Abstract: | A simple and efficient procedure was developed for in vitro propagation of Solanum aculeatissimum Jacq. using leaf and petiole explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with α-naphthalene acetic
acid (NAA) and 6-benzyladenine (BA). Effects of various plant growth regulators, explant types, carbohydrates, and basal salts
on induction of adventitious shoots were also studied. Leaf explants appeared to have better regeneration capacity than petiole
explants in the tested media. The highest regeneration frequency (79.33 ± 3.60%) and shoot number (11.33 ± 2.21 shoots per
explant) were obtained in leaf explants in MS medium containing 3% sucrose and 0.8% agar, supplemented with 0.1 mg/l NAA and
2.0 mg/l BA, whereas petiole explants were more responsive to 0.1 mg/l NAA and 1.0 mg/l thiadiazuron. Developed shoots rooted
best on MS medium with 1.0 mg/l indole acetic acid (IAA), producing 18.33 ± 2.51 roots per shoot. Histological investigation
showed that the shoot buds originated mainly from epidermal cells of wounded tissues, without callus formation. The regenerated
plantlets were successfully acclimatized in a greenhouse, where over 90% developed into morphologically normal and fertile
plants. Results of flow cytometry analysis on S. aculeatissimum indicated no variation in the ploidy levels of plants regenerated via direct shoot formation and showed almost the same phenotype
as that of mother plants. This adventitious shoot regeneration method may be used for large-scale shoot propagation and genetic
engineering studies of S. aculeatissimum. |
