A protocol for in vitro propagation in flowering ash (Fraxinus ornus L.) has been developed. Shoot apices or nodal segments from aseptically grown seedings or shoot apices from adult trees were used as initial explants. Highest shoot multiplication rates were obtained when the explants were cultured for 30 days in liquid Rugini induction medium supplemented with BA followed by 30 days on solidified Rugini multiplication medium without growth regulators. Regenerated shoots were rooted on Heller medium containing auxins alone or in combination with BA. Rooting percentages up to 71% (juvenile material) or 50% (adult material) were obtained in the presence of NAA and BA, and were not improved by treating the basal end of the shoots with concentrated NAA solutions. Following conventional procedures, regenerated plants were transferred to soil with more than 80% success. Chemical names used: N-(phenylmethyl)-1H-purin-6-amine (BA); 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA).

The aim of the current research was to find the best plant growth regulators for the multiplication of Sarracenia purpurea. Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) was prepared with macronutrients and micronutrients at 1/3 strength, full strength vitamins, supplemented with 30 g/l sucrose and 5 g/l phytagel and autoclaved. After cooling 0.5 mg\l α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 5 mg\l 6-benzyladenine (BA) or 0.5 mg\l NAA + 3 mg\l BA were added. Young S. purpurea plants were selected and transferred to media with or without plant growth regulators and cultured for 12 weeks. At the end of this time frame number of roots, root length (cm) and number of shoots were evaluated and differences were analysed by the analysis of variance and interpreted using the Tuckey test. The largest number of roots grew in medium supplemented with 0.5 mg\l NAA but the the absence of plant growth regulators increased their length. The best conditions for shoot multiplication were provided by supplementing 1/3MS with 5 mg\l BA.

The purpose of our research was to establish a protocol for the in vitro culture of Viburnum treleasei, a rare and endangered taxon with high ornamental potential endemic to the Azores islands. The surface sterilization of the explants was better achieved with a pretreatment of 0.1% (w/v) Benomyl for 2 h followed by 0.2% (w/v) HgCl2 for 10 min with agitation. Shoot tips were the most efficient explants for shoot development and single-node segments for proliferation. Woody plant medium (WPM) was adequate for all micropropagation stages. For culture establishment and shoot development, a hormone-free medium was adequate, whereas a 1.1 μM N6-benzyl adenine medium supplement was more efficient for shoot multiplication. Elongation and rooting could be carried out on a 1.3 μM 1-naphthaleneacetic acid-supplemented medium. Acclimatization of in vitro-produced plantlets was achieved after 1 month with a success rate of 50%. This in vitro propagation procedure will be useful for the conservation of Viburnum treleasei through production of morphologically true-to-type plants, allowing the recovery of depleted natural populations. Chemical names used: N6-benzyl adenine (BA); 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA); HgCl2 (mercury bichloride).

Hypocotyls of Fraser fir (Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir.) were excised from seeds germination 9 days and placed on bud induction medium containing 10 mg/liter benzyladenine (BA) and 0.01 mg/liter naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or medium without growth regulators. After 3 days on medium containing growth regulators, cell divisions were localized in epidermal and subepidermal layers of the hypocotyl while similar cell divisions were not observed in control-treated hypocotyls. Cell clusters consisting of two to five cells were present after 7 days in hypocotyls placed on bud induction medium. In control-treated hypocotyls, stomata continued to develop and cells within the cortex became vacuolated during the first 2 weeks in culture. All hypocotyls were transferred to secondary medium after 3 weeks. Cell clusters continued to enlarge into meristemoids in hypocotyls initially placed on bud induction medium. Gradually, meristemoids developed into buds and cataphylls were observed covering bud meristems.

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.

This work aimed to evaluate the influence of naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and gibberellic acid (GA3) plant regulators in in vitro etiolation and subsequent regeneration of the PE x SC-60 pineapple hybrid. Nodal segments of in vitro plants with approximately 5-7 cm height were incubated in basic MS culture medium supplemented with 0.0; 0.5 and 1.0 mg L-1 of naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) in combination with gibberellic acid (GA3) in concentrations of 0.0; 0.5 and 1.0 mg L-1, and maintained at 27 ºC under dark condition. Evaluations were carried out at 90 and 180 days after incubation period. The best results for length of etiolated stems were obtained with 1.0 mg L-1 of NAA. In the experiment followed by the regeneration, stems with 3 cm from the etiolation treatment, were cultivated in proliferation medium and the number of regenerated plants per treatment was evaluated at 60 days of cultivation. The treatment that promoted the best etiolation of plants also promoted the worst regeneration rates, demonstrating the residual effect of the auxin used in the previous step in the regeneration of plants of the pineapple hybrid evaluated.

Sphaerophysa kotschyana is a threatened endemic species in Turkey and according to the Bern Convention, it is on the absolute preservation plant list. In vitro propagation methodologies were evaluated as an ex situ conservation strategy for this species. Nodal segments were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media with different cytokinins (benzyladenine, thidiazuron (TDZ) and zeatine), with or without auxin (α-naphthaleneacetic acid; NAA), to investigate shoot initiation. TDZ produced the highest number of shoots (11.0 shoots per explant) on MS medium at a concentration of 0.05 mg L–1. Rooting reached 100% when 0.5 mg L–1 NAA was combined with half strength MS and 1.5% sucrose and rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatised. Somaclonal variation of a mother plant and 10 regenerants was assessed using ISSR analysis. The same banding profiles were exhibited by all plants. In vitro response to salinity stress (NaCl) was also investigated in this halophytic species. Higher concentrations of NaCl negatively affected shoot multiplication, whereas shoot height was enhanced at 50 mM NaCl. These results suggest that the established protocol is an efficient and reliable system of in vitro propagation for ex situ conservation of S. kotschyana.

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.

Hyperhydricity is a frequently problem in plants during in vitro culture and affected micropropagation ofplants. To develop an efficient in vitro regenerated system without hyperdydricity, we demonstrated the effectof different disinfected agents (mercuric chlorite and hypochlorite), growth regulators, their concentrationsand combinations, Agar, pH, ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) and number of subcultures. Mercuric chlorite at0.07% and exposing time (9–10 min) was appropriate for hygienic culture. The shoots induced by Benzyladnine(BA) alone or in combination with α-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) exhibited maximum multiplicationwith symptoms of hyperhydricity than those induced by Kinetin alone or in combination with NAA. Hyperhydricitywas also reduced by increasing the concentration of agar, pH and elimination of NH4NO3 from themacroelements of Murashig and Skoog (MS) medium. Repeated subcultures affected both multiplication andhyperhydricity. The multiplication of shoots increased from parental culture up to 5th subculture and thereafterdeclined in 6th subculture. Although shoot hyperhydricity were observed from 1st subculture (19%) andthen increased up to 85% in 6th subculture. This increased in hyperhydricity could be due to the remaininginfluence of hormones. In shoots of 5th subculture the content of chlorophyll (dark green) were higher thanshoots of 6th subculture.

In the case of poor germination of seed samples and minimal number of seedlings obtained, in vitro methods can be used to revitalise and recover the gene resource. The highest germination of meadow vetchling (Lathyrus pratensis L.) seeds was achieved after scarification with H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> and cultivation in MS medium. The seedlings were used as a material for micropropagation. Regeneration passed through nodal segments cultivated on basal MS medium solidified with a combination of agar and phytagel. This culture medium was also suitable for the plant maintenance. An addition of cytokinin to the induction medium did not support multiplication and growth. In the basal MS medium rooted 72.5% (gene resource 62) or 42.5% (gene resource 28) of shoots. The rooting of gene resource 28 was increased to 63% by the addition of indolylbutyric acid to the culture medium. The regenerated plants were successfully transferred to the soil. This protocol can be used to rescue gene resources of this species. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Gerbera plant Gerbera jamesonii is classified according to the flower colors to four strains: white, yellow, pink and purple. Capitulum and scape explants were tested on MS medium in half or full salts strength, supplemented with different combinations of plant growth regulators cytokinins kintin (Kin) and benzel adinine (BA), auxin indolacitic acid (IAA). Results revealed that the capitulum showed better response to shoot formation 64.13% whereas the scape did not show response. Yellow flowers showed higher response in shoot formation 37.5% than other strains. growth regulators combination BA and IAA (3.0 + 0.1) mg/L respectively showed better response for shoot multiplication. Auxin IBA (0.5) mg/ L gave better rooting percentage 60% than other auxins IAA and NAA all concentrations. The acclimatization of the gerbera was 78.59%.
