The thin cell layers of nodes and internodes of Ceropegia spiralis L. were cultured on  MS  supplemented with BAP 13.32 µM/l + NAA 0.537 μM/l induced 17.34 ± 0.55 shoots showing extensive growth. Later on the organogenesis was also induced on MS containing BAP 13.32 µM/l + 2, 4-D 1.130 µM/l, whereas the medium with BAP 13.32 µM/l + 2, 4-D 4.52 µM/l has the highest callus producing ability in recalcitrants as well as in normal explants. Shoots developed were rooted best on 0.5 MS with NAA 10.74 μM/l. Optimum shoot and root multiplication was obtained within eight weeks.  In vitro plantlets were successfully weaned and transferred to soil with about 90 per cent survival rate. So far, more than 650 weanlings have been produced successfully and reintroduced into nature for their recovery.     Key words: Ceropegia spiralis, Thin cell layer explants, Recalcitrants, Regeneration   D.

Shoot tip explants from in vitro germinated seedlings of Solanum capsicoides All. inoculated on MS containing 2 mg/l BA produced maximum shoot induction response (26 shoots per explant). Rooting of the microshoots (19.4 roots per explant) was obtained better in half strength of MS supplemented with NAA (0.5 mg/l). Well rooted plantlets were successfully hardened with 80 per cent survival rate.   Key words: Solanum capsicoides, Propagation, Therapeutic agent   D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v20i2.6912   Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 20(2): 179-184, 2010 (December)

Filter paper types significantly affected the growth, development and differentiation of chrysanthemum and tobacco stem thin cell layers (TCLs) from in vitro plantlets. Three different filter paper types, normally with varied uses in plant biology, showed varying morphogenic-altering and antibiotic-buffering capacities. Advantec #2 and Whatman #1 significantly stimulated root, shoot and callus formation while Whatman #3 inhibited them, as compared to TCLs placed directly on agar. Filter paper buffered the phytotoxic effect of antibiotics kanamycin and cefotaxime, substances commonly used in genetic transformation experiments, up to as much as 50%, independent of species or genotype. In both `Lineker' and `Shuhou-no-chikara' chrysanthemum cultivars, Advantec #2 and Whatman #1 filter papers stimulated embryogenesis but in tobacco all three filter paper types significantly reduced embryogenesis and explant survival.

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)

Shoot multiplication of M. brunoniana Wight & Arn. was achieved from the nodal explants of mature plants using MS with different concentrations and combina-tions of growth regulators. Maximum explant response and highest number of shoots per explant was obtained on MS medium fortified with 1.0 mg/l BAP. The highest degree of shoot proliferation was found to be 90%. The combination of BAP and Kn was also found to be effective for regeneration. The regenerated shoots were successfully rooted on MS supplemented with 0.5 mg/l NAA, after sequential hardening; survival rate was 90%.  Key words: Marsdenia brunoniana, Medinal plant, Micropropagation, Conservation D.

In vitro culture establishment is one of the most important stages in micropropagation. The disinfectant effectiveness depends on the type of surface disinfectant, concentration and the time treatment. In this initial study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were used as a disinfectant for petioles, flower stalks and stems of Begonia tuberous. In addition, thin cell layer culture (TCL) technique has been applied for the purpose of somatic embryogenesis. The results showed that AgNPs were effective in eliminating infectious microorganisms on B. tuberous explants; which were identified included 4 species of fungi (Fusarium sp., Aspergillus aculeatus, Trichoderma sp. and Penicillium sp.) and 1 species of bacteria (Pseudomonas sp.). At concentrations of 200 ppm and 300 ppm, AgNPs were not only effective in disinfection but also increased the induction rate of somatic embryogenesis in flower stalk TCL explants (approximately 40.00%); a similar effect was observed in stem TCL explants at the same concentration. Meanwhile, for petiole TCL explants, the induction rate of somatic embryogenesis was optimal when using AgNPs at a concentration of 100 - 300 ppm to disinfected the explant. In contrast, at high (400 ppm) or low (50 ppm) concentrations of AgNPs did not play a disinfecting role and stimulated somatic embryogenesis. In addition, explants derived from AgNPs sterilization did not show any abnormalities in somatic embryogenesis with shapes such as globular, heart, torpedo, and cotyledon. AgNPs showed double efficacy in sterilization of explants and improved efficiency of somatic embryogenesis from TCL petioles, flower stalks and stems explants; thus increasing the efficiency micropropagation of B. tuberous.

An efficient and reproducible procedure is outlined for rapid in vitro multiplication of Zingiber officinale var. ‘Nadia’ through high frequency shoot proliferation from transverse thin cell layer (tTCL) sections of in vitro derived microrhizome. In vitro derived microrhizome of size 500 μm in thickness was used as initial explants for induction of somatic embryos. Among the different phytohormones tested, tTCL explants shows maximum calli proliferation in medium containing 2 mg/L 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (88.30±0.11%). Reduced concentration of 2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was supplemented with different cytokinins for regeneration of callus. Among the different medium tested, optimum redifferentiation of somatic embryos were observed in medium containing 0.2 mg/L 2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 6.0 mg/L BAP (141.08±0.25). Clump of regenerated plantlets were further subculture and transfer into microrhizome inducing medium containing high sucrose concentration (8%). Plantlets with well developed microrhizome were successfully acclimatized and eventually transferred to the field. The application of studying embryo section for regeneration of plants might be useful alternative to ginger improvement programme. Histological analysis showed formation of somatic embryos and regenerated adventitious shoot.
