An efficient plant regeneration system for Mucuna pruriens L. (DC.) using cotyledonary node explants
Summary The purpose of this study was to develop an efficient micropropagation system for Mucuna pruriens, an important medicinal plant in India. A range of cytokinins was investigated for multiple shoot regeneration with cotyledonary
node explants from 7-d-old aseptic seedlings. Of all the cytokinins, 6-benzyladenine (BA), kinetin (KIN) and 2-isopentenyl
adenine (2-iP) tested in Murashige and Skoog medium (MS), BA was the most effective and 5.0 μM was found to be optimum for inducing maximum shoots. Medium types, medium strength and pH were also investigated for induction
and proliferation of shoots. The highest efficiency of shoot proliferation was observed in 5.0 μM BA and 0.5 μM α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) in half-strength MS medium at pH 5.8. The best condition for rooting was half-strength MS
medium solidified with agar and with 2.0 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). After rooting, the plantlets were transferred to plastic pots filled with sterile soilrite where
90% grew and all exhibited normal development. 相似文献

Summary
In vitro plantlet regeneration was obtained from cultured cotyledon and young leaf explants of five Indian chile pepper cultivars
(Capsicum annuum L. evs. Gujarat-1, Gujarat-2, Guntur-4, Selection-49, and Jwala). Adventitious shoot buds (ASB) were regenerated directly
from cotyledon and young leaf explants in all the five cultivars on media containing benzyladenine (BA) alone or in combination
with 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Regeneration frequency was highly influenced by cultivar explant type, media combination
and their interactions, except the interaction between cultivar and explant, for number of ASB per explant. Percent contribution
of individual source suggested that selection of explant type followed by medium combination and cultivars was essential for
obtaining high-frequency ASB induction. Across different cultivars the young leaf explant was found to be the most responsive
explant, while Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing BA alone (17.8, 26.6, and 35.5 μM) was found to be the best medium for the production of maximum number of ASB. Between the two explants, shoot elongation
was observed with ASB obtained from young leaf explants on MS medium containing BA (2.2 and 4.4 μM) and gibberellie acid (GA3) (1.4, 2.9, 4.3 and 5.8 μM). The MS medium fortified with 4.4 μM BA+2.9μM GA3 was optimum for shoot elongation. Elongated shoots were rooted on liquid MS medium supplemented with 2.9 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and successfully established ex vitro. 相似文献

Summary Micropropagation of Scabiosa caucasica cv. Caucasica Blue was achieved by culturing, separating axillary and adventitious shoots, or node sectioning on Murashige
and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with benzyladenine (BA). The highest frequency of adventitious shoots regenerated from
nodal or internodal explants and leaf blade (with or without petiole) appeared to occur on MS medium with 4.4 and 18 μM BA, respectively. Addition of 0.19 or 1.9 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid to the BA-containing medium promoted callus formation and reduced shoot organogenesis. During micropropagation,
shoot nodal explants derived from in vitro shoots cultured on MS medium supplemented with 4.4 μM BA yielded 8.9 shoots per explant within 40 d after culture initiation. 相似文献

Summary A method for adventitious shoot induction from petiole explants of Heracleum candicans is reported. Shoot buds were induced on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 4.4μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 1.1 μM 2,4-dichlorophen-oxyacetic acid (2,4-D). A wound response in the presence of BA and 2,4-D at the time of culture was necessary
for inducing shoot buds. The shoot bud regeneration was significantly influenced by size, type and orientation of explants
on the culture medium. These shoot buds developed into 4–5 cm shoots upon transfer to a medium containing 1.1μM BA and 0.5 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The regenerated shoots formed rooted plantlets on MS medium supplemented with 4.9 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). About 15 plants were established in the field for further evaluation. 相似文献

Summary Two independent experiments were performed to establish micropropagation of Cleome spinosa from stem segments. In the first experiment, direct shoot organogenesis on hypocotyl explants from 2-mo.-old nursery-grown
seedlings was obtained on Murashige and Skoog medium with different combinations of benzyladenine (BA) and 6-furfurylaminopurine,
added either individually or in combination. Best proliferation rates occurred in the presence of 2.2 and 4.4 μM BA and the highest mean number of shoots was produced in response to 4.4 μM BA. In the second experiment, regeneration via direct organogenesis was also obtained from nodal and internodal segments
of axenic plants cultured in the presence of BA (4.4 and 8.8 μM) in association with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (0.57 and 1.14 μM). Internodal explants were the most responsive on all media tested. The best mean number of shoots per explant was achieved
on medium with 4.4 μM BA in association with 0.57 μM IAA. Histological studies of the globular structures formed at the apical portion of the explants revealed direct shoot regeneration
and adventitious shoot differentiation from meristematic centers around the vascular bundles of the primary regenerants. All
shoots elongated and rooted on MS0 medium. The acclimatization rates ranged between 70 and 84%. Plants reached to maturity
and flowered 4 mo. after transfer to ex vitro conditions. 相似文献

Summary A new reliable protocol for the induction of adventitious shoots and plant regenertion from cotyledon-derived callus of Acacia sinuata has been developed. Calluses were induced from cotyledon explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 3% sucrose,
0.8% agar or 0.15% phytagel, 8.1 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid, and 2.2 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). High-frequency regeneration of adventitious buds from callus was achieved when cultured on half-strength
MS medium supplemented with 10% coconut water, 13.3 μM BA, and 2.5 μM zeatin. Histological studies revealed that the regenerated shoots originated from the callus. Among the various carbohydrates
tested, sucrose at 87.6 mM was optimum for shoot-bud induction. Addition of 1.7 μM gibberellic acid along with 4.4 μM favored shoot elongation. In vitro-raised shoots produced prominent roots when transferred to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 7.4 μM indole-3-butyric acid. Rooted plants, thus developed, were hardened and successfully established in soil (45%). This protocol
yielded an average of 40 plantlets per cotyledon explant over a period of 3 mo. 相似文献

Summary An efficient procedure is outlined forin vitro regeneration of an epiphytic orchid,Cymbidium aloifolium (L.) Sw. using rhizomes developed from seeds. Murashige and Skoog's (1962) medium (MS) containing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA),
indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), or 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) stimulated growth and proliferation of rhizomes with NAA being
most effective at 5.0 mg.l−1 (27.0 μM). Shoot bud differentiation was induced in the apical portions of the rhizomes on MS medium containing kinetin (Kn) or N6-benzyladenine (BA). The highest frequency of shoot regeneration (91.5%) and the maximum number of shoot buds formed (3.5
shoots/rhizome) were recorded with BA at 1.0 mg.l−1 (4.4 μM). NAA (0.1 mg.l−1, 0.54 μM), whenever added to the medium in conjunction with BA (1.0 mg.l−1, 4.4 μM), slightly enhanced the frequency of shoot bud regeneration (92.6%) and the number of shoot buds formed (5.2 shoots/rhizome).
Moreover, an NAA-BA combination induced rooting in regenerated shoots thereby producing complete plantlets in one step. Shoots
developed on cytokinin-supplemented medium were rooted on MS containing NAA at 1.0 mg.l−1 (5.4 μM). Regenerated plantlets were acclimated and eventually established in a garden. 相似文献

Summary A viable protocol has been developed for direct and indirect shoot regeneration of Vernonia cinerea. To establish a stable and high-frequency plant regeneration system, leaf and stem explants were tested with different combinations
of α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and benzylaminopurine (BA). Lateral buds on nodal explants
grew into shoots within 2 wk of culture in Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 20.9 μM BA. Excision and culture of nodal segments from in vitro-raised shoots on fresh medium with the same concentration of BA facilitated development of more than 15 shoots per node.
Similarly leaf, nodal, and internodal explants were cultured on MS basal medium supplemented with different concentrations
of BA, NAA, and IAA either alone or in combinations for callus induction and organogenesis. Shoot buds and/or roots were regenerated
on callus. Shoot buds formed multiple shoots within 4 wk after incubation in induction medium. Adventitious buds and shoots
proliferated when callus was cut into pieces and subcultured on MS basal medium containing 20.9 μM BA and 5.3 μM NAA. This combination proved to be the best medium for enhanced adventitious shoot bud multiplication, generating a maximum
of 50 shoots in 4 wk. This medium was also used successfully for shoot proliferation in liquid medium. Root formation was
observed from callus induced in medium containing 8.05–13.4 μM NAA. Regenerated shoots exhibited flowering and root formation in MS basal medium without any growth regulators. Plantlets
established in the field showed 85% survival and exhibited identical morphological characteristics as the donor plant. 相似文献

Summary We have developed efficient methods for plant regeneration, via both embryogenesis and organogenesis, of Smooth Cayenne pineapple,
Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. Leaf bases and core (stem) sections of in vitro shoots, produced from culture of crown tip meristem, were used as explants for plant regeneration as follows: (1) Leaf base
and core section explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 41 μM 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram, P) or thidiazuron (T)/P combinations produced embryogenic tissues. Different
types of embryogenic tissues (friable emryogenic tissue, embryogenic cell cluster, and chunky embryogenic tissue) have been
developed with varying properties in terms of growth rate and state of development. The embryogenic tissues regenerated shoots
upon culture on MS medium containing 13 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 1μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) followed by culture on MS medium containing 4 μM BA. (2) Crown tip meristems cultured on MS medium containing 13 μM BA followed by leaf explants cultured on MS medium with 27 μM NAA and 1 μM BA produced shoots via direct organogenesis. (3) Explants cultured on MS medium containing 5 μM T and 0.5 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) produced nodular globular structures, which produced shoots upon culture on MS medium containing
1 μM BA and 1 μM gibberellic acid. Shoots obtained from all of the above methods were rooted in half-strength MS medium containing 3 μM NAA and 2.5 μM IBA. Plants were transferred to the greenhouse or shipped to Costa Rica for field trials. Somatic embryo-derived plants exhibited
21 % spininess, and organogenic-derived plants exhibited 5% spininess in the field trials. 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

Summary An efficient protocol for in vitro propagation of the valuable medicinal plant, Wasabia japonica (Miq.) Matsumura is described through shoot tip proliferation and direct regeneration. Multiple shoots were induced from
shoort tips cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) semi-solid medium containing various concentrations (0.5–50 μM) of N6-benzyladenine (BA), thidiazuron, kinetin, and zeatin. A comparison was made on shoot multiplication between semi-solid and
liquid culture media. Well-developed shoots were obtained using full-strength MS semi-solid medium containing 5.0 μM BA. However, the greatest shoot proliferation was achieved on either full- or half-strength MS liquid media supplemented
with 5.0 μM BA for 4 wk (15.3±0.9 and 15.0±0.7 shoots per explant, respectively), and on half-strength MS liquid medium for 6 wk (25.8±1.3
shoots per explant) in culture. In contrast, the maximum number of shoots per explant on full-strength MS semi-solid medium
was achieved with either 5.0 μM BA (10.4±0.6 shoots per explant) or 10.0 μM kinetin (10.9±0.8 shoots per explant). Fresh weight of explants and length of shoots derived from full-strength MS liquid
medium (1055±77 mg and 34.2±1.0 mm, respectively) were significantly higher than those derived from full-strength MS semisolid
medium (437.6±17.3 mg and 15.4±0.7 mm, respectively). Quarter-strength MS liquid medium had no significant difference in shoot
proliferation when compared to quarter-strength MS semi-solid medium. Elongated shoots were separated and rooted on half-strength
MS semi-solid media fortified with 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), or indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)
ranging from 0.1 to 10.0 μM. Root formation was greatest with IBA when compared with IAA and NAA. One hundred percent of shoots were rooted on half-strength
MS medium with 5.0 μM IBA, while vigorous roots were obtained with 10.0 μM IBA. Micropropagated plantlets were successfully established in soil with 95% survival rate after heardening. 相似文献

Summary A protocol for high-frequency callus, somatic embryogenesis, and plant regeneration for Tripsacum is described. Plants were regenerated from complete shoot meristems (3–4 mm) via organogenesis and embryogenesis. In organogenesis,
the shoot meristems were cultured directly on a high cytokinin medium comprising 5–10 mgl−1 (22.2–44.4 μM) 6-benzyladenine (BA). The number of multiple shoots varied from six to eight from each meristem. The time required for production
of plants from organogenesis was rapid (4–6 wk). In contrast, callus was induced on an auxin medium and continuously cultured
on an auxin medium for production of somatic embryos. Prolific callus with numerous somatic embryos developed within 3–4 wk
when cultured on an auxin medium containing 5 mgl−1 (22.6μM), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The number of shoots induced varied from two to five per callus. Regardless of
the cultivars used, the frequency of callus induction and plant regeneration was between 48% and 94%. The seed germination
procedures also were modified and resulted in a maximum of 60–80% seed germination. Finally, the rate of T-DNA transfer to
complete shoot meristems of Tripsacum was high on the auxin medium and was independent of whether super-virulent strains of Agrobacterium were used or not. 相似文献

Summary Procedures for callus induction and subsequent organogenesis in the aquatic plant, water chestnut (Trapa japonica Flerov), were established. Phenolics exuded from explants at the callus-induction stage adversely affect callus growth. For
cotyledonary node-derived callus cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (full, half or quarter strength) containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic
acid (2,4-D) alone or in combination with benzyladenine (BA), the accumulation of phenolics was reduced and callus induction
increased by the addition of 10.8 μM phloroglucinol (PG) to the medium. Ascorbic acid was also effective in reducing phenolic accumulation, but less effective
for callus induction than PG. Half-strength MS medium supplemented with 2.7 μM 2,4-D, 108.0 μM casein hydrolyzate, and 10.8 μM PG supported maximum callus induction. Plant organogenesis was increased by addition of vitamins (0.27 μM biotin and 2.7 μM folic acid) to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.27 μM BA. Many shoots developed from the regenerated nodal shoot explants in liquid half-strength MS salts medium supplemented
with 1.08 μM BA and 0.27 μM naphthaleneacetic acid. Individual shoots were excised and cultured in liquid half-strength MS medium supplemented with 5.4
μM IBA and rooted plantlets (108) were transferred and acclimatized in plastic pots. After 3 wk, the plantlets were transplanted
in a water chestnut field and the survival rate was 100%. 相似文献

Summary Several experiments were carried out to develop protocols for the in vitro propagation of pummelo (Citrus grandis L. Osbeck) using shoot-tip explants from seedlings. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations
of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and thidiazuron (TDZ), singly or in combination with α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), was used
to determine the rate of shoot proliferation. The response of explants to all concentrations of TDZ was very poor. After 6
wk culture, the most adventitious shoots per explant (average 5.2) were obtained on medium supplemented with 1.8 μM BA. NAA with cytokinin in the medium did not improve the rate of shoot multiplication significantly. Addition of 5.8 μM gibberellic acid in shoot-proliferation medium during the second subculture improved shoot elongation significantly. Shoot
multiplication increased 3.5-fold in each successive subculture. NAA was superior to indolebutyric acid for in vitro root induction. Over 75% of the shoots developed roots when transferred to half-strength MS medium with 1.3, 2.7, or 5.4
μM NAA. 相似文献

Summary We have developed a highly efficient two-stage protocol for induction of multiple shoots from single node in vitro shoot tip explants of Decalepis hamiltonii. It was found that phenylacetic acid (PAA) had a synergistic effect on shoot multiplication when treated with N6-benzyladenine (BA). This protocol used PAA for both multiple shoot induction from nodal explants, elongation of primary shoots,
and initiation of adventitious shoot formation from primary shoots. Murashige and Skoog medium containing BA (2.22–31.08 μM) and α-naphthaleneacetic acid (0.27–10.74 μM) or PAA (7.34–36.71 μM) was used to initiate shoot formation from nodal explants. The maximum number of shoots per culture was produced on a medium
containing 31.08 μM BA and 14.68 μM PAA, while the longest shoot length and nodes were obtained on medium containing 22.2 μM BA and 14.68 μM PAA. Shoots subcultured on MS medium containing 22.2 μM BA and 14.68 μM PAA elongated along with secondary shoot formation. The shoots were rooted on medium containing 9.7 μM indole-3-butyric acid. The plantlets were acclimatized in soil with an 80–90% survival rate under field conditions. 相似文献

Summary A protocol for micropropagation of plants via axillary bud proliferation from nodal explants of Terminalia bellirica Roxb. seedlings has been established. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium with different concentrations
of 6-benzyladenine (BA; 4.4, 8.9, 13.3, 17.8, or 22.2 μM) or kinetin (Kn; 4.6, 9.3. 14.0, 18.6, or 23.2 μM). Within the range evaluated, the medium containing 13.3 μM BA showed the highest shoot length (1.9=0.2 cm) in the primary culture. When separated and transferred to fresh subculture
medium with lower levels of BA (2.2. 4.4, 6.6, or 8.9 μM) or Kn (2.3, 4.6, 6.9, or 9.3 μM), the nodal segments from individual regenerants (obtained initially from seedling nodes) showed efficient shoot induction
at 4.4 μM BA. Rooting of the shoots was achieved under in vitro conditions on two media tested, i.e., modified Gamborg's (B5) medium or Woody Plant Medium, both supplemented with 4.9 μM indole-3-butyric acid. Regenerated plants were established in the greenhouse. 相似文献

Summary Shoot tips and leaves excised from in vitro shoot cultures of Salvia nemorosa were evaluated for their organogenic capacity under in vitro conditions. The best shoot proliferation from shoot tips was obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with
8.9 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 2.9 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Leaf lamina and petiole explants formed shoots through organogenesis via callus stage and/or
directly from explant tissue. The highest values for shoot regeneration were obtained with 0.9 μM BA and 2.9 μM IAA for lamina explants. No shoot organogenesis was obtained on leaf explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with α-naphthaleneacetic
acid (NAA). The regenerated shoots rooted the best on MS medium containing 0.6 μM IAA or 0.5 μM NAA. In vitro-propagated plants were transferred to soil with a survival rate of 85% after 3 mo. 相似文献

Summary Tissue culture and plant regeneration protocols for the salt marsh plants Juncus roemerianus Scheele and Juncus gerardi Loisel, were developed. J. roemerianus callus was induced from mature seeds cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.22 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), 5.37 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 2.26 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and 50 ml l−1 coconut water (callus induction medium). The callus was subcultured on MS medium containing 2.22 μM BA, 5.37 μM NAA, and 9.05 μM 2,4-D for callus maintenance. Shoot regeneration occurred 2 wk after transferring the callus onto shoot regeneration medium,
which consisted of MS medium containing BA or thidiazuron. A high frequency of shoot regeneration was obtained when the medium
contained 13.3 μM BA. Regenerated shoots were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 10.7 μM NAA for root production. Rooting did not occur in the shoots regenerated on the thidiazuron-containing media. The callus
induction medium for J. roemerianus was also effective in inducing callus of J. gerardi from young inflorescences. The same medium was also used for callus maintenance. Shoot regeneration occurred 10 d after transferring
the callus onto MS medium supplemented with 0.44 μM BA and 0.57 μM indole-3-acetic acid. Root regeneration occurred after transferring the shoots onto MS medium plus 0.44 μM BA and 14.8 μM indole-3-butyric acid. The regenerated plants of both J. roemerianus and J. gerardi grew vigorously in potting soil in the greenhouse. J. roemerianus regenerants also grew well in a saltwater-irrigated field plot. Tissue culture-produced plants of J. roemerianus and J. gerardi can be used for planting in created or restored wetlands. 相似文献

Direct shoot organogenesis and plant regeneration in safflower 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary Adventitious shoot buds were induced directly on the adaxial surface of the cotyledons of eight safflower cultivars after
14 d of culture initiation on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with various levels of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA).
Maximum shoot organogenesis of 54.4% with 10.2 shoots per responding cotyledon was obtained with 8.87 μM BA in the cv. S-144. Regenerated shoots were classified into three groups on the basis of their morphological features and
were found to be correlated with the levels of BA. The highest number of normal shoots was obtained from 2.2 μM BA treatment. The regenerated shoots of group I (normal shoots) were rooted on half-strength MS medium supplemented with
5.3 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid, 3% sucrose and 0.8% bacto-agar. Rooted plantlets were successfully transferred to soil and appeared
morphologically normal. Histological studies revealed that shoot buds originated adventitiously from subepidermal cells. 相似文献

Summary Direct plant regeneration from flowering plant-derived lamina explants of Anthurium andraeanum Hort. cultivars Tinora Red and Senator was established on modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. Cultivar difference,
stage of source lamina and the position of explant in lamina, medium pH, and type of growth regulators significantly influenced
direct plant regeneration. Explants from young brown lamina were superior to young green lamina. The half-strength MS medium
containing 1.11 μM N6-benzyladenine (BA), 1.14 μM indole-3-acetic acid, and 0.46 μM kinetin at pH 5.5 was most effective for induction of shoot formation. Explants from the proximal end of the source lamina
gave rise to a higher number of shoots compared to the mid and distal regions. Cultivar Tinora Red was more regenerative than
Senator in terms of number of shoots per explant. The use of a lower BA concentration (0.44 μM) was essential for callus-free shoot multiplication during subculture. Regenerated shoots could be induced to form roots
on half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.54 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid and 0.93 μM kinetin. More than 300 plantlets of each eultivar were harvested from a single source lamina within 200 d of culture. Most
plantlets (95%) survived after acclimation in soil. 相似文献
