Murashige And Skoog Medium

Explants of cucumber seedlings having different lengths of hypocotyl attached were grown axenically on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with kinetin (2 mg L-1). Multiple shoots developed from the apical regions of all explants. In this tissue shoots may also develop at the base of the hypocotyl, but this response is strongly dependent upon the length of the hypocotyl. As the length of the hypocotyl increased beyond 5 mm, there was a rapid reduction in basal shoot numbers and a concomitant increase in root production. We suggest that these responses are related not to the ratio or concentration of endogenous growth regulators but to different regions of sensitivity to growth regulators along the hypocotyl.

Leaf discs from 15 mutant clones of tomato were tested for their morphogenetic response in Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 12 combinations of the growth regulators napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and benzylaminopurine (BA) and 4 combinations of NAA and zeatin. The results show that either callus, shoots, roots, or shoots and roots can be produced depending upon the hormone concentrations and ratios. Plants were regenerated from 12 of the 15 varieties tested.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to establish the best concentrations of growth regulators for in vitro cultivation of jambu for a subsequent elaboration of an efficient micropropagation protocol. After sterilized, the seeds were inoculated on different media (MS, ½MS and water-agar) for in vitro germination. Nodal segments of in vitro germinated jambu seedlings were used as explants in the micropropagation with different concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) (0.0; 0.125; 0.25; 0.50 and 0.75 mg L-1) and callus induction with 2.4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2.4-D) (0.0; 0.25; 0.50; 0.75 and 1.0 mg L-1) on Murashige & Skoog’s (MS) medium. The highest germination rates were obtained on MS medium with better seedling development and greater height (3.7cm). In micropropagation, the best treatment was obtained on 0.125 BAP (T2), with an average of 2.2 sprouts/explant, average height of 2.4 cm and vigorous sprouts. In callus induction, all treatments with 2.4-D had developed friable calluses in 30 days and using doses of 0.25 and 0.50 mg L-1 provided greater fresh matter. The induction of friable callus and the root production occur without supplementation of exogenous growth regulator.

Scarification treatments (a control, a 10-minute vacuum, or a 1.5-minute ultrasound), different media (modified Norstog and Van Waes) and growth regulators [benzyladenine (BA) at 0, 1, 1.5, or 2 mg·L-1 and 6-(r,r-dimethylallylamino)-purine riboside (2iPR) at 0, 1, 1.5 or 2 mg·L-1] were used in combination to increase seed germination of Cypripedium calceolus var. parviflorum. Seeds treated with ultrasound had higher germination (58.0%) than those treated with vacuum (27.4%) or controls (19.2%). Germination rates increased with 2iPR level and reached a maximum between 1.5 and 2 mg·L-1. Seeds on Van Waes medium, which were not transferred to fresh medium after germination, had a severe browning problem causing many protocorms to die. Those on Norstog medium continued to grow into seedlings with less browning. Germination rates of Calopogon tuberosus × Calopogon `Adventure' and Liparis liliifolia were determined on the different media and growth regulator treatments. Multiple shoots of Calopogon developed from single seeds on media containing growth regulators. Flower buds formed in vitro on Calopogon in media containing 1 mg·L-1 or higher BA 5 months after germination. L. Iiliifolia seeds in Norstog medium had a higher proportion of germination than those in Van Waes medium.
