In vitro strategies for the propagation and conservation of indigenous species contribute to the sustainable use of plant diversity and are essential for breeding programs as well. In this study, we established an efficient protocol for the micropropagation of autochthonous plum 'Crvena Ranka' and examined the survival and regrowth capacity of in vitro shoots after 3, 6 and 9 months of cold storage (CS) at +5 oC in total darkness. Aseptic culture was established on the Murashige and Skoog medium containing 2 mg l-1 BA, 0.5 mg l-1 IBA and 0.1 mg l-1 GA3 (leaf rosette initiation being 68.8%). During in vitro propagation on the medium of constant hormonal composition, a significant increase in the multiplication index was observed in the third subculture, whereupon it was mainly stable until the fifth subculture. The effect of BA concentration and/or type of auxins (IBA or NAA) on multiplication parameters, as well as on fresh and dry weights of shoots was evaluated. BA at 1 mg l-1 in combination with NAA significantly increased shoot multiplication parameters. The effect of auxins on rooting parameters was monitored as well. Shoots cultured on the medium supplemented with NAA also displayed higher rooting ability (60%), in comparison with those grown on the medium containing IBA at the same concentration (20%). In vitro shoots can be conserved over the medium term under CS conditions up to six months. High survival was achieved after three (94%) and six months (82.5%), while severe signs of necrosis (100%) were noticed after nine months of conservation. Shoots subcultured under standard growth conditions after CS promptly regained their morphology although their capacity for multiplication and rooting was slightly lower than that of non-cold-stored shoots.

This study investigated in vitro production of diploid (AS2) and tetraploid (AS4) cytotypes of snowdrop anemone. The effect of plant growth regulators (PGRs) on in vitro shoot multiplication and rooting was investigated. The effect of activated charcoal (AC) on root induction was also studied. Ploidy level affected growth characteristics during multiplication and rooting. Shoot induction in AS4 was higher on medium supplemented with cytokinin (3.2–3.6), while the AS2 clone formed the most shoots on PGR-free medium (3.6). The highest rooting percentage was achieved on PGR-free medium in both genotypes (AS2 clone, 100% and AS4 clone, 93.3%). The addition of AC to the PGR media largely increased root induction and root length. Rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatised in the greenhouse with 100% survival. Thus, the described micropropagation protocol represents a rapid and effective in vitro propagation method for utilisation in horticulture and conservation programmes of snowdrop anemone.

Hot extract of Aulosira fertilissima (cyanobacterium) added in different proportions to MS as a liquid culture media for the in vitro propagation of Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell. Maximum numbers of shoots were induced from axillary node in MS media (40 ml) + Aulosira extract (60 ml) and maximum shoot multiplication was observed when Kn (1.0 mg/l) was added in the shoot initiation media (mentioned above). Surprisingly rooting was also found to be best in the same combination of MS + cyanobacterial extract that was used for initiation and multiplication of shoots. On an average within a period of three subcultures (2 - 3 months) the nodal explants generated 400 shoots.  Rooted plantlets were successfully transferred to the field, after acclimation in the net house.   Key words: Baccopa monnieri, Cyanobacterial extract, Regeneration, Acclimation   D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v20i2.6917   Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 20(2): 225-231, 2010 (December)

An alternative protocol for in vitro propagation of Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora is described using bavistin and adenine sulphate. The explants differentiated into multiple shoot buds on MS supplemented with various concentrations of bavistin and adenine sulphate ranging from 0 - 400 mg/l either alone or in combination. Maximum number of multiple shoots were obtained on MS containing the combination of bavistin (100 mg/l) and adenine sulphate (100 mg/l). In this combination as high as 28 shoots per explant was achieved and also vetrification of the cultures were not recorded. This study also demonstrates that the bavistin has stronger cytokinin-like activity than adenine sulphate. For instance, it was observed that bavistin alone in the concentration of 300 mg/l produced as high as 24 shoots per explant, however, adenine sulphate (100 mg/l) could produce a maximum of 18 shoots per explant. Moreover, higher or lower concentration did not improve the shoot multiplication. The microshoots were separated from the multiple shoots and transferred to MS containing various concentrations of auxins. Among them, NAA (1 mg/l) produced as high as 6 roots per explant. The regenerated plantlets were hardened in plastic cups (6 x 8 cm) containing 9 : 1 virgin soil and soil at Kyongnosla nursery and acclimated for four weeks. A 90% survival rate of the plants was recorded after 60 days. D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v19i2.5441 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 19(2): 237-245, 2009 (December)

A micropropagation protocol for an endangered slipper orchid species, Cypripedium formosanum Hayata, through axillary buds from adult plants has been developed. The season of explant collection is crucial for the initial success of an aseptic culture. Explants collected in the middle of January gave the highest percentage of explant survival (54.2%) and shoot-forming percentage (41.7%). Of the two cytokinins tested, N6-benzyladenine (BA) was found to be superior to thidiazuron for normal shoot formation. The optimum result was obtained in quarter-strength Murashige and Skoog medium containing 22.2 or 44.4 μM BA in which the cultures produced 6.3 and 7.1 shoots per explant with 10.6 to 11.7 mm average length after 90 d of culture. Regenerated shoots rooted for 60 d in the basal medium with 1 g·L−1 activated charcoal and 20 g·L−1 potato homogenate were ready for growth in pots. This is the first report on shoot multiplication in vitro from mature plants of Cypripedium that provides a reliable method for propagating the selected elites.

The purpose of our research was to establish a protocol for the in vitro culture of Viburnum treleasei, a rare and endangered taxon with high ornamental potential endemic to the Azores islands. The surface sterilization of the explants was better achieved with a pretreatment of 0.1% (w/v) Benomyl for 2 h followed by 0.2% (w/v) HgCl2 for 10 min with agitation. Shoot tips were the most efficient explants for shoot development and single-node segments for proliferation. Woody plant medium (WPM) was adequate for all micropropagation stages. For culture establishment and shoot development, a hormone-free medium was adequate, whereas a 1.1 μM N6-benzyl adenine medium supplement was more efficient for shoot multiplication. Elongation and rooting could be carried out on a 1.3 μM 1-naphthaleneacetic acid-supplemented medium. Acclimatization of in vitro-produced plantlets was achieved after 1 month with a success rate of 50%. This in vitro propagation procedure will be useful for the conservation of Viburnum treleasei through production of morphologically true-to-type plants, allowing the recovery of depleted natural populations. Chemical names used: N6-benzyl adenine (BA); 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA); HgCl2 (mercury bichloride).

Shoot multiplication of a putative variant of Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don, was achieved in vitro using shoot tips and nodal segments as explants. The addition of growth regulators to establishment medium stimulated bud breaking and shoot elongation. The maximum shoot multiplication (15.1 shoots/microshoot) and the longest shoots (7.0 cm) occurred on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) containing 1.0 mg L-1 of N6-Benzyladenine (BA) and a- Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). All microshoots formed roots and normal root morphology occurred on half strength MS salt supplied with 0.5 mg L-1 NAA or Indole-B-Butyric acid (IBA). Rooted microshoots (95 %) were successfully transferred to soil.

An efficient protocol of in vitro propagation of Plectranthus bourneae Gamble (Lamiaceae), a valuable medicinal important and endemic Red listed plant of Western Ghats, (Tamil Nadu, India) was standardized by improved shoot multiplication from axillary bud explant. An in vitro propagation system has been reconnoitered on MS with the effective concentration BA (0.7 mg/l) followed by a combination of BA (0.7 mg/l) and TDZ (1.0 mg/l) which promoted high number of shoots. The multiple shoot rate was enhanced further by adding AdS (50 mg/l). Beneficial shoot length was achieved when cultured on MS containing GA3 (0.5 mg/l). Rooting was increased on MS augmented with IBA (1.5 mg/l). Micropropagated plants were acclimatized and the survival rate was 80%. Acclimatized P. bourneae plants can be used as substitute alternative to natural populations. Using this protocol the propagated plants can be used for conservation strategies.Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 25(2): 273-284, 2015 (December)

The present experiment was conducted to optimize protocols for in vitro propagation of banana (Musa sp.) cv. ‘Patakpura’ (AAB), supplemented with different growth regulators. Shoot tips obtained from sword suckers were cultured aseptically on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of cytokinins like 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and Kinetin (KN) for multiplication of shootsand auxins such as indole acetic acid (IAA) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) for induction of roots. The best result from the initial culture was obtained from MS medium supplimented with 4 mg/l BAP + 0.5 mg/l IAA. The highest shoot fresh weight, shoot length and number of shoots per explant were recorded from MS medium supplemented with 4 mg/l BAP + 0.5 mg/l IAA + 0.25 mg/l NAA. Therefore, the MS medium supplemented with 4 mg/l BAP + 0.5 mg/l IAA + 0.25 mg/l NAA was found to be most effective and productive combination for shoot multiplication and proliferation of the culture in vitro. IAA at a concentration of 1 mg/l was found to be most suitable for rooting of the shoots. Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 44(4): 641-648, December 2019

AbstractGentiana dinarica Beck, rare and endangered species of Balkan Dinaric alps, was in vitro propagated (micropropagated) from axillary buds of plants collected at Mt. Tara, Serbia. G. dinarica preferred MS to WPM medium, with optimal shoot multiplication on MS medium with 3% sucrose, 1.0 mg l−1 BA and 0.1 mg l−1 NAA. Rooting was not clearly separated from shoot multiplication since BA did not completely inhibit root initiation. Spontaneous rooting on plant growth regulator-free medium occurred in some 30% of shoot explants. Rooting was stimulated mostly by decreased mineral salt nutrition and a medium with 0.5 MS salts, 2% sucrose and 0.5–1.0 mg l−1 IBA was considered to be optimal for rooting. Rooted plantlets were successfully acclimated and further cultured in peat-based substrate.
