Faced with the demand for plants potted for their foliage, Anthurium maricense is seen as a viable option. However, most of the studies on obtaining micropropagated plantlets are for A. andraeanum, with nothing yet reported for A. maricense. The aim of this study therefore, was to evaluate the effect of four cytokinins in different concentrations, on the in vitro induction of shoots from nodal segments of A. maricense. The experimental design was completely randomised in a 4 x 4 factorial scheme, with four cytokinins (BAP, ZEA, CIN and 2iP) and 4 concentrations (0, 2.22, 4.44 and 6.66 μM), for a total of 16 treatments, with 6 replications of five test tubes, and using one nodal segment. Cultures were kept in a growth room at 25 ± 2°C, a photoperiod of 16 h and a light intensity of 30 μmolm-2 s-1 for 60 days. After this period, the number of shoots formed per node was evaluated. The addition of a cytokinin to the culture medium was determinant for the in vitro regeneration of shoots in A. maricense. The greatest estimated number of shoot formations in A. maricense were obtained in the culture media containing ZEA (3.87) and BAP (3.30), both at concentration of 6.66 μM.

An efficient in vitro plant regeneration protocol was developed for the medicinally potent plant species Phyllanthus amarus Schum. and Thonn. (Euphorbiaceae) using nodal segment as explant. Maximum multiplication of shoots (15.275±0.96) was achieved on Murashige and Skoog’s medium supplemented with BAP (0.5 mg/l) after 3-4 weeks of inoculation. The shoots were separated from cluster and subcultured for their elongation on the same medium. In vitro flowering was also observed on the elongated shoots after 3–4 weeks of sub culturing on the shoot elongation medium. In vitro rooting was obtained on half strength MS medium supplemented with IBA (0.5 mg/l).  Regenerated plants were successfully hardened and acclimatized, 80 % of plantlets survived well under natural conditions after transplantation.Key words: In vitro regeneration, multiple shoots, nodal segments, Phyllanthus amarusDOI: 10.3126/on.v7i1.2557Our Nature (2009) 7:110-115

The large ornamental potential of tropical flowers has stimulated the commercial cultivation of various species. Micropropagation is a viable alternate method of propagation, since it enables obtaining a higher number of seedlings with uniformity and pathogens free. The objective was to evaluate the in vitro multiplication rate of Etlingera elatior cv. Porcelana, using explants obtained from in vitro established seedling shoots, obtained from the 2nd subcultive. The explants were inoculated in MS culture medium containing different concentrations of BAP (0.0; 2.22; 4.44; 6.66; 8.88; and 11,10 μM), and the cultures maintained in a growth room with temperature 25.0 ± 2.0 °C under a photoperiod of 12 hours of light and light intensity of 30 μmol.m-2 s-1. The multiplication rate was monthly, according to the four subcultives, totaling 120 days. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four replications, analyzed in a factorial 4 x 6. The data were submitted to analysis of variance and regression. There were significant differences in subcultives and made for BAP concentrations used. For the first subcultive, the concentration of 2.22 μM of BAP afforded a rate of 4.06 sprouts per explant, already in the second and fourth subcultives, with the addition of cytokinin concentration was increased amount of sprouts reaching at a rate of 4.05 and 4.96 shoots/explant in the highest concentration of BAP. The results of the treatments evaluated indicate that the presence of BAP favored sprout emission. The concentrations of 2.22, 8.88 and 11.10 μM this cytokinin promoted the highest multiplication rates in the first, second and fourth subcultives, respectively.

Culture medium requirements for micropropagation of Isoplexis chalcantha was achieved for the first time after high degree of contamination and phenolic exudates were detected and solved. Cultures were established from axillary shoots using juvenile branches collected from this medicinal plant. Most satisfying results were obtained using a solidified and a modified MS medium (NO3- : NH4+ ratios) enriched with ascorbic acid or soluble PVP plus GA3, BAP and NAA. Explants (nodal segments) were used for in vitro shoots multiplication and best results were achieved with modified MS plus BAP and auxins. Vigorous shoots rooted without symptoms in the half-strength modified MS enriched with low concentration of IBA. Key words: Isoplexis chalcantha, axillary shoots, contamination, phenolic exudates, culture media, NO3- : NH4+ ratios D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v18i2.3395 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 18(2): 131-137, 2008 (December)

An efficient rapid in vitro regeneration protocol was described from nodal segment, leaf and petiole explants. MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l IAA was found best for the multiple shoot formation from nodal segments. In this combination 99% explants produced multiple shoots and the average number of shoots per explants was 20.1 ± 1.96. For petiole and leaf explants best response was observed on MS supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP, 1 mg/l IAA and 0.5 mg/l Kn. Petiole explants produced highest mean number of shoots/explant (22.9 ± 1.728) among the three explants when the explants were cultured on MS with 2.0 mg/l BAP, 1 mg/l IAA and 0.5 mg/l Kn. The highest frequency of root induction (100%) and mean number of roots/plantlets (11.75) were obtained on MS. The rooted plantlets were transferred for hardening following acclimatization and finally were successfully established in the field.Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 27(2): 207-216, 2017 (December)

Asymbiotic germination is considered an efficient and viable technique that can increase germination rates. The effect of type and concentration of disinfestants, and the exposure time to disinfestants may differ according to the plant species. Therefore, species-specific standardization of disinfestation agent and procedure is necessary to achieve optimal germination rates. The objective of this study was to determine a disinfestation methodology to increase in vitro germination rates and the early development of seedlings of Dendrobium nobile and Dendrobium phalaenopsis, using different times for seed disinfestation and different culture media. Seeds were disinfected by soaking in a 0.8% sodium hypochlorite solution for 5 or 15 min under aseptic conditions, after which seed suspensions were either washed with water or left unwashed. Next, they were seeded in culture flasks containing four different culture media (MS, ½MS, K, and VW). The flasks were then transferred to a growth room under controlled photoperiod and temperature, where they remained under an irradiance of 20 μmol m-2 s-1. Germination rates of the species were evaluated 45 days after placement in the culture flasks. A higher germination rate was observed when the seeds were triple washed, regardless of the culture medium or soaking time. Seed soaking disinfestation for 5 min is also recommended. MS and ½MS media were the most effective culture media in promoting in vitro germination of the species under study.

In vitro propagation increases the supply and commercialisation of products of interest. For this, optimising the growing conditions and the composition of the culture medium is crucial to benefit the full development of the plants. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the in vitro propagation of Aloysia triphylla on different culture media, with varying agar and sucrose concentrations. The experiment was conducted as a completely randomised design, 3×3×3 factorial scheme, with three culture media (MS, JADS and WPM), three sucrose concentrations (8, 10 and 12 g L-1) and three agar concentrations (15, 30 and 45 g L-1), with three replicates each and experimental units composed of one plant per replicate. After 25 days of cultivation, the fresh and dry mass of the plants, numbers of leaves, numbers of nodes, plant lengths, numbers of oxidised leaves, hyperhydricity and acclimatization percentages were evaluated. The WPM medium resulted in a reduced fresh mass, reflecting in the low hyperhydricity observed in the explants, and favoured the acclimatization of the plants. Thus, the WPM medium with sucrose (15 g L-1) and agar (12 g L-1) is recommended as the medium most suitable for the in vitro regeneration of Aloysia triphylla.

This article describes the effect of Gautheret, White, Heller and Murashige & Skoog mineral salts during in-vitro clonal micropropagation of new grape varieties. The optimal mineral compositions of the culture medium that support the in-vitro regeneration of isolated grape explants were identified. The grapes that were studied were the Bart and Augustine varieties. Primary grape explants were cultivated for 30 days in a non-transplanted culture. Increased regenerative activity was observed in the Murashige & Skoog and White media. Increased haemogenesis occurred and shoots regenerated. The addition of cytokinin 6-BAP to the medium for obtaining aseptic culture led to an increase in the frequency of shoot-bud production by 5 to 6 times, depending on the type of medium. Combining 6-BAP with the auxin NAA provided an additional increase in the frequency of shoot-bud production, but to a lesser extent. Adding growth regulators to the culture medium also reduced the frequency of explant necrosis. Keywords: grapes, mineral salts, culture medium, microclonal propagation, in-vitro, cytokinins, auxins

<p>O trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver um protocolo de micropropagação de segmentos nodais de anador (<em>Justicia pectoralis</em>). Para isso foram realizados dois experimentos. O delineamento estatístico utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com 15 repetições. Os segmentos de <em>J. pectoralis</em>, após desinfestados, foram cultivados em meio MS durante 30 dias. No primeiro experimento, esse material foi repicado em três meios de cultura (MS, WPM e B5) e após 77 dias foram avaliados comprimento de plântula, número de raízes, número de folhas e o número de segmentos nodais. Para o segundo experimento foram testadas duas citocininas (BAP e Cinetina) nas seguintes dosagens 0,0; 0,5; 5,0 e 20,0 mM. Aos 60 dias após a repicagem foram avaliadas as seguintes características: números de folhas, número de raízes e número de explantes por planta. O meio MS foi o que apresentou maior comprimento de plântula. As demais variáveis não diferiram entre os meios utilizados. Por isso o meio MS foi utilizado para o segundo experimento onde se verificou que a utilização de BAP proporcionou maior número de folhas e de explantes quando submetido à concentração de 20 mM. Dessa forma, para multiplicação de seg <em>Justicia pectoralis</em>, recomenda-se a utilização de meio MS com adição de 20mM de BAP.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>In vitro propagation of </em></strong><em>Justicia pectoralis<strong></strong></em></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>The study aimed to establish a micropropagation protocol for <em>Justicia pectoralis</em> nodal segments.

In the first experiment, the plant material was transferred to three culture media (MS, WPM and B5). The length of seedlings, number of roots, number of leaves, and number of nodal segments were evaluated at 77 days after transferring. In the second experiment two cytokinins (BAP and Kinetin) were tested in the following concentrations: 0.0; 0.5; 5.0 and 20.0 mM. At 60 days after transplanting the number of leaves, number of roots and number of explants per plant were evaluated. The MS medium induced the highest length of seedlings, but there was no effect for the other variables. Therefore, this medium was used for the second experiment, when it was found that BAP induced a larger number of leaves and explants when applied at 20 mM. Therefore, for multiplying <em>J. pectoralis</em> nodal segments we recommend the use of MS medium with 20 mM BAP.</p>

High cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) varieties of Cannabis sativa L., a species with medicinal properties, were regenerated in vitro. Explants of nodal segments including healthy axillary bud, after sterilization, were placed in Murashige-Skoog (MS) culture medium. The shoots formed after 30 days were subcultured in full- or half-strength MS medium supplemented with several concentrations of 6-benzyl-amino-purine (BA) or thidiazuron (TDZ). The highest average number and length of shoots was achieved when both full and half-strength MS media were supplemented with 4.0 μM BA. The presence of 4.0 μM TDZ showed also comparable results. BA and TDZ at concentrations of 4.0, 8.0 μM and 2.0, 4.0 μM respectively, displayed the maximum shooting frequency. The new shoots were transferred on the same media and were either self-rooted or after being enhanced with different concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) or α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Presence of 2.0 or 4.0 μM IBA or 4.0 μM NAA resulted to the optimum rooting rates. The maximum average number and length of roots per shoot was observed when the culture media was supplemented with 4.0 μM IBA or NAA. Approximately 92% of the plantlets were successfully established and acclimatized in field. The consistency of the chemical profile of the acclimatized in vitro propagated clones was assessed using quantitative 1H-NMR high throughput screening. In each variety, analysis of the micropropagated plant in comparison with the mother plant showed no statistically significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) in CBD+ cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and CBG+ cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) content respectively, thus indicating stability of their chemical profile.

Dendrobium anosmum is one of natural orchids in Indonesia. Optimization of medium composition for orchid propagation through in vitro culture is necessary to enhance propagule multiplication capabilities and quality. This study was aimed to study the influence of concentration of coconut water in culture medium on in vitro growth and development of D. anosmum orchid species and to determine the optimal coconut water concentration in culture media.  The experiment were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design with four treatments and eight replications. The treatments consisted of the addition of coconut water with concentrations: 0 ml•l -1 (control), 50 ml•l-1, 100 ml•l-1 and 150 ml•l-1. The results showed that addition of coconut water in culture medium gave different effect on shoot growth and multiplication of D. anosmum orchids.  Coconut water concentration of 100 ml•l-1 was the best concentration for growth and multiplication of D. anosmum orchids, based on both shoots and roots growth, plantlet height and wet weight.
