The medicinal plant, Aspilia africana, has been traditionally used in several African countries to treat many diseases such as tuberculosis, cough, inflammation, malaria, osteoporosis, and diabetes. In this study, we developed a protocol for in vitro propagation of A. africana using indirect shoot organogenesis from leaf and root explants of in vitro-grown seedlings and assessed the tissues at different developmental stages. The highest callus induction (91.9 ± 2.96%) from leaf explants was in the Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium augmented with 1.0 mg/L 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 1.0 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) while from root explants, the highest callus induction (92.6 ± 2.80%) was in the same plant tissue culture medium augmented with 0.5 mg/L BAP and 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D. The best shoot regeneration capacity from leaf-derived calli (i.e., 80.0 ± 6.23% regeneration percentage and 12.0 ± 6.23 shoots per callus) was obtained in medium augmented with 1.0 mg/L BAP and 0.05 mg/L α-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA); the best regeneration capacity for root-derived calli (i.e., 86.7 ± 6.24% shoot regeneration percentage and 14.7 ± 1.11 shoots per callus) was obtained in the MS medium augmented with 1.0 mg/L BAP, 0.05 mg/L NAA, and 0.1 mg/L Thidiazuron (TDZ). Regenerated plantlets developed a robust root system in 1/2 MS medium augmented with 0.1 mg/L NAA and had a survival rate of 93.6% at acclimatization. The in vitro regenerated stem tissue was fully differentiated, while the young leaf tissue consisted of largely unorganized and poorly differentiated cells with large intercellular airspaces typical of in vitro leaf tissues. Our study established a protocol for the indirect regeneration of A. africana and offers a basis for its domestication, large-scale multiplication, and germplasm preservation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to develop an indirect regeneration protocol for A. africana and conduct anatomical assessment through the different stages of development from callus to a fully developed plantlet.

In vitro study was carried out in an important medicinal plant Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers belonging to the family: Menispermaceae. Vegetative parts such as stem, leaf and nodal explants were excised from an elite in vivo grown mature plant and thereafter cultured on Murashige-Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different hormonal concentrations for callus induction and organogenesis. Callus formation occurred from nodal segments, leaf and inter-node explants when planted on different combinations of hormones. Tinospora cordifolia showed response for in vitro shoot growth from the nodal segment. The best shoot growth was observed on MS medium supplemented with kinetin (1.5 mg/l). Similarly, the best result for root induction was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine (1.0 mg/l) and naphthaleneacetic acid (2.5 mg/l). Key-words: callus induction; explants; medicinal plant; MS medium; tissue culture.DOI: 10.3126/botor.v6i0.2918 Botanica Orientalis - Journal of Plant Science (2009) 6: 103-105

The experiment was conducted during May to December 2008 in the Biotechnology Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to observe the callus induction, regeneration potentiality and to establish a suitable in vitro plantlet regeneration protocol of Corchorus olitorius. MS medium supplemented with different phytohormone concentrations and combinations were used to observe the callus induction, shoot regeneration and root formation ability of the cotyledon with attached petiole derived explant of three genotypes viz. O-9897, O-72 and OM-1. The highest callus induction (92.85%) was observed in O-9897 followed by O-72 (82.14%) in the MS media supplemented with 2.5 mg/L BAP + 0.5 mg/L IAA. Genotype O-9897 in MS media supplemented with 2.5 mg/L BAP + 0.5 mg/L IAA produced the highest percentage of shoot regenerants (83.33%) followed by O-72 (75.00%) in the media supplemented with 2.5 mg/L BAP + 0.5 mg/L IAA. The root formation from regenerants was the best on halfstrength of MS media supplemented with 0.6 mg/L IBA in genotype O-9897 (45.00%). The in vitro regenerated plantlets from the genotypes O-9897 could be established in the field. Therefore, the genotypes O-9897 of C. olitorius in MS media supplemented with 2.5 mg/L BAP + 0.5 mg/L IAA could be used for callus induction and shoot regeneration.

The application of biotechnology in upland rice improvement programs depends on the availability of efficient regeneration protocols.  Although protocols for shoot regeneration of upland rice are available, none has been reported for pigmented cultivars.  This study reports on a protocol for callus induction and regeneration of Tadong, a pigmented upland rice cultivar from Sabah.  For callus induction, immature embryos were cultured on media containing 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D) at various concentrations (0 – 2.5 mg/L) and on different types of media (MS; MSB5; N6B5; N6).  To induce shoot regeneration, callus explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with combinations of 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) at various concentrations (0 – 3.0 mg/L) and 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at 1.0 mg/L.  To induce shoot development, callus explants were pre-treated with Thidiazuron (TDZ) at various concentrations (0-1.0 mg/l) and exposed to different desiccation periods (0 – 72 hours).  2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic at 2.5 mg/L and N6B5 medium resulted in the highest percentages of explant forming callus which were 60.3 ± 17.0 % and 58.7 ± 9.8 % respectively.   The regeneration media failed to induce shoot on callus explants, instead, green spots were formed on the surface of the callus.  The green spots were stimulated to develop into shoots when the callus explants were pre-treated with 0.5 mg/L TDZ or exposed to partial desiccation for 24 h, the percentages of explant forming shoot were 35.7 ± 4.8 % and 47.7 ± 6.8 % respectively.   Shoots developed into complete plants on hormone-free MS medium and acclimatized.

The experiment was conducted to develop an efficient protocol for in vitro regeneration of mungbean (Vignaradiata) on the aspect of regeneration potentiality of two mungbean varieties (BINA mung 5 and BINA mung 7) as influenced by different combinations of growth regulators supplemented with MS medium. Cotyledon explant of both varieties was used for the present study. Data were collected for various characters of callus initiation, shoot regeneration and root proliferation. Initiation of callus (%) and required days for its initiation and weight of callus were influenced significantly due to the effect of varieties where BINA mung 5 produced more callus induction (40.36%) at minimum requiring time (18.27 days) including heavier sizes of callus (1.54 g) than BINA mung 7 when BINA mung 5 further recorded the longest root (2.92 cm) compare to BINA mung 7. Effect of treatments of the present study were significantly influenced the whole characters regarding callus culture, shoot regeneration and root proliferation. The highest percentage of callus (88.44%) within minimum time (12.53 days) including larger sizes callus (3.521 g) were produced in 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.5 mg L–1 NAA among the treatments while the highest percentage of regenerated shoot (83.44%) at minimum requiring time (17.59 days) and more shoots (7.69 callus–1) were obtained in 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.0 mg L– 1 NAA. Root induction (82.50%), number of roots plantlet–1 (8.469) with minimum requiring time for initiation (14.13 days) and root length (5.250 cm) were the highest in 0.2 mg L–1 IAA + 1.0 mg L–1 kinetin + 0.2 mg L–1 BAP. Incase of interaction, percentage of callus initiation (89.38 %) was the highest in BINA mung 5 treated by 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.5 mg L–1 NAA at requiring minimum time (12.38 days) while same treatment produced the larger callus (3.581 g) among the interactions. The highest percentage (84.38%) and number (7.813 callus–1) of shoot with minimum requiring time (17.50 days) were found from BINA mung 5 treated by 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.0 mg L–1 NAA. Similarly, the longest shoot (5.58 cm) was produced from the BINA mung 5 treated by 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.0 mg L–1 NAA. However, root induction (%), roots plantlet–1, days required for root initiation and root length were statistically similar among the whole interaction treatments due to non significant variation. This result mentioned that the variety BINA mung 5 was better than BINA mung 7 for callus induction, shoot regeneration and root initiation while 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.5 mg L–1 NAA, 1.0 mg L–1 BAP + 2.0 mg L–1 NAA and 0.2 mg L–1 IAA + 1.0 mg L–1 kinetin + 0.2 mg L–1 BAP supplemented with MS medium were the best combinations for better callusing, higher ability of shoot regeneration and root proliferation.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v7i2.22203 J.

Current study determined the effects of different cultivation media and some factors on in vitro callus induction and shoot regeneration of Pakaumpuel rice (Oryza sativa L.), the Thai rice landrace. Pakaumpuel’s dehusked seeds were surface sterilized by 20% Sodium hypoclorite for 20 mins before washed and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium in various concentrations of BAP (0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1 mg/l) and 2,4-D (0, 1, 2 and 3 mg/l) and cultivated  in off -light or dark cycle condition for 15 days. Results showed that MS medium with 2 mg/l 2,4-D incubated in light condition provided the highest callus induction percentage (80 %). For shoot regeneration, calli were desiccated by using silica gel for 0, 30, 90 and 180 minutes prior to culture on MS medium with 1 mg/l NAA and various concentrations of BAP (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg/l) for 30 days. The results revealed that desiccation periods had no effect on regeneration percentage and number of shoot per callus, but had effects on shoot length and number of leaves per shoot. Therefore, MS medium with 1 mg/l NAA and 3 mg/l BAP induced the highest regeneration percentage (53.33 %) and number of shoot per callus (4.40 shoots), while the longest shoot (12.82 cm) and the highest number of leaves per shoot (3.00 leaves) were found on the culture on this medium after desiccation for 90 minutes. This discovery can be applied for micropropagation of other Thai rice landraces.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of various cultivars of Hosta ovary explants to generate adventitious shoots and obtain variegated plants in vitro. Immature inflorescences along with 8 to 10 cm of scape were harvested from Hosta cultivars. The ovaries were prepared for culture by cutting immature florets before anthesis. The florets were first cut just above the top of the immature ovary to remove the sigma, style, corolla, and anther. Then the calyx and filament bases were also removed. Ovaries were transversely cut into halves and transferred to baby jars containing Hosta initiation medium supplemented with naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at 0.5 mg/L and 6-benzylamino purine (BA). The explants produced adventitious shoots from ovary base via organogenesis. The number of shoots regenerated from shoot tips and callus increased linearly with repeatedf subculturing on MS medium. This method would provide an effective alternative to conventional propagation crown division of Hosta, an expensive and slow process. The long-term goal of this project is to improve Hosta.

An efficient and rapid protocol for the micropropagation of Globba schomburgkii Hook. f. via bulbil explants was investigated. The long divided and undivided bubils of G. schomburgkii Hook. f. were cultured on MS medium (Murashige and Skoog) that had either 3 mg/l benzyladenine (BA) or 0.5 mg/l naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) added for 8 weeks. The results indicated that the long divided bulbils of G. schomburgkii Hook. f. showed a greater amount of plant regeneration than the undivided bulbils. Callus induction, as well as shoot and root formation, were observed when culturing microshoots of 1 cm in length on media (MS) that had Thidiazuron (TDZ) or NAA plus BA added at a range of concentrations for 8 weeks. The highest percentage of callus induction was 40 % when culturing the microshoots on MS medium supplemented with NAA and BA. The best result for shoot formation was achieved when culturing the microshoots on MS medium with TDZ added. The highest number of roots was obtained when culturing the microshoots on MS medium with NAA and BA added. The in vitro-derived plantlets of G. schomburgkii Hook. f. were transplanted to pots containing different types of potting mixture in a greenhouse. The survival rates were 80 % when G. schomburgkii Hook. f. was transplanted to sand.
