This study aimed to develop efficient protocols for the in vitro micropropagation of Byrsonima gardneriana. Nodal segments were obtained from seedlings germinated in vitro with 60 days of life. These were inoculated in MS/2 supplemented with 87.64 µM of sucrose and solidified with 0.7% of agar, supplemented with different concentrations of cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine (0.0; 2.0; 4.0 and 8.0 µM) associated with different concentrations of auxin, indole acetic acid (0.0; 0.5 and 1.0 µM) and naphthaleneacetic acid (0.0; 0.5 and 1.0 µM). The sprouting were individualized and transferred to MS/2 cultures with different concentrations of indole butyric acid (0.0; 1.0; 2.0 and 3.0 µM), and presence and absence of activated charcoal (1.0 g L-1). The use of concentrations from 2.0 to 4.0 µM 6-benzylaminopurine was efficient in the multiplication of B. gardneriana, given that, using concentrations above these, a decrease in this efficiency occurs. The use of auxin interfered negatively with the results. In vitro rooting occurs even in medium free of auxin. The activated charcoal was insufficient for rooting. The use of growth regulators 6-benzylaminopurine and indole butyric acid are efficient in micropropagation of B. gardneriana, however, further studies should be performed to optimize this protocol.

Abstract Background Himalayan yew (Taxus wallichiana) is one of the endangered medicinal plants species having great importance due to the presence of anticancer drug Taxol. This metabolite is mainly used for the treatment of ovarian, breast, AIDS-related cancers, and other indications. The study being reported here was conducted for the propagation of Himalayan yew by using two different trials of Indole Butyric acid (IBA) and Indole acetic acid (IAA) hormones treatments (2000–7000 ppm) through stem cuttings (140 each). In the same way, 3840 cuttings were treated with IBA and IAA from November 2016 to November 2017 at Lalku valley, Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. Results The influence of IBA treatment (7000 ppm) showed a survival of 85.22% (average number of roots = 10.4, average length of roots = 15.5 cm, average number of leaves = 92.4 and average number of sprouts = 3.3) while that of IAA treatment (7000 ppm) the survival of 81.11% (average number of roots = 9.1, average length of roots = 14.6 cm, average number of leaves = 84.0 and average number of sprout = 3.0) were more significant followed by 2000–6000 ppm (IBA and IAA). Lowest survival 40–45% (average number of roots = 4.2, average length of roots = 8.0 cm, average number of leaves = 32.2, average number of sprouts = 1.7) was noticed for controlled cuttings. Conclusion The present study enhanced the potential of conservation and propagation of T. wallichiana. Hence our study suggests and recommends the application of IBA (7000 ppm) as a better hormone for the conservation and propagation of Himalayan yew.

Three spineless phenotypes of Acacia wrightii G. Bentham ex A. Gray were identified with aesthetic landscape potential. Experiments in seed, cutting, grafting, and tissue culture propagation were undertaken to perpetuate this desired spineless phenotype. Germination percentages for mechanically scarified seeds ranged from 33% to 94%, however yield of spineless seedlings was low (0% to 34%). Sulfuric acid scarification for 10, 20, 30, or 60 minutes hastened and unified germination compared to nontreated seeds by 7 to 8 days. Vegetative propagation was successful for softwood cuttings. Rooting measures increased with auxin (2:1 indole butyric acid to naphthalene acetic acid) concentrations from 0 to 15000 mg·L–1, with maximum rooting percentage (70%), root number (9.2), and root length (12.4 cm) per softwood cutting at 15000 mg·L–1 auxin 8 weeks after treatment. Rooting was not successful for semi-hardwood or hardwood cuttings. Whip-and-tongue or T-bud grafting was not successful. Tissue culture of shoots from in vitro germinated seedlings indicated that shoot proliferation was greatest in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 15 μm zeatin. The number of shoots that rooted in vitro increased with increasing concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid from 0 to 25 μm.

The aim of the present work was to establish appropriate conditions for the in vitro micropropagation of Eremanthus erythropappus (DC.) MacLeish through shoot multiplication on apical and nodal bud explants. Explants were excised from in vitro-grown seedlings and incubated on Murashige and Skoog medium containing different combinations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (for apical buds) and gibberellic acid and NAA (for nodal segments). Proliferation of apical shoots was successfully achieved in the presence of BAP and NAA, each at 1.0 mg L−1, while the elongation of apical shoots could only be attained on medium containing NAA at 1.0 mg L−1. Elongation of nodal shoots was induced in the presence of NAA at 2.0 mg L−1. The most suitable medium for inducing root proliferation on explants of E. erythropappus was NAA at 1.0 mg L−1.

Pandoreas, Australian natives of horticultural significance, were successfully propagated using tissue culture. A protocol for rapid in vitro multiplication of commercial cultivars was developed using nodal segments cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium containing either BA or kinetin. Maximum shoot induction and number of shoots per explant for P. pandorana (Andrews) Steenis and P. jasminoides (Lindley) Schumann were on 8.8 μm BA and 4.6 μm kinetin. Higher levels of cytokinin in the medium inhibited shoot formation. Tissue-cultured shoots were rooted with IBA. This study demonstrates that Pandoreas can be successfully micropropagated. Chemical names used: 6-benzylaminopurine (BA); 3-indole butyric acid (IBA).
