Stewartia malacodendron L. (silky camellia), a small deciduous tree bearing showy flowers, has potential as a landscape plant. Propagation problems, limited availability and consequent high unit cost have slowed its acceptance as a landscape plant. Given its potential value as a landscape plant, studies were initiated to define a micropropagation protocol. Surface sterilized shoot tips and nodal explants from two-year-old container grown seedlings were established on Woody Plant Medium supplemented with 4.44 μM benzyladenine (BA) and solidified with 0.8% TC® Agar. Sustained growth of subcultured shoot tips and nodal segments required the addition of 8-15 μM gibberellic acid (GA3) to the medium. Regenerated shoots were 3 - 5 cm long, unbranched and typically consisted of three subdivisions. Effects of cytokinin type (BA, 2iP or kinetin) and concentration (0-25 μM) with factorial combinations of GA3 (0-30 μM) on shoot multiplication, elongation and diameter were determined after a 28 day culture period. Moderate GA, levels (10 & 20 μM) in combination with 2.5 μM BA yielded the highest quality microcuttings.

Quercus aliena Blume, also known as the oriental white oak, is a widespread species in temperate forests of East Asia with significant ecological and economical importance. Establishing an efficient vegetative propagation system is important for its germplasm conservation and breeding program. Protocols of micropropagation from shoot tips and nodal segments were investigated in order to produce uniform high-quality seedlings. Nodal segments from 18 month old seedlings were used as explants to initiate the aseptic culture. The highest bud proliferation was achieved by subculturing the explants on 1/2 strength woody plant medium (WPM) with 2.0 mg·L−1 BA. WPM with 0.5 mg·L−1 BA and 0.05 mg·L−1 IBA was the best medium for subculture to obtain the vigorous regenerated shoots in this experiment. Nodal segments without shoot tips had a higher adventitious bud proliferation rate than those with shoot tips. The highest rate (41.5%) of rooting in vitro was induced by using WPM with 1.0 mg·L−1 IBA and 5 g·L−1 activated charcoal. Ex vitro rooting by dipping the proliferated shoots with 500 mg·L−1 IBA solution, then transplanting directly to potting mix with 50% peat and 50% horticultural perlite fostered the highest rooting percentage and survival rate of the plantlets.

In vitro culture is a promising technique for mass propagation of high-value species. Study of propagation for Acacia hybrid (A. mangium x A. auriculiformis) through this technique has been conducted using single node stem from seedlings as explants. Growth medium used was modified Murashige and Skoog (MS), basal medium Woody Plant Medium (WPM), and Gamborg (B5) supplemented. The study was conducted in two stages, namely shoot induction and shoot multiplication. The treatment tested was the Benzyl Adenine (BA) supplementation at the concentration of 0.3; 0.7; and 1.0 mgL-1 of. Observation was conducted on the frequency of shoot induction, number of shoot, shoot length and visual performance of the culture. The result showed that treatment of BA 0.7 mgL-1 on modified MS medium is the best for shoot induction, shoot multiplication and visual performace of the culture. The average of number of shoot was 2.6; 5.0 and 7.7 shoots on the first three consecutive subcultures. Changing to different basal medium on the fourth subculture showed that the treatment of BA 0.7 mgl-1 is the best condition for shoot regeneration (12.60 shoots) and shoot length (6.97 cm). The culture from this treatment showed the best visual morphological performance.Keywords:Acacia hybrid; multiplication; subculture; in vitro; BA. ABSTRAKKultur in vitro merupakan suatu teknik yang menjanjikan untuk perbanyakan massal spesies-tanaman bernilai tinggi.

Micropropagation is a useful technique to propagate species such as deciduous azaleas, which are difficult to root from cuttings. To develop a micropropagation protocol that would be effective with a wide range of species and cultivars of native azalea, two culture media, Woody Plant Medium (WPM) (Lloyd and McCown, 1980) and ER medium (Economou and Read, 1994) were evaluated for ability to support growth of 11 species and four cultivars of deciduous azalea. Shoot tips were obtained from the first flush of growth in the spring on plants growing in the greenhouse or field. Following disinfection, the terminal and basal ends were removed from each explant. The explants were placed in culture tubes containing either WPM or ER medium with 12 mg/L 2iP and solidified with agar. Cultures were transferred to fresh medium every 4 to 6 weeks. Initial evaluations were made in 1996, and the experiment was repeated in 1997. In 1998, six of the taxa were evaluated for a third year. For most of the taxa evaluated, growth was superior on ER medium. On WPM, many of the cultures browned and died. R. canescens, R. viscosum, R. prunifolium, and R. austrinum are examples of species that preferred ER medium. R. alabamense, R. arborescens, and `My Mary' performed similarly on either medium.

<p>Se indujeron múltiples brotes mediante organogénesis directa a partir de segmentos nodales de 10 genotipos diferentes de guayaba. Para ello se estableció un sistema de propagación clonal <em>in vitro </em>combinado con inducción rápida de brotes <em>ex vitro </em>para propagar árboles élite. La utilización de segmentos nodales permitió obtener en poco tiempo brotes adventicios adecuados para multiplicación masiva. La respuesta <em>in vitro </em>de los genotipos fue evaluada usando los medios de cultivo MS (Murashige y Skoog, 1962), Mc (Mascarenhas) y WPM (<em>Woody Plant Medium</em>) suplementados con 0,1 mg•L-1 de ácido indolácetico (AIA) y 0,25 mg•L<sup>-1</sup> de bencilaminopurina (BAP). El procedimiento de desinfección con hipoclorito de sodio previno eficientemente la contaminación de los explantes después de la inoculación en el medio de cultivo. El mayor porcentaje en la inducción de brotes se logró con 0,25 mg•L<sup>-1</sup> de BAP. Los segmentos nodales presentaron de 1 a 2 brotes adventicios por explante después de 15 días de inoculados y de 3 a 7 brotes a los 30 días después del inicio del cultivo. Una vez individualizados los brotes se usaron en una nueva fase de multiplicación masiva en la que se probaron cuatro sustratos diferentes durante el enraizamiento y el endurecimiento. Esta metodología permitió la propagación <em>in vitro </em>de guayaba cuatro semanas después del inicio del cultivo. Los mejores resultados se lograron con el medio WPM que permitió obtener las primeras plántulas enraizadas dos semanas después de la transferencia al sustrato de enraizamiento.</p><p> </p><p><strong>In vitro propagation of Psidium guajaba using direct organogenesis from nodal segments</strong></p><p>Multiple shoots were induced using direct organogenesis from nodal segments of 10 different genotypes of guayaba. For this an in vitro clonal propagation system combined with rapid ex vitro induction of shoots was established in order to propagate elite trees. The use of nodal segments resulted in adventitious shoots adequate for mass multiplication in less time. The in vitro response of the genotypes was evaluated using the culture media MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962), Mc (Mascarenhas) and WPM (Woody Plant Medium) supplemented with 0.1 mg·L-1 of indole acetic acid (IAA) and 0.25 mg·L-1 of benzoaminopurine (BAP). The procedure for sterilizing with sodium hypochlorite effectively prevented the contamination of the explants after the inoculation of the culture medium. The greatest percentage of shoot induction was achieved with 0.25 mg·L-1 of BAP. The nodal segments showed between 1-2 adventitious shoots per explant 15 days post-inoculation and 3-7 shoots 30 days post-inoculation. Once individualized, the shoots were used in a new mass multiplication phase in which four different substrates were tested during rooting and hardening. This methodology permitted the in vitro propagation of guayaba four weeks post-inoculation. The best results were achieved with the WPM medium that resulted in the first rooted plantlets two weeks after the transfer to the rooting substrate.</p>

Handroanthus impetiginosus, pink lapacho, is a timber, ornamental, and medicinal tree. Experiments on thein vitropropagation ofH. impetiginosuswere conducted using nodal segments cultivated in both Murashige and Skoog salts with Gamborg vitamins (MSG) and Woody Plant Medium (WPM) with different concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and indole butyric acid (IBA). Morphogenic responses were differentially affected by salt compositions and their interactions with plant growth regulators in each micropropagation stage. According to response surface analysis, the optimum multiplication rate with 1 μM IBA ranged from 16.7 to 21.3 μM BA in WPM, and the inhibitors of endogenous auxins could increase multiplication rates. A pulse with 50 μM IBA in1/2MSG produced 83% rooting with 3.2 roots per shoots and higher fresh and dry weights of shoots and roots. In the acclimatisation stage, 50% of plants survived after 1 year. This methodology optimised the culture media for thein vitropropagation of theH. impetiginosusclonal pool and could be applied to related species, several of which are categorised as vulnerable on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List.

Dyssodia pentacheta, a prostrate-growing perennial Texas wildflower with potential for use in low-maintenance landscapes, was propagated in vitro and by stem cuttings under mist. Optimum rooting for IBA-treated semihardwood terminal stem cuttings (3 to 30 mm IBA) and in vitro-grown nodal segments (30 to 100 mm IBA) occurred after 4 weeks under an intermittent mist system. A 300-mm IBA basal dip was lethal to macroand microcuttings. In vitro, D. pentacheta produced more shoots per nodal explant on Woody Plant Medium (2 g Gelrite/liter) with 1 to 10 μ m BA than with combinations of BA and 0.5 μm NAA. After shoot proliferation, the shoots were subculture twice and grown on growth regulator-free medium. When maintaining D. pentacheta in vitro on media devoid of plant growth regulators, 1% sucrose was more effective than 2% for promoting shoot growth and suppressing apparent production of phenolics. Chemical names used: N-(phenylmethyl) -1H-purin-6-amine (BA); 1H-indole-3-butyric acid (IBA); 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA).

The use ofin vitroculture has been accepted as an efficient technique for clonal propagation of many woody plants. In the present research, we report the results of a number of experiments aimed at optimizing micropropagation protocol for tea (Camellia sinensis(L.) O. Kuntze) (clone Iran 100) using nodal segments as the explant. The effect of different combinations and concentrations of plant growth regulators (PGR) (BAP, TDZ, GA3) on shoot multiplication and elongation was assessed. The influence of exposure to IBA in liquid form prior to transfer to solid media on rooting of tea microshoots was investigated. The results of this study showed that the best treatment for nodal segment multiplication in terms of the number of shoot per explant and shoot elongation was obtained using 3 mg/L BAP in combination with 0.5 mg/L GA3. TDZ was found to be inappropriate for multiplication of tea clone Iran 100 as it resulted in hyperhydricity especially at concentrations higher than 0.05 mg/L. Healthy shoots treated with 300 mg/L IBA for 30 min followed by transfer to 1/2 strength MS medium devoid of PGR resulted in 72.3% of shoots producing roots and upon transferring them to acclimatization chamber 65% survival was obtained prior to field transfer.

Propagation by stem cuttings and in vitro culture of apical bud explants were studied on Fraxinus excelsior L. Stem cuttings from 4- to 7-year-old trees growing under natural conditions sprouted only when cuttings were taken from dormant material. Only 6% of those that had sprouted developed roots by the 7th month of culture. Similarly, only apical bud explants harvested during the dormant period sprouted in vitro. Up to 87% of these sprouts developed two to four branching adventitious roots after 5 months of culture. During the initial phase of in vitro culture, the Quoirin and Lepoivre medium and the woody plant medium favoured sprout lengthening. During the phase of multiplication, up to three sprouts per explant developed with the woody plant medium in the presence of a combination of high 6-benzylaminopurine (3.0–4.0 mg∙L−1) and low indole-3-butyric acid (0.01–0.03 mg∙L−1) concentrations. Rooting was obtained in a medium without any growth regulators. Microscopic analysis showed a direct connection between the vascular elements of adventitious roots and stem of plantlet. Chromosome number in root apices of ash plantlets and ash trees grown under natural conditions was 2n = 46. Key words: chromosome number, Fraxinus excelsior L., in vitro plants, micropropagation, stem cuttings.

The goal of this study was to investigate in vitro multiplication protocols for use with red currant cultivars grown in the Czech Republic. Cultivars Detvan, Vitan and Rotte H&ouml;llandische were successfully established in vitro using mercuric chloride in a concentration of 0.15% as a sterilization solution. The overall rate of contamination was 25.7%. Two proliferation media Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) and McCown woody plant medium (WPM) containing 1 or 2&nbsp;mg/l of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) were tested. Initial explants produced new plants in the form of rosettes. Rosettes arose from the base of the initial explants in the form of adventitious bud formation. The shoot number was relatively low and varied between 1.0 and 2.1. Generally, the highest number was obtained for cultivar Rotte Holl&auml;ndische that produced 2.1 &plusmn; 0.1 new rosettes on MS medium containing lower concentration 1 mg/l BAP. In contrary, Vitan cv. had significantly lower shoot number ranging from 1.0 to 1.3. WPM medium with a lower concentration of mineral salts proved to be unsuitable for the multiplication of tested cultivars.
