The internal morphology of embryos from immature and mature fruits of Heliconia bihai (L.) L. cv. Lobster Claw Two was examined. Embryos were inoculated into MS media (full MS and ½ MS) and GA3 (0, 2.5 and 5 mg L-1) with either sucrose or glucose. These plantlets were then replicated and transferred to MS medium (full MS or ½ MS) with 0 or 2.5 mg L-1 BAP and their multiplication was evaluated 30 and 45 days after inoculation. The genetic variability of the multiplied plants was estimated using isoenzyme analyses. The internal morphology of the mature embryos revealed their tissues to be in more advanced stages of differentiation than immature embryos. In the conversion phase, 85% of the inoculated embryos developed into plants in the ½ MS medium with sucrose, in contrast to only 41% of the embryos that were cultivated with glucose. In the multiplication phase, plants cultivated in ½ MS medium with 2.5 mg L-1 BAP demonstrated more buds. Isoenzyme analyses showed pattern changes in terms of the color intensity and the migration of some of the bands. These results may be associated with differences in the ages of the mother plants and of the plantlets obtained in vitro.

Phalsa[Grewia asiatica (L.) Tiliaceae] is an exotic fruit with good nutraceutical values. It cannot be grown in temperate climates with severe winters. Therefore, genetic improvement of phalsa for cold tolerance is essential. In order to apply biotechnology through genetic transformation to enhance cold hardiness, a reliable and rapid micropropagation system is needed. Thus, developing the most dependable micropropagation protocols for phalsa was the primary goal of this research. Phalsa explants prepared from different tissues, including leaf, nodes, internode, and zygotic embryos, were collected from mature trees growing in the specialty plants house, cultured on MS medium supplemented with various cytokinins alone or along with auxins and incubated under a 10-hour photoperiod at ambient temperature. In vitro propagation of phalsa tissues through both organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis was achieved. Of these, single shoots were developed from nodal explants as a result of budbreak on MS medium supplemented with BAP, kinetin, and zeatin separately. Somatic embryos were developed from the zygotic embryos when cultured on MS medium with 0.023 μm BA + 0.022 μm zeatin, for 2 weeks following a pulse treatment on NN medium supplemented with 5% sucrose, 0.11 μm BAP, 0.22 μm 2,4-D, and 29.20 μm L-glutamine. Somatic embryogenesis was also observed on modified basal medium supplemented with 13% sucrose, 58.40 μm L-glutamine, and 1.75 μm IAA. Enormous callusing was a major problem for in vitro studies with this species, irrespective of media composition. Further studies for multiple shoot development and higher frequency of SE induction are under way.

The behavior of six citrus rootstocks, Volkameriana, Citrumelo ‘Swingle’, Citrange ‘Carrizo’, Poncirus trifoliata ‘Serra’, Poncirus trifoliata ‘Rubidoux’ and Poncirus trifoliata ‘Flying Dragon’, in in vitro propagation was studied and compared for shoot proliferation and rooting. In addition, the genetic relationships among the rootstocks studied and other Citrus species, using the Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) molecular markers, were investigated. Nodal explants of three months old shoots were used in Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with N6-benzyladenine (BA) for shoot proliferation and with naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) for rooting. The rootstock Volkameriana showed a statistically significant higher number of shoots (1.81), shoot length (15.14 mm) and number of leaves per explant (5.81), while all three Poncirus trifoliata rootstocks showed the lowest numbers. The number of roots and root length per explant were evaluated at the end of the rooting phase. The rootstock ‘Swingle’ showed a higher number of roots per explant (4.2) followed by ‘Flying Dragon’ (3.93) and ‘Carrizo’ (3.23) rootstocks. The rootstocks ‘Swingle’ (140.8 mm), Volkameriana (148 mm) and ‘Flying Dragon’ (131.12 mm) had significantly higher root length per explant compared to ‘Carrizo’ (31 mm) and ‘Rubidoux’ (34.5 mm). The ISSR molecular marker technique used in the present study grouped successfully the different species, varieties and rootstocks studied, revealing their genetic variability. The genetic variability observed among the rootstocks ranged between 0.29 (Poncirus trifoliata ‘Serra’ and Citrumelo ‘Swingle’) and 0.60 (Volkameriana and Citrumelo ‘Swingle’). The response of the rootstocks studied in in vitro propagation however is not related to their genetic affinity.

Thymus Persicus

AbstractThymus persicus (Ronniger ex Rech. f.) Jalas is a valuable and endangered natural source of antitumor pentacyclic triterpenoids, i.e., betulinic acid, oleanolic acid and ursolic acid, which grows in northwest Iran. As the plant has a low propagation rate in nature, a suitable method for in vitro-propagation is needed. With the aim of identifying a suitable system for regenerating T. persicus via direct organogenesis, Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different plant growth regulators (PGRs) was tested. In vitro-grown shoot tips were exposed to the cytokinins 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), kinetin (KN), and thidiazuron (TDZ), alone or in combination with the auxins 1-naphthalene-acetic acid (NAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The highest shoot formation (7.1 ± 0.9) was obtained with a medium fortified with 8.9 μM BAP plus 2.7 μM NAA. Regenerated shoots were easily rooted on the different tested media, with the most abundant (16.6 ± 1.4) and strongest roots obtained on half-strength MS medium containing 2.5 μM IBA. The rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized (76.6%) in a greenhouse before transference to natural conditions. Homogeneity and phytochemical productivity of the in vitro regenerated plantlets were confirmed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) profiles and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively.

Factors such as slow growth, low rates of sexual and asexual reproduction, and viability of seeds among others limit the massive propagation of Agave americana L. by conventional methods. In this study, callus induction and shoot proliferation was determined in A. americana using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with dicholorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 6-benzyl adenine (BA). Meristematic tissue was used as the explants, and were placed on MS medium supplemented with 30.0 g·L−1 sucrose with 0.11, 0.18, or 0.45 μm 2,4-D and 11.0, 22.0, 38.2, 44.0, 58.7, or 73.3 μm BA. Treatments were implemented according to factorial experimental design 3 × 6. After 1 month, the number of explants with callus was determined, whereas the numbers of shoots per explant were monitored after 4, 16, 20, and 36 weeks. The maximum percent of explants with callus was obtained with 0.11 μm 2,4-D and 58.7 and 73.3 μm BA, whereas the maximum numbers of shoots per explant (71) were obtained with 0.11 μm 2,4-D and 73.3 μm BA. The effect of different concentrations of indolebutyric acid (IBA) in the rooting of shoots was evaluated. There were no significant effects of IBA on the number of roots, root length, and axillary roots. Plantlets were acclimatized in the glasshouse and they did not show any phenotypic alteration. This is a highly efficient protocol for the in vitro propagation of A. americana via indirect organogenesis.

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%
