Abstract: | 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. |
