Abstract: | Vanilla planifolia is a tropical orchid mainly known for the aromatic flavor of its cured pods. Callus cultures were initiated from leaf and
nodal explants of V. planifolia. Leaf explants showed better callus initiation than the nodal explants with callus biomass production maximal when cultured
on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium containing 4.52 mM 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid and 2.22 mM benzyladenine (BAP).
Callus transferred to MS basal medium supplemented with 13.32 μM BAP, and 13.43 μM naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) showed superior
growth response and produced 14.0 ± 1.0 shoots with an average length of 3.6 ± 0.1 cm after 40 d. Subsequent transfer of the
proliferated shootlets to MS basal medium supplemented with 8.88 μM BAP and 8.08 μM NAA produced 12.3 ± 0.14 plantlets with
an average height of 3.6 cm ± 0.10 cm. All plantlets produced profuse rooting within 35–40 d after transfer to half-strength
MS basal medium supplemented with NAA in combination with indole-3-acetic acid. Rooted plantlets were transferred for hardening,
with 80% of the plantlets becoming successfully established in the field. Potentially, more than 100,000 plantlets could be
produced within eight subcultures from callus obtained from leaf explant through the methods described here. |
