| Abstract: | Summary Shoot multiplication was induced in cowpea, cv. Georgia-21, from shoot tip explants. Shoot tips, 5 mm long, were isolated
from in vitro-grown seedlings and cultured on MS medium containing N6-benzyladenine (BA) at 1, 2.5, or 5 mg/liter (4.4, 11.1, or 22.2 μM) or 6-furfurylaminopurine (kinetin) at 1, 2.5, or 5 mg/liter (4.6, 11.6, or 23.2 μM) combined with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) at 0.01, 0.1, or 0.5 mg/liter (0.05, 0.5, or 2.3 μM) or naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at 0.01, 0.1, or 0.5 mg/liter (0.05, 0.5, or 2.7 μM). Cultures were maintained at a 12-h photoperiod (40 μmol·m−2·s−1) and 23 ± 2° C. Treatments with BA induced greater shoot proliferation than those with kinetin. The highest number of shoots
was produced on 5 mg (22.2 μM) BA per liter in combination with NAA or 2,4-D at 0.01 mg/liter (0.05 μM). Callus proliferated from the basal ends of shoot pieces in all treatments. The cultures also formed roots in the presence
of kinetin, but not on BA-containing medium. To produce whole plants, the shoots were separated and rooted on 0.1 mg (0.5
μM) NAA per liter. Resulting plants grew normally under greenhouse conditions. Shoot tips provide an excellent explant source
for cowpea micropropagation and can be used for callus induction. |
