In vitro embryo morphogenesis and micropropagation of Dendrobium aggregatum Roxb. were described. The gradual developmental stages of embryos to seedlings were traced out. Within two weeks of culture the cells of undifferented embryos underwent repeated aniclinal and periclinal division producing a compact, green parenchymatous cell mass called spherule that emerged out by rupturing the testa. The spherules subsequently differentiated into greenish protocorms were considered as typical seed germination. Germination occurred on both (MS and Phytamax (PM) medium but MS medium proved to be more efficient. The primary protocorms underwent profuse proliferation through production of secondary (2º) protocorms when transferred to different plant growth regulators (PGRs) supplemented MS; the medium fortified with 2.0 mg/l BAP and 1.0 mg/l NAA proved to be most effective for induction of 2º protocorms and seedling development. Multiple shoot buds (MSBs) were induced in pseudobulb segments of the in vitro grown seedlings when cultured on different PGRs supplemented media; and the maximum number of MSBs were obtained MS + 2.0 mg/l BAP + 0.5 mg/l picloram. The MSBs underwent elongation and then they rooted when they were transferred to half strength of MS + 0.5 mg/l IAA. The well rooted plantlets were finally transferred to outside natural environment with 80% survival. D. O.

The seeds of Dendrobium lindleyi were germinated on 0.8% (w/v) agar solidified Murashige and Skoog (MS) as well as Phytamax (PM) basal media. The germination rate was found to be better on PM medium. The germinated seedlings underwent rapid elongation on Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) supplemented media and the highest growth was recorded on MS with 3% (w/v) sucrose + 2.0 mg/1 6-Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) + 0.1mg/1 Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA). The seed derived seedlings developed strong and stout roots on half strength MS medium with 1.5% sucrose. For micropropagation the pseudobulb segments were used as explant and the lower part of pseudobulb segment produced highest number of multiple shoot buds (9-10/segment) on agar solidified MS medium supplemented with 3% (w/v) sucrose + 2.5 mg/1BAP + 0.1% (w/v) Activated Charcoal. The highest rate of elongation and rooting was found from multiple shoot bud derived seedlings as well as same seed derived seedlings. Seed and multiple shoot bud derived rooted seedlings were finally transferred to outside natural environment by successive phases of acclimatization. Asiat. Soc.

Multiple Shoot Regeneration

A simple, repeatable and efficient protocol for direct multiple shoot regeneration from internodal explants has been defined in peppermint ( Mentha x piperita var. Indus). In vitro regenerated shoots of peppermint were excised into 4 to 8 mm long internodes and cultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with different cytokinins. In the hormonal assay, 3.0 mg L-l zeatin or 6-isopentenyl adenine independently supplemented to half strength MS medium exhibited multiple shoot regeneration, while thiaduzorn (0.1-3.0 mg L−1) showed no morphogenetic effect. A maximum of 85% in vitro cultured explants showed multiple shoot formation with an average of 7 shoots per explant on MS medium supplemented with zeatin. Multiple shoots were initiated within three weeks of cultivation. Internodes with regenerated multiple shoots were transferred to half - strength MS medium without supplementing with any plant growth hormone for shoot elongation and rhizogenesis. Rooted plants acclimatized and grew to maturity under glasshouse conditions. The plantlets developed were phenotypically identical to the parent plant and exhibited 96 % survival.

In vitro seed germination and seedling development of Phaius tancarvilleae (L’Her.) Blume. was carried out on 0.8%(w/v) agar solidified MS Medium (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) without hormones or supplemented with different concentration and combination of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l of BAP was the most ideal condition for early seed germination, protocorm formation and development of seedlings. Germination started after 7 weeks of culture and complete seedlings were obtained after 24 weeks of culture. This protocol might be helpful for mass propagation of orchids by asymbiotic seed germination.

An in vitro regeneration protocol was developed for two high-yielding eggplant varieties (Solanum melongena L.) namely BARI begun-4 and BARI begun-6. Multiple shoots were regenerated from cotyledonary explants through organogenesis with growth regulators of different combinations and concentrations.  The best response towards multiple shoot regeneration was achieved from cotyledon explants on MS media complemented with 1 mg/l BAP + 0.2 mg/l IAA in both the two varieties of eggplant. Elongation of shoots was achieved on hormone free MS medium. Regenerated shoots of both the varieties produced   active in vitro root system on half strength of MS medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/l IBA.  The in vitro grown plantlets were acclimatized in soil, grew up to maturity, flowered, fruited and produced seeds as normal healthy plant like the control.

Symbiotic Seed Germination

Pholidota articulata is an epiphytic orchid mostly used in ornamental cut/pot flower and in traditional medicine. As it has high ornamental and medicinal values, its population from natural habitats is decreasing, therefore, it is listed in the Appendix-II of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). The objective of the present study is to obtain the in vitro plants of P. articulata from seed culture to conserve its germplasm. The in vitro seed germination was carried out in different strengths of Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Knudson C (KnC) medium supplemented with various plant hormones. On the half-strength of MS medium, seeds were started to germinate after 4 weeks of primary culture and they were developed into protocorms with first leaf primordium earlier than on the other medium. Therefore, in vitro developed protocorms were sub-cultured on the half-strength of MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), gibberellic acid (GA3) and α-naphtalene acetic acid (NAA). They were successfully developed into shoots on the 1.5 mg/l BAP supplemented half-strength of MS medium. Later, they were inoculated on the half-strength of MS medium supplemented with different concentration of α-napthalene acetic acid (NAA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) for the root formation, where IBA supplemented medium was found effective for the development of roots. Thus, this study provides a reliable protocol for non-symbiotic seed germination and plant production, and reveals that seed-derived protocorms are good explants for the in vitro mass propagation for conservation and sustainable utilization in horticulture.

Helicteres isora L. (Malvaceae), a medicinally important tree species used in Ayurveda as well as by folklore practitioners, is studied for its phenology, associated problems with the environment and anthropogenic effects.  In Helicteres isora, flower buds are initiated by the end of July and flowering occurs during the middle of August to late October.  Fruits mature during late January to early April.  In between various factors like blister beetles, unidentified worms, deficit rainfall, early summer affect the flowering and seed setting, which cause 35–45 % loss.  Seed viability of mature seeds were recorded 88.2% at fresh collection and decreases over period of time. In vitro, among the various treatments, acid treated seeds (H2SO4, 98.0%; 1 min) resulted in the best germination response of 84.5%.  Sterile wet cotton soaked with sterile distilled water was found suitable for germination compared to other substratum, while half-strength MS medium with 2.0% sucrose was suitable for seedling development.

Seedling Development

In nature, orchid seed germination is obligatory following infection by mycorrhizal fungi, which supplies the developing embryo with water, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, causing the seeds to germinate relatively slowly and at a low germination rate. The nonsymbiotic germination of orchid seeds found in 1922 is applicable to in vitro propagation. The success of seed germination in vitro is influenced by supplementation with organic compounds. Here, we review the scientific literature in terms of the contents and role of organic supplements in promoting seed germination, protocorm development, and seedling growth in orchids. We systematically collected information from scientific literature databases including Scopus, Google Scholar, and ProQuest, as well as published books and conference proceedings. Various organic compounds, i.e., coconut water (CW), peptone (P), banana homogenate (BH), potato homogenate (PH), chitosan (CHT), tomato juice (TJ), and yeast extract (YE), can promote seed germination and growth and development of various orchids. They also stimulate seedling development, formation of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs), plantlet growth, and multiple shoot formation. The addition of organic compounds to culture media, individually or in combination, accelerates seed germination and seedling development. Different types and concentrations of organic nutrients are needed for the success of in vitro cultures, depending on the species and genotype.
