Abstract: | Current research on somatic embryogenesis of bamboo uses reproductive tissue as explants. However, it was hard to obtain the explant. Shoots of a local accession (3–4 m high) were used for multiple shoot production. In order to obtain embryogenic callus, nodal and internodal tissues from in vitro plantlets were placed on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 9.2 M kinetin (KN), 13.6 M 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 0.1% (v/v) coconut milk, and 6% (w/v) sucrose. We studied the effects of sucrose and thidiazuron (TDZ) on callus proliferation. Optimal additives to the MS medium for embryogenic callus proliferation were 0.046 M TDZ, 13.6 M 2,4-D and 3% (w/v) sucrose. TDZ also promoted the germination of bamboo somatic embryos. The germination rate of the somatic embryos exceeded 80% on MS-based medium supplemented with 0.455M TDZ. Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) reduced germination. Well-developed plantlets were successfully transferred to soil. There was no albino mutant in subsequent culture. In vitro regenerants and potted plants flowered, but no seeds were produced. |
