The present study was carried out to assess the micropropagation of <em>Cestrum </em>(<em>Cestrum nocturnum<strong> </strong></em>L.) by using single nodes and shoot tips excised from soft cuttings using MS salts, 30 g × l<sup>-1</sup> sucrose, 7 g × l<sup>-1</sup> agar, and different concentrations of plant growth regulators in culture medium.<strong> </strong>The results revealed that the use of mercuric chloride (0.05%, HgCl<sub>2</sub>) for 7 minutes was very effective in preventing contamination and gave the highest survival percentage (99%). The highest response (100%) was gained at initiation stage from lateral bud explants on MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg × l<sup>-1</sup> of BA with most of NAA concentrations. However, in case of terminal buds, higher percentages of responses were resulted from the interaction of BA (1.5 mg × l<sup>-1</sup>) with 0.2 mg × l<sup>-1</sup> NAA. The lateral buds also produced more new shoots as well as a higher number of leaves and length of new shoots on the medium supplemented with 1.5 mg × l<sup>-1</sup> BA as compared with those from terminal buds. Significant differences were observed at multiplication stage between the lateral buds and terminal buds, since the lateral buds produced a higher number of new shoots and leaves as well as longer new shoots. At rooting stage, the treatment with 1 mg × l<sup>-1</sup> IBA gave the highest percentage of rooting (100%), the highest number of roots (13.2 root/explant), and the longest roots (8.44 cm), respectively, on half strength MS medium. Plantlets obtained were transferred to pots and acclimatized with 90% success.

The effect of the concentration of MS salts and explant type on D. serotinus rooting and acclimatization was investigated in order to optimize a protocol for the micropropagation of this species. The obtained results showed that explant type as well as the concentration of MS salts had a significant effect on rooting, and the highest rooting rate (85-86,7%) was achieved when culturing single-node cuttings and terminal buds on a half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0,5 mgL-1 NAA. Nevertheless, mean number of roots per explant was higher on the MS media (15,3-18,6) than on the half-strength MS media (11,8-13,4). The best acclimatization rate was obtained in a 4:1 mixture of peat and sand (83,3-86,7%). The explant type from which in vitro plantlets developed had no effect on the acclimatization rate.

This study was aimed to In vitro propagation of Spilanthes acmella L. Murr. It is a medicinal plant not cultivated in Iraq. Seeds were sterilized and cultured on MS medium. Indole acetic acid IAA, Benzyladenin BA growth regulators’ were used at the initiation stage. The combination between IAA and BA was used in multiplication stage. Indole butyric acid IBA was used for rooting the shoots. Results showed that 1.5% sodium hypochlorite for 15 min was very effective for disinfecting and survival. A node exhibited relatively highest response as compared with apical meristems and leaflets culture. Supplying the culture medium with 1mg/l. BA was effective for lateral shoot induction. The mean number of shoots obtained from nodes were 7.43 with a mean length 0.9 cm. Adding BA at 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5 and IAA at 0.1 mg/l. to the growth medium was effective for multiplication. Mean number of the developed shoots were 12.00, 10, 84, 10.00 respectively. Adding 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 mg/l IBA to the half strength MS medium was very effective in root formation which produced 45.0, 42.5, 40.0 roots respectively with mean length of 3.25, 3.80, 3.80 cm respectively. Results of acclimatization stage showed that addition of 1:1 Patmos and loamy soil gave the highest rate of survival 100% after 4 weeks of acclimatization. This study showed the ability of in vitro propagation of Spilanthes acmella (L.) Murr

In production, shoot cuttings of lavender are most often used for vegetative propagation, however, this method does not promote high propagation rate. The most effective method is propagation by axillary or terminal buds that requires further plant rooting in vitro. Due to, objective of our work was analysis of lavender in vitro rhizogenesis. Investigation was performed on Lavandula angustifolia cultivars with different concentration of the growth regulators in medium. After18 Day, Only 1 mg/l NAA did not stimulate rhizogenesis for ‘Record’ and ‘Sineva’ cultivars. Root primordia formed from the cambium cells. Further root growth accompanied by cleavage of the core tissues and they appeared on the shoot surface. Morphologically, a root cap, meristem, elongation zone and zone with root hairs were identified in de novo formed root in vitro. Along with normally roots, the appearance of roots accreted along their periphery with free apexes and roots with the decreased meristem was also noted. For ‘Prima’ cultivar, highest values of the mitotic index were observed on the hormone-free half-strength MS medium and on ½MS medium with 1.0 mg/l NAA. Thus, our data showed that root morphogenesis for lavender cultivars depended on the plant material and culture medium.

This research was conducted at the plant tissue culture lab. - College of Agriculture – University of Baghdad from February 2015 to May 2016. The Study was aimed to investigate the in vitro propagation of Moringa oleifera, by inoculation a single nodal segment in MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of plant growth regulators. The best responded of single node reached to 90% was achieved with MS medium supplemented with 1 mg. L-1 BA and 0.2 mg. L-1 IAA. At Multiplication stage results showed that MS medium supplemented with 2 mg. L-1 of BA with 0.1 mg. L-1 IAA increased numbers of shoot comparing with the Kin; (6.40 shoot /exp.) While the treatment of MS medium supplemented with 0.2 mg. L-1 IAA without BA gave the best shoots length which reached 4.15 cm. In rooting stage, shoots have been cultured in MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of Auxins. Results showed that MS medium at half strength supplemented with 1 mg. L-1 of IBA and 1.5 mg. L-1 IAA significantly increased the number of roots per shoot, roots length up to (7.2 roots/shoot and 6.14 cm) respectively. The survival percentage of plantlets was 70% when they planted in a composed consisted of 3:1 (v:v) peatmoss: soil mixture. We found that BA increased numbers of shoot comparing with the Kin and MS medium at half strength was the best in rooting plantlet comparing with MS medium at full strength.

During past decades, great attention has been paid to propagation of endangered plant taxa in order to preserve biodiversity. The aim of this study was to optimize a protocol for in vitro propagation of the critically endangered and decorative species Dianthus serotinus Waldst. et Kit. The effects of different concentration of MS salt (Murashige and Skoog) of the culture, medium pH and different carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose, and fructose) on shoot multiplication were examined. The best results were obtained on half-strength MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium, whose pH was 5.8, with sucrose supplied at a concentration of 3%, when shoots with 1-2 nodes or shoot tips (with terminal buds only) were used as explants. The shoots were rooted (76.7%) on half-strength MS medium containing 0.5 mg∙L-1 NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid). The obtained plantlets were successfully acclimatized (89%) in a 4:1 mixture of peat and sand and they flowered the following year. Presented protocol enables successful in vitro propagation of D. serotinus.

Apical meristems, lateral buds, anthers of immature flowers and immature embryos of chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) were cultured on MS media with different growth regulators and incubated for 6 weeks at 25-27?C with 16 hrs photoperiod for callus initiation. Results indicated that 1 and 0.1 mg/l of 2,4-D and BA were suitable for callus initiation when apical meristems and lateral buds were used. While 2 and 0.5 mg/l of both growth regulators were essential for immature embryos. It was noticed that using chickpea anthers of the MS medium must contain 1mg/l 2ip and 0.5 mg/l IAA. However, MS medium supplemented with 1-3 mg/l of BA and 2,4-D respectively was good for callus initiation from lateral buds, anther and immature embryos. However, callus differentiations in chickpea were successfully obtained when 2-3 mg/l of IAA, 2-2.5mg/l of kinetin or 0.1 mg/l of NAA and 2 mg/l of kinetin were used. Data of regeneration and culture maintenance revealed that half strength of MS medium supplemented with 2, 2.5 mg/l of IAA and kinetin respectively or 0.005mg/l and 0.05 mg/l of NAA and BA respectively was the best. The importance of this method in propagation were used for improving and screening resistant chickpea germplasm aginst Fusarium wilt disease.

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.

ABSTRACT The banana crop stands out as an activity of great social and economic importance in Brazil, which occupies the fifth place in world production. Synthetic seed production is becoming promising for a micropropagation and in vitro conservation. The aim of the study was to analyze the conversion and growth of ‘Prata-anã’ banana’s microshoots clone Gorutuba from synthetic seed in MS medium and vermiculite, different substrates and concentrations of BAP (6-benzylaminopurine) associated with ANA (acetic naphthalene acid) in the constitution of its capsule were tested. The microshoots were immersed in the sodium alginate matrix (3%) and dripped in a solution of CaCl2.2H2O (100 mM) for complexation and then in KNO3 solution (100 mM) to decomplex. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2 x 5 factorial design (substrate x BAP concentrations), containing different substrates (MS culture medium and vermiculite) and BAP concentrations (2.22, 4.44, 6.66, 8.88 and 13.32 µmol L-1) associated with NAA (naphthalene acetic acid) 0.54 µmol L-1, totaling 10 treatments, with 4 replicates, and that each replicate containing 5 seeds. The evaluations of conversion, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf height, number of roots, root length and oxidation were performed at 30 and 60 days.The use of the MS medium provided better growth results in relation to vermiculite as substrate, in which the different BAP concentrations did not differ from each other. It was found that, in MS culture medium, BAP concentrations above 8.88 µmol L-1 in the capsule composition are not indicated for microshoots growth.
