The effect of 6 sucrose concentrations (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 g/l) over 4 incubation periods (30, 45, 60, 75 days) on in vitro rooting of Moris pineapple cultured in liquid half strength MS medium enriched with IBA at 2.0 mg/l was investigated. At all incubation periods, all shoots in medium enriched with sucrose at 5 g/l failed to root, and no roots formed within the first 30 days in medium enriched with sucrose at 10 g/l. After 30 days of incubation, the highest rooting percentage (66 %), tallest plantlets (23 mm tall), highest (3.4 roots) and longest (5.3 mm) root per shoot were obtained in medium enriched with sucrose at 25, 10, 15, 15 g/l respectively, while after 45 days, the highest of all rooting aspects (75 %, 32.3 mm tall, 3.7 roots, 7 mm long), were obtained in medium enriched with sucrose at 15 g/l. After 60 days, the highest rooting percentage (91.7 %) and tallest plantlets (36.7 mm tall) were obtained in medium enriched with sucrose at 20 g/l while highest roots per shoot (3.7 roots) and longest root (10.7 mm) were obtained in medium enriched with sucrose at 15 g/l. After 75 days, all shoots rooted (100 %) in medium enriched with sucrose at 10 and 20 g/l, while sucrose at 25 g/l resulted in tallest plantlets (46.3 mm tall) and at 20 g/l resulted in highest (4.7 roots) and longest roots (27.3 mm). At each incubation period, there was a different optimum sucrose enrichment for different rooting parameters.

The aim of this study was to determine the possibility of micropropagation of the medicinal plant A. millefolium on half-strength MS medium and ex vitro rooting and acclimatization of the obtained microshoots in hydroculture in order to establish an efficient production method. Two explant types were used: basal and terminal cuttings, and better results were achieved when terminal cuttings were used. The development of shoots in the multiplication phase was successful with a regeneration percentage of 100%. Ex vitro rooting in a modified Hoagland nutrient solution was successful (83%), but the percentage of in vitro rooting on half-strength MS medium without hormones was higher (95%). However, bearing in mind that mass production of A. millefolium is more efficient when the phase of in vitro rooting is excluded, this method could be recommended for commercial propagation of this medicinal plant. It is necessary to conduct additional research in order to optimize the composition, EC and pH value of the hydroponic nutrient solution.

Terminalia arjuna is an important tree of the medicinal and sericulture industry, commonly known as Arjun. It’s bark is rich in secondary metabolites makes this plant highly valuable in medicine industry to treat cardiovascular disease. Overexploitation due to high demand in medicine, low seed germination, limitations of the conventional method of propagation push this plant towards being endangered. To conserve germplasm of such tree species and meet the requirement in medicinal industry, some non-conventional propagation method like micropropagation has been developed. The present work highlighted the effect of three genotypes (G-1, G-2, and G-3) on tissue culture of T. arjuna situated at Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. In vitro shoot proliferation was achieved on a modified MS medium enriched with BAP + additives. Among the tested genotypes, Genotype -1 showed maximum bud break response (100%) followed by G-3 (93.33 %) and G-2 (86.66%). Further multiplication of these shoots on modified MS medium containing BAP + NAA + additives gave 11.38±0.26 (G-1), 9.44±0.21 (G-2) and 10.22±0.32 (G-3) shoots. In vitro rooting was done by pulse treatment with IBA for 10 min prior to transfer on hormone free half strength MS medium containing 0.1% activated charcoal. Maximum in vitro rooting was obtained in G-1 (80%) followed by G-3 (71.11%) and G-2 (68.88%). In the present study, it was observed that optimum growth in all three genotypes required different doses of Plant Growth Regulator. Thus, by identifying and multiplying the best performing genotypes the gap between demand and supply of such medicinal plant can be fulfilled.

Current Status of Saussurea heteromalla was investigated in Galiyat areas of District Abbottabad, viz., Jahaffar, Seri, Beeran Gali, Banj, Haryala, Daryala Gali, Sarbhanna, Barriyan, Akhreela and Broangiala. Saussurea heteromalla was found common in Seri, Sarbhanna and Barriyan; endangered in Haryala, Jahaffar, Banj, Daryala Gali and Beeran Gali and absent in Akhreela and Broangiala. In vitro regeneration of Saussurea heteromalla (D. Don.) Hand-Mazz on MS media was conducted and shoots were developed on full strength MS medium supplemented with 1 mgL-1 GA3. The developed shoots were transferred for root induction to half strength MS medium fortified with various concentrations of Indole butyric acid (IBA) and α-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) i.e. T1 (control), T2 (2 mgL-1 IBA), T3 (3 mgL-1 IBA), T4 (4 mgL-1 IBA), T5 (1 mgL-1 NAA), T6 (2 mgL-1 NAA) and T7 (3 mgL-1 NAA). Maximum mean shoot length (6.3 cm), mean number of leaves (7), mean number of nodes (5.25); highest root emergence percentage (71%), means root length (1.5 cm), mean number of roots (3) and highest survival rate (100%) was recorded in treatment T4. However, treatments T5 and T6 also seem to be effective for in vitro rooting of Saussurea heteromalla. Treatments T2, T3 and T7 showed minimum root growth. It was concluded that IBA at higher concentration is more effective for in vitro rooting and better shoot growth of Saussurea heteromalla whereas NAA also initiate rooting but at lower concentration.

Paphiopedilum x dalatense is a beautiful orchid species with large flowers in variable colors and leaves covered with stripes and beautiful unseen mosaic spots. Recently, many people exploit this species, causing it becomes very rare. In this study, we studied the effects of various organic matter: potato, banana and tryptone, yeast powder, peptone on the growth and development of P. dalatense shoots as well as the effects of NAA and humic acid on in vitro rooting of this orchid were investigated. The research results showed that MS medium supplemented with 100 g/L banana in combination with 100 g/L potato (5,4 shoots/sample, 18,8 mm/shoot, 4,5 leaves/shoot, and shoots survival rate of 100%) or MS medium supplemented with 1 g/L peptone (4,19 shoots/sample, 15 mm/shoot, 4 leaves/bud, and 92% of shoots survival rate) were the best response for the shoot formation and development. In addition, the half strength MS culture medium supplemented with 1 mg/L NAA (5,2 leaves/sample, 4,6 roots/buds, 3,56 cm/root, and 100% rate for rooting) was the suitable medium for the in vitro rooting of P. dalatense. Being cultured on half strength MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L humic acid, the rooting rate reached 100% with the greatest root number and the longest root (5 roots/shoots, 5,5 cm/root). The obtained results on the in vitro propagation on this orchid helps contribute to the conservation and increases the genotic pool of this precious wild orchid species, as well as the rapid multiplication of healthy plantlets serving the commercialization of precious orchid species.

Pineapple explants of different length (5, 10, 15, and 20 mm long) were cultured at different densities (one, two, three, four, and five explants per culture) on full strength, agar solidified MS medium supplemented with sucrose at 30 g/l and IBA at 2.0 mg/l for 60 days. The rooting ability (rooting %, root number, and length) of the explants were not affected by the explants' length and explants' densities per culture. Irrespective of length and densities, 82 % of the explants rooted and produced 4.1 roots each 17.7 mm long. Moreover, overall explants lengths, plantlet height was not affected by explants density and were about 50.5 mm tall. On contrary, overall density, explant of different lengths developed into plantlets of significantly different height. Plantlets' height increased from 39.2 to 49.6; 55.9 and 57.4 mm as the explants length increased from 5 to 10; 15 and 20 mm respectively.

Limoniastrum monopetalum is an evergreen perennial shrub native to Mediterranean coastal sands and salt marshes. It has adapted to a variety of environmental stresses and is used in traditional medicine and as an ornamental plant. In the present study, an efficient micropropagation protocol for this species was developed to facilitate the production of selected genotypes and promote its wider use. Research has focused on the effects of various cytokinin types [benzyladenine (BA), zeatin, 6-furfurylaminopurine (kinetin) or 6-γ-γ-dimethylallilopurine (2iP)] and concentrations (0.0–4.0 mg·L−1) and various NaCl concentrations (0.0–20 g·L−1) during all stages of in vitro culture. For in vitro establishment, Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.5 mg·L−1 BA and 0.0 or 5.0 g·L−1 NaCl was most appropriate (100% explant response, 3–4 shoots per explant, 2 cm shoot length). The best results for shoot multiplication (100% response, 9 shoots per explant, 0.8–1.0 cm shoot length) were obtained with low (0.5 mg·L−1) BA or relatively high (2.0 mg·L−1) kinetin concentrations in the medium; however, 0.5 mg·L−1 kinetin should be preferred in the case of production of multiple rooted microshoots during one stage. The addition of NaCl at relatively low concentrations (2.5 or 5.0 g·L−1) in a medium supplemented with 0.5 mg·L−1 BA doubled shoot multiplication but did not improve shoot elongation (100% explant response, 16 shoots per explant, 0.8 cm shoot length). For in vitro rooting, half-strength MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg·L−1 IBA was most appropriate (97% rooting, 9.4 roots per microshoot, 1.2 cm root length). Regarding the effects of NaCl on in vitro rooting, microshoots were relatively tolerant to NaCl concentrations up to 10.0 g·L−1. The effects of NaCl depend on the micropropagation stage; they are synergistic during shoot multiplication and tolerant during rooting. However, explants responded satisfactorily in its absence, indicating that NaCl was not necessary as a medium component. Ex vitro acclimatization and establishment of plantlets was 100% successful in a mixture of peat:perlite 1:1 or 2:1 (v/v).

Protocols were developed for micropropagation and induction of autopolyploids in a fastigiate cultivar of Norway maple (A. platanoides L. ‘Crimson Sentry’). Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, woody plant medium (WPM), and Quoirin and Lepoivre medium were supplemented with 2 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), meta-Topolin, 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino) purine, kinetin, or thidiazuron to evaluate microshoot proliferation. Murashige and Skoog medium with 2 μM BA yielded the most microshoots (3.2) and longest microshoots (30.6 mm) per subsample after 5 weeks. The influence of BA concentration on proliferation was evaluated at 0, 2, 4, 8, or 16 μM. Optimal multiplication rate was achieved at 2 or 4 μM BA producing approximately 2.8 microcuttings per subsample after 5 weeks. To induce in vitro rooting, half-strength WPM was supplemented with 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, or 80 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Optimal in vitro rooting (70%), number of roots (2.5), and root length (15 mm) per subsample were achieved with 10 μM IBA after 8 weeks. To induce polyploidy, microcuttings were pretreated for 7 days on MS medium with 4 μM BA alone or combined with 1 μM IBA, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), or 1-naphthaleneacetic acid prior to treatment in liquid MS medium containing 15 μM oryzalin for 3 days. Homogenous tetraploids were only obtained from shoots pretreated with IAA. This research provides optimized protocols for micropropagation and autopolyploid induction of A. platanoides ‘Crimson Sentry’ and demonstrates the development of tetraploid lines for use in future improvement programs.

AbstractHybanthus enneaspermusis a rare medicinal plant. We defined a protocol for micropropagation,ex vitrorooting of cloned shoots and their acclimatization. Surface-sterilized nodal segments were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with different concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and kinetin (Kin). Medium supplemented with 1.5 mg L−1BAP was found optimum for shoot induction from the explants and 6.4±0.69 shoots were regenerated from each node with 97% response. Shoots were further proliferated maximally (228±10.3 shoots per culture bottle with 7.5±0.43 cm length) on MS medium augmented with 1.0 mg L−1each of BAP and Kin within 4–5 weeks. The shoots were rootedin vitroon half strength MS medium containing 2.0 mg L−1indole-3 butyric acid (IBA). The cloned shoots were pulse-treated with 300 mg L–1 of IBA and cultured on soilrite® in a greenhouse. About 96% of the IBA-pulsed shoots rootedex vitroin soilrite®, each shoot producing 12.5±0.54 roots with 5.1±0.62 cm length. Theex vitrorooted plantlets showed a better rate of survival (92%) in a field study thanin vitrorooted plantlets (86%). A comparative foliar micromorphological study ofH. enneaspermuswas conducted to understand the micromorphological changes during plant developmental processes fromin vitrotoin vivoconditions in terms of variations in stomata, vein structures and spacing, and trichomes. This is the first report onex vitrorooting inH. enneaspermusand the protocol can be exploited for conservation and large-scale propagation of this rare and medicinally important plant.

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.
