Eustoma grandiflorum (Raf.) Shinn. 'Echo' Fl cultivars ('Echo White', 'Echo Rose', 'Echo Blue', 'Echo Blue Picotee') were used and multiplication of shoots was evaluated on Murashige and Skoog (1962) basal medium with 11 g/1 agar-agar and 20 g/1 sucrose. To test the effect of BA different concentrations were added: 0.10, 0.25 mg/1 and a culture medium without BA. Differentiation of roots was examined on Jámbor-Benczúr and Marta (1990) basal medium with the same concentration of agar-agar and sucrose. To examine the effect on rooting, various concentrations of NAA were used: 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 mg/l. The pH was adjusted to 5.6 in every case using KOH. We studied the after-effect of different concentrations of BA during the acclimatisation. During the multiplication, the cultivar 'Echo White' formed the most shoots and the smallest leaves on the medium with 0.10 mg/1 BA. Fortunately, in the case of this cultivar, the number of shoots was reduced and the length of leaves was increased succesfully on the medium without BA. The other three cultivars developed the longest leaves on the medium containing 0.10 mg/1 BA. Sometimes not only shoot regeneration but spontaneous rooting was observed during the multiplication. Examining the rooting, the highest percent of roots was found on the medium with 1.0 mg/1 NAA, and the cultivar 'Echo Rose' formed the most roots on this medium. Higher concentration (2.0 and 3.0 mg/1) of NAA already reduced the number of roots in all of the cultivars. During the acclimatisation, the percentage of survival was 76.3% and the tallest plants with the longest leaves were found on the multiplication medium with 0.25 mg/1 BA. 'Echo Blue Picotee' gave the best results with the tallest pieces and longest leaves on this medium.

Krymsk® 5 (VSL-2) is a semi-dwarf cherry rootstock adaptable to a range of climates. The present study aimed to establish the first efficient in vitro propagation protocol for this rootstock. Therefore, six cytokinines, four adenine type (6-benzyladenine, 2-isopentenyladenine, kinetin and meta-topolin) and two phenylureas (thidiazuron and forchlorfenuron) at three (2.4 μΜ, 4.8 μΜ and 9.6 μΜ) concentrations plus three (0.24 μΜ, 0.48 μΜ, 0.96 μΜ) for thidiazuron only were tested during the multiplication stage. 6-Benzyladenine was the most efficient cytokinin, based on the number of shoots produced (3.5 shoots at 9.6 μΜ) and the number of nodes per explant (10 nodes at 9.6 μΜ) whereas the other aromatic adenine tested, i.e. meta-topolin, presented the highest number of nodes per cm and node per shoot. During the rooting stage the synthetic auxins 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (1-NAA) and indolebutyric acid (IBA) were tested at concentrations of 0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 μΜ both separately and in all possible combinations. The percentage of successfully rooted explants reached 95% under the combination of 20 μΜ IBA plus 5 μΜ 1-NAA, whereas the highest number of roots recorded was 8.5 roots for the treatment 20 μΜ ΙΒΑ plus 2.5 μΜ 1-NAA. Furthermore, two different carbon sources were compared, the widely used sucrose and the endogenous sugar ratio of mother plant softwood shoot, sampled during late of May. Endogenous sugar ratio proved to be the preferable carbon source, since it increased the number of shoots produced and almost doubled the number of produced nodes per explant.

<p>O trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver um protocolo de micropropagação de segmentos nodais de anador (<em>Justicia pectoralis</em>). Para isso foram realizados dois experimentos. O delineamento estatístico utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com 15 repetições. Os segmentos de <em>J. pectoralis</em>, após desinfestados, foram cultivados em meio MS durante 30 dias. No primeiro experimento, esse material foi repicado em três meios de cultura (MS, WPM e B5) e após 77 dias foram avaliados comprimento de plântula, número de raízes, número de folhas e o número de segmentos nodais. Para o segundo experimento foram testadas duas citocininas (BAP e Cinetina) nas seguintes dosagens 0,0; 0,5; 5,0 e 20,0 mM. Aos 60 dias após a repicagem foram avaliadas as seguintes características: números de folhas, número de raízes e número de explantes por planta. O meio MS foi o que apresentou maior comprimento de plântula. As demais variáveis não diferiram entre os meios utilizados. Por isso o meio MS foi utilizado para o segundo experimento onde se verificou que a utilização de BAP proporcionou maior número de folhas e de explantes quando submetido à concentração de 20 mM. Dessa forma, para multiplicação de seg <em>Justicia pectoralis</em>, recomenda-se a utilização de meio MS com adição de 20mM de BAP.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>In vitro propagation of </em></strong><em>Justicia pectoralis<strong></strong></em></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>The study aimed to establish a micropropagation protocol for <em>Justicia pectoralis</em> nodal segments.

In the first experiment, the plant material was transferred to three culture media (MS, WPM and B5). The length of seedlings, number of roots, number of leaves, and number of nodal segments were evaluated at 77 days after transferring. In the second experiment two cytokinins (BAP and Kinetin) were tested in the following concentrations: 0.0; 0.5; 5.0 and 20.0 mM. At 60 days after transplanting the number of leaves, number of roots and number of explants per plant were evaluated. The MS medium induced the highest length of seedlings, but there was no effect for the other variables. Therefore, this medium was used for the second experiment, when it was found that BAP induced a larger number of leaves and explants when applied at 20 mM. Therefore, for multiplying <em>J. pectoralis</em> nodal segments we recommend the use of MS medium with 20 mM BAP.</p>

Papaya is one of tropical fruits native to Southern Mexico and which have been cultivated in Indonesia for a longtime. Papaya is usually propagated by seeds. Therefore, the offsprings are not true-to-type. This study was conducted todevelop a protocol of in vitro propagation of papaya ‘Sukma’ from shoot tips of in vitro germinated seeds as explants. Seedswere extracted from fruit that physiologically ripe and it germinated on MS basal medium. The experiment was set up in arandomized block design with culturing day as blocks (four blocks) and various concentrations of BA (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and2.0 mg L-1) in MS medium enriched with NAA 0.5 mg L-1 as treatment. Shoot tips in the MS medium without plant growthregulator as control so there was six treatments and 24 observation units. Each observation units contained five culturevessels and each culture vessels contained four explants. The results showed that the highest number of shoots, number ofleaves, number of nodes, and percentage of explant forming callus were obtained by BA 1.0-1.5, 1.0-2.0, 0.5-2.0, and 1.0-1.5 mg L-1, respectively. The highest percentage of explant forming roots were obtained in medium without BA. Analysis ofregression showed that the optimum concentration to get the highest number of shoots and leaves were BA 1.31 and 1.35 mgL-1, while explants will be rooted in medium without BA. Thus, in vitro propagation for papaya ‘Sukma’ should be conductedin two steps, i.e. for shooting and rooting growth.

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed at improving the efficiency of the in vitro regeneration of Alstroemeria cv. ‘Balance’ protocol through direct organogenesis technique using three different origins of explants (nodal stem, rhizome apical bud, rhizome segments) as two separate factorial experiments with completely randomized design with six replications which were implemented in three stages. Firstly, Direct regeneration, including two factorial experiments to induce regeneration in organogenesis media by utilizing the four NAA concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 2 mg/l) combined with five BAP concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 mg/l) in the first experiment, and TDZ concentrations (0, 0.5, 10 mg/l) in combination with three IBA concentrations (0, 1, 2 mg/l) in the second experiment. Secondly, shoot regeneration and elongation of stems in regenerated buds in the MS basal medium and finally, rooting of the regenerated shoots in the root induction mediums by NAA and IBA. Results of regeneration experiment revealed that, in the culture medium containing 10 mg/l TDZ in combination with 2 mg/l IBA and rhizome apical bud explants, the maximum rates of regeneration percentage, the highest number and length of the shoots were produced. Resulted shoots produced the greatest number of roots and rhizomes in the culture medium comprising 1 mg/l NAA in combination with 2 mg/l IBA as auxins. From the two tested explants, rhizome apical bud, was known as the best explants for shoot regeneration obtained plantlets successfully adapted to environmental conditions and were transferred to the greenhouse. Results of current study indicated that Alstroemeria can be produced through direct organogenesis.

The influence of growth regulators, explants and their interactions on in vitro shoot bud formation from callus was studied in <I>Dianthus caryophyllus</I> L. The leaf and internode explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing different concentrations of growth regulators. The highest callus induction was observed with 2 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and 1 mg/l benzyl adenine (BA). Out of twenty seven shoot regeneration media tested, only 2 mg/l thidiazuron (TDZ) and zeatin alone or in combination with naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and/or indole acetic acid (IAA) could differentiate calli. The highest average number of shoots was observed with 2 mg/l TDZ and 1 mg/l IAA. Significant differences were observed in calli producing shoots and number of shoots per callus in the explants of leaf and internode. The shoots were elongated and multiplied on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l BA and solidified with 1% agar. The shoots were rooted and hardened with 76% survival success in pots after six weeks of transfer to the pots.

Callusogenesis and regeneration ability of cotyledon and hypocotyl explants from three Bulgarian pepper varieties in MS basal medium supplemented with l-3mg/l BAP. l.0mg/1 IAA and 0.5mg/l GA3 was studied. In the different variants of culture medium was registered high level of callusogenesis and organogenesis in both type of explants from the all varieties. The highest percentage of plant-regenerants is established in cotyledon explants (from 3.3 to 18.3) in variant 3 of the culture medium containing 3mg/l BA. In the process of micropropagation by stem explants of the same studied pepper varieties the addition of the vitamins C. B12. Casein hydrolysate and Ferulic acid had a stimulation effect on the plant growth in height and rooting. In result of anther cultivation from three pepper varieties and four breeding lines the highest percentage of embryo structure formation was registered in varieties Albena and Strjama (12.0 and 13.8 respectively). The Bulgarian peppers are recalcitrant and their in vitro answer is different depending from the explants type, genotype and the culture media composition.

Laurus nobilis L. is among the species which are most threatened by massive degradation in Morocco. The multiplication by seed or by cuttings gives very low percentages of recovery that is insufficient to meet the demand of growing market. In vitro culture proves to be a tremendous asset to solve this problem. Our work has focused on the study of seed germination of this species and its multiplication from microcuttings. Finally, we studied the ac-climatization ability of the plantlets resulting from this germination. The study of the germination, via the further measurement of the length of the aerial part and the roots and the number of axillary buds for nine weeks, showed that the MS basal medium was more efficient than media 1/2M.S and WPM. Among the eight tested hormones, IAA yielded the best growth of the plantlets. Hormonal combination of NAA and kinetin resulted into a per-centage of the greatest success in reaching 67 % micropropagation. The study also revealed that the MS basal medium in the presence of the IAA plants can acclimate most easily in two types of substrates with improved development in the peat alone.

An experiment was conducted on in vitro regeneration and multiplication of Dendrobium bensoniae. Different concentrations of BA and IBA alone or combination of both hormones were used as treatment for regeneration.  It was revealed that shoot regeneration from node was the best at 2.0 mg/l BA supplemented to MS medium. It gave better responses than all other concentrations and combinations of BA and BA+IBA, used in the present study. The highest number of shoots and leaves were found when 1.0 mg/l BA with 1.5 mg/l IBA was supplemented into MS medium.  For rooting, 0.5 mg/l BA with 1.0 mg/l IBA was found to be the most effective. The well-rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized under 70-80% humidity and planted in pots and transferred to the shade house for establishment. Around 85% of plantlets survived in the field. From the present result, it may be recommended that MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BA may be used for rapid shoot induction and regeneration of D. bensoniae.The Agriculturists 2016; 14(2) 24-31
