Cymbidium Aloifolium

A comparative study on in vitro seed germination and seedling development of Cymbidium aloifolium (L.) Sw., an epiphytic medicinal orchid, was carried out on four different conditions of Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Knudson (KC) medium viz. full, ½. ¼ strength and medium supplemented with 0.5mg/l BAP (benzyl amino purine) and 0.5mg/l NAA (Naphthalene acetic acid). Varied response in terms of seed germination, protocorm formation and seedling development was observed on two different media. Medium supplemented with hormones favored optimum condition for the germination (approx. 90%) of seeds followed by full, ½ and ¼ strength on both MS & KC media. MS medium supplemented with 0.5mg/l BAP and 0.5mg/l NAA showed comparatively better response within 7 weeks of culture than other conditions of MS medium as well as KC medium. Based upon the results, it was found that MS medium was more effective than KC medium for germination, protocorm and plantlet formation. The present study has provided useful information that the high concentration of nutrient compounds supplemented with hormones are required for earlier in-vitro germination and plantlet development from immature seeds of C. aloifolium. It could be an important protocol to conserve this important orchid species by establishing an efficient in vitro regeneration system using immature seed culture.

In vitro seed germination and seedling development of Phaius tancarvilleae (L’Her.) Blume. was carried out on 0.8%(w/v) agar solidified MS Medium (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) without hormones or supplemented with different concentration and combination of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l of BAP was the most ideal condition for early seed germination, protocorm formation and development of seedlings. Germination started after 7 weeks of culture and complete seedlings were obtained after 24 weeks of culture. This protocol might be helpful for mass propagation of orchids by asymbiotic seed germination.

Salvia miltiorrhiza (commonly known in China as Danshen) is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is applied in the treatment of many diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease. Commercial propagation of Danshen is carried out either through seed germination or in vitro regeneration (micropropagation). However, it is not clear if the different propagation methods affect the chemical properties of the derived plants. In the present study, we first established a highly efficient tissue culture system for Danshen propagation. The addition of 1.0 mg·L−1 6-benzyladenine (BA) and 0.1 mg·L−1 α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) to Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium was optimal for inducing adventitious shoots; the highest rate of rooting was recorded on MS medium with 0.2 mg·L−1 NAA, on which the survival rate of transplanted plantlets was 95%. Next, we assessed antioxidant properties in the different tissues of plants of the same age, derived from micropropagation or seed germination, and measured tanshinone, total phenol, and total flavonoid contents. Our results showed that tissues of micropropagated plantlets had higher antioxidant activities than tissues of seed-derived plantlets; the micropropagated plantlets also had higher tanshinone contents in their roots. Thus, a rapid and efficient micropropagation system was established for Danshen, and it can be used for cultivating this plant to obtain therapeutic compounds.

Black Gram (Vigna mungo L.), widely known as Mashkalai in Bangladesh is an important protein source used as human food as well as fodder. BARI Mash 2 is a popular black gram variety released by Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute (BARI) which is cultivated throughout the country and very popular especially in the char areas. Establishment of a reliable regeneration system for BARI Mash 2 has been tried for further genetic improvement. A rapid, reproducible and efficient in vitro regeneration method was developed using hypocotyl and young leaf explants through callus formation. The frequency of callus formation was highest (75%) on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with a high concentration (31.66 ?M) of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) using the young leaf as explants’ source. Callus induction rate was less in hypocotyls in the same medium. No further progress was observed from those calluses. MS medium containing 16.11?M of ?- Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) showed the 70% calli induction from hypocotyls segment. These calli were amenable to produce multiple shoots (5-6 shoot) in the medium containing 17.75 ?M of 6 Benzyl aminopurine (BAP) alone and the combination of BAP (17.75 ?M ) and NAA (2.68 ?M). Shoots were rooted most effectively (55%) in half strength MS basal medium containing 7.38 ?M of Indole-butyric Acid (IBA). Well rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized, transferred to the soil and found to produce flowers and fruits. The efficient and reproducible regeneration protocol described here allows for successful in vitro regeneration of BARI Mash 2 that is vital for future genetic manipulation.Jahangirnagar University J.

Yadav, I. S. and Singh, N. P. 2012. An effective protocol for improved regeneration capacity of Kabuli chickpeas. Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 1057–1064. An efficient protocol for in vitro regeneration is essential for genetic manipulation and micro-propagation of important plant species. A direct shoot regeneration system has been optimized for Desi chickpeas, but an effective regeneration protocol is still needed for Kabuli chickpeas. An efficient regeneration protocol for Kabuli chickpeas was developed, using whole embryonic axes, an embryonic axes slice and cotyledonary node explants from two genotypes L550 and JGK-1. Depending upon chickpea genotype, type of explant and culture medium, percentage of shoot producing explants (frequency) and the number of shoots per explant (efficiency) varied from 10 to 83% and from 1 to 58, respectively. The shoot regeneration capacity (SRC=frequency×efficiency), which is an indicator of the effectiveness of the protocol, varied from 47 to 2508 shoots per 100 explants cultured. On average, SRC of L550 was 1.8 times higher than JGK-1. Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium+B5 vitamins supplemented with 8.0 µM benzyl amino purine (BAP)+0.5 µM α- naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 0.1 M sucrose plus embryonic axes was found to be the most effective culture medium and type of explants, respectively. Half strength MS medium+2% sucrose supplemented with 4 µM NAA, 3µ M IAA or 4µM IAA produced a high rooting percentage in both chickpea genotypes. The regeneration process starting from explant preparation to establishment of a complete plant in soil took 105–110 d. This optimized regeneration method holds promise for facilitating the insertion of interested genes through genetic transformation for improvement of Kabuli chickpeas.

In vitro embryo morphogenesis and micropropagation of Dendrobium aggregatum Roxb. were described. The gradual developmental stages of embryos to seedlings were traced out. Within two weeks of culture the cells of undifferented embryos underwent repeated aniclinal and periclinal division producing a compact, green parenchymatous cell mass called spherule that emerged out by rupturing the testa. The spherules subsequently differentiated into greenish protocorms were considered as typical seed germination. Germination occurred on both (MS and Phytamax (PM) medium but MS medium proved to be more efficient. The primary protocorms underwent profuse proliferation through production of secondary (2º) protocorms when transferred to different plant growth regulators (PGRs) supplemented MS; the medium fortified with 2.0 mg/l BAP and 1.0 mg/l NAA proved to be most effective for induction of 2º protocorms and seedling development. Multiple shoot buds (MSBs) were induced in pseudobulb segments of the in vitro grown seedlings when cultured on different PGRs supplemented media; and the maximum number of MSBs were obtained MS + 2.0 mg/l BAP + 0.5 mg/l picloram. The MSBs underwent elongation and then they rooted when they were transferred to half strength of MS + 0.5 mg/l IAA. The well rooted plantlets were finally transferred to outside natural environment with 80% survival. D. O.

An efficient in vitro regeneration system was developed for Rauvolfia serpentina L. through direct and indirect organogenesis from nodal and leaf explants. Among the different growth regulators, MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP, 0.5mg/l IAA and 0.02mg/l NAA found best for the multiple shoot formation from nodal segments. In this combination 98% explants produced multiple shoots and the average number of shoots per explants is 13∙4. The frequency of callus induction and multiple shoot induction from leaves was highest 88% in MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP, where mean number of shoots/explants was 12.5. The highest frequency of root induction (80%) and mean number of roots/plantlets (10) were obtained on half strength of MS medium containing 0.2 mg/l IBA. The rooted plantlets were transferred for hardening following acclimatization and finally were successfully established in the field.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.53(2), 133-138, 2018

The present study reports a simple protocol for in vitro regeneration of Aglaonema ‘Valentine’ using axillary shoot explants for rapid multiplication and production of true-to-type plants. Different concentrations of benzyladenine (BA; 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 mg·L−1), kinetin (Kin; 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 mg·L−1), thidiazuron (TDZ; 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg·L−1), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA; 0, 0.5, and 1.0 mg·L−1), and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA; 0, 0.5, and 1.0 mg·L−1) were used for shoot regeneration. The highest shoot proliferation (5.0) was obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.5 mg·L−1 TDZ and 1 mg·L−1 NAA. In vitro rooting was easily achieved with 100% at all concentrations of NAA and IBA supplemented to half- or full-strength MS medium. Regenerated plantlets were acclimatized in greenhouse with 100% survival rate. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis confirmed the genetic fidelity of the regenerated plantlets and mother plant.

Introduction: The present research work was undertaken with a view to developing a suitable protocol for in vitro plant regeneration of economically important plant (Glycine max) (Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute BARI- 5) variety, via both direct and indirect organogenesis from in vitro grown seedlings. Methods: For micropropagation explants were cultured on MS and half strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various plant growth regulators (cytokinins and auxins). In the present study for inducting of callus, among 3 different hormone combinations, the suitable medium was 3.32 mg/L 2, 4-D containing MS medium and the callus was deep green in color. Different type of media like MS, 1/2 MS and MS with different (6-Benzyl Amino Purine) BAP concentration was used for seed germination of Glycine max. 100% of seed germination was observed in MS +1 mg/L BAP containing the medium. Results: In the present investigation, different concentration of cytokinins and auxins{BAP, 2, 4-D, and Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA)} were used individually or in combinations with MS medium to observe their effect on multiple shoot regeneration from the cotyledonary nodal segment. 100% shoot formation from cotyledonary nodal segment was recorded in 1.5 mg/L BAP and 0.15 mg/L BAP + 0.025 mg/L NAA containing MS medium, the best number of shoot was 10.9±2.0 found in MS + 1.5 mg/L BAP containing medium and highest length of shoot was 2 cm recorded in 1.5 mg/L BAP + 0.3 mg/L (different concentrations of Giberrellic acid) GA3 containing MS medium. In addition, for root induction in vitro raised well developed and elongated shoots were excised and cultured on MS and 1/2 MS medium supplemented with various concentration of Indole-3-Butyric acid (IBA). It was observed that MS medium containing 0.1 mg/L IBA and 1/2 MS medium containing 0.25 mg/L IBA was optimal for root induction. In which 100% shoots rooted well within 13 days of culture. The highest average number of roots per shoot was 6 recorded in MS +0.5 mg/L IBA containing the medium and highest average length of root was 8 cm recorded in 0.1 mg/L IBA containing MS medium. Conclusion: The most effective surface sterilization treatment for explants of Glycine max has been found in 0.1% HgCl2 solution for 15 minutes.

The present work was carried out to investigate the effects of gamma radiation on regeneration of Capsicum annuum L. var Kulai via in vitro. Seeds of C. annuum were irradiated with various doses of gamma ray (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 Gy) emitted from the Caesium-137 source at the rate of 4.31 Gy per minute. Irradiated seeds grown on MS medium without hormone for hypocotyl and cotyledon preparation as explant for in vitro regeneration. Seed germination rate revealed significant variation between treatments, and seeds started to germinate between 6 to 17 days. Irradiated seeds between 0-60 Gy were observed to germinate in less than 10 days. All explants including hypocotyl and cotyledon were cultured on MS medium with different concentrations of BAP in combination with AgNO3 to observe the response of these explants to different hormone concentrations. From the observation, calluses were induced in 90% of hypocotyl and cotyledon explants in all treatments. The characteristics of calluses were varied with greenish friable, greenish compact, yellowish watery, yellowish friable and yellowish compact. In other treatments, calluses were found in purple, bright yellow and yellowish orange. On the other hand, shoot regeneration was observed in treatment between 40-100 Gy. In conclusion, gamma radiation gave impact on seed germination, seedling growth performance, in vitro callus formation and shoot regeneration of Capsicum annuum var. Kulai

A comparative study of in vitro seed germination of two endangered orchid species, viz. Cymbidium elegans Lindl. and Dendrobium densiflorum Lindl. ex Wall., was carried out on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium, supplemented with different concentrations and combination of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and á-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The hormone-free MS medium and MS medium supplemented with various growth hormones were found effective for in vitro seed germination of both species. However, the seeds of these two species showed variation in their germination behavior. Hormone-free MS basal medium was found most effective for seed germination of D. densiflorum; whereas, basal medium supplemented with BAP (1mg/l) was effective for C. elegans. The seeds of D. densiflorum showed quick response in earlier germination, protocorm formation and further development into seedlings in comparison to C. elegans. In C. elegans, germination of immature seeds started after nine weeks of inoculation; whereas in D. densiflorum, the initiation of germination started after five weeks of culture. The variations in seed germination, protocorm formation and seedling differentiation in the two orchid species might be due to the differences in their genetic constitution and the presence of different endogenous growth stimulating substances present in their seeds. The present study has provided useful information for in vitro clonal mass multiplication of these commercially important orchid species.
