Dissected white ash seeds were placed on an agar-solidified MS medium with 10 μM TDZ and 1 μM 2,4-D (shoot initiation medium). After 4 weeks, explants were transferred to shoot elongation medium (3 μM TDZ, 1 μM BA, and 1 μM IBA) solidified with 0.7% Sigma agar, 0.525% agar + 0.05% gelrite, 0.35% agar + 0.1% gelrite, 0.175% agar + 0.15% gelrite, 0.2% gelrite, or no gelling agent (liquid medium). After 12 weeks in vitro, shoot growth and number were suppressed in cultures containing 0.2% gelrite (9.3 mm and 0.7 shoots) and in cultures containing no gelling agent (6.9 mm and 0.7 shoots). There were no differences in shoot growth and number in cultures containing 0.7% Sigma agar (2.2 mm and 16.5 shoots), 0.525% agar + 0.05% gelrite (2.6 mm and 18.7 shoots), 0.35% agar + 0.1% gelrite (1.6 mm and 17.4 shoots), and 0.175% agar + 0.15% gelrite (2.0 mm and 20.4 shoots). The most vitrification occurred in cultures on medium with the lowest amount of agar, gelrite only, and liquid medium.

Lychnis cognate Maxim and Lychnis fulgens Fish. Ex Spreng are two valued ornamental plants in Korea. Soaking of seeds in GA3 solution remarkably promoted germination up to 60%, but the control (0 mg/l) was not effective (> 5%). To select an adequate temperature for seed germination, seeds, previously soaked in a 1000 mg/l GA3 for 24 hrs, were incubated at 15, 20, 25, and 30°C. Seed germination of over 20% was obtained at 15, 20, and 25°C, but only 10% at 30°C. These results indicate that the seeds of L. cognate and L. fulgens are in a such dormant state that they hardly germinate even by dormancy breaker (GA3) and low (15 ? 25°C) temperature treatment. The highest callus induction was observed in the leaf explants of the seedlings on MS containing specific concentrations of 3.0 mg/l BA and 1.0 mg/l NAA. The adventitious shoot was formed < 90% of calli on 1/2 WPM medium. The height of in vitro propagated plantlet was no different media used for regeneration. This in vitro propagation protocol should be useful for conservation of endangered and ornamental plant.Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 25(1): 1-12, 2015 (June)

The leaves of vegetative stolons of greenhouse grown Cryptanthus `Marian Oppenheimer' (wide leaf clone) were cultured in modified MS media to induce adventitious shoot formation via callus formation. The best callus induction medium was basal MS medium with 10 μM NAA, IBA and BA. Pure green (843), maroon (3), striped (2) and albino plantlets were obtained. Most of the albino plantlets were stunted, tightly clumped together and impossible to score. The medium which produced the highest average number of non-albino plantlets was basal MS medium with 0.3 μM NAA, IBA and BA All non-albino plantlets were rooted in MS medium with 5.4 μM NAA and transplanted ex vitro with a survival rate of 96.7%. The maroon plantlets became green two weeks after transplanting. Histological studies revealed that C. `Marian Oppenheimer' (wide leaf clone) has two tunicas (L1 and L2) and a corpus (L3). Callus on the leaf explant arose mainly from the L2 and L3. Apparently C. `Marian Oppenheimer' (wide leaf clone) is a GWG periclinal chimera.
