Abstract: | Summary Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid cv. CP 84-1198) embryogenic calluses were induced from young leaves cultured on modified Murashige and Skoog
basal medium supplemented with 13.6 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Five concentrations, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 μM, of five different growth regulators, 6-benzylaminopurine, kinetin, 6-γ,γ-(dimethylallylamino)purine, zeatin, and thidiazuron,
were tested with or without 22.5 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid to compare their ability to induce regeneration from embryogenic callus. After 4 wk on medium, the
percentage of shoot meristem induction was evaluated, and after 10 wk the total number of shoots produced, as well as the
percentage of shoots greater than 1 cm in length, was obtained. Although it had the lowest percentage of elongated shoots,
medium containing thidiazuron alone performed better than all other growth regulators tested, with the highest percentage
of shoot induction and the largest number of shoots, particularly at a concentration of 2.5 μM. |
