Malanga (Colocasia esculenta) is a plant genetic resource that requires biotechnological strategies for conservation and propagation. One time-, labor-, and space-saving option is in vitro conservation and regeneration. The objective of this study was to develop a protocol for in vitro regeneration and conservation of germplasm of C. esculenta var. criolla. For conservation through minimal growth, we assessed several concentrations of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (one-third, one-half, and three-quarter strength), the growth retardant ancymidol (0, 1, 2, and 3 mg·L−1), and the osmoregulator polyethylene glycol (PEG-8000 mw) at different concentrations (0, 10, 20, and 30 g·L−1). For in vitro conservation, the percent survival, shoot number and length, and number of leaves and roots per explant were evaluated after 24 weeks. For in vitro regeneration, different concentrations of thidiazuron (TDZ: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 mg·L−1) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP; 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mg·L−1) were evaluated. After 4 weeks of cultivation, the percent response, shoot number, and number of leaves per explant were recorded. During in vitro conservation, it was noted that the treatment including 2 mg·L−1 ancymidol resulted in a retarded development, without affecting the survival of the C. esculenta germplasm. With regard to shoot regeneration, 7.60 shoots per explant were obtained using 2 mg·L−1 TDZ. Finally, 98% survival was achieved during the acclimatization process. This study will contribute to the establishment of genetic improvement programs through in vitro conservation and propagation of this valuable plant genetic resource.

In vitro conservation of germplasm plays a vital role in maintenance breeding and also has many advantages over the conventional system. The experimental results for conservation of Colocasia sp. also proved this. In relation to explants and osmoticum, meristem and axillary bud could be conserved for 24 months while meristem-base died after 6 months. Mannitol as osmoticum @ 4% performed nicely to conserve Colocasia upto 24 months. Only meristem and axillary bud could be conserved for 24 months with the use of 4 % mannitol. But other level of mannitol remained culture alive for varying periods (6 to 12 months). After 24 months, the plant height was 6.5 cm for the meristem and 6.4 for axillary bud.Bangladesh J. Agril.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of growth regulator NAA on in vitro shoot proliferation, rooting, and plantlet establishment. Among the different concentrations of NAA, the best increase in shoot weight (0.25 g) and shoot number (8.83) were observed from 0.1 mg/I NAA. The highest shoot length (2.60 cm), number of leaves (4.83), number of roots (5.15), and root length (2.67 cm) were obtained with 0.2 mg/I NAA at 60 DAT. Key Words: Dendrobium orchid, NAA, MS media.

In vitro cultivation is a highly important biotechnological method widely used for the production of orchid seedlings, but it is necessary to study the suitability of the nutrients used in different kinds of formulation, as the nutritional requirement varies according to the species. The objective was to evaluate different concentrations of iron in the in vitro cultivation of Schomburgkia crispa Lindl seedlings. Seedlings were obtained from seeds germinated in vitro. Modified MS culture medium was used with half of the macronutrient concentration. The micronutrients were added according to the original formulation, except for the iron which was added from a stock solution of FeEDTA (FeSO4.7H2O: 5.6 g L-1 and EDTA: 7.48 g L-1) at 0.0; 2.5; 5.0; 7.5; 10.0 and 12.5mL L-1. At 200 days after seedling transplantation, shoot height, root length, number of leaves, shoot number, leaf length, leaf width, aerial and root dry mass, chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids content were evaluated. A completely randomized design was used, with six treatments and ten replicates of five seedlings. Regression analysis was performed at 5% of significance. The increase in iron concentration caused a reduction in root length and an increase in the number of leaves and shoots. The concentration of 4.13 mL L-1 of FeEDTA was the one that provided the best in vitro growth of S. crispa plants. High concentrations of iron caused a reduction of initial development, but stimulated an increase in the number of shoots.

Regeneration of adult conifer trees by means of in vitro culture has been the subject of intense study during the last 20 years. Propagation by tissue culture may become the best method for obtaining multiple identical trees and for capturing the genetic gain in breeding programs. However, the method has several problems related to phase change of trees (juvenile–adult) that limit its practical applications. In this study, shoot buds were collected from 20 maritime pine ( Pinus pinaster Ait.) adult trees (>20 years old) from November to March. Buds were cut transversely into 0.5–1.0 cm slices and cultured on several media (DCR, WP and modified LP) supplemented with cytokinins (6-benzyladenine, metatopolin, or zeatin) at two concentrations (25 or 50 μmol/L). The highest organogenic response (axillary shoots formation ability) occurred on DCR medium supplemented with 25 μmol/L zeatin and metatopolin, and 25 or 50 μmol/L 6-benzyladenine. All shoots that regenerated on DCR medium with 25 μmol/L 6-benzyladenine developed healthy and well rooted plantlets. The ability to micropropagate adult trees represents a significant progress in the application of biotechnology to forest tree improvement programs, and it opens the possibility of using select trees in agroforestry areas under biotic or abiotic stress.

<p><strong>In vitro conservation of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.)</strong></p><p>Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is one of the economically im¬ potant spices. The major constraint in black pepper cultivation and conservation in ield is foot rot disease caused by Phytopthora capsici which could cause plants die. Conservation of black pepper germplasms as living collections in ield is risky due to pests and natural disaster. The experiment on in vitro cop ervation of black pepper var. LDL was conducted al the laboratory of Plant Genetic Resources and Breeding, Research Institute for Spice and Medicinal Crops (RISMC) Bogor from April 1998 to Maret 1999. Single node cuttings from sterile culture were used as explains. The explains were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium on full and half strength concentration supplemented with paclobutrazol (paclo) (0, 1, 3 and 5 mg/1). The experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design arranged factorially with 10 replications. The result showed that the medium supplemented with paclo on both full MS and MS A medium could suppress vegetative growth until 12 months. There was no signiicant interaction between medium and paclo on shoot initiation. The effect was signiicant on shoot height, number of leaves and culture performances. Increasing paclo concen¬ tration caused higher suppression of plant growth. MS A medium supplemented with paclo 5 mg/1 showed the slowest growth with shool height 2.10 cm and number of leaves 9. Culture performance was fresh, with green leaves and vigorous. Advcntive shoots were able to regenerate on the medium supplemented with BA 0.3 mg/1. In vitro conservation of black pepper with paclo did not change plant regeneration ability. Therefore, this technique may be used as an altenative method for black pepper conservation.</p>

This experiment amid to study the effect of cultivars, growth regulator and number of sub-cultures on the shoots formation of strawberry plantlets during multiplication stage and Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of strawberry cultures in vitro during the fourth sub-culture. This experiment included 40 treatments, which were the combination between two strawberry cultivars (Festival and Sweet Charlie), five treatments of growth regulator (BA and GA3) and four number of sub-cultures during shoots formation (multiplication stage). The obtained results showed that, the maximum increment of growth measurement of strawberry plantlets were recorded by Sweet Charlie cultivar .In addition , using ½ MS-medium without supplemented with any growth regulators (BA and GA3) being the superior treatment for increasing both number of leaves per shoot and shoot length. On the other hand, generally, the fourth sub-culture being the most effective treatment on the growth measurement of strawberry plantlets during multiplication stage. Furthermore, Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis varied according to the two tested cultivars and the type of for production of disease resistant plants and in plant breeding and crop improvement programs (Mohamed, 2003).

Chinese fever vine (Paederia foetida L.), a valuable medicinal plant has been greatly utilized in therapeutic purposes throughout the world. Since conventional propagation techniques of P. foetida are very slow, inefficient and cannot cope with the increasing demand, in-vitro regeneration through tissue culture could be an alternative means of rapid propagation. Therefore, the efforts were made to develop a suitable protocol through direct organogenesis of P. foetida. After surface sterilization, the nodal explants were cultured in Murashigue and Skoog (MS) medium and MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators. MS medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine; BAP (2.0 mg L-1) produced the maximum number of shoots; 4.40 ± 0.98 and 5.40±1.12 after 15 and 30 days of culture respectively. The number of shoots gained by 15 days was found to be the highest; 1.20±0.80 at BAP (4.0 mg L-1) followed by 1.00±0.55 at BAP (2.0 mg L-1). Although the combination of BAP + Kinetin (2 mg L-1 +2 mg L-1) showed the highest shoot growth (3.40 ± 1.08 cm) by 15 days, sole application of BAP (2.0 mg L-1) or Kn (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mg L-1) showed similar responses. BAP (2.0 mg L-1) showed the best responses for developing the highest number of leaves; 18.60 ± 2.42 and 29.20 ± 2.73 respectively after 15 and 30 days of culture. Similarly, development of the maximum number of leaves (10.60 ± 0.68) was reported by 15 days at BAP (2.0 mg L-1). Rooting was significantly induced in indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) supplemented to 1/2 strength MS medium as compared to control (only ½ strength MS medium). The best performance of rooting was observed by 0.5 mg L-1 IAA which produced average 4.33 roots per shoot after 21 days of culture. The regenerated plants showed similar morphology to the mother plants. Thus, a suitable protocol for successful multiplication of P. foetida in vitro was established using nodal explants. Ann.
