Soymida febrifuga (Roxb.) A. Juss., (Meliaceae) an indigenous lofty deciduous tree, endemic to India, has extensive pharmacological activity. Continuous destruction of plants due to environmental and geopolitical instability has posed a major threat to endemic tree species. In vitro propagation techniques are also problematic due to high incidence of shoot tip necrosis (STN). The effect of various culture conditions on regeneration and STN of Soymida febrifuga were investigated. Nodal segments from field grown plants were used as explants and cultured on MS supplemented with different concentrations of BA, KN, NAA and IAA. The synergistic effect of BA (2 mg/l) and NAA (0.2 mg/l) induced a mean of 6.3 ± 0.09 shoots from the nodal explants with a frequency of 80.4%. Frequent subculturing of nodal explants from in vitro derived shoots increases the number of multiple shoots, but the regenerated shoots exhibited the symptoms of STN. Various factors such as strength of the media, different carbon sources activated charcoal and different calcium sources have been investigated for reducing the incidence of shoot necrosis. STN can easily be recovered by increasing the levels of calcium. Transfer of shoots showing early signs of necrosis to half strength MS supplemented with CN (556 mg/l), CP (1.0 mg/l), AC (20 mg/l) and fructose (100 mg/l) facilitated recovery of more than 98% of the shoots. Rooted plantlets produced, using the optimized protocol, were acclimatized successfully.   Key words: Soymida febrifuga, Shoot regeneration, Shoot tip necrosis   D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v21i1.9559   Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 21(1): 11-25, 2011 (June)

Efforts have been made to establish a protocol for direct multiple shoot regeneration from both in vitro grown seedlings and mature plants of Citrus macroptera. Both nodal and shoot tip explants taken from in vitro grown seedlings were cultured in MS supplemented with different concentrations of BAP and Kn either singly or in combinations. Both these explants are capable to regenerate and produce in vitro multiple shoots. Maximum number of shoots were obtained from nodal explants in MS supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP. BAP alone was found superior to Kn. On the other hand, only nodal explants from mature plants were used and 1.0 mg/1 BAP was also found best suitable for shoot induction and multiplication. Ex vitro rooting in pot soil (mixed with biogas slurry derived from cow-dung) was most successful compared to in vitro rooting in half strength of MS supplemented with different concentrations of NAA and IBA. Key words: In vitro, Shoot regeneration, Citrus macroptera D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v18i1.3246 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 18(1): 17-24, 2008 (June)

Healthy multiple shoot regeneration was observed from petiole-attached cotyledon (PC) explants of CVL-1 on MS containing 0.2 mg/l BAP and 1.0 mg/l IAA. On the other hand, the best response for multiple shoot regeneration in CVE-3 was obtained when the same explants were cultured on MS with 2.5 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l NAA. However, the same explant of D-154 was found to show less responsive compared to other two varieties to produce multiple shoots. Cotyledonary nodal explants of all the three varieties were found to produce maximum number of multiple shoots on MS supplemented with 0.2 mg/l BAP and 1.0 mg/l IAA. Best root induction was observed at the base of the in vitro regenerated shoots on half the strength of MS supplemented with 0.3 mg/l IBA. The in vitro grown plantlets were successfully transplanted into soil. They grew up to maturity, flowered and fruited like the control plants.Key words: Regeneration, White jute, Corchorus capsularisDOI = 10.3329/ptcb.v17i1.1116Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 17(1): 11-18, 2007 (June)

An efficient protocol for in vitro propagation of Adhatoda vasica Nees was established using shoot tip and nodal explants from field grown mature plant. Proliferation of multiple shoots was achieved on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of cytokinins (0.5-4.0 mg/l) and auxins (0.1-1.0 mg/l). Maximum number of shoots per explant (13.0) was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP + 0.2 mg/l NAA. Among two types of explants used in this study, nodal explants showed better response in respect of multiple shoot production. The elongated shoots were excised and subcultured for rooting on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of auxins (IBA and NAA). Highest 80% rooting was achieved; and three to four roots per shoot were recorded in medium with 1.0 mg/l IBA within 4 weeks of culture. The in vitro raised plantlets were acclimatized and successfully transferred to natural condition in pot. The regenerated plants were healthy, uniform and identical to the donor plants and the survival percentage was 80%.

Direct plant regeneration from shoot tips and nodal explants of Wedelia calendulacea Less. was carried out in MS with different concentrations and combinations of BAP, Kn and NAA. Of the two explants nodal segments showed the best response towards the formation of multiple shoots in MS containing BAP (2.0 mg/l), Kn (1.0 mg/l) and NAA (0.5 mg/l). In this combination, the maximum number of shoots/explant obtained was 18.33 ± 0.72 from shoot tips and 26.64 ± 0.47 from nodal explants. Cent per cent root formation was obtained in MS with IBA (0.2 mg/l) within three weeks. The in vitro regenerated plantlets were successfully transplanted to soil for further growth and development.

Medicinal plants are one of the most vital natural resources, but many of them are currently endangered due to habitat loss. Consequently, it is critical to emphasize the importance of using micropropagation techniques for mass propagation of plantlets on a commercial scale, in addition to germplasm conservation and distribution. Nodal explants and shoot tips were expunged from 15 days of the explant by aseptic seedlings, an effective, quick, and better in vitro plant regeneration procedure for Vitex negundo L. has been developed. The recent study was considered to develop an in vitro procedure for the regeneration of V. negundo L., a traditional medicinal plant. Nodal segments and shoot tips were cultivated on MS medium enhanced with numerous plant growth regulators. For multiple shoots and root regeneration, various cytokinins were examined. 6-benzyl-aminopurin (BAP), kinetin (Kin), and 1H-indole-3-butanoic acid (IBA) were all tested as a supplement to Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium including auxin phytohormone, such as Indole acetic acid (IAA) and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The furthermost effective surface sterilization treatment for explants of V. negundo has been found 0.1% HgCl2 for 8 minutes. In all treatments, multiple shoots were collected from shoot tips and nodal segments. In MS media added with 2.0mg/l BAP, the most shoots were seen in V. negundo. Furthermore, V. negundo regeneration shoots rooted effectively in half MS containing 1.0 mg/l IBA. Finally, proliferated plantlets were effectively adapted in soil, where they grew normally without morphological anomalies and had a survival rate of 92 percent.

This study was conducted to investigate the in vitro callus induction and rapid shoot regeneration potential in Enterolobium cyclocarpum, a plant native to central Mexico but widely introduced into Africa. The leaf, stem and nodal explants of E. cyclocarpum were cultured on full strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of Cytokinins - Benzyladenine (BA) and/or Kinetin and Auxins - Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and/or 2,4-Dichlorophenoxylacetic acid (2,4-D) each alone and in combination.  The leaf explants did not respond to these treatments.  The Nodal explants were best for caulogenesis, while the explant responses were in the order- nodal > stem > cotyledon for callogenesis in MS medium supplemented with BA and/or Kin combined with NAA and/or 2,4-D. The varied combinations induced white compact callus.  The highest callus production was observed on MS medium supplemented with 2.7 µM NAA + 2.2 µM BA and 5.4 µM NAA alone.  Nodal and cotyledon explants developed callus and multiple shoots on MS supplemented with a combination of cytokinin (BA and/or Kin.) and auxin (NAA and/or 2,4-D). The maximum number of 3.98 ± 0.37 and 2.1±0.11 shoots/explants were recorded for nodal and cotyledon explants on MS medium supplemented with a combination of 8.8 µM BA+2.7 µM NAA and 2.2µM BA+2.7 µM NAA respectively.  On the basal medium, 10% of the excised shoots rooted successfully. Thus, this in vitro method can be exploited for conservation and mass propagation of this fast timber yielding tree and also utilized for embryogenesis studies.

An experiment was conducted in the Tissue Culture Laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Salna, Gazipur-1706 from March 2013 to February 2014 for in vitro shoot regeneration of mint using different explants and levels of benzylaminopurine (BAP) in full strength MS media. Three different types of explants viz. nodal segment, shoot tip and leaf were evaluated using three levels of BAP (1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mg/l) along with control for shoot regeneration. Results revealed that shoot tip and nodal segments performed better than leaf as explants in almost all the characters studied. Shoot tip and nodal segments initiated shoot within the shortest time of 9.6 and 10.6 days, respectively with 1.0 mg/l of BAP. Regarding number of shoot per explant and number of node/shoot, shoot tip and nodal segments along with 1.0 mg/l of BAP performed superior at almost all days after inoculation. In case of interaction of explants and BAP, better performance was recorded in most of the studied parameters from shoot tip and nodal segments alongwith 1.0 mg/l BAP. Therefore, for in vitro shoot regeneration of mint, shoot tip or nodal segment may be used with 1.0 mg/l of BAP.Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 43(4): 703-716, December 2018
