Phenylacetic acid improves bud elongation and in vitro plant regeneration efficiency in Capsicum annuum L.

 A highly efficient three-stage protocol for the regeneration of chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) from cotyledon explants was developed. This protocol used PAA in both the shoot-bud induction medium and the medium for elongation of the shoot buds. A superior medium for the induction of buds from the cotyledons was MS medium supplemented with BA (5 or 7 mg/l) + PAA (2 mg/l). Buds were elongated during the second stage on medium containing BA (2 or 5 mg/l) + PAA (2 mg/l). On this medium most of the buds elongated, and their number also increased due to the formation of new buds; bud elongation was achieved in 100% of the cultures provided the buds were induced in the primary stage on a medium supplemented with BA+PAA. The shoots that elongated in the second-stage rooted at 100% frequency on a medium supplemented with NAA (1 mg/l). The complete plantlets with well-developed root and shoot systems were transferred to field conditions where they grew to maturity, flowered and fruited normally. While shoot-bud induction from the cultured cotyledons was also observed on media supplemented with BA (5 or 7 mg/l) alone or in combination with IAA (0.2–2 mg/l), buds induced on these media were often distorted, with most not developing into normal shoots in the second-stage subculturing; a rosette of buds was seen in the second stage subculturing. On the other hand, PAA in combination with BA in the primary induction medium and second-stage medium promoted normal development and the elongation of shoot buds.

High copper levels in the medium improves shoot bud differentiation and elongation from the cultured cotyledons of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Capsicum annuum</Emphasis> L.

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.     

Plant regeneration from sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) hypocotyl explants

Morphogenetic potential of hypocotyl and cotyledon explants of the three Polish Capsicum annuum L. cultivars (Kujawianka, Passat and Zorza) was studied to develop a reliable plant regeneration protocol. Out of 8 and 15 combinations of growth regulators used in the first and second series respectively, the best medium contained BAP (5 mg·l⁻¹) and IAA (1 mg·l⁻¹). Media containing thidiazuron (TDZ) and IAA proved to be worse than those with BAP and IAA. Additionally, it was indicated that hypocotyl explants placed upside-down developed more adventious buds. ‘Passat’ was the most responsive variety (approximately 40 % of both types of explants produced buds). In the second part of experiment the aim was to stimulate shoot induction in the conditions most adapted to Agrobacterium transformation. ‘Bryza’ replaced cv ‘Kujawianka’ and proved to be better than ‘Passat’, previously distinguished as a highly responsive cultivar. The experiments confirmed a significant effect of the hypocotyl explant length and induction period on shoot regeneration. Finally, the optimum concentration of carbenicillin and kanamycin was determined.     

High-frequency plant regeneration through adventitious shoot formation in castor (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ricinus communis</Emphasis> L.)

An efficient plant regeneration protocol was established for castor (Ricinus communis L.). Hypocotyl tissue from zygotic embryo axis produced adventitious shoots when treated with either thidiazuron (TDZ, 1 μM) or 6-benzylaminopurine (BA, 20 μM). TDZ resulted in more than a threefold higher rate of shoot induction (a maximum of 24.2 shoots per explant) than BA (6.8 shoots). Our results also showed that the pretreatment of explants in the dark increased the number of shoots regenerated per explant by 82% and 36% with TDZ and BA, respectively. The elongation of hypocotyl tissue in the dark appears to be the primary cause of the increase. Comparable rates of rooting were achieved on the media supplemented with either indole-3-butyric acid (IBA, 84.3%) or 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA, 87.4%) at 5 μM. However, IBA was more efficient in promoting root and shoot development, resulting in a higher rate of establishment (93.5%) in the soil, compared to the rate with NAA (39.5%). Histological analysis showed the adventitious induction of the shoot buds originated from the cortex of the hypocotyl tissue.     

Improvement of regeneration in pepper: a recalcitrant species

Organogenesis is influenced by factors like genotype, type of explant, culture medium components, and incubation conditions. The influence of ethylene, which can be produced in the culture process, can also be a limiting factor in recalcitrant species like pepper. In this work, bud induction was achieved from cotyledons and hypocotyls—from eight pepper cultivars—on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 22.2 μM 6-benzyladenine (6BA) and 5.71 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), in media with or without silver nitrate (SN) (58.86 μM), a suppressor of ethylene action. In the SN-supplemented medium, the frequencies of explants with buds and with callus formation were lower in both kinds of explant, but higher numbers of developed shoots were isolated from explants cultured on SN. Bud elongation was better in medium with gibberellic acid (GA₃) (2.88 μM) than in medium free of growth regulators or supplemented with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) at 34.5 μM. However, isolation of shoots was difficult and few plants were recovered. The effect of adding SN following bud induction (at 7 d) and that of dark incubation (the first 7 d of culture) was also assessed in order to improve the previous results. When SN was added after bud induction, similar percentages of bud induction were found for cotyledons (average frequency 89.37% without SN and 94.37% with SN) whereas they doubled in hypocotyls (50% without SN and 87.7% with SN). In addition, in both kinds of explant, the number of developed plants able to be transferred to soil (developed and rooted) was greatly increased by SN. Dark incubation does not seem to improve organogenesis in pepper, and hypocotyl explants clearly represent a better explant choice—with respect to cotyledonary explants—for the pepper cultivars assayed.     

High frequency plant regeneration from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants of ornamental kale

A high frequency shoot regeneration system for ornamental kale [Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala (D.C.) Alef.] was firstly established from seedling cotyledon and hypocotyl explants. The ability of cotyledon and hypocotyl to produce adventitious shoots varied depending upon genotype, seedling age and culture medium. The maximum shoot regeneration frequency was obtained when the explants from cv. Nagoya 4-d-old seedlings were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 3 mg dm⁻³ 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 0.1 mg dm⁻³ naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The frequency of shoot regeneration was 65.0 % for cotyledons, 76.1 % for hypocotyls; and the number of shoots per explant was 4.3 for cotyledons, 8.2 for hypocotyls. Hypocotyl explants were found to be more responsive for regeneration when compared with cotyledons. Among the 4 cultivars tested, Nagoya showed the best shoot regeneration response. The addition of 3.0 mg dm⁻³ AgNO₃ was beneficial to shoot regeneration. Roots were formed on the base of the shoots when cultured on half-strength MS medium.     

High-frequency adventitious shoot bud induction and shoot elongation of Chile pepper (Capsicúm annuum L.)

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.     

Organogenic regeneration of soybean from hypocotyl explants

Summary Thirteen soybean genotypes representing maturity groups IV−VI were compared for organogenic responses on three media cultured under two lighting conditions with hypocotyl sections excised from 7-d-old seedlings. All soybean lines responsed by producing adventitious shoots on the acropetal end of the hypocotyl explants, confirming genotype-independence of shoot initiation. Media containing 6-benzyladenine (BA; 5.0–10 μM) induced the greatest numbers of shoots. Histological studies confirmed the adventitious nature of arising shoots by indicative formation of meristematic zones and shoot primordia from parenchymatous tissues of central pith and plumular trace regions of the hypocotyl. Incompletely excised cotyledonary buds also contributed to shoot initiation. Degrees of responses were media-dependent and varied with regard to genotype. Centennial, Epps, and Lyon gave the greatest individual responses. Between cultivars (across all treatments), the regeneration potential (percentage of explants producing meristem-like structures or shoot primordia) 4 wk after initiation ranged from 47 to 75%. Four wk later, regenerative ability (number of shoots produced per responding explant) and regeneration efficiency (number of shoots produced per explant plated) yielded 1.4–7.1 and 1.0–5.0 shoots, respectively. The optimized protocol included initiation on a medium containing 5.0 μM BA for 4 wk, then transfer onto a shoot elongation medium (0.36 μM BA) for 4 wk. For 11 genotypes tested, 66–100% of excised shoots produced roots after 4 wk on media containing 12.5–29.2 μM indole-3-butyric acid. Of 109 regenerants transplanted to soil, 94% survived and no sterility has been observed on those mature enough to flower.     

Direct adventitious shoot bud formation on hypocotyls explants in Millettia pinnata (L.) Panigrahi- a biodiesel producing medicinal tree species

A reproducible protocol developed for in vitro regeneration of Milletia pinnata using hypocotyl segments. Multiple shoots were induced from hypocotyl explants through direct adventitious shoot bud regeneration. The proximal end of hypocotyls was responsive for shoot bud induction. Silver nitrate and adenine sulphate had a positive effect on shoot bud induction and elongation. The maximum response and number of shoot bud produced in media supplemented with 8.88 μM BAP with 108.6 μM adenine sulphate and 11.84 μM silver nitrate. Elongated shoots were harvested and successful rooting of microshoots achieved on MS media supplemented with 9.84 μM IBA, with 81.1 % rooting. Remaining shoot buds sub-cultured for further multiplication and elongation. Each subculture produced eight to nine elongated microshoots up to four subcultures. The rooted microshoots were successfully hardened and transferred to field.     

An improved and reliable chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plant regeneration method

In this work we report a new method forin vitro chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plant regeneration based on shoot formation from wounded hypocotyls. Chili pepper seeds were surface sterilized and germinated on agar (0.8%) at 25 ± 2°C in the dark. Five factors that may influence shoot regeneration were studied: age of seedlings, hypocotyl wounding site, time elapsed between wounding the hypocotyls and decapitation of seedlings, culture media and cultivars. In order to study the influence of the first three factors on shoot regeneration, the apical, middle or basal hypocotyl regions of seedlings of cv. Mulato Bajio at different stages of development (9, 15, 16, 21 and 28 d old) were wounded with a syringe needle, and the seedlings were cultured on MS semisolid medium without growth regulators at 25 ± 2°C under a 16/8 h light/dark photoperiod (daylight fluorescent lamps; 35 mol m-² s-^-1) until decapitation. The seedlings were decapitated (3 mm below the cotyledons) at different times after wounding (0, 2, 4, 10, 12 and 14 d), and each explant was evaluated for bud and shoot formation ( 5 mm in length) at the wounded site after 30 d of incubation. In general, seedlings at the stage of curved hypocotyl (9 d old) wounded in the apical region of hypocotyl were the best explants for shoot regeneration when inoculated on culture medium without growth regulators. Decapitation after wounding also influenced the shoot regeneration efficiency, with 10–14 d being the best period. Up to 90% shoot regeneration in cv. Mulato Bajio was obtained under these conditions. Statistically significant differences were observed for shoot formation among 21 cultivars tested. Regeneration of whole plants was achieved by rooting the shoots with indole-3-butyric acid pulses of 60 mg L^–1 for 3 h and then subculturing on MS medium without growth regulators.     

High Frequency Induction of Multiple Shoots and Plant Regeneration from Cotyledonary Nodal Explant of Mung Bean [Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek]

An efficient protocol for shoot bud induction and proliferation employing half cotyledonary node with intact cotyledon explants derived from two-day-old seedlings of mung bean pre-conditioned on 6- benzylaminopurine (BAP) has been achieved. Explants were cultured for four weeks each on MS B₅ + 12.5 μM BAP and MS B₅ + 5 μM BAP +0.05 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA ), respectively, as shoot bud induction and shoot elongation and proliferation media, gave the best regeneration response. The removal of the pre-existing buds from explants at 12 days in shoot bud induction medium led to enhanced regeneration response. Light microscopic observations on 14-day-old explants confirmed direct organogenesis route of regeneration. Elongated shoots (>2 cm) excised from the regenerating cultures were successfully rooted on half MS B₅ medium containing 2.46 μM indolebutyric acid (IBA). About 90% of the rooted plantlets, efficiently hardened in pots having soil and farm yard manure, flowered and produced pods with viable seeds upon reaching maturity.

Direct shoot bud induction and plant regeneration in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Capsicum frutescens</Emphasis> Mill.: influence of polyamines and polarity

Direct shoot bud induction and plant regeneration was achieved in Capsicum frutescens var. KTOC. Aseptically grown seedling explants devoid of roots, apical meristem and cotyledons were inoculated in an inverted position in medium comprising of Murashige and Skoog (Physiol Plant 15:472–497, 1962) basal medium supplemented with 2-(N-morpholine) ethanesulphonic acid buffer along with 2.28 μM indole-3-acetic acid, 10 μM silver nitrate and either of 13.31–89.77 μM benzyl adenine (BA), 9.29–23.23 μM kinetin, 0.91–9.12 μM zeatin, 2.46–9.84 μM 2-isopentenyl adenine. Profuse shoot bud induction was observed only in explants grown on a media supplemented with BA (26.63 μM) as a cytokinin source and 19.4 ± 4.2 shoot buds per explant was obtained in inverted mode under continuous light. Incorporation of polyamine inhibitors in the culture medium completely inhibited shoothoot bud induction. Incorporation of exogenous polyamines improved the induction of shoot buds under 24 h photoperiod. These buds were elongated in MS medium containing 2.8 μM gibberellic acid. Transfer of these shoots to hormone-free MS medium resulted in rooting and rooted plants were transferred to fields. This protocol can be efficiently used for mass propagation and presumably also for regeneration of genetically transformed C. frutescens.

In vitro morphogenetic responses and plant regeneration from pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Early California Wonder) seedling explants

Explants from 13-d old pepper (Capsicum annuum, L. cv. Early California Wonder) seedlings were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different levels of 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzylamino purine (BAP). Multiple shoot-buds proliferated from the cut surfaces of cotyledon, shoot-tip and hypocotyl explants in one month. The best NAA to BAP combinations (mg/l: mg/l) for multiple shoot-bud regeneration of the above three explant types were 0.1 ∶ 5.0, 0.0 ∶ 5.0, and 0.1 ∶ 10.0, respectively. Root explants did not express any new morphogenetic response in all hormonal combinations tested. Regenerated shoot-buds were excised from the explants and cultured in 1/2X or 1X MS medium supplemented with different levels of Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or NAA. When cultured in full strength MS medium with 0.5 mg/l IAA or 0.4 mg/l NAA, 70% of the buds rooted in one month. Plantlets were established successfully ex vitro under greenhouse mist and grown to maturity.     

Clonal propagation byin vitro culture of Corchorus (jute)

Callus was produced on cotyledon, shoot tip, hypocotyl and root explants of twoCorchorus species on several media. Cytokinin was necessary for callus production on cotyledon explants. BothC.olitorius genotypes produced most callus on media with zeatin and either NAA or IAA, and theC.capsularis genotype produced most callus on media with IAA and either zeatin or BA. High frequencies of regenerated shoots were obtained from shoot tip explants of both species, from the apical meristem and from callus. Media with 2.0 mg 1⁻¹ BA were superior for both species, and media with zeatin were equally good forC.capsularis only. More regeneration was obtained for all genotypes after subculture of callus on media with 2.0 mg 1⁻¹ zeatin. Cotyledon callus produced less regeneration, also with differences between genotypes; explants of both genotypes ofC.olitorius produced regeneration on a medium with NAA and zeatin, and theC.capsularis genotype produced regeneration on a medium with IAA and BA. Limited regeneration from root explant callus was obtained forC.capsularis only on medium with BA and IAA. Regeneration was not obtained from hypocotyl callus. Further regeneration of shoots of both species was obtained from secondary callus after subculture, and from nodal segments of regenerated shoots and of seedling shoots cultured on basic MS medium without growth hormones. Roots were produced on about 80% of all shoots after transference to medium with 0.2 mg 1⁻¹ IBA, and rooted plantlets survived and flowered normally after transference to compost.     

In vitro regeneration via caulogenesis and brassin-induced shoot conversion of dormant buds from plumular explants of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. cv `Okrun')

Shoot buds were induced from plumular explants of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L., cv `Okrun') preconditioned on medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and kinetin and then transferred to regeneration medium containing benzylaminopurine and β-naphthoxyacetic acid. Buds differentiated 25 days following transfer to regeneration medium. Each explant produced 30 to 40 buds, but only 4 shoots. The remaining buds were dormant and did not produce shoots when maintained on regeneration medium. Shoots were regenerated continuously, however, when explants were subsequently transferred to shoot conversion medium containing 1 μM brassin, benzylaminopurine and β-naphthoxyacetic acid, respectively. Approximately 5 shoots were harvested every 30 days after transfer to shoot conversion medium for up to 7 months. No further shoot production was observed from explants maintained on regeneration medium without brassin. Regenerated shoots could be rooted and produced viable seeds. This procedure provides an efficient and reliable system for regeneration and transformation studies using cv `Okrun'.
