Multiple shoot induction is a powerful tool for mass propagation of promisingclones and is essential to asparagus due to its dioecious nature. Along this line anexperimental research conducted to determine the most effective plant growth regulators(PGRs) that would induce multiple shoot formation from asparagus nodalstem explants using agar-solidified Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium. Fourcombinations of kinetin or benzyl amino purine (BAP) and naphthalene acetic acid(NAA), arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design, served as treatments withhormone-free MS medium as control. Treatment means were compared using Duncan’sMultiple range Test (DMRT). Only medium supplemented with PGRs initiatedshoots. Among the treatments, the medium containing 0.5 mg/L kinetin and0.1 mg/L NAA, or 0.5 mg/L BAP and 0.1 mg/L NAA significantly induced thehighest percentage (100%) shoots from cultured explants after 15.27 and 22.97 days,respectively. The same PGR combinations produced an average of 3-4 shoots per explantsafter eight weeks of culture. The medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L kinetinand 0.1 mg/L NAA produced longer shoots (4.64 cm) of which 10% produced roots.This PGR combination is recommended since produced the best shoot attributes andlikewise shorten the duration of in vitro culture.Keywords: Botany, plant tissue culture, multiple shoot induction, experimental design,Cebu City, Philippines

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a medicinal herb belonging to the family ofAsteraceae. It is a natural sweetener plant, which is estimated to be 300 timessweeter than cane sugar. In this study, reliable protocol was developed for directorganogenesis of S. rebaudiana using in vitro derived nodal explants. Seeds werecollected from mother plants and they were surface sterilized. To optimize thesurface sterilization procedure, dark color (fertile seeds) seeds were surfacesterilized using different concentrations and in different exposure time ofcarbendazim and sodium hypochlorite (Clorox). Out of different combinations0.2% carbendazim for 5 minutes, 10% sodium hypochlorite for 10 minutes and70% ethanol each followed by two successive washings in sterile distilled waterwas found to be the best for surface sterilization. Two sets of seeds (fresh, stored)were cultured on MS basal medium supplemented with different concentrations ofGA3 for seed germination. According to the results seed viability was lost withtime and it affected seed germination. Seed germination was not affected by GA3,but seedling height was affected by it. Seeds germinated on MS mediumsupplemented with 3.0 mg/L GA3 showed the highest seedling height after 10days. MS basal medium supplemented with different concentrations of BAP andKin were tested for shoot bud and multiple shoot induction. Out of different mediaMs basal medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L BAP was found to be the bestmedium for shoot bud and multiple shoot induction within 60 days.

An efficient protocol for plant regeneration through multiple shoots induction from shoot tips of Polygonum hydropiper (L.) was established. The highest percentage (96.6) of multiple shoot induction and number of shoots (9.0) per culture were found on MS supplemented with 2.0 mg/l Kn. The induced shoots were excised and inoculated on to MS contains different concentrations of IBA or NAA for rooting. The highest percentage (90.0) of root induction and the highest number of roots per shoot (12.0) was found on MS having 1.0 mg/l IBA. Well rooted plantlets were acclimated properly and transplanted in the soil under natural condition, where cent per cent plantlets survived and grew successfully. Key words:  Polygonum hydropiper, Shoot tips, In vitro propagation D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v20i1.5970 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 20(1): 73-79, 2010 (June)

‘Hom Rangsi’ was the non-photoperiod aromatic mutant rice which derived from fast neutron radiation KDML 105. ‘Hom Rangsi’ seeds were cultured on MS solid medium without any supplemented for a week. And then, all explants were placed on MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium supplemented with 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 mg/L BA (benzyladenine) for multiple shoot induction. The optimal concentration of BA for induced multiple shoot induction of ‘Hom Rangsi’ line was MS + BA 25 mg/L, the highest number of shoots were 5.38 shoot/seed. The following experiment was done, irradiated ‘Hom Rangsi’ seeds with 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 Gy gamma ray which cultured on MS solid medium supplemented with 400 mg/L Al3+ pH 2.9 were selected for acid tolerance lines. After six weeks cultured, the survivals of irradiated plantlets were 86.32, 77.78, 58.95, 58.95, 21.87% and the height of irradiated plantlets were 8.4, 8.3, 6.7, 6.6, 6.1 cm respectively without any shoot budding. All survival plantlets were transferred to suitable MS + BA 25 mg/L medium which discovered from the first experiment for multiple shoot budding. After six weeks cultured, the maximum of 5.24 shoots/plantlet were found from 300 Gy irradiation significantly and followed by 400, 200, 0 and 100 Gy irradiation treatments which gave 4.55 and 4.41, 4.37 and 4.31 shoots/planlet respectively.

An efficient protocol for the rapid micropropagation of medicinally important Elephantopus scaber has been standardized using cotyledonary node explants. Direct multiple shoot induction was observed when the cotyledonary node explants at various age groups were cultured on MS medium supplemented with various plant growth regulators. The highest shoot induction was obtained when the cotyledonary node explants from 20-day-old seedlings were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg L-1 TDZ and 0.5 mg L-1 NAA. On this medium, 98% of the cultures responded, with an average number of 33.7 shoots per explant. The highest frequency of rooting (100%) and mean number of roots (3.3 per shoot) were observed when the shoots were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg L-1 IBA. The plantlets raised in vitro were acclimatized and transferred to soil with a 92% success rate. The protocol described here may be utilized for multiplication and conservation of elite clones of E. scaber.

Abstract Background Moringa stenopetala belongs to the flowering family Moringaceae and genus Moringa. It is often referred to as the East African Moringa tree because it is native only to southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya. The expansion of its cultivation and utilization throughout the world especially in Africa is becoming important. For such expansion, the existing propagation method is limiting, so it needs a good propagation system to supply enough planting material with a uniform genotype. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to optimize an in vitro shoot multiplication protocol for M. stenopetala by using shoot tip as explants. Results Shoots were sterilized and cultured on Muraghige and Skoog (MS) medium for in vitro shoot initiation. For multiple shoot induction, the explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of kinetin (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 mg/L) with Indole-3- butyric acid (IBA) or α -naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (0.01, 0.1, 0.5 mg/L) and maintained at 25 ± 2 °C for four weeks. Rooting was achieved by culturing well developed shoots in half-strength MS medium containing IBA (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mg/L), NAA (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mg/L), and 0.5 mg/L IBA with NAA (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mg/L). Statistical analysis revealed that there was a significant difference among all treatments applied in both shoot multiplication and rooting experiments. The maximum number of shoots per explant (3.43 ± 1.41) and 7.97 ± 4.18 leaves per explant were obtained on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L kinetin with 0.01 mg/LNAA. The highest mean number of roots per shoot (1.63 ± 1.03) and mean root length (0.87 ± 1.22 cm) were obtained on MS medium containing 1.0 mg/LNAA and 0.1 mg/LIBA alone respectively. After acclimatization, 76% of plants were survived in the greenhouse. Conclusion In general, using NAA with kinetin for shoot multiplication was effective than kinetin with IBA. On the other hand, the application of 1.0 mg/L NAA alone and 1.0 mg/L NAA with 0.5 mg/L IBA were more effective for root induction.
