Abstract Ardisia crenata var. bicolor is an ornamental shrub, owing to its declined wild population, recalcitrant seeds and few high-quality cuttings, the main objective of this study was to optimize an in vitro propagation protocol by using tip shoot and nodal segment as explants from senescent plant. Explants were sterilized and cultured on Muraghige and Skoog medium contained 1.0 mg·L-1 benzylaminopurine and 0.05 mg·L-1 1-naphthaleneacetic acid for shoot initiation. For shoot proliferation, explants were cultured on MS medium with 1.0 mg·L-1 BAP, 0.1 mg·L-1 NAA, and 0.5 mg·L-1 kinetin, and the proliferation coefficient were 3.1 and 2.5. Rooting was achieved by two explants in half-strength MS medium containing 0.5 mg·L-1 indole-3-butyric acid + 0.1 mg·L-1 or 0.2 mg·L-1 NAA, and 0.5 g·L-1 activated charcoal. The highest rooting rate were 72.7% and 65.1% with the highest mean number of roots (4.2 and 2.8, respectively). After acclimatization, 83.3% and 81.2% of plants were survived in the greenhouse. The plant can be rejuvenated via in vitro propagation and provide a reference for supplying the planting materials quickly with an uniform genotype.

The optimum range of temperature for germination (96-100%) of Calamintha cretica, an herb with potential pharmaceutical and horticultural uses, was 15 to 20 °C, with 10 and 30 °C cardinal temperatures. Storage up to one year did not affect germination. The effect of zeatin (ZEA), 6-benzyladenine (BA), kinetin, and 6-γ-γ-(dimethylallylamino)-purine added in MS medium at concentrations from 0.0 to 8.0 mg L-1 was tested for shoot proliferation of both adult- and seedling-origin nodal explants at first- and sub-culture. Both explant types responded similarly during in vitro culture. At cytokinin concentrations up to 1 mg L-1 explant response was high (over 85%) but shoot number per explant was low (1.2-2.2). Increasing cytokinin from 2.0 to 8.0 mg L-1 resulted to an analogous decrease of explant response and shoot length, and an increase of shoot number, particularly when ZEA or BA was used (5.0-6.6 shoots per explant, 0.5-1.0 cm long) with simultaneous though increase of hyperhydricity (up to 50%). The addition of 0.1 mg L-1 naphthaleneacetic acid into the 8.0 mg L-1 BA medium almost eliminated hyperhydricity and increased explant response, while the increase of agar concentration from 8.0 to 12.0 g L-1 eliminated hyperhidricity and induced the highest shoot proliferation (93-95% explant response, 11.2-12.3 shoots per explant, 0.8-1.0 cm long). Microshoots and microshoot clusters rooted (88-96%) on half-strength MS medium either hormone free or supplemented with 1 to 4 mg L-1 indole-3-butyric acid. Plantlets survived at 80% to 100% after ex vitro acclimatization in peat: perlite 1:1 (v/v).

The present study describes a protocol for high frequency plant regeneration of Physalis minima. Shoots were induced by culturing nodal segments and shoot tips from 15 day old seedlings. About 29 and 32 shoots were found to be induced from nodal segment and shoot tip explants, respectively, cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP. When shoots were subcultured on the fresh medium with same component as mentioned above, the shoots were elongated. Shoots rooted well when they were excised individually and implanted on half-strength MS medium with 0.3 mg/l NAA, where 98% shoots rooted within 12-15 days. In vitro grown plantlets with strong root system were successfully established in normal room temperature for seven days before transplanting in pots where they were reared for three weeks through successive acclimatization. The regenerated plants were successfully transferred to the soil with 90% survival rate.

Eleven species of Australian Myrtaceae were evaluated for their ability to be cultured in vitro. Ten species produced axillary shoots (microcuttings) suitable for inducing roots in vitro. Microcuttings of 9 species successfully developed roots and were transferred to soil culture in a glasshouse, where plants grew normally. Nodal explants were grown on a modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with varying concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), to study shoot proliferation. Beaufortia heterophylla Turcz. explants did not respond to BAP, and all explants eventually died. The rate of shoot proliferation for the other species varied according to BAP concentration. Microcuttings of 10 species were grown on a modified half-strength MS medium supplemented with varying concentrations of the auxins indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), to induce root formation. An increase in root number and an associated decrease in root length was observed as the concentration of IBA and NAA was increased. Verticordia muelleriana E. Pritzel did not develop roots in any treatment. Chamelaucium uncinatum Schauer cv. Purple Pride, Kunzea parvifolia Schauer, K. pulchella (Lindl.) A. S.

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.

Terminalia arjuna is an important tree of the medicinal and sericulture industry, commonly known as Arjun. It’s bark is rich in secondary metabolites makes this plant highly valuable in medicine industry to treat cardiovascular disease. Overexploitation due to high demand in medicine, low seed germination, limitations of the conventional method of propagation push this plant towards being endangered. To conserve germplasm of such tree species and meet the requirement in medicinal industry, some non-conventional propagation method like micropropagation has been developed. The present work highlighted the effect of three genotypes (G-1, G-2, and G-3) on tissue culture of T. arjuna situated at Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. In vitro shoot proliferation was achieved on a modified MS medium enriched with BAP + additives. Among the tested genotypes, Genotype -1 showed maximum bud break response (100%) followed by G-3 (93.33 %) and G-2 (86.66%). Further multiplication of these shoots on modified MS medium containing BAP + NAA + additives gave 11.38±0.26 (G-1), 9.44±0.21 (G-2) and 10.22±0.32 (G-3) shoots. In vitro rooting was done by pulse treatment with IBA for 10 min prior to transfer on hormone free half strength MS medium containing 0.1% activated charcoal. Maximum in vitro rooting was obtained in G-1 (80%) followed by G-3 (71.11%) and G-2 (68.88%). In the present study, it was observed that optimum growth in all three genotypes required different doses of Plant Growth Regulator. Thus, by identifying and multiplying the best performing genotypes the gap between demand and supply of such medicinal plant can be fulfilled.

In vitro study was carried out in an important medicinal plant Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers belonging to the family: Menispermaceae. Vegetative parts such as stem, leaf and nodal explants were excised from an elite in vivo grown mature plant and thereafter cultured on Murashige-Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different hormonal concentrations for callus induction and organogenesis. Callus formation occurred from nodal segments, leaf and inter-node explants when planted on different combinations of hormones. Tinospora cordifolia showed response for in vitro shoot growth from the nodal segment. The best shoot growth was observed on MS medium supplemented with kinetin (1.5 mg/l). Similarly, the best result for root induction was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine (1.0 mg/l) and naphthaleneacetic acid (2.5 mg/l).

Abstract The present study reports an efficient in vitro propagation system for Turnera ulmifolia using nodal segments as explants. Turnera ulmifolia (Passifloraceae) is an important garden plant with multipotent medicinal values. Effective shoot proliferation was achieved on agar gelled MS medium (Murashige and Skoog, 1962). The maximum number of shoots (8.3 ± 0.57) per initial explant was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 8.88 mM of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.54 mM of α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The highest number of shoots (59.5 ± 2.10) proliferated on semi-solid MS medium (with agar) augmented with 2.22 mM of BAP and 2.32 mM of kinetin (Kin) along with 0.54 mM of NAA. Longer (4-5 cm) and healthy shoots were rooted (12.0 ± 0.10 roots per shoot) on half-strength MS medium fortified with 9.84 mM of indole-3 butyric acid (IBA). The in vitro regenerated plantlets were hardened in the greenhouse and transferred to the field. Significant developmental changes were observed in the foliar micromorphology of in vitro raised plantlets when these were transferred to the field. The stomatal index was gradually reduced (26.72 to 21.25) in the leaves from in vitro to field environments. But, vein-islets and veinlet terminations (13.4 and 7.6) were increased (39.7 and 18.4) respectively from in vitro to in vivo grown plants. Simple, unicellular, less frequent and underdeveloped trichomes were observed with the leaves of in vitro plants but fully developed trichomes recorded in the field transferred plants. The study could help in understanding the response and adaptation of tissue culture raised plantlets towards changed environmental conditions.

Clerodendrum Phlomidis

Abstract Clerodendrum phlomidis L. f. is an important medicinal plant of the Lamiaceae family, particularly its roots, which are used for various therapeutic purposes in a pulverized form. The objective of this study was to develop a standard protocol for axillary shoot proliferation and rooting of C. phlomidis for its propagation and conservation. Nodal explants were inoculated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium that was supplemented with one of six cytokinins: 6-benzyladenine, kinetin, thidiazuron, N6-(2-isopentenyl) adenine (2iP), trans-zeatin (Zea) and meta-topolin. Callus induction, which was prolific at all concentrations, formed at the base of nodal explants and hindered shoot multiplication and elongation. To avoid or reduce callus formation with the objective of increasing shoot formation, the same six cytokinins were combined with 4 μM 2,3,5-tri-iodobenzoic acid (TIBA) alone or in combination with 270 μM adenine sulphate (AdS). Nodal explants that were cultured on the medium supplemented with 9.12 μM Zea, 4 μM TIBA and 270 μM AdS produced significantly more and longer shoots than on medium without TIBA and AdS. Half-strength MS medium supplemented with 8.05 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid was the best medium for root formation. Most (75%) in vitro rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized under natural conditions.

Leaf explants of Nicotiana alata Link and Otto. were surface disinfested and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 2.66 μm N6-benzyladenine (BA) to promote shoot proliferation. After 5 weeks, proliferated shoots were removed and remaining callus saved. Callus was inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens encoding a senescence-specific promoter SAG12 cloned from Arabidopsis thaliana fused to a Agrobacterium tumefaciens gene encoding isopentenyl transferase which catalyzes cytokinin synthesis. Following inoculation, the callus was cocultivated for 6 days on BA medium. Selection for transgenics was done on BA medium plus 100 mg Kanamycin and 400 mg Ticarcillin (antibiotics) per liter. Proliferating shoots were rooted on MS medium containing antibiotics. Rooted cuttings were transplanted to soil, acclimated and flowered in the greenhouse. Transgenics were outcrossed to a commercial N. alata hybrid. Seed was germinated in vitro on half-strength MS medium plus antibiotics. Segregation of transgenics to nontransgenics was 1:1. Evaluation of leaf senescence on 5-month-old plants showed 2 to 14 times fewer senesced leaves on the transgenic than the nontransgenic plants.
