Culture medium requirements for micropropagation of Isoplexis chalcantha was achieved for the first time after high degree of contamination and phenolic exudates were detected and solved. Cultures were established from axillary shoots using juvenile branches collected from this medicinal plant. Most satisfying results were obtained using a solidified and a modified MS medium (NO3- : NH4+ ratios) enriched with ascorbic acid or soluble PVP plus GA3, BAP and NAA. Explants (nodal segments) were used for in vitro shoots multiplication and best results were achieved with modified MS plus BAP and auxins. Vigorous shoots rooted without symptoms in the half-strength modified MS enriched with low concentration of IBA. Key words: Isoplexis chalcantha, axillary shoots, contamination, phenolic exudates, culture media, NO3- : NH4+ ratios D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v18i2.3395 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 18(2): 131-137, 2008 (December)

Faced with the demand for plants potted for their foliage, Anthurium maricense is seen as a viable option. However, most of the studies on obtaining micropropagated plantlets are for A. andraeanum, with nothing yet reported for A. maricense. The aim of this study therefore, was to evaluate the effect of four cytokinins in different concentrations, on the in vitro induction of shoots from nodal segments of A. maricense. The experimental design was completely randomised in a 4 x 4 factorial scheme, with four cytokinins (BAP, ZEA, CIN and 2iP) and 4 concentrations (0, 2.22, 4.44 and 6.66 μM), for a total of 16 treatments, with 6 replications of five test tubes, and using one nodal segment. Cultures were kept in a growth room at 25 ± 2°C, a photoperiod of 16 h and a light intensity of 30 μmolm-2 s-1 for 60 days. After this period, the number of shoots formed per node was evaluated. The addition of a cytokinin to the culture medium was determinant for the in vitro regeneration of shoots in A. maricense. The greatest estimated number of shoot formations in A. maricense were obtained in the culture media containing ZEA (3.87) and BAP (3.30), both at concentration of 6.66 μM.

During the present study an effort has been made to propagate (in-vitro) the endangered and endemic Himalayan liverwort Stephensoniella brevipedunculata Kashyap using different culture media under controlled Laboratory conditions. Axenic cultures of the taxon have been established using tubers as explants. Seven combinations of media with Full Strength Knop’s macronutrients; Half-strength Knop’s macronutrients; Half-strength Knop’s macronutrients + Vitamins; Halfstrength Knop’s macronutrients + 0.2 mg L-1 IBA + 0.1 mg L-1 BAP; Half-strength Knop’s macronutrients + 0.1 mg L-1 Kinetin + 0.1 mg L-1 2,4D; Half-strength Knop’s macronutrients + 0.1 mg L-1 IBA + 0.2 mg L-1 BAP and Hoagland no. 2 basal salt mixture were used for culture. The best growth was observed in the Hoagland no. 2 basal salt mixture medium, in which dichotomously branched young thalli were successfully formed. Subsequently healthy population of culture grown plants has been raised on soil in pots for the first time.

The main aim of present study was to overcome the problems associated with the in vitro culture initiation in Terminalia arjuna. The micropropagation of tree species is not easy as shrubs and herbs. Many problems encountered from explant collection to in vitro culture establishment. The problems that have been occurred during T. arjuna micropropagation were culture contamination, phenolic exudation, bud growth inhibition, shoots yellowing and leaf fall. All these problems have been solved by applying certain treatments prior to explant collection and inoculation. The mother tree was lopped in November months (six months prior to explant collection) to remove any inhibitory substance and release bud growth. Different sterilizing agents were used to minimize the bacterial and fungal contamination. Some modification in culture media (use of different concentration of NH4NO3 and KNO3 salts and adenine sulphate) was done. Surface sterilization of nodal explants collected from lopped branches with 0.1% HgCl2 for 8 min., treatment with chilled antioxidant solution (Ascorbic acid, Citric acid and PVP) and half strength of NH4NO3 and KNO3 salts of MS medium supported 100% bud break response with proliferation of green and healthy in vitro shoots. Removing these hurdles already in the initial stage of micropropagation is very important and maximize mass in vitro propagation of this medicinally important Arjun tree.

Abstract The aim of this study is to develop and improve methods of in vitro propagation of representatives of Dactylorhiza: D.baltica , D. fuchsii. For the study, we used protocorms obtained by the asymbiotic germination of seed during 90 days. It has been established that half-strength of Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium (½ MS) supplemented with 1-2 mg/l 6-Benzylaminopurine(6-BAP), potato puree (20g/l), and charcoal (1g/l) effectively influenced the development of protocorms, and seedlings formation in the studied species. The result of the study showed that the survival rate of protocorms was high in all experimental culture media, but in D. fuchsii it was better at a concentration 2mg/l of 6-BAP (95.4%), while in D. baltica it was high at 1mg/l (87.0%). The highest percentage of multiple protocorms (68%) and the formation of new secondary protocorms in D. fuchsii (5,5±0,3 units) were observed on a culture medium containing 2 mg/l 6-BAP. The highest percent of rooting of D. fuchsii protosoms (78%) and length of roots (0.9cm) observed in ½ MS medium without growth regulators. During the development of D. baltica protosoms, the culture medium of ½ MS containing 1 mg/l 6-BAP had the best effect on the number of roots (1.8±0.1root/protosom), while the medium supplemented with 2mg/l of 6-BAP contributed to the formation of a larger number of new secondary protocorms (3,2±0,1protocorm/unit). During the subsequent cultivation of protosoms of D. baltica on a culture medium containing 1 mg/l it was observed an increase in the height of shoots (4,8±0,3 см), and the length of roots (2,2±0,1 см), wherein the number of newly formed protocorms was higher by 30% on the medium supplemented with 2 mg/l 6-BAP.

We conducted experiments for developing an in vitro micropropagation protocol starting from meristems of Rudbeckia hirta L seedlings. We pre-soaked the seeds in sterile ion-exchanged water for 17 hours, and then achieved surface disinfection in two separate steps. First, we used concentrated household sodium-hypochloride solution for 20 minutes and, also for 20 minutes, we applied hydrogen peroxide of 10%, which was followed by washing with sterile ion-exchanged water three times. For the propagation of seedling meristems, the combination of half-strength solid Murashige and Skoog (1962) culture medium containing 10 mg/l of kinetin and 2 mg/l of kinetin + 0.1 mg/l of 2iP proved to be the most suitable. The average number of shoot-buds developed from the seedling axillary meristem in the best culture media varied between 5 and 17. Without separating them, we inoculated the shoot-bud clusters on MS culture medium containing 2 mg/l of IAA. After four weeks of incubation, we obtained elongated shoots, which we separated and inoculated into a new culture medium and from which we obtained elongated roots. The rooted plants were gradually acclimatised in the cultivation room, potted and carried to a greenhouse, and then planted in open field for subsequent observation. By adopting this method, our laboratory started the micropropagation of the superior and/or elite genotypes of the Rudbeckia hirta L. being of special value in respectt to breeding.

Sucrose is a very important component in in vitro culture media, serving as a source of carbon and energy. In this paper, the rooting and in vitro growth of Dendrobium nobile Lindl (Orchidaceae) were studied using different sucrose concentrations (0 g L-1; 5 g L-1; 10 g L-1; 20 g L-1; 30 g L-1 and 60 g L-1), in a modified MS medium containing half the regular concentration of macronutrients at pH 5.8. Greater increases in plant height (4.21±0.6 cm) and high seedling multiplication (1:4) were observed in the 60 g L-1 sucrose treatment, even without the addition of plant hormones. Sucrose concentration in the culture medium did not influence in vitro plant rooting.

<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. Two experiments were conducted. The statistical design was the completely randomized with 15 repetitions. After disinfestation, the segments of <em>J. pectoralis</em> were inoculated in the MS culture medium for 30 days. 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>

High cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) varieties of Cannabis sativa L., a species with medicinal properties, were regenerated in vitro. Explants of nodal segments including healthy axillary bud, after sterilization, were placed in Murashige-Skoog (MS) culture medium. The shoots formed after 30 days were subcultured in full- or half-strength MS medium supplemented with several concentrations of 6-benzyl-amino-purine (BA) or thidiazuron (TDZ). The highest average number and length of shoots was achieved when both full and half-strength MS media were supplemented with 4.0 μM BA. The presence of 4.0 μM TDZ showed also comparable results. BA and TDZ at concentrations of 4.0, 8.0 μM and 2.0, 4.0 μM respectively, displayed the maximum shooting frequency. The new shoots were transferred on the same media and were either self-rooted or after being enhanced with different concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) or α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Presence of 2.0 or 4.0 μM IBA or 4.0 μM NAA resulted to the optimum rooting rates. The maximum average number and length of roots per shoot was observed when the culture media was supplemented with 4.0 μM IBA or NAA. Approximately 92% of the plantlets were successfully established and acclimatized in field. The consistency of the chemical profile of the acclimatized in vitro propagated clones was assessed using quantitative 1H-NMR high throughput screening. In each variety, analysis of the micropropagated plant in comparison with the mother plant showed no statistically significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) in CBD+ cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and CBG+ cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) content respectively, thus indicating stability of their chemical profile.

A micropropagation protocol was developed for the HS314 rootstock, a hybrid between almond and peach that could be used as an alternative rootstock instead of GF677. Surface-sterilized nodal segments were cultured in a modified DKW medium containing 3% sucrose, 100 mg·L−1 of Phloroglucinol, 0.7% plant agar, and 0.5 mg·L−1 benzyl amino purine (BAP). Explants were transferred to the same culture media supplemented with 0.5, 1, or 2 mg·L−1 BAP and 0, 0.1, or 0.5 mg·L−1 indole butyric acid (IBA) for further shoot proliferation. The maximum number of shoots produced on a medium containing 2 mg·L−1 BAP. Microshoots were transferred to the DKW medium supplemented with 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 mg·L−1 IBA or naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) for root induction. The highest root number and the greatest root length were gained on a medium containing 2 mg·L−1 IBA. Rooting percentage was improved from 66% to more than 85% by reducing the concentration of DKW salts to half strength. Finally, rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized and transferred in vivo conditions.
