Abstract: | Summary Nodes ofMedicago sativa, Lotus corniculatus, Lotus tenuis, andLotus pedunculatus were cultured on MS basal media with different growth regulators. InM. sativa each node produced one shoot and the apical dominance was unaffected by high levels of cytokinins, and subsequent cycles of culture. Shoot development was stimulated by the presence ofN 6-isopentenyl-adenine in the culture medium and was dependent on the genotype of the explant. Shoot development was not affected by the original position of the node on the plant nor by the plant age. Shoots rooted in MS medium gelled with starch and containing 2 mg·liter−1 indol-3-acetic acid. In the threeLotus species, node culture was a more effective technique than inM. sativa. The number of shoots per node increased with the time of culture and with the presence of 0.05 mg·liter−1 of 6-benzylaminopurine. The highest number of shoots derived from one node was achieved inL. pedunculatus and inL. tenuis by culturing single nodes, whereas inL. corniculatus stem segments had to be totally covered by the medium for success. Rooting was easily achieved in MS medium with or without auxins. |
