Tissue culture is an essential requirement in plant science to preserve genetic resources and to expand naturally occurring germplasm. A variety of naturally occurring and synthetic hormones are available to induce the processes of dedifferentiation and redifferentiation. Not all plant material is susceptible to tissue culture, and often complex media and hormone requirements are needed to achieve successful plant propagations. The availability of new hormones or chemicals acting as hormones are critical to the expansion of tissue culture potentials. Phloroglucinol has been shown to have certain hormone-like properties in a variety of studies. Ornithogalum dubium, an important geophyte species, was used to characterise the potential of phloroglucinol as the sole plant-like hormone in a tissue culture experiment. Tissue culture, plant regeneration, total phenolic and genetic variability were established by applying a variety of methods throughout long-term experiments. Phloroglucinol did induce callus formation and plant regeneration when used as the sole supplement in the media at a rate of 37%, thus demonstrating auxin/cytokines-like properties. Callus formation was of 3 types, friable and cellular, hard and compact, and a mixture of the two. The important finding was that direct somatogenesis did occur albeit more frequently on younger tissue, whereby rates of induction were up to 52%. It is concluded that phloroglucinol acts as a “hormone-like” molecule and can trigger direct embryogenesis without callus formation.

s. The cotyledons, Internodes, leaves and stems of sweet broad pea were studied on tissue culture. Research results show that: The ability of different explants for callus formation and adventitious bud differentiation in different culture medium is different. The callus formation rate and sprouting rate of Internodes is significantly higher than other explants, which is a ideal material for tissue culture. The callus formation rate of Internodes was 100% in MS +BA1.0 mg/L+NAA 1.0 mg/L and MS+ 2, 4-D 0.5 mg/L; The bud differentiation is best at the medium of MS+ 6-BA 2 mg/L, which reached 86.7%; the rooting rate was 83.3% at the medium of MS+ NAA 3mg/L. The study provides a experimental basis for further study on the plant regeneration in the sweet broad pea.

Eight Australian barley cultivars were tested for efficiency of embryonic callus initiation and plant regeneration, from immature embryo explants in tissue culture. Optimisation of tissue culture conditions was performed for cultivars Bandulla, Clipper, Schooner and Tallon in an attempt to increase regeneration frequencies to levels suitable for genetic engineering of barley. Variables tested were 2,4-D concentration, salt composition, carbon source and immature embryo explant. Optimal culture medium composition varied between cultivars. Shoot regeneration rates from culture of isolated scutellar tissues were low for all four cultivars. Halved, immature embryos produced most shoots for cultivars Clipper, Schooner and Tallon, whereas Bandulla performed best with entire immature embryo explants. Clipper (a malting barley) and Bandulla (a feed barley) are suggested as model Australian cultivars for transformation studies. Immature embryos of Bandulla produced an average of 5.3 shoots and Clipper 10.1 shoots per embryo under optimal conditions. Our results show that rates of somatic embryo and plant regeneration sufficient for use in transformation studies can be achieved for diverse Australian Barley cultivars, through systematic testing of a range of key variables including explant type and medium composition.
