Tissue culture is a useful means to clonally propagate new ornamental plant selections, particularly when plant material is limited and/or conventional propagation methods are ineffective. An efficient in vitro multiplication protocol was established to propagate a new goatsbeard hybrid (Aruncus dioicus, × A. aethusifolia). The hybrid is of interest because it exhibits a dwarf habit, delicate white flower panicles and fern-like leaves, yet is tolerant to heat and humidity. Experiments were conducted to evaluate explant type (nodes, stems, leaves, and floral parts), disinfestation procedures, and media formulations including varying concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Rapid plant regeneration was obtained with a shoot organogenesis system using a half strength Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 4.4 μmol BAP, 0.54 μmol NAA, 30 g·L-1 sucrose, and 3.0 g·L-1 GelGro. Studies compared the performance and yield of plants rooted using different in vitro and ex vitro methods. Ex vitro rooting of shoots during greenhouse acclimatization under mist was most effective. Regenerated plants exhibited uniform and rapid growth, and performed well in greenhouse and field evaluations.

Shoot multiplication of a putative variant of Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don, was achieved in vitro using shoot tips and nodal segments as explants. The addition of growth regulators to establishment medium stimulated bud breaking and shoot elongation. The maximum shoot multiplication (15.1 shoots/microshoot) and the longest shoots (7.0 cm) occurred on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) containing 1.0 mg L-1 of N6-Benzyladenine (BA) and a- Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). All microshoots formed roots and normal root morphology occurred on half strength MS salt supplied with 0.5 mg L-1 NAA or Indole-B-Butyric acid (IBA). Rooted microshoots (95 %) were successfully transferred to soil.

In vitro propagation system has been developed for an important ornamental and medicinal plant, Muscari armeniacum Leichtil. ex Bak. A range of a cytokinin and auxin concentration has been investigated for axillary bulblet proliferation, and direct and indirect adventitious bulblet regeneration from the explants whole bulb, one fourth part of bulb, bulb-scale of ex vitro (field grown mature bulb), and only leaf-sheath explants of in vitro grown bulblet. Axillary bulblet regeneration occurred on MS containing 2.0 - 8.0 ?M BAP or Kn. Direct adventitious bulblets were induced successfully on MS basal medium supplemented with various concentrations of BAP or Kn (1.0 - 4.0 ?M) in combi-nation of either NAA, IBA, or 2,4-D (0.5 - 4.0 ?M). The maximum frequency of adventitious bulblets regeneration occurred from both bulb-scale and leaf-sheath explants on MS with 4.0 ?M BAP and 2.0 ?M NAA, IBA, or 2,4-D. The highest frequency (95.5%) of indirect adventitious bulblets was obtained from in vitro grown leaf-sheathderived callus on MS containing 4.0 ?M BAP with 1.0 ?M 2,4-D whereas, highest number (80.2) and average length (55.5 cm) of bulblets were obtained on MS supplemented with 4.0 ?M BAP and 1.0 ?M NAA. In vitro grown bullets was rooted successfully on MS with 0.5 - 4.0 ?M of IBA, NAA, or IAA. The rooted bulblets were transferred to garden soil and successfully established under ex vitro environment.

Abstract Disinfection of plant material is the most important step of the tissue culture protocol. In this process, an attempt is made to eliminate microbial contaminants from the surface and interior of plant material, thus giving the explant a fighting chance at survival in vitro. Initial cultures of Anthurium species and cultivars, which are usually established from ex vitro material grown in a greenhouse, pots or in the field, easily contaminate the in vitro milieu. This review highlights the differences in disinfection protocols that exist for different species or cultivars of Anthurium. The protocol needs to be adjusted based on the material used: spadices, spathes, seeds, leaves, or roots. Regrettably, most of the currently published protocols, derived from a literature that spans over 100 published papers, have numerous weaknesses and flaws in the information provided pertaining to disinfection and infection levels. Advice for future Anthurium researchers should thus be followed cautiously.

A simple and efficient protocol for micropropagation of Incarvillea delavayi (Bignoniaceae), an ornamental plant from China, was developed in this study. As initial plant material, adventitious shoots were used. Effect of 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1 mg l-1 BAP in half-strength MS medium on shoot multiplication was studied. For rooting, 0.1 and 0.3 mg l-1 NAA were tested. The highest shoot number (8.60 ± 0.78 shoots per explant) and plant height (5.50 ± 0.31 cm) were obtained on medium supplemented with 1 mg l-1 BAP. The shoots optimally rooted on medium with addition of 0.3 mg l-1 NAA (8.48 ± 0.51 roots per shoot; root length 1.64 ± 0.18 cm). Well rooted plants were transferred ex vitro. Eight weeks after ex vitro transfer, 62.5% plants survived. The protocol optimized here, can be used for large-scale propagation of ornamental plant I. delavayi.

The technique of plant tissue culture has been used to In vitro micropropagation of Spilanthes acmella (L.) Murr. It is an ornamental and medicinal plant not cultivated in Iraq. Seeds were sterilized and cultuared on full strength Murashige and Skoog medium(1962)(MS). Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 6- furfuryl aminopurine (Kin.) growth regulators were used at the Initiation stage.The combination between IAA and Kin. was used in multiplication stage. IAA was used for rooting the shoots. Results showed that 1.5% sodium hypochlorite for 15 min was very effective for disinfecting and survival. Nodes exhibited relatively highest response as compared with apical meristems and leaflets culture. Supplying the culture medium with 1 mg/L. Kin. was effective for lateral shoot induction. The mean number of shoots obtained from nodes were 4.12 with a mean length 2.70 cm. Adding Kin. at 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5 and IAA at 0.1 mg/L. to the growth medium was effective for multiplication. Mean number of the developed shoots were 13.60, 14.20, 12.00 respectively. The best result of rooting stage was achieved by half- strength MS medium without growth regulators which produced 27.50 roots/ plantlet with mean length 3.90 cm. Results of acclimatization stage showed that addition of 1:1 peat moss and loamy soil gave the highest rate of survival(100)% after 4 weeks of acclimatization. This study showed the ability of in vitro propagation of Spilanthes acmella (L.) Murr.

Boerhaavia diffusa L., also known as santhi, or punarnava is an important medicinal plant, belonging to the family Nyctaginaceae. This species is said to be distributed throughout Malwa plateau in central India, as per ayurvedic literature, but due to extensive commercial exploitation, the species has become vulnerable. For callus induction, leaf explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4- dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D 2.26 µM-9.04 µM) and N 6-benzyladenine (BA 1.11 µM-4.44 µM), either alone or in combinations. Calli formed within 10-12 days of culture, followed by shoots regeneration within 20-25 days. Direct organogenesis was achieved from nodal explants in MS media fortified with 2,4-D (2.26 µM-9.04 µM) along with BA (1.11 µM-4.44 µM) within 20 days. Multiple shooting was observed during subculture of in vitro regenerated shoots when 2,4-D was replaced with α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Rooting was achieved in MS medium fortified with 2.85 µM IAA, within 7-10 days and also on half strength MS medium containing 2.85 µM Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). For hardening, regenerated plants, with roots (3-4cm) were initially maintained on half-strength MS liquid medium (MS1/2) without growth regulators followed by quarter strength MS (MS1/4) liquid medium for 10 days. For acclimatization sterile mixture of soil, sand and manure (2:1:1) was used. Survival rate of regenerated plants was nearly 100%.

An efficient in vitro regeneration protocol is reported for common buckwheat. A combination of 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D and 0.2 mg/l BAP with sucrose showed highest induction of somatic embryogenesis from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants. More than 35% of normal somatic embryos matured on MS. MS with 2% sucrose were found best for germination and conversion of somatic embryos to plantlets. In tissue culture, abnormal somatic embryos usually occur. In this report, abnormal embryos are also used to induce shoot organogenesis, adding to the number of final regenerants and ensuring full utilization of regenerative propagules. A treatment of 0.2 mg/l BAP induced meristemoids in 60% of underdeveloped embryos and a combination of 0.5 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l AgNO3 led browning and senescence-free progression of shoot buds to well developed shoots, which were subsequently rooted in half strength MS containing 2% sucrose and 0.25 mg/l IBA. The regenerated plants survived acclimatization, flowered and set seeds. Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 29(1): 33-47, 2019 (June)

The complete protocol for regeneration and long-term micropropagation of several Polish cultivars of pea (<em>Pisum sativum </em>L.) has been elaborated. The shoots were the most likely regenerated via de novo organogenesis. The adventitious buds formed in callus derived from cotyledons tissue adjacent to the axillary meristems of immature embryos. All cultivars' calli regenerated several shoots per explant on the MS medium supplemented with B5 vitamins and 4.5 mgl<sup>-1</sup> of BAP, however some differences in regeneration capacity among cultivars were observed. The plantlets were subsequently micropropagated with slightly higher efficiency and preserving a good viability over the long-term culture on a medium containing 2.0 mgl<sup>-1</sup> than one with 4.5 mgl<sup>-1</sup> of BAP. The additional step of the pre-conditioning culture of multiplicated shoots on a medium with very low BAP concentration i.e. 0.02 mgl<sup>-1</sup> was applied and appeared to be beneficial before rooting in vitro or grafting. The modified MS-derived medium with the half-strength of MS macroelements but with the full original dose of calcium and supplemented with B5 vitamins and 1.0 mgl<sup>-1</sup> of NAA was developed for effective rooting. The shoots were also sufficiently transferred into ex vitro conditions using grafting. The majority of the regenerated plants had adapted to in vivo conditions in a greenhouse and subsequently has set seeds. The presented protocol provides relatively efficient rate of de novo pea regeneration and would be useful for <em>Agrobacterium</em>-mediated transformation purposes.
