The study investigated an in vitro propagation of Manihot esculenta Crantz in a substituted substrate regime. The aim was to proffer and affordable alternative to the expensive high tech media formulations usually employed in tissue culture protocol. The experiment was conducted on laboratory bench, using standard tissue culture and micropropagation methods under aseptic conditions. The morphogenesis effect of the substrate was determined based on the integer number of explants’ callus and adventitious shoot regeneration. Results showed that MS + Agar, supported embryogenic callus formation with 38% viability, NH4NO3 + KH2PO4 + Agar, supported same with 29%. MS + 2, 4-D + BAP +Agar supported shoot establishment with 32%. While NH4NO3 + KH2PO4 + Zea mays extracts + Agar, did same with 43.26%. MS + Soil, supported callugenesis with 27% viability while NH4NO3 + KH2PO4 + Soil supported the callus establishment with 25%. MS + 2,4 - D + BAP + Soil, supported shoot establishment with 38.41% viability while NH4NO3 + KH2PO4 + Zea mays Extracts + Soil supported same with 36%. The application of crude Zea mays seedling extracts can serve as potent alternative to the synthetic 2, 4 – D and BAP, in in vitro somatic cell morphogenesis. NH4NO3 + KH2 + PO4 can substitute for the MS salt in the same protocol. Loamy top soil can be a good alternative to agar powder as gelling agent in cassava somatic cell embryogenesis and shoot regeneration. Keywords: Ammonium nitrate, Potassium biphosphate, MS salt, axillary meristem, morphogenesis.

RESUMO: O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a capacidade antimicrobiana in vitro, de diferentes extratos de fungos endofíticos, como alternativa no biocontrole de Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici. Foram obtidos oito isolados endofíticos de plantas do Cerrado Maranhense e de interesse econômico, a saber: aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão), jenipapo (Genipa americana L.), milho (Zea Mays L.), mandioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz), vinagreira (Hibiscus sabidariffa L.) e graviola (Annona muricata L.). Os isolados endofiticos das espécies foram identificados em Aspergillus niger e Penicillium italicum, com características morfológicas distintas entre as colônias e todos os isolados endofíticos verificou-se crescimento mediano. Para a atividade antimicrobiana, foi realizada a extração dos metabólitos dos isolados endofiticos com os solventes: Acetato de Etila, Clorofórmio e Diclorometano, posteriormente realizado o bioensaio através do confronto direto do antagonista (endófito) sobre o Fusarium Oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici, raça 1, pelo método de difusão em ágar. Os extratos dos isolados endofíticos obtidos do solvente Clorofórmio apresentaram capacidade inibitória, assim interferindo no crescimento do Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici raça. Que foram provenientes do caule milho (II) e de jenipapo, com diâmetros de 13mm e 11mm, respectivamente, os outros extratos dos isolados apresentaram halos de inibição inferior. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: antibiose, controle biológico, fitopatógeno.

Abstract Background A frequent problem associated with the tissue culture of Compositae species such as chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is the premature bolting to in vitro flowering of regenerated plants. Plants exhibiting such phase changes have poor survival and poor seed set upon transfer from tissue culture to greenhouse conditions. This can result in the loss of valuable plant lines following applications of cell and tissue culture for genetic manipulation. Results This study demonstrates that chicory and lettuce plants exhibiting stable in vitro flowering can be rejuvenated by a further cycle of adventitious shoot regeneration from cauline leaves. The resulting rejuvenated plants exhibit substantially improved performance following transfer to greenhouse conditions, with increased frequency of plant survival, a doubling of the frequency of plants that flowered, and substantially increased seed production. Conclusion As soon as in vitro flowering is observed in unique highly-valued chicory and lettuce lines, a further cycle of adventitious shoot regeneration from cauline leaves should be implemented to induce rejuvenation. This re-establishes a juvenile phase accompanied by in vitro rosette formation, resulting in substantially improved survival, flowering and seed set in a greenhouse, thereby ensuring the recovery of future generations from lines genetically manipulated in cell and tissue culture.
