Abstract: | 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. |
