Protocols for in vitro propagation from protocorms of Mormodes tuxtlensis Salazar, Cuitlauzina pendula La Llave & Lex., and Lycaste skinneri (Batem. Ex. Lind.) Lind., three endangered species distributed in Mexico and highly appreciated as ornamentals, were developed. The effect of two different culture media, Murashige and Skoog (MS) and modified Knudson (KCm), combined with varying concentrations of N6-benzyladenine (0, 2.2, 4.4, 8.9, and 13.3 μM) and α-naphthaleneacetic acid (0, 0.5 and 2.7 μM), were investigated. Shoot formation and development of protocorm-like bodies were observed. For all three species, cultures in MS produced more shoots per explant than those in KCm, and those shoots were longer and more robust in appearance. Maximum number of shoots for M. tuxtlensis (1.5) and C. pendula (24.3) were obtained in media supplemented with 13.3 μM and 2.2 μM N6-benzyladenine, respectively. Conversely, for L. skinneri the greatest shoot production (16.4) was achieved in medium supplemented with 2.7 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid. Subculturing explants in MS basal medium allowed further development and rooting of the shoots as well as growth of protocorm-like bodies. The effect of different potting mixes on ex vitro survival plantlets was also investigated; pine bark:oak charcoal:pumice (3:1:1) allowed the highest survival rates in all three species.

An efficient and rapid protocol for the micropropagation of Globba schomburgkii Hook. f. via bulbil explants was investigated. The long divided and undivided bubils of G. schomburgkii Hook. f. were cultured on MS medium (Murashige and Skoog) that had either 3 mg/l benzyladenine (BA) or 0.5 mg/l naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) added for 8 weeks. The results indicated that the long divided bulbils of G. schomburgkii Hook. f. showed a greater amount of plant regeneration than the undivided bulbils. Callus induction, as well as shoot and root formation, were observed when culturing microshoots of 1 cm in length on media (MS) that had Thidiazuron (TDZ) or NAA plus BA added at a range of concentrations for 8 weeks. The highest percentage of callus induction was 40 % when culturing the microshoots on MS medium supplemented with NAA and BA. The best result for shoot formation was achieved when culturing the microshoots on MS medium with TDZ added. The highest number of roots was obtained when culturing the microshoots on MS medium with NAA and BA added. The in vitro-derived plantlets of G. schomburgkii Hook. f. were transplanted to pots containing different types of potting mixture in a greenhouse. The survival rates were 80 % when G. schomburgkii Hook. f. was transplanted to sand.

Different culture media were compared at the initiation and multiplication steps to develop a rapid production system for geranium (Pelargonium × hortorum) in vitro. Different salt dilutions of the Murashige and Skoog (MS) (1962) mineral medium were used in combination with different concentrations of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzyladenine (BA) in order to optimize initiation of shoots of four geranium cultivars. The use of a MS basal medium with half-strength macrosalts supplemented with 0.11 μM NAA and 0.89 μM BA gave the best results in initiation. More than 40% of the apices initiated on this medium produced multiple shoots within a month. Subsequently, the effect of different concentrations of growth regulators was quantified by the mean of "shoot doubling time" evaluation. The shortest time recorded was 10.5 d for a theoretical production of 1 × 109 plantlets/apex/year. This is the first quantitative evaluation of geranium production in vitro. Geranium plantlets rooted easily on a half-strength MS medium without growth regulators. Acclimatization of geranium plantlets was characterized by high survival rates (94%) and the plants thus produced were phenotypically comparable to seed-derived plants. Key words: Geranium, micropropagation, shoot doubling time, in vitro

A method for rapid micropropagation of sea kale (Crambe maritima L.) was developed. Petiole explants placed in vitro on a medium containing 0.5 mg/L indoleacetic acid (IAA), 6.0 mg/L kinetin, and 1.5 mg/L benzylaminopurine developed callus within 15 days and shoots within 28 days. Nearly four adventitious shoots could be developed within 3 weeks by placing the initial shoot on media without IAA. To develop roots, the shoots were then transferred to the basal medium containing 0.1 to 1.0 mg/L indolbutyric or α-naphthaleneacetic acid. Rooted plantlets were obtained within 2 or 3 weeks. After an acclimatization period of 6 weeks in a greenhouse in unsterilized medium, the plantlets could be set outdoors.

An efficient plant regeneration protocol was developed from in vitro germinated seeds of Petunia hybrida an ornamentally important plant in the family Solanaceae. Shoot tip and node explants of Petunia hybrida were cultured on MS basal medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of Benzyl amino purine (BAP), 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and Gibberellic acid (GA3). The highest shoot length was obtained from MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l BAP + 1 mg/l NAA. The highest shoot number (3 shoots/explant) were obtained from MS medium supplemented with 0.6 mg/l BAP + 0.5 mg/l IBA. The isolated shoots were transferred to MS basal medium supplemented with different concentrations of GA3 ranging from 0.05, 0.2, 0.5 and 1 mg/l for shoot elongation. The highest shoot length (5.75 cm) was recorded from the MS medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/l GA3 +0.2 mg/l BAP. Rooting of regenerated shoots were achieved on MS medium supplemented with 0.1-1 mg/1 IBA and NAA. The regenerated shoots with well developed roots were successfully acclimatized and established in pots containing sterilized peat moss and grown under laboratory conditions with 70% survival rates.

A method of in vitro plant regeneration for both the selenium-hyperaccumulator Astragalus racemosus ‘Cream Milkvetch’ and the nonaccumulator Astragalus canadensis ‘Canadian Milkvetch’ was developed with two induction media, M1 and M2. The M1 and M2 contain Murashige and Skoog basal medium plus vitamins, 8.07 μm N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N′-phenylurea, 2.5% (w·v−1) sucrose, 0.7% (w·v−1) agar (pH 5.7), and 0.89 μm or 3.12 μm a-naphthaleneacetic acid, respectively. In vitro cultures were initiated on these two types of media with three types of explants: cotyledons, hypocotyls, and roots. More than 93% of cultured explants from both species could form calli or calli with shoots. With regard to shoot formation, A. canadensis could produce multiple shoots from all types of explants more efficiently than A. racemosus. The highest shoot induction was approximately three shoots per explant in A. racemosus, whereas A. canadensis could reach ≈10 shoots per explant. M1 could induce more shoots than M2 no matter what type of explant was used, but the overall induction rates were no significant difference. Among the three types of explants used, the cotyledons were the best explants for shoot induction in A. canadensis, whereas hypocotyls were the best in A. racemosus. In A. racemosus, shoots could also be obtained from calli on the rooting medium containing Murashige and Skoog basal plus vitamins, 2.84 μm indole-3 acetic acid, 2.5% (w·v−1) sucrose, and 0.7% (w·v−1) agar (pH 5.7). Approximately 43% of A. canadensis shoots and 19% of A. racemosus shoots could be rooted on the rooting medium.

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.

Wedelia chinensis, belonging to the Asteraceae family, has been used in folk medicine in East and South Asia for the treatment of common inflammatory diseases and protection against liver toxicity. Previously, in vitro propagation through different tissue explants has been reported, including through nodal segments, axillary buds, and shoot tips, whereas leaf segments failed to proliferate. Here, we report on the in vitro propagation of W. chinensis by culturing young leaf explants in MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 0.75 mg/L thidiazuron (TDZ), 1 mg/L gibberellic acid (GA3), 3.75 mg/L adenine, 3% sucrose, and 0.8% agar at pH 5.8. Calli were observed in all explants derived from the youngest top two leaves, and the average percentage of shoot regeneration was 23% from three independent experiments. Then, several shoots were excised, transferred onto MS basal medium supplemented with 3% sucrose and 0.8% agar at pH 5.8, and cultured in a growth chamber for 1 to 2 months. Roots were easily induced. Finally, plantlets carrying shoots and roots were transferred into soil, and all of them grew healthily in a greenhouse. No morphological variation was observed between the regenerated plantlets and the donor wild-type plants. In addition, we also established root cultures of W. chinensis in culture medium (MS medium, 3 mg/L NAA, 3% sucrose, pH 5.8) with or without 0.8% agar. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper reporting plant regeneration from leaf explants in the herbal plant W. chinensis.

A protocol for in vitro propagation from protocorms of Oncidium tigrinum Llave & Lex., a threatened species distributed in Mexico and highly appreciated as an ornamental, was developed. Two different explants, entire protocorms and longitudinal halves of protocorms, were used. In addition, the effect of two different culture media, Murashige and Skoog (MS) and modified Knudson (KCm), supplemented with N6-benzyladenine (BA) (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 5 mg·L−1) and/or α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at 0, 0.1, and 0.5 mg·L−1 was investigated. Adventitious shoot formation by direct organogenesis was obtained in all treatments; in some cases, the formation of protocorm-like bodies was induced. Shoot formation was greater for entire protocorms; the best treatment was MS medium containing at BA 1 to 2 mg·L−1 in combination with at NAA 0.1 mg·L−1. The average height of shoots was three times greater in MS medium than in KCm medium. Subculturing individual shoots in MS medium without plant growth regulators, but with 1 g·L−1 activated charcoal, allowed further development and rooting. An ex vitro survival rate of almost 100% was achieved. This study represents a comprehensive application for propagation, conservation, and sustainable use of this valuable natural resource.

In vitro propagation systems by means of areole activation were developed for Echinocereus knippelianus, Echinocereus schmollii, Mammillaria carmenae, M. carmenae fo. rubrisprina, M. herrerae, M. theresae, Melocactus curvispinus, Escontria chiotilla and Polaskia chichipe. In vitro germinated seedlings were used as source of explants. Multiple shoot formation from areoles was achieved on MS basal medium supplemented with 3% sucrose, 10 g L-1 agar and 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) or 6-(, -dimethylallylamino)purine (2iP). Efficiencies ranged from 6.0 shoots per explant in M. carmenae fo. rubrisprina to 13.5 shoots per explant in Echinocereus schmollii. Rooting of the in vitro generated shoots was achieved in MS basal medium, or MS basal medium supplemented with indoleacetic acid, indolebutyric acid or activated charcoal. Finally, 49-98% of these plants survived.
