Adventitious bud formation in Alhagi graecorum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Various parts of seedlings and in vitro propagated shoots of Alhagi graecorum Boiss were cultured on different media with different 6-benzyladenine (BA) and kinetin (KIN) concentrations to compare their
potential to regenerate shoots. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 2.5 μM BA and hypocotyl gave the best results. Callus
was obtained from stem segments on MS medium supplemented with 2.5 μM BA, 5 μM 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.5 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic
acid (2,4-D). Shoot formation from callus occurred upon its transfer to MS medium supplemented with 2.5 μM BA. Mature explants which
showed a relatively low potential for adventitious buds or callus formation, regenerated shoots abundantly using the tiny-mature-explant
method. The regenerated shoots were rooted on half strength MS medium supplemented with 5 μM 3-indolebutyric acid (IBA).

This report describes in vitro shoot induction and plant regeneration from mature nodal explants of Vitex trifolia L. on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium fortified with benzylaminopurine (BAP), kinetin (KN), thidiazuron (TDZ), adenine (ADE),
and 2-isopentenyladenine (2-iP) (0.25 – 10.0 μM). Multiple shoots differentiated directly without callus mediation within
3 weeks when explants were cultured on medium supplemented with cytokinins. The maximum number of shoots (9 shoots per explant)
was developed on a medium supplemented with 5.0 μM BAP. Shoot cultures was established repeatedly subculturing the original
nodal explant on the same medium. Rooting of shoots was achieved on half strength MS medium supplemented with 0.5 μM naphthaleneacetic
acid (NAA). Rooted plantlets transferred to pots containing autoclaved soil and vermiculite mixture (1:1) showed 90 % survival
when transferred to outdoor. 相似文献

In vitro cultures of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. were raised by first culturing the root segments on modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 8.88
μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 9.84 μM N6-(2-isopentenyl) adenine (2iP), 5.71 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 81.43 μM adenine hemisulphate and 2.27 μM putrescine for
2 d followed by their transfer to the same medium except containing one-tenth of the initially used concentrations of BAP,
2iP and IAA. The regenerated shoots sustained proliferation in the basal medium supplemented with 1.11 μM BAP, 1.43 μM IAA
and 135.72 μM adenine hemisulphate. The isolated shoots were rooted to produce plantlets in the presence of 2.46 μM indole-3-butyric
acid (IBA). The plantlets showed uniform luxuriant growth under field conditions. True-to-type nature of the field-grown root-regenerated
plants was ascertained by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. 相似文献

Echinochloa colona regeneration via organogenesis in callus cultures derived from leaf base and mesocotyl expiants andin vitro flowering were achived. Shoot bud regeneration was achieved on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) basal medium supplemented with
6.66 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 2.68 μM 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 3 % (m/v) saccharose. Regenerated shoots were
rooted on half strength basal MS medium with 2 % (m/v) saccharose devoid of growth regulators. About 90 -95 % of rooted plantlets
survived in the greenhouse.In vitro flowering was induced in the regenerated shoots derived from callus on half strength MS medium supplemented with 4.4 μM BAP,
74.07 μM adeninesulphate, 0.72 μM gibberellic acid, and 3 % (m/v) saccharose. The frequency ofin vitro flowering was 80 – 90 % in three repeated experiments. Fertile seeds were recovered fromin vitro grown plantlets which were subsequently germinated into plants.

A simple and rapid method for multiple shoot formation in vitro from immature embryo axis explants of Carica papaya L. cvs. Honey Dew, Washington and Co2 is described. Multiple shoot regeneration was achieved by culture of the explants on
modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented either with thidiazuron (TDZ; 0.45–22.7 μM) or a combination of benzylaminopurine
(BAP; 0.2 – 8.84 μM) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA; 0.5 – 2.64 μM). Highest frequency of shoot regeneration occurred on
medium supplemented either with 2.25 μM TDZ or a combination of BAP (4.4 μM) and NAA (0.5 μM). Composition of the basal media
influenced the frequency of multiple shoot initiation. Stunted shoots regenerated at 4.5 μM and higher concentrations of TDZ.
Such shoots could, however, be elongated by transfer to medium containing 5.7 μM GA3. Rooting of the regenerated shoots was achieved in presence of indolebutyric acid (IBA; 4.92 – 19.68 μM), however, least
response was in presence of 14.7 μM IBA. Rooted plants were hardened and transferred to pots.

This study describes a reliable protocol for callus induction and rapid mass propagation of the ecologically important plant,
Zygophyllum xanthoxylon (Bunge) Maxim. The optimum callus induction medium was Murashige and Skoog (MS) supplemented with 4.4 μM 6-benzylaminopurine
(BAP) and 2.7 μM α-naphthalene–acetic acid (NAA), on which the callus induction frequencies from different seedling explants
were all 100%. However, seedling-derived callus did not form regenerated shoots. In order to achieve shoot multiplication,
shoots were developed from cultured plumules, at an average of 3.1 shoots per explant, and the regenerated shoot tips were
further multiplied by subculture. The best shoot multiplication from shoot tips was achieved on MS supplemented with 5.4 μM
NAA and 22.2 μM BAP after 40 d of culture. Seventy-three percent of regenerated shoots formed roots when cultured on MS supplemented
with 8.6 μM IAA after 4 wk of culture. The plants that acclimatized successfully in sand flourished the following year, with
normal morphology and growth characteristics. 相似文献

Pretreatment in thidiazuron improves the in vitro shoot induction from leaves in Curculigo orchioides Gaertn., an endangered medicinal plant 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Leaf regeneration via direct induction of adventitious shoots obtained from an endangered medicinal plant, Curculigo orchioides Gaertn. by pretreating with thidiazuron. C. orchioides is an endangered medicinal herb belonging to the family Hypoxidaceae. Direct inoculation of leaf pieces on MS medium supplemented
with various concentrations of BAP (2–8 μM) or TDZ (2–8 μM) alone or in combination with NAA (0.5 and 1.0 μM) produced low
shoot induction both in terms of % response and number of shoots per explant. Hence, leaf explants were pretreated with 15,
25 or 50 μM thidiazuron (TDZ), for 6, 24 or 48 h with the aim of improving shoot regeneration from cultured explants. After
pretreatment, explants were transferred to an agar solidified MS medium that was supplemented with BAP (4 μM), TDZ (6 μM),
BAP (4 μM) + NAA (1.0 μM), TDZ (6 μM) + NAA (0.5 μM). Control explants were incubated directly on the medium without any pretreatment.
The pretreatment of explants with 15 μM TDZ for 24 h significantly promoted the formation of adventitious shoots and the maximum
response was observed on MS medium supplemented with 6 μM TDZ. In this medium, 96 % cultures responded with an average number
of 16.2 adventitious shoots per explant. The percentage of leaf explants producing shoots and the average number of shoots
per explant were significantly improved when TDZ pretreated leaves were cultured onto MS medium supplemented with BAP or TDZ
alone or in combination with NAA. The rooted plantlets were successfully transplanted to soil with 90% success. The present
investigation indicated the stimulatory role of TDZ pretreatment in regulating shoot regeneration from leaf explants of C. orchioides. 相似文献

A rapid and efficient method for the large-scale propagation of a highly valuable medicinal plant, Andrographis paniculata Nees, through in vitro culture of nodal explants obtained from 15-d-old aseptic seedling has been developed. High frequency direct shoot proliferation
was induced in nodal explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog’s medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Amongst
the various cytokinins tested (BAP, kinetin, thidiazuron and 2-isopentyl adenine), BAP proved to be the most effective. The
shoot forming capacity of the nodal explants was influenced by the BAP concentration (1–12.5 μM), and the optimal response
was observed at 10 μM BAP, which induced an average of 34 shoots in 94% of the cultures within 4 wk. Significant differences
were recorded in terms of average number of shoots per explant (8.6–34.1) among the different concentrations of BAP investigated.
Concentrations of all cytokinins tested reach a level that can be considered above the optimum level, as marked by a reduced
frequency of shoot proliferation. The multiple shoots obtained on various concentrations of BAP failed to elongate even after
transfer to hormone-free MS medium. Elongation of the induced shoots was achieved on MS basal medium supplemented with 1.0 μM
GA3 within 2 wk. A proliferating shoot culture was established by repeatedly subculturing the original nodal explants on shoot
multiplication medium after each harvest of the newly formed shoots. The explants retained their morphogenic potential even
after three harvests. Therefore, in 90 d, about 60–70 shoots were obtained from a single nodal explant and the nodal explants
from primary shoots further regenerated equivalent number of shoots, depicting their high frequency regeneration potential
in A. paniculata. Rooting was best induced in 94% of shoots cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2.5 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), within
a wk. The plantlets were successfully transferred to soil after hardening with a 92% survival rate. The system is rapid: the
initiation of shoot buds to the transplanting of regenerants to soil is completed in 8–9 wk. 相似文献

A protocol was developed for plant regeneration of Melia azedarach L. by in vitro culture of apical meristem (0.5 mm in length). The influence of six clones was investigated. The culture procedure comprised
two sequential steps: 1) Induction of shoots by in vitro culture of axillary buds from adult trees (10–15 years old) by culture on Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium (MS) supplemented
with 0.5 mg·dm−3 BAP (6-benzylaminopurine), 0.1 mg·dm−3 IBA (indolebutyric acid), and 0.1 mg·dm−3 GA3 (gibberellic acid). The Multiplication of the regenerated shoots was achieved in MS + 0.5 mg·dm−3 BAP + 0.1 mg·dm−3 GA3. 2) In vitro culture of the apical meristems from the regenerated shoots in MS medium (0.7 %) supplemented with various combinations of
BAP and IBA.
Maximum shoot proliferation was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg·dm−3 BAP and 0.1 mg·dm−3 IBA.
Regenerated shoots were rooted on MS + 3.5 mg·dm−3 IBA (4 days) followed by subculture on MS lacking growth regulators (30 days). Complete plants were transferred to soil. 相似文献

A reproducible in vitro regeneration system for Nepalese kutki (Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora Pennell) was developed from in vitro leaf derived callus. Induction of more than seven shoot buds per explant was achieved on Woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented
with 0.53 μM α-napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.23 μM kinetin (KIN). The shoots were elongated on WPM supplemented with 0.44
μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and rooted on WPM supplemented with 5.3 μM NAA within 2 weeks. The random amplified polymorphic
DNA (RAPD) analysis indicated genetic uniformity of the micropropagated plants with its donor plants. 相似文献

A complete protocol is presented for the first time for the micropropagation of Pongamia pinnata, a biofuel tree, using cotyledonary nodes derived from axenic seedlings. Multiple shoots were induced in vitro from nodal segments through forced axillary branching. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 7.5 μM benzylaminopurine
(BAP) induced up to 6.8 shoots per node with an average shoot length of 0.67 cm in 12 d. Incorporation of 2.5 μM gibberellic
acid (GA3) in the medium during the first subculture after establishment and initiation of shoot buds significantly improved the shoot
elongation. Single use of GA3 during the first subculture eliminated the need for prolonged culturing on BAP medium. Further use of GA3 in the medium was not useful. Shoot culture was established for at least two subcultures without loss of vigor by repeatedly
subculturing the original cotyledonary node on shoot multiplication medium followed by shoot elongation medium after each
harvest of the newly formed shoots. Thus, from a single cotyledonary node, about 16–18 shoots were obtained in 60 d. Shoots
formed in vitro were rooted on full-strength MS medium supplemented with 1.0 μM indole butyric acid (IBA). Plantlets were successfully acclimated,
established in soil, and transferred to the nursery. 相似文献

An efficient in vitro regeneration protocol was developed for medicinally important aromatic plant Anethum graveolens. Nodal segments were cultured onto Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with different auxins and cytokinins
singly as well as in combinations. The optimum callus induction (93.33 %) was obtained on medium fortified with 2.2 μM N6-benzyladenine (BA) and 0.21 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid. The best shoot regeneration (85.7 %) with 12.86 shoots per explant
was achieved in two weeks when callus was subcultured on MS medium amended with 2.2 μM BA and 1.85 μM kinetin. The average
length of regenerated shoots varied from 3.15 to 4.8 cm. The rooting of regenerated shoots was nearly 100 % on ? MS augmented
with 4.9 μM indolebutyric acid with a maximum root length of 5.1 cm. Plantlets were successfully acclimatized with 60 % survival
rate. During organogenesis, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase activity increased while superoxid dismutase activity decreased.
Clonal fidelity of in vitro raised plants has been checked by random amplified polymorphic DNA using 10 selected decamer primers. It has been found that
regenerated plants are true to type plants. 相似文献

The in vitro competency of mature cereal embryos (winter, spring and durum wheats, oat, barley and triticale) was assessed for direct
multiple shoot production on culture media containing the plant growth regulators, thidiazuron (TDZ) and/or 6–benzylaminopurine
(BAP). Mature embryos of CDC Dancer oat showed the best response, with 69 shoots per explant on culture medium containing
a combination of 4.5 μM TDZ and 4.4 μM BAP. TDZ alone induced about 16 shoots per explant from the oat. Among the wheat genotypes,
durum wheat showed the most number of shoots (35) per explant on culture medium containing 4.5 μM of TDZ and 4.4 μM of BAP.
With TDZ alone, shoot regeneration for durum wheat ranged from 27–32 shoots per explant. The regeneration frequency from the
three winter wheat genotypes ranged from 11–25 shoots per explant and was highest on culture medium containing 9.1 μM TDZ
and 4.4 μM BAP. The latter culture medium was also effective for a triticale genotype, inducing 34 shoots per explant. The
regeneration from mature embryos of barley genotypes ranged from 5–9 shoots per explant. The mature embryos of all the cereals
tested could be used for in vitro regeneration with TDZ and TDZ+BAP combinations. 相似文献

Summary A protocol was developed for rapid clonal propagation of the important medicinal climber, Tinospora cordifolia, through in vitro culture of mature nodal explants. Shoots were initiated on both Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium and woody plant medium (WPM)
supplemented with 2.32 μM kinetin (KIN). Of the two basal media tested, WPM was found to be superior to MS medium for the induction of multiple shoots.
Among the cytokinins tested, N6-benzyladenine (BA) was more effective than KIN for axillary shoot proliferation. KIN was superior to BA in terms of shoot
elongation. An average multiplication rate of 6.3 shoots per explant was obtained with WPM supplemented with 8.87 μM BA. Shoot clumps harvested from this medium were transferred to WPM supplemented with 2.22 μM BA and 4.65 μM KIN for shoot elongation. Elongated shoots were rooted in half-strength MS medium supplemented with 2.85 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Rooted plantlets were successfully transferred to sand and established with 80% survival. 相似文献

Bambusa balcooa is one of the most commercially important bamboo species. Regeneration of this species by sexual means is impossible because
no seeds are set after flowering. Vegetative propagation is hindered due to bulky propagules, low rooting ability of the culm
and branch cuttings, and seasonal specificity. This makes in vitro-based methods of regeneration important. This paper describes an efficient micropropagation protocol for multiplication of
B. balcooa from nodal explants. Nodal segments were surface sterilized with 0.1% mercuric chloride for 10 min, and cultured on Murashige
and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.4 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 2.32 μM kinetin (Kn), and gelled with 0.2% w/v gelrite. Eighty-five percent of explants could be established in vitro with 90% of these achieving bud break. In vitro-formed shoots were successfully multiplied in MS liquid medium supplemented with 6.6 μM BAP, 2.32 μM Kn, 2.5% v/v coconut water, and 100 mg l−1
myo-inositol. Subculturing shoots every 3 wk yielded a consistent proliferation rate of 4.11-fold without decline in vigor. Shoot
clusters, containing 5 to 8 shoots, were rooted with 87.5% success in 1/2 MS supplemented with 5.71 μM indole-3-acetic acid
(IAA), 4.9 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and 5.37 μM naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) within 3 wk. Plants regenerated in this
manner were acclimatized in the greenhouse and under a shade net with 88% success. 相似文献

Epicotyl, petiole, and cotyledon explants derived from 14-d-old seedlings of Albizia odoratissima were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with different concentrations of either 6-benzylaminopurine
(BAP) solely or in combination with 0.5 μM naphthalene-3-acetic acid (NAA). The percentage of shoot regeneration and the number
of shoots regenerated varied significantly depending on the type of explants used, the concentration of plant growth regulators,
and the orientation of explants on the culture medium. The best response in terms of the percentage of shoot regeneration
was obtained from epicotyls cultured horizontally on MS medium supplemented with 5 μM BAP, whereas the highest number of shoots
per responding explant was recorded on medium containing 2.5 μM BAP and 0.5 μM NAA. Successful rooting was achieved by placing
the microshoots onto MS medium containing 25 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) for 24 h first, then transferring to the same
medium without IBA. Of the various substrates tested, vermiculite was the best for plant acclimatization, as 75% of the plants
survived and became established. 相似文献

In the normal form of Mammillaria elongata, shoots were regenerated in vitro, through callus, from tubercle explants excised from the upper part of the branch and cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium
(MS) with 1.07 μM α-napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 22.20 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). A high percentage of tubercles explants
of the M. elongata cristate form, excised from the tip of the branch and cultured on MS with 0.54 μM NAA and 0.44 μM BA or 1.07 μM NAA, responded
by initially forming an inflated cristate shoot, which gave cristate and normal shoots, without callus intervention, when
transferred on basal MS. Callus formed on cristate tubercles explants gave both cristate and normal shoots when transferred
onto basal MS. Normal and cristate shoots were rooted in vitro on MS with 9.84 μM or 0.98 μM indole-3-butyric acid, respectively, and established ex vitro. In both normal and cristate form, the differential response appeared to be associated with the site of the explant excision.
The formation of shoots was influenced by the season of culture; i.e., explants excised in October had a higher shoot formation
rate than those excised February.

In vitro microrhizome production was obtained in turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn.). Freshly sprouted buds with small rhizome portions excised from stored mature rhizomes were cultured on semi-solid culture initiation medium –- MS basal medium + 0.88 M BAP (6-benzylaminopurine) + 0.92 M kinetin + 5% coconut water + 2% sucrose + 0.5% agar –- resulting in bud elongation. Multiple shoots were produced from these elongated buds by culturing in liquid shoot multiplication medium –- MS basal medium + 2.2 M BAP + 0.92 M kinetin + 5% coconut water + 2% sucrose –- at 25±1°C and 16-h light (at 11.7 mol m–2 s–1)/8-h dark cycles. Clumps of four to five multiple shoots/single shoots were used in various experiments. Cultures were incubated in the dark at 25±1°C. Half strength MS basal medium supplemented with 80 g l–1 sucrose was found to be optimal for microrhizome production. Cytokinin BAP had an inhibitory effect on microrhizome production. At the highest concentration of BAP tried (35.2 M) microrhizome production was totally inhibited. Microrhizome production depended on the size of the multiple shoots used. Microrhizomes produced were of a wide range in size (0.1–2.0 g) and, readily regenerated when isolated and cultured in vitro on culture initiation medium or shoot multiplication medium. Under in vivo conditions, small (0.1–0.4 g), medium (0.41–0.8 g) and big (>0.81 g) microrhizomes regenerated. Plantlets developed from big microrhizomes grew faster. 相似文献

This study describes in vitro shoot induction and plant regeneration from a mature apical meristem and nodal explants of the endangered medicinal shrub
Vitex agnus-castus. Multiple shoots were induced directly from the axis of nodal and apical meristem explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium
containing 3% sucrose and different concentrations (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 mg/l) of 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP) in combination
with Kinetin (Kin) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), both at 0.1 mg/l. BAP and Kinetin were used as supplements to MS basal
medium, either individually or in combination with auxins. The optimal concentration of BAP for inducing bud break was found
to be 2.0 mg/l when Kinetin was at 0.1 mg/l. Regeneration frequency was highest for both apical meristem and nodal explants
(94.5% and 90.3%, respectively) when explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with BAP (2.0 mg/l) and Kin (0.1 mg/l).
A maximum of 7.7 ± 0.4 and 6.7 ± 0.2 shoots were obtained per explant for apical meristem and nodal explants, respectively.
Regenerated shoots, transferred to MS medium supplemented with either 1.0 or 1.5 mg/l BAP combined with 0.1 mg/l GA3, showed maximum elongation of 6.7 ± 0.4 and 6.0 ± 1.3 cm in apical meristem and nodal explants, respectively. In vitro regenerated shoots transferred to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/l IBA induced 90.4% of the shoots to form
roots after 30–35 d of culture. Up to 80% of the regenerated shoots were successfully established in soil in the greenhouse. 相似文献

High frequency plantlet regeneration was achieved in cotyledonary nodes of Aegle marmelos. Cotyledonary nodes from 1 mo. old in vitro grown seedlings of A. marmelos were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with benzyl adenine (BA) (0–8.8 μM), kinetin (KIN) (0–9.4 μM),
and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (0–1.14 μM) either alone or in combinations. The highest regenerative response was observed
on medium containing 6.6 μM BA + 1.14 μM IAA where approximately 86.6% of the cultures responded with an average shoot numbers
of 487.5 per explant in 7-wk time. Cultures maintained on KIN-supplemented medium showed very poor response. In vitro responded shoots were transferred to root induction medium consisting of half-strength MS supplemented with auxins IAA, indole-3-butyric
acid (IBA), or α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Rooting was best in medium supplemented with 14.7 μM IBA. Rooted plantlets
were acclimatized and transferred to the field with 80% survival rate. 相似文献
