Embryos, small seedlings, and seeds of Arceuthobium pusillum Peck were cultured on White's medium supplemented with coconut milk and casein hydrolysate. The embryos increased in size up to five times their original length and often produced a holdfast at the tip of the radicle. Holdfasts with haustorial wedges were produced in cultures of small seedlings. In some of the seed cultures the radicles produced branches which showed many of the anatomical characteristics typical of young branches of the natural endophytic system inside the host bark. Occasionally a callus mass was formed at the base of the radicle and on the seed.

The effect of sucrose and mineral salts on morphogenesis of the Catherine?s moss (Atrichum undulatum) in in vitro culture was tested. In vitro culture of this species was established from disinfected spores on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. Apical shoots of gametophytes were used to investigate the influence of sucrose and mineral salts on protonemal and gametophyte growth and multiplication. Paper also treats morpho-anatomical characteristics of plants grown in nature and plants derived from in vitro culture.

Seeds of the eastern dwarf mistletoe, Arceuthobium pusillum Peck, were cultured on White's medium supplemented with coconut milk, casein hydrolysate, and indoleacetic acid (IAA) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Large holdfasts were obtained with 2,4-D. At first, growth of these holdfasts arose from a centrally located meristem, but later from growth centers near the periphery of the holdfasts. Reticulate thickening of the cell walls was observed in the center area of the holdfasts. With IAA, flat structures with branches or papillae were obtained. If the seeds were cultured with 2,4-D for 3 months and then with IAA, a number of holdfasts formed branches. Centers of meristematic activity developed occasionally where radicles and branches were subjected to pressure.

Young leaflets were used as the explants for in vitro regeneration of Albizia falcataria (L.) Fosberg without callus intervention. The leaf explants produced in vitro adventitious shoot buds directly on culturing with MS supplemented with BA, IBA (4.0/0.05 mg/l) and 10% coconut milk (v/v). Addition of casein hydrolysate and coconut milk increased the production of shoot buds. The buds produced shoots and roots and showed 66% survival in a field trial. This technique offers an effective way by which large number of genetically stable plants can be produced, maintained, multiplied and transported as disease free propagules or regenerants, safely and economically. Key words: Albizia falcataria, Leaf explant, Clonal propagation, Cytology D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v20i1.5966 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 20(1): 63-72, 2010 (June)

Two different strains of Melampsora lini (Pers.) Lév. were grown on media similar to those described by Turel (Can. J. Bot. 47: 821–823). Alterations in organic and inorganic constituents did not, in general, prevent growth. Peptone and yeast extract, singly or in combination, supported growth, but coconut milk did not. Maintenance of the ambient temperature below 17 °C during transfer procedures increased the number of colonies which grew. The mycelium was generally binucleate. Spore-like cells of varying shapes were found, some of which resembled uredospores and teliospores.
