Organogenèse induite in vitro sur des fragments de racine de Nicotiana tabacum L.
Explants taken from superficial epidermic and subepidermic tissues from flowering stocks of Nicotiana tabacum can be induced to flower, produce buds, callus, or roots from a single type of cell, of subepidermic origin. Explants from neoformed roots, when cultivated on media inducing the formation of flowers (IAA 10−6 M, kinetin 10−6 M), buds (IAA 10−6 M, BA 10−5 M), callus (2,4-D 5∙10−6 M, kinetin 10−7 M), and roots (IBA 10−5 M, kinetin 10−7 M) can form buds or callus. New roots are formed when either IAA or kinetin is omitted from the flowering medium. None of the above media induced the formation of flowers from root explants.Temperatures of 22 or 24 °C and the addition of 10−6 M BA were optimal for the de novo formation of buds from root explants.
