Abstract: | Role of Thidiazuron (TDZ) in inducing adventitious organogenesis in Pongamia was studied. TDZ at different concentrations (0, 0.45, 2.27, 4.54, 6.71, 9.08, 11.35, 13.12 and 22.71 μM) were used for induction
of caulogenic bud formation in deembryonated cotyledon explants. Each cotyledon was cut into three segments and identified
as proximal, middle and distal. Duration of TDZ exposure, influence of the segment and orientation of the explant were studied.
TDZ at 11.35 μM concentration was optimum for the induction of shoots and rapid elongation. Shoots induced at higher concentration
elongated after several passages in growth regulator free medium, thereby extending the period of differentiation. Exposure
of the explant for 20 days yielded more number of buds than 10 days. Proximal segment of the cotyledon was more responsive.
Contact of abaxial surface in the medium was more effective and generated more buds than the adaxial side. Buds differentiated
and elongated on transfer to MS basal medium for 8–12 passages of 15 days each. Rooting and elongation of shoots was achieved
in charcoal supplemented half-strength MS medium. Rooted plantlets survived on transfer to sand soil mixture. The plants were
hardened and transferred to green house. This is the first report on in vitro regeneration of Pongamia pinnata via adventitious organogenesis using TDZ. This protocol may find application in studies in genetic transformation, isolation
of somaclonal variants and in induction of mutants. It also provides a system to study the inhibitory role of TDZ on shoot
differentiation. |
