Abstract Maintaining updated in vitro plant subcultures is essential for commercial micropropagation and tissue culture research. In unusual situations, the subcultures can be delay and the slow-growth in vitro storage technic could be applied to reduce the loss of plant material. The present study aimed to evaluate the slow-growth in vitro storage of banana plantlets (‘Prata Catarina’; group AAB) under different light spectra. Shoot cultures in MS medium without plant growth regulators were maintained under blue (B), red (R), red plus blue (R2B), and white (CW) light spectra (25°C ± 2°C; 50 µmol m -2 s -1 ) for up to 140 days. The plantlets maintained under the R, CW, and R2B spectra did not survive after 140 days of in vitro slow-growth storage. The plantlets maintained under the B spectrum survived after 140 days of in vitro slow-growth storage and showed little browning.

To evaluate an efficient protocol for the micropropagation of Tupistra albiflora K. Larsen, the effects of N6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) concentrations on multiple shoot and root induction were examined. In vitro shoots were used as the explant materials which were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) agar medium supplemented with 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg/L BA for 4 weeks to induce multiple shoots. It was found that the MS medium containing 3 mg/L BA induced 100 % shoot formation with the highest number of 3.2 shoots per explant (2.4-fold significantly higher than the control). For root induction, in vitro shoots were cultured on MS agar medium supplemented with 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg/L NAA for 8 weeks. The results showed that the MS medium containing 1 mg/L NAA induced 100 % root formation with the highest number of 6.6 roots per explant (1.8-fold significantly higher than the control).

One of the problem of Eurycoma longifolia Jack propagation was low germination percentage due to recalcitrant seeds and slow growth of seedling from cutting propagation. To overcome this problem is required propagation of Eurycoma longifolia via in vitro culture. The objective of this research was to know the effect of Auxin (2,4-D and NAA) and Cytokines (BAP and Kinetin)  on Eurycoma longifolia callus induction via leaf and petiole explants. In this study, we used plant growth regulator of 2,4 D, NAA, BAP and Kinetin in several levels.  The observed variables were appearing callus time, callus color and callus texture. The results of this study showed that MS medium supplemented with 1 ppm NAA+ 1 ppm BAP was able to induce callus formation in leaf explant for 6 months after culture. While MS medium supplemented with 1 ppm 2,4-D, 1 ppm BAP, combination of 2,4-D and Kinetin and combination of 2,4-D and BAP can induce callus formation from petiole. All the callus formation has yellow color and yellow brown color. The petiole explant that is grown in MS medium supplemented with 1 ppm BAP induced of callus in short time (18 days after culture).

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of light spectra, additional UV-A, and different growth regulators on the in vitro germination of Senecio cineraria DC. Seeds were surface-sterilized and inoculated in MS medium to evaluate the following light spectra: white, white plus UV-A, blue, green, red or darkness. The maximum germinability was obtained using MS0 medium under white light (30%) and MS + 0.3 mg L-1 GA3 in the absence of light (30.5%). S. cineraria seeds were indifferent to light. Blue and green lights inhibited germination. Different concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA3) (0.1; 0.4; 0.6; 0.8; 1.0 and 2.0 mg L-1) and indole-3-acetic acid IAA (0.1; 0.3 and 1.0 mg L-1) were evaluated under white light and darkness. No concentration of GA3 enhanced seed germination percentage under white light. However, when the seeds were maintained in darkness, GA3 improved germination responses in all tested concentrations, except at 1.0 mg L-1. Under white light, these concentrations also increased the germination time and reduced germination rate. Germination rate, under light or darkness, was lower using IAA compared with GA3.

In vitro cold storage of Rubus germplasm was investigated using several environmental conditons and types of storage containers. Shoot cultures of Rubus species and cultivars were grown in either tissue culture bags or 20 × 150 mm glass tubes and compared for plant condition and survival under various storage conditions. Cultures stored at 10 C in the dark were in poor condition after 6 months. Cultures kept at 4 C were in much better condition and had higher survival rates after 18 months when stored with a 12 h daylength rather than total darkness. Overall there were no differences in survival or condition between cultures in tubes and bags. Contamination rates were 15% in tubes and 0% in bags. Plants in tissue culture bags could be stored for 9 months at 25 C with 16 h light when the nitrogen level of the MS medium was reduced to 25% and the medium volume was increased from 10 to 20 ml per bag. Genotype differences were apparent under all conditions tested. The best storage condition for Rubus germplasm was 4 C with 12 h light. Plastic tissue culture bags were preferred over tubes due to lower contamination rates.

This report describes an efficient in vitro regeneration protocol for H. patens (firebush), a heat-tolerant ornamental shrub native to tropical and subtropical America. Shoot cultures were initially established using shoot tips placed on MS-revised medium containing 2.3 μM 2,4-D, 2.3 μM kinetin, and 0.25% polyvinylpyrrolidone. Other types of explants (nodal and internodal segments, leaf pieces, floral buds) did not regenerate shoots when placed on this medium. Two-month-old plantlets derived from the shoot tips were subcultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 μM thidiazuron (TDZ), and within 3 to 4 weeks, some callus was produced at the root–shoot junction. When this callus, with a small portion of the root and shoots, was placed on MS medium with 0.05 μM TDZ and 0.01 μM ABA, prolific shoot formation occurred within 3 to 4 weeks followed by root formation. By regular subculturing every 5 to 6 weeks, hundreds of plantlets have been obtained over the past 3 years with no apparent decline in regeneration potential. Addition of activated charcoal (0.5%) to the culture medium has greatly improved growth of the plantlets.

Portulaca quadrifida (Portulacaceae) is an annual succulent herb having medicinal value and is consumed as a vegetable or salads in India. In the present study, leaf explants were inoculated on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium fortified with sucrose (3%) and combinations of N6-benzyladenine (6-BA) and kinetin (KIN) individually and in combination with 1-naphtalene acetic acid (NAA). Rapid regeneration was observed in medium fortified with combinations of 6-BA (8 µM) and NAA (1 µM) which formed 19.40 ± 0.64 shoots with 100% response. Variation in sucrose concentrations (4-6%) was tried but it failed to increase the shoot number. When the optimized medium was fortified with different carbon sources viz. dextrose, glucose and maltose, they could not evoked better response and sucrose proved to be more effective for regeneration. Rooting of in vitro shoots was achieved in ½MS + sucrose (1%) + indole-3-butyric acid (IBA, 2 µM).

Abstract An efficient encapsulation and germplasm conservation protocol were developed for Nyctanthes arbor-tristis L. In this study the gel matrix containing three percent sodium alginate (SA) and 100 mM calcium chloride (CaCl2. 2H2O) was found best for the formation of encapsulated seeds from node explant of this economically valuable species. The viability of encapsulated seeds and shoot sprouting potential was optimized. Encapsulated seeds stored at 4ºC and 24 ºC maintained its viability up to 90 days and showed sprouting potential 42.89±6.04 and 33.53±7.15 percent respectively. Node explant maintain under slow growth condition up to 180 days on one-eighth (1/8th) strength MS medium supplemented with 0.5 percent sucrose found suitable to maintain high span viability percent (40.28±2.04) with average number of shoots/ node (1.61±0.28) and shoots length (1.12±0.32 cm) respectively. One-eighth (1/8th) strength MS medium supplemented with 0.5 percent sucrose and enriched with 0.5 mg/l abscisic acid (ABA) prolonged the viability up to 40.36±1.01 percent of explant. The best rooting response was achieved on half (½) strength MS medium enriched with 4 mg/l indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The rooted plant shows 65 percent survivability in open field condition. The true-to-type clonal fidelity assessment of tissue culture recovered acclimated plants with start codon targeted (SCoT) primer profile shows same banding mobility patterns as with source parent mother plant. The maximum banding profile is monomorphic and consistent. Hence on this basis it confirmed the true-to-type clonal stability among them. The protocols display the novel method for conservation of this species under in-vitro condition and facilitate easy exchange of plant germplasm.

Morphological characteristics of flowers of long term regenerated chrysanthemum, cv. "White Spider", after ten years of micropropagation are investigated. Shoot cultures are established and maintained more than ten years by stem segment culture on MS medium supplemented with BAP and NAA (1.0, 0.1 mgL-1, respectively). Rooting of shoots (100 %) has done on MS medium without hormones and it was very successful after ten years, as well as, after two or eight years of micropropagation. Acclimation of rooted chrysanthemum plantlets at greenhouse conditions was excellent and after appropriate photoperiod "in vitro" plants flowered 90.3 % and have the same flower color, shape and size as mother plants. Flower color changes of "in vitro" plants are observed during another flowering cycle one year after acclimatization. Observed variations of chrysanthemum flowers could be attributed to epigenetic factors.
