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

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

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

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

A simple, high frequency, and reproducible method for plant regeneration through direct organogenesis from cotyledonary leaf explants of Jatropha curcas was developed using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of thidiazuron (TDZ) or 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP). Medium containing TDZ has greater influence on regeneration as compared to BAP. The induced shoot buds were transferred to MS medium containing 10 μM kinetin (Kn), 4.5 μM BAP, and 5.5 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) for shoot proliferation. The proliferated shoots could be elongated on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of BAP, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), NAA, and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). MS medium with 2.25 μM BAP and 8.5 μM IAA was found to be the best combination for shoot elongation. However, significant differences in plant regeneration and shoot elongation were observed among the genotypes studied. Rooting was achieved when the basal cut end of elongated shoots were dipped in half strength MS liquid medium containing different concentrations and combinations of IBA, IAA, and NAA for 4 days, followed by transfer to growth regulators free half strength MS medium supplemented 0.25 mg l−1 activated charcoal. Elongated shoot treated with 15 μM IBA, 5.7 μM IAA, and 11 μM NAA resulted in highest percent rooting. The rooted plants could be established in soil with more than 90% survival rate. The method developed may be useful in improvement of J. curcas through genetic modification.  相似文献

Trichopus zeylanicus subsp. travancoricus (known as Arogyapacha), an endangered ethnomedicinal plant of the Western Ghats of South India, serves as the major source of the commercial drug Jeevani. The present study established a long-term high frequency in vitro propagation protocol for Arogyapacha. Callus obtained from the branch–petiole explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 4.5 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid upon subculture to medium with different concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (BA) either alone or in combination with an auxin favoured shoot morphogenesis. Medium with 13.3 μM BA alone facilitated high frequency shoot bud (mean of 93.2) formation. Medium with lower concentrations of BA (4.4, 6.6 and 8.8 μM) alone or in combination with lower concentration of α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) favoured better shoot growth than 13.3 μM BA containing medium, but with reduced number of shoot buds. Subsequent cultures on medium with lower concentrations of BA and also on MS basal media facilitated shoot formation as well as growth of shoots. The shoot regeneration potential showed no decline up to 5 years. Culture of the in vitro-derived whole branch–leaf explants on MS basal medium developed shoots directly from the node. On medium with 19.6 μM IBA, the whole branch–leaf explants induced nodular callus from the node, which developed shoots later. Subsequent cultures on medium with BA exhibited high frequency shoot formation. The transfer of shoots after 10–15 days culture on half-strength MS medium containing 2.7 μM NAA to half-strength basal medium induced a mean of 11.3 roots. Field survival of plantlets relied on the soil mix: a 1:4 ratio of sand and red-soil exhibited the highest plantlets survival (86.6%). RAPD profile of the source plant and plants regenerated from calli after 4 years showed no polymorphism. The established plantlets with morpho-floral features similar to that of the source plants flowered normally and set fruits.  相似文献

A process with controlled pattern of regenerant differentiation from leaflet segments leading to production of cloned plants of a 40-year-old tree of Azadirachta indica was developed. A two-step procedure was adopted for containing intervening callusing during regenerant differentiation using modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, where in the first step the explants were subjected to pulse treatments having higher concentration of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), while in the second step they were cultured in one-tenth of the initial concentrations of BAP. In the present case, simultaneous differentiation of two types of morphogenetic structures, that is, shoot buds and the meristematic nodules was observed. However, differentiation of higher number of desirable regenerants—the shoot buds and a few meristematic nodules, rather than vice-versa could be controlled by increasing both, the concentration of BAP in pulse treatment and the duration of pulse treatment. In the optimum treatment, where the explants were exposed to 8.88 μM BAP and 81.43 μM adenine hemisulphate for 5 days followed by their transfer to 0.88 μM BAP and 81.43 μM adenine hemisulphate, on an average, 17.4 shoot buds and only 1.6 meristematic nodules were formed from a leaflet. On subculturing, the shoot buds developed into shoots, whereas the meristematic nodules produced three kinds of organized structures that too in varied proportions. Multiplication of shoots was sustained in proliferation medium supplemented with 1.11 μM BAP, 1.43 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 135.72 μM adenine hemisulphate. The isolated shoots were rooted and complete plantlets were transferred to potted soil with 100% survival.  相似文献

The effect of copper sulphate on differentiation and elongation of shoot buds from cotyledonary explants of Capsicum annuum L. cv X-235 was investigated. Shoot buds were induced on medium supplemented with 22.2 μM BAP and 14.7 μM PAA. Elongation of shoot buds was obtained on MS medium containing 13.3 μM BAP + 0.58 μM GA3. Both shoot induction and elongation media were supplemented with different levels of CuSO4 (0–5 μM). The levels of CuSO4 in the induction as well as elongation medium highly influenced the shoot bud formation and their subsequent elongation. Highest number of shoot buds per explant was obtained when the concentration of CuSO4 was increased 30 times to the normal MS level. Shoot buds formation frequency i.e., the number of shoots formed per explant was increased two fold as compared to those formed on control. Elongation both in terms of percentage and length of shoots was better than that on control. Healthy elongated shoots were rooted on MS medium supplemented with 5.7 μM IAA. Rooted plantlets were transferred to field conditions.  相似文献

An efficient and improved in vitro propagation method has been developed for Terminalia bellirica, a medicinally important tree from nodal explants of 10-year-old mature tree. Shoot multiplication was influenced not only by cytokinin types, their concentrations and their interaction with auxin but also by successive transfer of mother explants for different passages, subculture of excised shoots on fresh medium and different medium composition. MS medium containing 2.22 μM BAP was found to be the best for shoot multiplication in a single step. After excision of newly formed shoots, mother explants successively transferred to the same medium produced maximum shoots per explant after IV passage. Further enhancement in morphogenetic response occurred when excised shoot clumps (2–3 shoots) were subcultured on MS medium supplemented with 2.22 μM BAP, 1.16 μM Kn and 0.57 μM IAA. Half-strength MS medium supplemented with 24.60 μM IBA and 100 mg l−1 AC was most effective for rooting of the shoots. To reduce labor, cost and time, an experiment on ex vitro rooting was also carried out and it was observed that highest percent shoots rooted ex vitro when treated with 2,460 μM IBA for 5 min. Plantlets rooted in vitro as well as ex vitro were acclimatized successfully under the green house conditions. In comparison to plantlets developed from in vitro rooted, percent survival of plants those rooted ex vitro was significantly higher. Use of ex vitro rooting technique for plant production serves as a more economical option; therefore, present method can be used for large-scale commercial production of this medicinally important tree.  相似文献

An efficient micropropagation system via direct shoot organogenesis from hypocotyl segments of Embelia ribes Burm F. was developed. A high frequency (84%) of adventitious shoot induction was obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with additives (283.85 μM ascorbic acid [AA], 118.96 μM citric acid [CA], 142.33 μM cysteine, and 684.22 μM glutamine) and 1.13 μM of thidiazuron (TDZ) after 4 weeks following culture. Further development of shoot primordia into well-grown shoots of 4–5 cm in length was achieved by sub-culturing explants along with shoot primordia on MS medium supplemented with 0.44 μM benzyl adenine (BA) and 0.49 μM indole butyric acid (IBA) for three sub-culture periods with an interval of 15 days between them. The highest shoot multiplication was obtained when explants were incubated on MS medium supplemented with 2.2 μM BA and 0.49 μM IBA in 4 weeks. All in vitro developed shoots, 3–4 cm in length, rooted when grown on half-strength MS basal medium along with 2.47 μM IBA within 4 weeks. Moreover, 100% of shoots developed roots when these were treated with 4.93 μM IBA for 20 min and then transferred to pots containing soilrite mix and grown in the greenhouse. In vitro and ex vitro rooted plants showed a survival of 85 and 95% respectively, during hardening in the greenhouse for a 6-week period.  相似文献

Multiple Shoot Regeneration from Immature Embryo Explants of Papaya   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
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 revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

An efficient shoot organogenesis system has been developed from mature plants of selected elite clones of Eucalyptus tereticornis Sm. Cultures were established using nodal explants taken from freshly coppice shoots cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium containing 58 mM sucrose, 0.7% (w/v) agar (MS medium) and supplemented with 2.5 μM benzyladenine (BA) and 0.5 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Shoot organogenesis was achieved from leaf segments taken from elongated microshoots on MS medium supplemented with 5.0 μM BA and 1.0 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The addition of cefotaxime to the medium promoted shoot differentiation, whereas carbenicillin and cephalexin inhibited shoot differentiation. Maximum shoot bud organogenesis (44.6%) occurred in explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 5.0 μM BA, 1.0 μM 2,4-D and 500 mg/l cefotaxime. Leaf maturity influenced shoot regeneration, with maximum shoot organogeneisis (40.5%) occurring when the source of explants was the fifth leaf (14–16 days old) from the top of microshoot. Shoot organogenic potential also varied amongst the different clones of E. tereticornis. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analyses indicated clonal uniformity of the newly formed shoots/plants, and these were also found to be true-to-type.  相似文献

Dormant buds from a mature tree of Populus tremula ‘Erecta’ were incubated on a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 μM thidiazuron (TDZ). Induced shoots were then proliferated on medium of MS or Woody Plant Medium (WPM), or Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut (DKW) supplemented with varying levels of benzyladenine (BA). Overall, shoots grown on MS medium supplemented with 1.25–2.5 μM BA exhibited the highest frequency of shoot proliferation (>95%) and more than 60% of responding explants produced more than five shoots per explant. Shoot organogenesis was induced from both leaf and petiole explants incubated on WPM medium containing BA, or TDZ, or zeatin. Among the different cytokinins tested, zeatin induced the highest frequency (average 72.1%) of shoot organogenesis. None of explants survived on media containing no cytokinins within 6–8 weeks following culture. Overall, a higher frequency of shoot regeneration was obtained from petioles than from leaf explants. The highest frequency of regeneration was achieved when petioles were incubated on WPM containing 10–20 μM zeatin. Addition of naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) did not have a significant effect on shoot regeneration in all treatments. Shoot organogenesis was directly induced from petiole explants without intervening callus. Regenerated shoots were easily rooted on all tested media supplemented with 0.5 μM NAA. Rooted plants were transferred to potting mix and grown in the greenhouse.  相似文献

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

An efficient method of micropropagation for Eclipta alba from young nodal axils of shoot tip explants has been developed by giving special attention to ‘priming’ in vitro plantlets in view of increasing their hardening ability after transplantation ex vitro. Among 3 cytokinins—BAP, kinetin and TDZ, BAP was found most effective in inducing and proliferating adventitious shoots. The highest frequency of responding explants (100%) and maximum number of shoots (23.0) per explant were obtained after 60 days culture on MS medium containing 8.8 μM BAP. Cent percent shoots developed roots directly from shoot base when transferred to growth regulator-free MS medium. For priming E. alba microshoots, 6.3 μM of chlorocholine chloride (CCC) was found most effective. The major changes observed in 30 days old treated shoots were, production of increased number of root, elevation of chlorophyll level in leaves and increase in plant biomass. Furthermore, arrested undesirable shoot elongation made the plants sturdier and more suitable for acclimatization. The primed micropropagated E. alba plants were healthy and survived by higher frequency (100%) in soil in comparison to the non-treated plants (84% survival).  相似文献

Leaf explants of Jatropha curcas cultured on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with thidiazuron (TDZ; 0.90 μM) in combination with indole-3-butyric acid (IBA; 0.98μM) produced adventitious shoot buds directly on the surface of the explants without formation of intervening callus while shoot bud formation was accompanied with callus formation on medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP; 13.3 μM) and IBA (2.46 μM). TDZ treatment resulted in more than twice higher rate of shoot bud induction than BAP. Shoot buds were multiplied and elongated following repeated transfers to medium containing BAP (2.22 μM) and gibberellic acid (GA3; 1.44 μM). The effect of copper sulphate on differentiation of shoot buds from leaf segments was also investigated. Both shoot induction and multiplication media were supplemented with different levels of CuSO4 (0–5 μM). Significant improvement in shoot bud induction was observed when the concentration of CuSO4 was increased to 10 times the normal MS level. Healthy elongated shoots were rooted on half strength MS medium supplemented with IBA (2.46 μM). Rooted plantlets were transferred to field and survived. Histological analysis revealed direct formation of shoot buds from leaf explants.  相似文献

An efficient and rapid method for in vitro clonal propagation of Huernia hystrix was developed, resulting in shoot regeneration within 3 weeks of culture. This endangered medicinal and ornamental succulent is in high demand. Multiple shoots were regenerated from stem explants (10 mm length) cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 3% sucrose and supplemented with a range of NAA (0.00–8.06 μM) and BA (4.44–22.19 μM) concentrations. A 100% shoot response with a multiplication rate of four shoots per explant was obtained on MS medium containing 5.37 μM NAA and 22.19 μM BA. Callus produced at the base of the explant on the same medium showed root organogenic potential. The in vitro regenerated shoots produced roots when transferred to half strength MS medium with or without auxin. The micropropagated plants were easily acclimatized within 2 months under greenhouse conditions when potted in a soil and sand mixture (1:1; v/v) treated with a fungicide (Benlate, 0.01%). More than 95% survival with no observable morphological variations was obtained. The developed protocol provides a simple, cost-effective means for the conservation of endangered H. hystrix by clonal propagation within a short time.  相似文献

Micropropagation of Embelia ribes was achieved through proliferation of axillary shoots obtained from mature plants. Nodal shoot segments, collected March–May, exhibited high-frequency (75%) shoot initiation when cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with thidiazuron (TDZ) at 1.13 μM and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at 0.49 μM. Subculture of sprouted shoots from the original explants on medium containing TDZ (1.13 and 0.45 μM) during the first and second subcultures was found essential for further shoot proliferation, while inhibition of shoot elongation by TDZ could be overcome by transferring shoot cultures onto MS medium containing 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP; 11.10 μM) for the third subculture. Treating the explants with an antioxidant mixture of 568 μM ascorbic acid, 119 μM citric acid, and 307 μM glutathione prior to inoculation, coupled with subculture at 2-wk intervals onto fresh medium, both helped to reduce browning of the explants and facilitated production of five to six shoots/explant. MS medium supplemented with BAP (4.44 μM) and IBA (0.49 μM) induced shoot multiplication, producing five to six shoots/explant with a shoot length of 3 to 4 cm over a 4-wk culture period. Shoots of 3 to 4 cm in length exhibited 100% rooting within 4 wk after transfer to media containing half the nutrient salt concentration of MS medium with 3.69 μM IBA. Ex vitro rooting in the greenhouse from the in vitro shoots treated with 4.93 μM IBA for 30 min exhibited 95% rooting in soilrite™ medium in a 4-wk period. About 85% of micropropagated plants were established successfully in root trainers. Three-month-old, hardened plants could further be successfully established in the field. In 1 yr, by using the above protocol, 3,200 plants could be produced from a single shoot and 2,700 could be established in the field.  相似文献

Ochna integerrima is a medicinal and ornamental plant in Southeastern Asia. It has been listed as a rare and endangered species in China. Here we studied the effects of plant growth regulators and their concentrations on the induction of somatic embryogenesis and shoot organogenesis from leaf and shoot explants of O. integerrima for the first time. Cytokinins played a crucial role in somatic embryogenesis and shoot organogenesis. Among them, a higher concentration of thidiazuron (10.0–15.0 μM TDZ) could induce both somatic embryogenesis and adventitious shoot formation whereas low concentrations of TDZ (5.0 μM) could only induce adventitious shoots. However, 6-benzyladenine (BA at 5–15 μM) could only induce adventitious shoots. Shoot explants induced more adventitious shoots and somatic embryos than leaf explants when cultured on medium with the same concentration (5–15 μM) of TDZ or 15 μM BA. Medium containing 0.5 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid and 8 μM indole-3-butyric acid and 0.1% activated charcoal could induce adventitious roots within 1 month. An efficient mass propagation and regeneration system has been established.  相似文献

Pueraria tuberosa, a medicinally important leguminous plant, yielding various isoflavanones including puerarin, is threatened, thus requiring conservation. In this study, fresh shoot sprouts of P. tuberosa, produced by tubers, were used as explants for in vitro micropropagation. Surface-sterilized nodal shoots were incubated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 8.88 μM benzyladenine (BA), 50 mg l−1 ascorbic acid, and 25 mg l−1 of each of citric acid and adenine sulphate. Cut ends of nodal stem segments rapidly turned brown, and cultures failed to establish. When 100 mg l−1 ascorbic acid (ABA) and 25.0 mg l−1 polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) were added to the medium, explants remained healthy, and cultures were established. Bud-breaking of nodal stem explants resulted in multiple shoot formation. Shoots proliferated (35–40 shoots per culture vessel) on MS medium as described above, but supplemented with 4.44 μM BA and 0.57 μM indole acetic acid (IAA) and additives. After 4–5 passages, proliferating shoots exhibited tip-browning and decline in growth and multiplication. However, when shoots were transferred to fresh shoot proliferation medium supplemented with 2.32 μM kinetin (Kn), sustained growth and high rate of shoot proliferation (50–60 shoots per culture vessel) was observed. Shoots rooted when transferred to medium consisting of half- strength MS medium with 9.84 μM indole butyric acid (IBA) and 0.02% activated charcoal. Alternatively, individual shoots were pulsed with 984.0 μM IBA and transferred to glass bottles containing sterile and moistened soilrite. These shoots rooted ex-vitro and were acclimatized in the greenhouse. Plants were then analyzed for puerarin content using HPLC, and leaves showed maximum accumulation of purerarin.  相似文献
