This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of different plant growth regulators (PGRs) on callus induction in Salvia tebesana explants grown in vitro and to evaluate the content of secondary phenolic compounds and their antioxidant potential. The explants (shoot apical meristem, leaf and petiole) were dissected from an 8-week-old plant of S. tebesana growing in vitro and cultured on MS media containing different concentrations of 2,4-D (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mg L-1), NAA (0, 0.5 and 1 mg L-1) and BAP (0, 0.5 and 1 mg L-1), either alone or in a blend with each other. Morphological characteristics of the callus (consistency and colour), biomass increase based on fresh and dry weight and the percentage of induction were recorded after 56 days. Levels of total phenols, ortho-diphenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins and flavonols of callus, as well as antioxidant activities, were evaluated in vitro. The maximum callus formation (100%) was obtained from shoot apical meristem on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 and 1.5 mg L-1 2,4-D + 1 mg L-1 BAP and with 1 and 1.5 mg L-1 2,4-D + 0.5 mg L-1 BAP, whereas the highest fresh (15.06 ? 0.88 g) and dry (0.33 ? 0.02 g) weights of call were observed in a medium containing1.5 mg L-1 2,4-D + 0.5 mg L-1 NAA. It was noted that MS media augmented with combined PGRs had the highest accumulation of polyphenols, phenolic acids and flavonoid compounds, with levels of content varying in the following order: 2,4-D + BAP > NAA + BAP > 2,4-D + NAA. Strong linear correlations were established between total phenolic content of callus extracts and results of the DPPH and FRAP assays (r2 = 0.896 and r2 = 0.946, p < 0.01, respectively). The obtained results suggest that the described method could be utilised as a tool for large-scale production of medicinal metabolites of S. tebesana by tissue culture.

Abstract Rose is the most popular ornamental flower all over the world, which is used as garden plants and cut flowers. In the case of Rosa hybrida L. ’Red Rose’, flowering provides the major developmental transition from the vegetative to the reproductive stage, and reproduction is one of the most important phases in an organism’s life cycle. In this study, the morphological and physiological changes during the flower development of rose, which is planted in the garden, and roles of plant growth regulators on the flowering of in vitro vegetative shoots of rose were analyzed. The development of a flower includes three stages: the shoot apical meristem, floral meristem, floral bud. Levels of cytokinin, auxins, and gibberellins increased in the transition of meristem from the shoot apical meristem to the floral meristem stage. Plant growth regulators have important effects on the shoot apical meristem cell division and flowering. The combination of 0.5 mg.L−1 GA3, 0.1 mg.L−1 NAA, 2.5 or 3.0 mg.L−1 BA to Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium induces the floral transition of the in vitro vegetative shoots with the highest percentage (41%) as well as growth and development in comparison to the other treatments after 10 weeks. Then, the in vitro floral meristem continuously developed into a flower bud after 12 weeks.

Growth regulators especially auxins and cytokinins are critical for plant in-vitro regeneration. The effect of these plant growth regulators on in-vitro propagation of Saccharum officinarum L (Sugarcane) was investigated. In vitro response of two different varieties of sugarcane (NCS 005 and NCS 008) to Plant Growth Regulators was obtained in this study. Formation of buds was obtained on shoot apical meristem when cultured on MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium supplemented with 0.1mg/l BAP (6-Benzylaminopurine). After two weeks of initiation, regenerated meristem was inoculated into MS (Murashige and Skoog) fortified with different concentrations and combination of cytokinins. Shoot multiplication was optimal on 0.5mg/l BAP + 0.25 mg/l Kin(Kinetin) for NCS 005 variety while for NCS 008 variety, no significant (P≥0.05) difference was observed between 1.5mg/l BAP and 1.5mg/l BAP +0.5mg/l Kin. The best root induction for in vitro derived shoots was obtained on 1.0 mg/l NAA (Naphthalene acetic acid) and 2.0 mg/l IBA( Indole butyric acid) for both varieties of sugarcane within ten days of culture transfer. Successfully established plantlets showed excellent growth response when weaned under regulated green house conditions.

Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is an oil bearing crop growing in tropical and subtropical parts of the world. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of different plant growth regulators on in vitro callus induction in physic nut (J. curcus). In the present study, it was observed that all the explants viz., leaf lamina, petioles, nodal segments and cotyledonary nodes showed good callus induction responses on various culture media thus tried. Leaf lamina and petioles showed 100.0% callus induction responses on different MS media supplemented with auxins and cytokinins alone or in combinations whereas, nodal segments and cotyledonary nodes showed maximum 89.6% and 83.9% callus induction respectively. The presence of 2, 4-D in culture media with auxins or cytokinins was essential for good callus growth. Among different explants tried, leaf lamina was the best responding explants and MS-13 media supplemented with 5×10-6 M NAA and 10-5 M 2, 4-D is the best callusing and growth supporting medium. However, the regenerative competence of the callus tissues can differ depending on the type of explants used because certain types of plant tissues have more favorable regeneration responses than others. Callus induction rate from all explant types was highest than other reports. The results obtained in the present study would facilitate the high callus induction and regeneration responses in J. curcus for its improvement using biotechnological tools.

The effect of explant sources and plant growth regulators on callus induction and plantlet regeneration of Trachyspermum copticum were explored. Different explants including hypocotyl, cotyledonary node and leaf were cultured on MS supplemented with different combinations and concentrations of plant growth regulators including 2,4‐D (0.2‐3 0.5 mg/l), NAA (2 mg/l), BAP (1‐3 mg/l), Kn (0.5 mg/l) and IAA (0.8 mg/l). The best response for callus induction (100%) as well as quality was observed from cotyldonary node segments cultured on MS supplemented with 2, 4‐D at 1 mg/l in combination with Kn at 0.5 mg/l. Calli derived from various explants were subcultured on shoot induction media with different compositions and concentrations of medium. MS without any plant growth regulator promoted the highest frequency of shoot regeneration (100%) and also mean number of developed shoots per explants (3.8) showed the same result. Regenerated shoots were then rooted on three‐fourth strength MS with 75% efficiency after 30 days.Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 27(1): 13-20, 2017 (June)

Taraxacum officinale (L.) Weber ex F.H. Wigg, commonly known as dandelion, is a cosmopolitan and perennial weed, which has medicinal properties. In vitro propagation methods are widely used on plants that have difficulties in cultivation and, consequently, low extraction yields of active metabolites. Thus, callus culture has been considered to be useful for the accumulation of several metabolites. In this study, we aimed to establish an efficient protocol for callus induction and maintenance of T. officinale, for which explant type, carbon source, light conditions, and nine different combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs), such as 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) (from 0.05 to 0.5 mg/L) and 6-benzylaminopurine acid (BAP) (from 0.5 to 3.0 mg/L), were evaluated. The results showed that hypocotyls and roots from sterile seedlings are the best sources for callus induction, with 100% of callogenesis at every condition tested, and more than 95% of viability and friability. Complete darkness and a medium supplemented with sucrose at 2.3% (w/v) and 0.5 mg/L of NAA and 0.5 mg/L of BAP were the best conditions for callus induction, showing callus with low organogenesis and high friability. This study provides a basis for future studies on improving large-scale callus propagation and further establishment of suspension culture systems for commercial purposes.
