Abstract: | The effect of cobalt chloride, salicylic acid, and silver nitrate for embryogenesis was studied in in vitro cultures of Coffea canephora. Murashige and Skoog (in Physiol. Plant. 15:473–497, 1962) medium containing 20 and 40 μM either of cobalt chloride, silver
nitrate, or salicylic acid supplemented with 1.1 μM N
6 benzyladenine and 2.85 μM indole-3-acetic acid was used for the study. At 20 and 40 μM silver nitrate treatment, 35–48% explants
responded for embryogenesis, and 38 ± 7 and 153 ± 27 embryos were produced from each callus mass, respectively, whereas only
5% control explants responded on medium devoid of silver nitrate, cobalt chloride, or salicylic acid. Secondary embryogenesis
was observed in 70–90% of the explants, and around 100–150 embryos were produced from each explant cultured on a medium containing
silver nitrate, and only a 3% response was noticed in control embryo explants. Yellow friable embryogenic calluses were obtained
from the cut edges of most of the tissues grown in a medium supplemented with cobalt chloride. The results clearly demonstrated
that, among the tested ethylene inhibitors, silver nitrate is very effective in reprogramming the cellular machinery toward
embryogenesis. |
