Callus formation and organogenesis have been induced on the internode culture of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). Callusing was rapidly induced on the medium devised by Kartha, Gamborg, and Constabel for the shoot apical meristem culture of cassava. During culture, green protuberances appear on the callus followed by the differentiation of a leaf-like structure. The leaf-like structure degenerated after a month of differentiation. On the same medium, but lacking gibberellic acid (GA3), organogenesis is less frequent and precocious but the leaves which appear are typical of cassava; leaf differentiation is followed by shoot development.

<p>Shiny dome-like structures measuring less than 1mm in length were excised aseptically from shoot tip buds of infected of two cassava (<em>Manihot esculenta</em> Crantz) local cultivars (Boma and Mpelo Nlongi) and cultivated <em>in vitro</em> in two types of media with different combination of growth hormone: Murashige and Skoog supplemented of sucrose (20 g/l), Naphtalenacetic acid (NAA, 10 μM), Ben-zylaminopurine (BAP, 0.66 μM) as well as Gibberellic acid (GA3, 0.1 μM) with 80 mg/l of Adenine sulphate and MS-free growth regulators. After four weeks, data were scored: 29.5% responding explant with callus formation and 20.5% responding explants to shoot development in the medium with growth regulators for the cultivar Boma whereas the cultivar Mpelo-Nlongi presented 5.7% and 25.7% respectively of callus formation and shoot development. The cultivar Boma presented a tendency more pronounced for the callus formation rather than with the shoot development contrary to the cultivar Mpelo-Nlongi. In regards of this experiment, it was shown that the media composition and genotype are essential factors, which influence in vitro growth, mainly the shoot development, in the culture of meristems for cassava local accessions.</p>

This investigation was undertaken to establish an efficient protocol for virus-free plant regeneration in Coccinia grandis L. through shoot apical meristem culture. Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of 6-benzyl amino purine (BAP), gibberellic acid (GA3), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) was used for meristem establishment, shoot regeneration, and root induction as well as elongation. MS liquid medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l-1 BAP + 0.10 mg l-1 NAA was found to be the best medium for the primary establishment of meristems. MS medium containing 1.5 mg l-1 BAP + 0.5 mg l-1 GA3 + 0.5 mg l-1 NAA was found to be best for shoot regeneration percentage at 100.0 ± 0.0 and multiplication with 10.0 ± 0.8 shoots per meristem as well as shoot elongation (highest 9.0 ± 0.0 cm). In vitro grown shoots were subcultured and rooted with 11.0 ± 0.8 roots per shoot subsequently on MS medium containing 0.5 mg l-1 IBA. Well-rooted plantlets were gradually acclimatized and successfully established in the field condition with 100% survival rate.

Experiments have been performed to induce callus formation and organogenesis in anther culture of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). Callusing was achieved on a modified Murashige and Skoog medium (MSB) supplemented with 4.44 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 4.52 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2.4-D). No callus was formed from anthers pretreated at 4 °C for more than 48 h or on a medium containing 4g/ℓ activated charcoal. Callus on MSB with 4.44–8.88 μM BAP alone formed roots only. BAP (8.88 μM) in combination with α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (10.74 μM) resulted in chlorophyll formation in callus. Abscisic acid (ABA) acted as an antagonist to NAA in reducing the frequency of callus greening when the latter was applied jointly with BAP. Chromosome counts of mitotic figures from callus cells ranged from 34 to 38 indicating that the calli were derived from the somatic tissues of the anthers.

Aim. To investigate the regenerative ability of promising winter common wheat lines in shoot apical meristem culture. Methods. Plant tissue culture methods, statistical evaluation of data. Results. The processes of morphogenesis in culture of apical meristem of 3-days seedlings of lines of winter common wheat were investigated and it was established that the frequency of callusogenesis and shoot regeneration in the studied forms is determined by the genotype of explant. Two types of callus with morphophysiological properties were identified: morphogenic and nonmorphogenic callus. The formation of regenerated plants from wheat calli took place through both gemmorizogenesis and somatic embryogenesis. Conclusions. The line Erytrospermum 60068 was characterized the highest regeneration potential and it can be recommended for further biotechnology of wheat. Obtained technology of vigorous regenerated plant production of winter common wheat lines in shoot apical meristem culture can be used in cell selection and genetic engineering experiments. Keywords: winter common wheat, apical meristem, genotype, callus, shoot regeneration.

Context: Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) is very important vegetable crop. It is damaged by several types of diseases, especially viral diseases which reduce the total yield of pumpkin. This is very difficult problem and such type of problem can be overcome by meristem culture. Objectives: To develop suitable protocols for indirect regeneration of pumpkin plant through shoot apical meristem.   Materials and Methods: Meristems were isolated from 15-21 days in vivo grown plants by collecting shoot tips and were prepared (0.2-0.5 mm) under 4X zoom stereo-microscope remaining two leaves primordia. Inoculation of explants was made singly per culture vessel in semisolid MS fortified with different concentrations and combinations of cytokinin and auxin.   Results: Among different concentrations, 1.0 mg/l BAP showed best response for callus induction. Calli were sub cultured for shoot formation in MS containing BAP singly or combination with GA3 and 1.5 mg/l BAP + 0.1 mg/l GA3 gave better result. In vitro regenerated shoots were rooted well in ½ strength MS with 0.5 mg/l IBA and micro plants were acclimatized successfully in natural condition.   Conclusion: Indirect regeneration of pumpkin plants through shoot apical meristem has been established.   Keywords: Growth regulators; in vitro regeneration; Pumpkin; Cucurbita maxima.

<em>Selaginella</em> species are characterized by regular anisotomous dichotomous divisions of the shoot apical meristem, giving rise to two new axes (branches) which differ in size. A vital process is the formation of vascular connections, which enables continuous communication and consequent functional and developmental integration of a plant during branching. Here, we present the sequence of developmental changes in the vascular system of <em>Selaginella kraussiana</em> related to dichotomous branching. Stem vasculature in <em>Selaginella kraussiana</em> consists of two meristeles which change in arrangement during shoot development. Using dye tracers, we documented developmental functional isolation of meristeles associated with the specific structure of the stelar system, which results in a spatiotemporal sectoriality of the shoot. We discuss sectoriality in terms of possible significance for shoot development.
