Abstract: | Shoot tips from four accessions (IC249250, IC 426442, IC 375976, and IC468878) of Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst., a commercially valuable memory revitalizing medicinal plant, were cryopreserved using a vitrification technique. Depending on the genotype, 0 to 20% plant regeneration without intermediary callus was achieved from cryopreserved shoot tips. Genetic stability of plants derived from cryopreserved shoot tips was assessed using biochemical and molecular markers. The regenerated plants from non-frozen controls and cryopreserved shoot tips exhibited morphological similarity to respective parental material when transferred to soil. On the basis of ten random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and bacoside A content using HPLC analysis, no significant reproducible variation was observed between the controls and in vitro-cryopreserved plants. Thus, after cryopreservation treatment, the regenerated plants exhibited molecular and biochemical genetic stability. |
