Callus culture was initiated from leaf discs on MS supplemented with BAP, NAA and Kn. The highest frequency (95%) of organogenic callus induction was observed in MS containing BAP at 3.0 mg/l and NAA at 0.3 mg/l. Development of adventitious shoots occurred when the calli were subcultured on MS supplemented with BAP alone at the rate of 3.0 mg/l (80%) and BAP with NAA at the rate of 3.0 and 0.3 mg/l, respectively (95%) and BAP with Kn at the rate of 3.0 and 0.3 mg/l, respectively (70%). The root initiation and the rate of growth were higher in the basal medium containing BAP at 3.0 and 2.5 mg/l. The plantlets were establish successfully in the hardening medium composed by coir pith and soil (1 : 1).Key words: Acmella calva, Leaf derived callus, Nilgiris, India  Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 17(2): 109-114, 2007 DOI: 10.3329/ptcb.v17i2.2566

In the present study, an efficient system for the in vitro regeneration of adventitious shoots from the peach rootstock Hansen 536 leaves has been established. Twenty regeneration media containing McCown Woody Plant Medium (WPM) as a basal salt supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs) were tested. Expanded leaves along with their petiole from 3-week-old elongated in vitro shoot cultures were used as starting explants. The highest regeneration rate (up to 53%) was obtained on WPM basal medium enriched with 15.5 μM N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The influences on leaf regeneration of the ethylene inhibitor silver thiosulphate (STS) and of different combinations of antibiotics added to the optimized regeneration medium were also investigated. The use of 10 μM STS or carbenicillin (238 μM) combined with cefotaxime (210 μM) significantly increased the average number of regenerating shoots per leaf compared to the control. In vitro shoots were finally elongated, rooted and successfully acclimatized in the greenhouse. The results achieved in this study advances the knowledge on factors affecting leaf organogenesis in Prunus spp., and the regeneration protocol described looks promising for the optimization of new genetic transformation procedures in Hansen 536 and other peach rootstocks and cultivars.

The experiment was conducted to develop an efficient protocol for in vitro regeneration of mungbean (Vignaradiata) on the aspect of regeneration potentiality of two mungbean varieties (BINA mung 5 and BINA mung 7) as influenced by different combinations of growth regulators supplemented with MS medium. Cotyledon explant of both varieties was used for the present study. Data were collected for various characters of callus initiation, shoot regeneration and root proliferation. Initiation of callus (%) and required days for its initiation and weight of callus were influenced significantly due to the effect of varieties where BINA mung 5 produced more callus induction (40.36%) at minimum requiring time (18.27 days) including heavier sizes of callus (1.54 g) than BINA mung 7 when BINA mung 5 further recorded the longest root (2.92 cm) compare to BINA mung 7. Effect of treatments of the present study were significantly influenced the whole characters regarding callus culture, shoot regeneration and root proliferation. The highest percentage of callus (88.44%) within minimum time (12.53 days) including larger sizes callus (3.521 g) were produced in 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.5 mg L–1 NAA among the treatments while the highest percentage of regenerated shoot (83.44%) at minimum requiring time (17.59 days) and more shoots (7.69 callus–1) were obtained in 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.0 mg L– 1 NAA. Root induction (82.50%), number of roots plantlet–1 (8.469) with minimum requiring time for initiation (14.13 days) and root length (5.250 cm) were the highest in 0.2 mg L–1 IAA + 1.0 mg L–1 kinetin + 0.2 mg L–1 BAP. Incase of interaction, percentage of callus initiation (89.38 %) was the highest in BINA mung 5 treated by 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.5 mg L–1 NAA at requiring minimum time (12.38 days) while same treatment produced the larger callus (3.581 g) among the interactions. The highest percentage (84.38%) and number (7.813 callus–1) of shoot with minimum requiring time (17.50 days) were found from BINA mung 5 treated by 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.0 mg L–1 NAA. Similarly, the longest shoot (5.58 cm) was produced from the BINA mung 5 treated by 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.0 mg L–1 NAA. However, root induction (%), roots plantlet–1, days required for root initiation and root length were statistically similar among the whole interaction treatments due to non significant variation. This result mentioned that the variety BINA mung 5 was better than BINA mung 7 for callus induction, shoot regeneration and root initiation while 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.5 mg L–1 NAA, 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.0 mg L–1 NAA and 0.2 mg L–1 IAA + 1.0 mg L–1 kinetin + 0.2 mg L–1 BAP supplemented with MS medium were the best combinations for better callusing, higher ability of shoot regeneration and root proliferation.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v7i2.22203 J.

In vitro regeneration of Cymbopogon polyneuros Stapf was obtained through callus culture using leaf base, node, and root as explants. Callus was induced from different explants with 2–5 mg/1 α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 1–2 mg/1 kinetin in Murashige and Skoog's (MS) basal medium. High frequency shoots were noticed from leaf-base callus supplemented with 3.5 mg/1 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), L-arginine, adenine, and a low level of NAA (0.2 mg/1). About 80–85 shoot buds were obtained from ca. 200 mg of callus per culture. The individual shoots produced root in the presence of 0.5–3 mg/1 indole 3-butyric acid or its potassium salt. Regenerated plants were cytologically and phenotypically stable. Regenerants were transplanted into soil and subsequently transferred to the field.

Ananas comosus var. MD2 is currently the most preferred pineapple variety in the international market due to its pleasant aroma and high Brix acidity ratio. In vitro approaches such as callus culture is promising in producing disease-free plantlet. However, there are limited studies reported on callus culture of MD2 variety despite the potential of in vitro regeneration through biotechnological advances. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of plant growth regulators (PGRs) i.e., 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and Thidiazuron (TDZ) on callus induction from leaf explant of MD2 pineapple. Leaf base explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with varying concentration of 2,4-D (0.5 to 6.0 mg/L) alone and in combination with BAP (1.0 to 3.0 mg/L). The frequency of callus induction was seen significantly highest (91.67±8.33%) with maximum callus fresh weight (0.25±0.07 g) at a combination of 2.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 2.0 mg/L BAP. The shortest duration of callus formation was seen on day 12 with the lowest concentration of 2,4-D, 0.5 mg/L. There is a moderate correlation between the earliness of callus formation and the frequency of callus induction (P<0.01). The most favourable media for callus proliferation was 6.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 2.0 mg/L TDZ as the highest fresh weight of 1.52±0.03 g was recorded. Callus culture has the potential to be a source of plant material and secondary metabolites production. In this study, 2,4-D and BAP have successfully induced callus in MD2 pineapple.

Indirect regeneration of plant was obtained through organogenesis in leaf callus cultures of Ionidium suffruticosum. Leaf explants were found to be best suited for callus induction on MS with 2, 4-D (0.5 and 1.0 mg/l). Maximum shoot regeneration was obtained in MS supplemented with Kn (4.0 mg/l) alone and NAA (0.4 mg/l) with Kn (2.0 m/l).  The in vitro shoots thus obtained were successfully rooted in MS supplemented with Kn (4.0 mg/l) alone and with NAA (2.0 mg/l) and Kn (0.2  mg/l).  Seventy per cent of the rooted plants survived and they were successfully acclimated in soil. Key words: Ionidium suffruticosum, micropropagation, Medicinal herb D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v19i2.5431 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 19(2): 143-150, 2009 (December)

In vitro shoot cultures for two birch species, Asian white birch (Betula platyphylla) and paper birch (Betula papyrifera), were initiated from shoot tips of mature trees and maintained in MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium containing 3% sucrose and 5–10 μM (micromolar) benzyladenine (BA). The effect of such factors as genotype, basal medium, and plant growth regulator (PGR) on proliferation was investigated. Shoots were proliferated in both MS and woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with different concentrations of thidiazuron (TDZ), BA, and kinetin (Kin). Two birch species responded differently to these factors. In general, more shoots were proliferated in WPM than in MS medium. The maximum proliferation rate of Asian white birch was achieved by being cultured in WPM containing 4–8 μM TDZ, while paper birch gave rise to the maximum proliferation rate in WPM supplemented with 20 μM BA. Interactions between genotype and medium or cytokinin were found. Shoots produced on media with TDZ had thick stems and small, dark green leaves. Microshoots can be rooted both in vitro and ex vitro with or without IBA treatment. Plants were regenerated from leaf tissues of Asian white birch. Adventitious shoots regenerated when in vitro leaves were cultured on WPM supplemented with 10–20 μM BA with 2-week dark treatment. The effect of genotype, PGR, and culture condition on in vitro regeneration of birch species is being tested.

AbstractPersian poppy (Papaver bracteatum Lindl.) is an important commercial source of medicinal opiates and related compounds. In this research, calli were induced from seeds, roots, cotyledons and hypocotyls of P. bracteatum at a high efficiency. The optimized callus induction media consisted of the Murashige and Skoog (MS) basic media supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 0.1 mg/L kinetin and 15 mg/L ascorbic acid. The concentrations of 2,4-D and ascorbic acid were found critical to callus induction and proliferation. Subsequent subcultures resulted in excellent callus proliferation. Ascorbic acid at concentration 15 mg/L increased the callus proliferation significantly. Maximum callus growth was achieved when the explants were incubated at 25°C. MS salts at full strength were found inhibitory for callus induction, while ľ MS salts were found to favor callus induction. Shoot regeneration of calli in vitro was achieved on ľ MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L benzylamine purine and 1.0 mg/L naphthalene acetic acid. Analysis of alkaloid extracts from Persian poppy tissues by high-performance liquid chromatography showed that thebaine accumulated in the tissues of plants. The thebaine alkaloid profile of the Persian poppy is a well-defined model to evaluate the potential for metabolic engineering of thebaine production in P. bracteatum.

Nodal explants of 12 accessions from four species of yam (Dioscorea spp.) were cultured for six weeks on MS to evaluate the influence of IAA, Kn, NAA and BAP on the production of leaves and microtubers. Four Dioscorea polystachya Turcz., three each of D. bulbifera L. and D. sansibarensis Pax. and two D. japonica Thunb. accessions were used. Five and 10 mg/l of Kn along with IAA and sucrose, and 0.2 and 0.5 mg/l of NAA, sucrose and with or without BAP were used in four treatments. The accessions Yam 23 and Yam 25 of D. sansibarensis failed to initiate any leaf under four treatments. The remaining accessions produced 0.11 to 1.76 leaves per explant. The medium containing IAA with higher concentration of Kn (10 mg/l) and 3% sucrose was found to be best for in vitro production of leaf (0.71/explant) and the most productive species was D. japonica (1.36), followed by D. polystachya (1.19/explant). At the same culture period, Yam 16 of D. bulbifera failed to initiate any microtuber at IAA with Kn, and NAA with or without BAP. The remaining accessions produced 0.09 to 1.15 microtubers per explant. Lower concentration of Kn (5 mg/l) with IAA and sucrose was favourable for producing microtubers (0.61/explant on an average), the best species being D. sansibarensis (1.27) followed by D. japonica (0.59/ explant). Finally, the presence of BAP adversely affected the production of microtuber among Dioscorea species. Key words: Dioscorea spp., Microtuber, Nodal culture, Propagation D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v18i1.3260 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 18(1): 25-35, 2008 (June)
