Artificial Seed Production

Context: The application of encapsulated shoot tips and nodal segments may contribute to the protection of rare and threatened medicinal plants. Although the artificial seed technique has been reported for more than two decades, for medicinal plants this method has not been developed sufficiently. The main limitations in conventional propagation of some species with medicinal value are: reduced endosperm, low germination rate and seedless varieties. The above mentioned reasons indicate the need for the production of artificial seeds as a technique which combines the advantages of clonal multiplication with those of seed propagation and storage. Objectives: The objective of the present investigation was to standardize artificial seed production technology taking shoot tip and nodal explants in Mentha arvensis and its in vitro regeneration Materials and Methods: Sodium alginate beads were produced by encapsulation of shoot tip and nodal segments of the plant M. arvensis. MS medium was used as basal medium with agar and sodium alginate was used as gelling agent accompanied by CaCl2 solution. Results: Different concentrations and combinations of BAP, Kin and NAA were used in alginate bead in MS basal medium. Among the different concentrations of phytohormone, highest 80% of shoot formation was observed in MS medium containing 2.0 mg/l BAP + 0.2 mg/l NAA from nodal segments of M. arvensis. Highest average number of shoot 9.87 ± 0.58 formation was obtained in the same medium but highest length of shoot 6.27 ± 0.29 cm was found in the medium having 1.0 mg/l BAP + 0.5 mg/l NAA. Conclusion: The present investigation clearly established and demonstrated the method of obtaining the artificial seed production in M. arvensis supported by different hormone concentrations DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbs.v20i0.17722 J. bio-sci.  20:  99-108, 2012

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

Abstract The in vitro regeneration potential of shoot apical tips (2 to 3 mm in length), meristems (0.3 to 0.5 mm in length), and nodal segments (4 to 7 mm long with an axillary bud) of diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and triploid (2n = 3x = 30) cytotypes of Arachis pintoi was evaluated. Explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and benzyladenine (BA). In one experiment the effect of gibberellic acid was tested. The cultures were done in liquid and solid media. Plant regeneration can be readily achieved from all explants in one step of 30 d culture on MS + 0.01 mg/L each of NAA and BA or two steps consisting of 1) shoots regeneration through culture of explants on MS + 0.01 mg/L each of NAA and BA, and 2) induction of rooting in regenerated shoots by reculture on MS + 0.01 mg/L NAA. The plantlets were successfully transferred to pots in a greenhouse.

Artificial seed technology is a rapidly growing area of research in plant cell and tissue culture. Application of this technology opens an alternative route for mass scale production, efficient delivery of cloned plantlets and fulfils the increasing demand of local growers. An attempt was made to produce artificial seeds and their subsequent regeneration of a highly valuable medicinal orchid of Nepal i.e. Cymbidium aloifolium. Artificial seeds were obtained through encapsulation of protocorms in calcium alginate beads. Protocorms were encapsulated by using 3% sodium alginate and 0.2 M calcium chloride solution. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (1962) was used as the basal medium for in vitro germination and seedling development of artificial seed. In Cymbidium aloifolium, 20-25 days old in vitro grown protocorms were used for production of artificial seeds. Artificial seeds were inoculated on two different culture conditions of MS medium i.e. MS solid & MS liquid with four different treatments i.e. strength of 1.0, ½, ¼ and MS media supplemented with plant growth regulators viz. BAP (0.5 mg/l) and NAA (0.5 mg/l). Highest percentage of germination (100%) and plantlet conversion was found on hormone free full strength (1.0 MS) of MS liquid medium after 13-14 weeks of culture. Plantlets regenerated from artificial seeds with well developed shoot and root systems were successfully acclimatized in potting mixture of cocopeat, litter and sphagnum moss in a ratio 2:1:1.J. Nat.

In this present work, an in-vitro regeneration protocol for Crescentia alata (C. alata) was developed using various explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium augmented with different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs) for direct and indirect regeneration. The direct organogenesis was established from nodes and internodes on MS medium supplemented with cytokinins and auxins. The indirect organogenesis via callus phase was obtained from leaf, nodes and internodes on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of PGRs. The high frequency shoot organogenesis were achieved directly from nodal explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/L BAP+0.5 mg/L KIN +1.0 mg/L NAA. Indirect organogenesis callogenic frequency was optimized at the concentration of MS medium containing 1.0 mg/L BAP + 5.0 mg/L IAA. The callus was obtained from all the explants were used, among these explants internodal explants gave best result on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of cytokinins and auxins for indirect organogenesis experiment. Indirect organogenesis the highest number of shoot regeneration was obtained in MS Basal Medium with 4.0 mg/L BAP + 0.5 mg/L KIN + 2.0 mg/L NAA from internodal explants. For root formation the regenerative shoots which were sub cultured on MS medium containing different ratios of auxins. The rooted plantlets were transferred successfully to the pots containing sterilized soil and were successfully hardened at greenhouse condition for 20 days then exposed to the natural environment. This is the first successful micropropagation report of an efficient and rapid in-vitro clonal propagation protocol for C. alata by direct and indirect shoot organogenesis through various explants, which can be employed for conservation of this important medicinal tree species as well as the utilization of an biologically important active biomolecules. This protocol can be very useful to obtain plants from various explants, without the requirement of meristematic regions, enabling the obtainment of a higher number of plants in short period.

It has been previously demonstrated that thidiazuron (TDZ) enhanced the regeneration and multiple shoot proliferation of vinifera grape cultivars. To determine the effect of TDZ on the multiplication of hybrid grapes, in vitro nodal segments from cultivars Chancellor, Leon Millot, and Valiant were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg TDZ/liter. After 1 month, the higher percentage of rooted shoots was obtained from the explants cultured in medium containing the lowest concentration of TDZ (0.01 mg–liter–1) independent of the genotype. Multiple shoot proliferation was favored by high concentrations of TDZ (0.5 and 1.0 mg–liter–1). An average of 0.39 and 0.39 shoots, respectively, was obtained from `Chancellor' cultures, 0.56 and 0.59 from `Leon Millot', and 1.93 and 2.38 from `Valiant'. Vitrification and teratological structures were observed in all the cultures of the three genotypes, but less vitrification occurred in `Valiant' plantlets.

We can see Orchids come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colours, and textures far beyond the human mind’s imagination. They emerge from seeds in nature, but in the absence of suitable hosts, they do not germinate in sufficient numbers. This problem was solved by using the tissue culture technique for its germination. One of the successful method used for mass propogation of orchid plantlets is in vitro techniques. Therefore, an initial analysis was conducted in order to establish an appropriate procedure for mass multiplication of Arundina graminifolia. MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium was found to be suitable for the asymbiotic seed germination of Arundina graminifolia. Direct protocorm like bodies were induced by using combinations and individual supplement of MS medium with IAA (Indole-3-acetic acid), IBA (Indole-3- butyric acid), BAP (6-Benzylaminopurine) and KIN (Kinetin). Hormone-free MS basal medium was found suitable for the conversion of PLBs (protocorm-like bodies) into complete plantlets

Encapsulation of nodal segments was successfully developed for pointed gourd towards the formation of artificial seed with sodium alginate. Encapsulated nodal segments (artificial seed) were cultured in MS basal medium containing different concentrations and combinations of BAP and NAA to induce germination and shoot proliferation. Highest (95%) shoot formation was obtained in MS + 1.0 mg/l BAP followed by MS + 0.5 mg/l BAP. The encapsulated nodal segments also regenerated in vitro on different substrates. Frequency of plantlet formation was low on these substrates compared to plantlet development on MS media. Among these substrates, the percentage of plantlet formation was better on moist cotton (42%) followed by filter paper (35%). The hardened plants were transferred successfully to soil in the earthen pots. The protocol for encapsulating the nodal segments for the production of artificial seeds and their subsequent regeneration is a new area of research to develop in vitro conservation strategies for pointed gourd.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v21i1.17044

An in vitro regeneration protocol of Adhatoda vasica has been developed using excised nodal segments and juvenile leaves for multiple shoots regeneration directly or through callus induction. Explants were cultured on MS medium with different concentrations of IAA, NAA, BAP, GA3 and Kn singly or in combinations. MS medium supplemented with BAP (10.0 mg/l) was found best for multiple shoot formation, in which 93.33% explants produced multiple shoots. After two months, maximum number of multiple shoots were 10.6 ± 1.82, highest length of plantlets was 5.2 ± 2.20 cm. 100% calli formation were observed on MS medium supplemented with IAA (0.05 mg/l) + NAA (0.05 mg/l) + BAP (1.0 mg/l). Callus initiation started after 14 days and gave light green colored callus. Best callus mediated shoot regeneration was found on MS+10.0 mg/l BAP medium. Root induction of in vitro raised shoots was best on ½ MS + IBA (1.0 mg/l). Well rooted plantlets were transferred to plastic pots containing garden soil and compost in a ratio of 2:1 for hardening. The ultimate survival rate under natural condition was about 80%.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 51(1), 75-80, 2016

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.

Protocol for mass propagation of Bambusa bamboos (L.) Voss was developed through in vitro culture. Nodal segments containing pre-existing axillary bud, after surface sterilization, were inoculated on liquid Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) basal medium containing different concentrations and combinations of cytokinins (BAP, TDZ and Kn). The highest direct shoot induction (90%) was obtained in the MS liquid medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP and 1.0 mg/l TDZ with maximum average number of shoots (3.14 ± 0.06) per explant. Highest shoot multiplication (16.58 ± 0.24 shoots per culture) with highest average shoot length (9.21 ± 0.13 cm) was obtained when in vitro raised shoots were cultured in gelrite gelled MS medium in conjunction with 2.0 mg/l BAP and 1.0 mg/l TDZ. Incorporation of 10% coconut water with 4% sucrose in the above mentioned medium resulted satisfactory shoot growth and development with an average 26.7 ± 0.60 shoots per culture. For root induction, in vitro raised shoots were divided into clumps of 4-5 shoots in each clump and transferred onto both liquid and gelled half-strength MS medium containing different concentrations and combinations of auxins (IBA and NAA). Maximum rooting (86.67%) was achieved in half-strength of MS medium fortified with 2.5 mg/l IBA and 2.5 mg/l NAA with an average 8.72 ± 0.42 root per shoot. The rooted plantlets were then transferred to polybags containing garden soil, sand and compost mixture with 1:1:1 ratio. After a month the hardened plantlets were then transferred to the larger pots containing garden soil and compost with 1:1 ratio for sufficient growth and finally transplanted to the field. In this process, the highest 100% survivability was recorded from well-established rooted plantlets. The regenerated plants showed well developed root and shoot systems in field condition.Jahangirnagar University J. Biol. Sci. 5(2): 15-26, 2016 (December)
