Abstract: | An efficient, rapid and reproducible plant regeneration protocol was successfully developed for Cassia angustifolia using nodal explants excised from 14-day-old aseptic seedlings. Of the two cytokinins, 6-benzyladenine (BA) and thidiazuron
(TDZ) evaluated as supplements to Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, TDZ at an optimal concentration of 5.0 μM was effective
in inducing multiple shoots. The highest rate of shoot multiplication was achieved on MS medium supplemented with 5.0 μM TDZ
and 1.0 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at pH 5.8. The regenerated shoots when subcultured on hormone free MS medium considerably
increased the rate of shoot multiplication and shoot length by end of fourth subculture passage. Rooting was achieved on the
isolated shoots using MS medium with 60 μM indole -3- butyric acid (IBA) and 1% activated charcoal for 1 week and subsequently
transferring the shootlets to half strength MS liquid media without IBA and activated charcoal. The in vitro raised plantlets
with well-developed shoot and roots were successfully established in earthen pots containing garden soil and grown in greenhouse. |
