Abstract: | Organogenic cultures were induced from zygotic embryo and megagametophyte explants of the Central American cycad species, Dioon edule. Plant growth medium consisted of B5 major salts, Murashige and Skoog minor salts and organics, 400 mg l−1 glutamine, 100 mg l−1 arginine, 100 mg l−1 asparagine, 60 g l−1 sucrose, 8 g l−1 Difco Bacto agar and was supplemented with kinetin (0 – 13.94 μM) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) (0 – 9.05 μM) arranged as a 5×4 factorial in a randomized block design. Callus initiation occurred on a wide range of medium formulations from megagametophyte explants; however, shoot formation occurred only on medium supplemented with 2.26 μM 2,4-D. In comparison, callus initiation from explanted zygotic embryos occurred on fewer medium formulations, and adventitious shoot induction occurred from callus on formulations with 9.29–13.94 μM kinetin + 0.45–9.05 μM 2,4-D. Rooted shoots, derived from megagametophyte and zygotic embryo cultures, have been regenerated. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
