Cultured leaf explants obtained from 36 accessions of the wild tomato species, Lycopersicon hirsutum Humb. and Bonpl., were evaluated for morphogenic capacity in response to three cytokinins (zeatin, BA, and kinetin) in combination with IAA. Media containing 0.1 μm IAA plus 4.6 or 9.2 μm zeatin were optimal for shoot induction. Cotyledon explants were superior to true leaf explants for obtaining shoot formation. Morphogenic responses of L. hirsutum f. typicum and L. hirsutum f. glabratum were clearly accession-dependent and ranged from exceptional with numerous shoots produced to recalcitrant with no shoots produced. The high morphogenetic capacity of leaf explants from L. hirsutum f. typicum accession 128644 was also evident in protoplast-derived calli that readily regenerated shoots. Chemical names used (E)-2-methyl-4-(1H-purin-6-ylamino)-2-buten-1-ol (zeatin), N-(phenylmethyl) -1H-purin-6-amine (BA), N- (2-furanylmethyl) -1H- purin-6-amine (kinetin), 1H- indole-3-acetic acid (IAA).

Cultured leaf explants obtained from 36 accessions of the wild tomato Lycopersicon hirsutum were evaluated for morphogenic capacity in response to 3 cytokinins [zeatin, benzylamino purine (BA) and kinetin] in combination with indoleacetic acid (IAA). Morphogenic responses within this wild species were accession-dependent, Cotyledon tissue, in comparison to true leaf explants, were superior for callus and shoot formation. Optimal callus induction medium varied with accession, but most often contained 13.3 μM BA plus 1.7 μM IAA. Media containing 4.6 or 9.2 μM zeatin plus 0.1 μM iaa were optimal shoot induction media. Explants of L. hirsutum f. typicum accessions 126445, 127826, 128644, and 390663 and L. hirsutum f. glabratum accessions 365904, 365905, and 365906 exhibited the highest levels of shoot formation.

Explants were obtained from leaves of three strains of tomato and grown on a modified Murashige and Skoog's medium with various combinations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and kinetin. Callus proliferation began by 8–10 days. Root initiation was very common, particularly at 2 mg/liter IAA and 2 mg/liter kinetin. Shoot formation occurred within 30 days but only at a specific combination of concentrations of the two growth hormones (4 mg/liter IAA + 4 mg/liter kinetin). Most shoots became plantlets by 10 days after transfer to basal Murashige and Skoog's medium. Shoot-forming potential was neither correlated with callus-forming potential nor with vigor of strain.

The experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of growth regulators on leaf explant of Gerbera for callus induction. Various kinds of plant growth regulators such as 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP), α-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D), Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were used to initiate cultures. These were added to Murashige and Skoog medium in different combinations and concentrations. Leaf explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with BAP+ 2, 4-D+ IAA in T4 treatment & BAP+ 2,4-D in T5 treatment showed the best results for callus induction. On the other hand callus was induced early in the combination of BA+ 2,4-D + IAA hormone in T5, T9 & T8 treatment respectively. The rate of callus induction was very low in BA + NAA combinations but it was much earlier.

Concentrations of free and conjugated abscisic acid (AbA), phaseic acid (PA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were measured in leaves of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes grown in the field. Hormone levels were compared and related to grain yield stability under drought, expressed as the percentage reduction in grain yield (percent RGY) of drought-stressed compared to irrigated plants. Although hormone concentrations were similar in irrigated plants, there was considerable genotypic variation in drought-stressed plants. In a four genotype comparison during the panicle initiation stage, mean leaf AbA concentrations in drought-stressed plants were positively related to percent RGY. Furthermore, the slopes of regression lines of AbA on leaf water potential in stressed genotypes were also positively related to percent RGY. In contrast, PA and total AbA metabolite concentrations were negatively related to percent RGY, implying a higher efficiency of conversion of AbA to its metabolites in drought resistant than in drought-susceptible genotypes. There was genotypic variation in free and conjugated IAA concentration in leaves of stressed plants, but these concentrations were not directly related to percent RGY. Nevertheless, high levels of free and conjugated IAA were found at some periods in leaves of drought-susceptible genotypes. The positive relationship between free AbA concentration and percent RGY was confirmed in a nine genotype comparison. Mean leaf AbA concentrations during flowering and early grain filling in drought-stressed plants were found to be a significantly correlated (r = 0.86**) with percent RGY. It is concluded that it is possible to evaluate genotype drought resistance to a given stress treatment in sorghum by examination of AbA, PA and IAA concentations in leaves. The potential of the method as a tool for plant breeders is discussed.Key words: Sorghum bicolor, drought stress, abscisic acid, phaseic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, yield

The procedure for Heuchera villosa ‘Caramel’ propagation was investigated, which involves shoot regeneration, rooting of regenerated shoots, and acclimation of regenerated plantlets. Petioles, as explants, were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1-naphthylacetic acid (NAA), benzylaminopurine (BA), thidiazuron (TDZ) and callus formed on all media. Shoots were observed to proliferate from callus on media with BA and NAA, whereas no shoots regenerated on media with TDZ and NAA. On media containing 0.5 or 1.0 mg·L−1 BA in combination with NAA, the regenerated shoots showed severe hyperhydricity, whereas on media containing 0.1 mg·L−1 BA in combination with NAA, the regenerated shoots grew normally. The highest shoot induction rate, 90.6%, was obtained on media containing 0.1 mg·L−1 BA and 0.01 mg·L−1 NAA. The effects of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and NAA on rooting of H. villosa ‘Caramel’ was explored. The highest rooting rate (95%) was obtained on 1/2 MS medium containing 0.2 mg·L−1 NAA. In the subsequent acclimation experiments, about 85% of rooted plantlets survived and grew normally.

<em>Solanum dulcamara</em> L. (bittersweet) is a medicinal plant that has been used to treat skin diseases, warts, tumors, felons, arthritis, rheumatism, bronchial congestion, heart ailments, ulcerative colitis, eye inflammations, jaundice and pneumonia. A reliable in vitro culture protocol for bittersweet was established. Explants (leaf and petiole segments) were cultured on Murashige and Skoog minimal organics (MSMO) medium with various plant growth regulator combinations. Leaf explants formed more shoots than petiole explants. Plant regeneration was observed through indirect organogenesis with both explants. Best shoot proliferation was obtained from leaf explants with 3 mg/l BA (benzyladenine) and 0.5 mg/l IAA (indole-3-acetic acid). Regenerated shoots were transferred to rooting media containing different levels of IAA (indole-3-acetic acid), IBA (indole-3-butyric acid), NAA (naphthalene acetic acid) or 2,4-D (2,4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid). Most shoots developed roots on medium with 0.5 mg/l IBA. Rooted explants were transferred to vermiculate in Magenta containers for acclimatization and after 2 weeks, they were planted in plastic pots containing potting soil and maintained in the plant growth room.

A reliable regeneration technique is critical for the improvement of pepper traits in the genome editing era. Recently, we reported that peppers were successfully and specifically edited using CRISPR tools, CRISPR/Cas9 and CRISPR/Cas12a (LbCpf1). Although genome-editing tools can be applied to modify peppers at the cellular level, feasible pepper regeneration techniques have not been developed. Therefore, we studied a pepper regeneration protocol for Capsicum annuum L. ‘Dempsey’, a bell pepper species that has been proven to be genome-editable. Three explant types were used in this study, including the first leaves, cotyledons and hypocotyls of pepper seedlings. The shoot buds of the tested explants were produced using 8 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP)- and 6 mg/L indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)-containing shoot induction medium (SIM). The first leaves of the ‘Dempsey’ seedlings showed an average shooting rate of 69.8%, whereas the hypocotyls and cotyledons had approximately 25.5% and 19.5% shooting rates, respectively. The regenerated ‘Dempsey’ plants exhibited no alterations in fruit and fertile seed phenotypes. Furthermore, the parent ‘Dempsey’ and progenies of the regenerants were cytogenetically stable with the same chromosome numbers (2n = 24). Therefore, this regeneration protocol enables the precise molecular breeding of ‘Dempsey’ peppers when coupled with CRISPR tools.
