg L−1) showed the highest frequency (84%) of callusing and 1.0mg L−1 6-benzyladenine (BA) in combination with (100 mg L−1) Adenine sulphate (Ads) + (0.1 mg L−1) Indole acetic acid (IAA) was excellent for maximum adventitious shoot (12.69 ± 1.30) formation in four week of culture. A maximum number of (7.14 ± 0.99) shoots were developed per leaf explants through direct organogenesis. The highest frequency of rooting (11.46 ± 1.56) was observed on MS medium augmented with IAA (1.0 mg L−1). Well-rooted shoots transferred to plastic pots containing a soilrite: sand mix and then moved to the greenhouse for further growth and development. Four major secondary metabolites were analyzed and quantified using high performance liquid chromatography. Amount of secondary metabolites was found significantly higher, in in vitro plantlets compared to in vivo plantlets and callus raised from S. chirayita. Higher heavy metal accumulation in in vitro as compared to in vivo plantlets correlates higher secondary metabolite production supporting that they play regulatory role in influencing the plant secondary metabolism.

We investigated the effects of various concentrations of diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6) on the regeneration and growth of adventitious buds inin vitropurple coneflower cultures. Among the 3 types of explants tested, leaf explants required higher concentrations of DA-6 than petiole and root explants in order to obtain high regeneration rates, while root explants required the lowest concentration of DA-6. Additionally, explants with higher ploidy levels were more sensitive to the addition of DA-6, while explants with lower ploidy levels required higher concentrations of DA-6 to achieve its maximal regeneration rate. Interestingly, the application of a concentration that was conducive to the regeneration of explants with lower ploidy levels was inhibitory to the regeneration of explants with higher ploidy levels. Moreover, during the growth of regenerated buds, DA-6 application significantly improved plant height and weight, root weight, root thickness, root number, primary root length, total root length, and root/top ratio. Differences in the responses of explants to supplementation with DA-6 were also observed among explants with different ploidy levels, with buds having lower ploidy levels responding to lower concentrations of DA-6. Taken together, the results of the present experiments showed that proper application of DA-6 could increasein vitroculture efficiency in purple coneflower.

Our experiments have confirmed the considerable disposition of leaf explants of <em>Actinidia chinensis</em> Planch. for induction and intensive proliferation of callus cultures, as well as, a possibility to regulate morhogenesis in in vitro conditions. Under specific culture conditions the morphogenic potential of callus cells of <em>Actinidia chinensis</em> was manifested both in organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis. Organogenesis was represented by induction of adventitious buds and regeneration shoots on the modified MS culture medium (Murashige and Skoog 1962) with BAP in combination with GA<sub>3</sub> (each 1.0 mg. l<sup>-1</sup>). Rooting of shoots was successful on modified MS medium containing IBA (0.5-1.0 mg. l<sup>-1</sup>). Histological studies of callus tissues revealed their structural heterogeneity. Morphogenic processes in the callus were characterized by the appearance of meristematic zones and vascular elements. The formation of apical meristem, leaf primordia and finally shoot development proved de novo regeneration in callus culture. The obtained results demonstrate a possibility of plant regeneration through indirect organogenesis, which can be used for propagation of<em> Actinidia chinensis</em> Planch.
