<p class="IsiAbstrakIndo"><em>Justicia gendarussa </em>Burm.f., a medicinal plant, is Acanthaceae that has many functions. Furthermore, the compounds in gendarussa must be produced in high quantity and quality by applying callus culture method. Accordingly, it is important to study the effects of plant growth regulators (2,4-D, IBA, and BAP) on callus induction of gendarussa leaves. This research design utilized a factorial design with two factors (2,4-D and IBA: 0.5, 1, 1.5 mg/L and BAP: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 mg/L). The experiment consisted of 24 treatments, each of which was repeated 3 times. Observation was carried out in 6 weeks. Data on the time of callus formation, percentage of explants formed callus, and callus morphology were analyzed descriptively,while data on fresh and dry weight were analyzed by Two-Way ANOVA (<span>α</span> = 0.5). Interestingly, the results showed that various concentration of plant growth regulators (2,4-D, IBA, and BAP) affected callus induction from leaf explants of gendarussa. We concluded that the most optimal treatment combination of concentration of plant growth regulators in inducing callus from leaf explants of gendarussa is 1.5 mg/L 2,4-D and 2 mg/L BAP with a relatively long period of callus formation at the earliest, i.e. on day 5, 2.247 g of fresh weight, 0.108 gof dry weight, white callus translucent, and friable. <span lang="EN-GB">Moreover, t</span>he optimum treatment will be used to produce secondary metabolite and seed s<span lang="EN-GB">y</span>nthetic by cell suspension culture.</p>

Leaf explants were cultured to evaluate the effect of different auxins and cytokinins and its concentrations; MS salts on micropropagation of the promising biodiesel Jatropha curcas plant under Egyptian conditions. Results showed that shoot initiated on 0.5 mg/l BA + 0.25 mg/l IBA. Multiplication and elongation were found to be the best using 0.5 mg/l BA in combination with 0.05 mg/l IBA. The multiple shoots were cultured on MS or half strength of MS supplemented with different concentrations of IAA and IBA for rooting phase. Half strength of MS containing 1.0 mg/l IAA was the best for rooting of micropropagated shoots. The rooted plantlets were acclimated in sand : peat?moss mixture (1 : 1) successfully.Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 26(1): 85-96, 2016 (June)

Lulo is a species of great importance to the fruticulture of Colombia, but has significant phytosanitary problems that require an aggressive breeding program oriented toward the production of genotypes with tolerance to phytopathogens. These programs need to establish highly efficient mass plant propagation protocols, such as somatic embryogenesis. This study focused on research on the somatic embryogenesis of lulo using kinetin, naphthalene acetic acid-NAA (Plant Growth Regulators, PGRs), and different sucrose concentrations in a MS medium. Two lulo varieties, Solanum quitoense var. septentrionale and S. quitoense var. quitoense, and two explant types (hypocotyl and cotyledon) were used, incubated in dark conditions at 25±2°C. The highest production percentage of the embryos was obtained when 50 mM of NAA were added to the medium with sucrose (50.0 and 263.1 mM) for the two explant types used. In lulo with spines, the highest percentage of embryonic structures (50%) was observed with cotyledonary leaf explants and 50 mM of NAA ; while in the spineless lulo, the embryonic structures were observed in the same type of explant with 50 mM of NAA + 263.1 mM of sucrose (32%).
