Leaf explants of mulberry (Mortis alba L.) derived from aseptically grown shoots and seedlings were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium. Normal and abnormal leaves were grown by varying the concentration of benzyladenine. They differed in the way of forming adventitious buds. In normal leaves bud initiation occurred exclusively at the cut ends of midribs after removing petioles, while in abnormal ones buds formed at any region on midribs and petioles. Histological observations were made to study different patterns of bud initiation.

Flower-buds of 10 freesia cvs were grown in vitro and were induced to regenerate adventitious buds on a modified Murashige and Skoog's medium containing PBA and IAA. The formation of adventitious buds was strongly enhanced by growing the explants first in darkness and subsequently in light. Subcultured shoots, grown on a medium with IAA, could be rooted easily and viable plants were obtained. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)

The proliferation of parenchymatous foliar tissue of Quercus ilex was obtained from current year leaves taken from old trees and cultivated in vitro on modified Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with benzylaminopurine (4 mg ∙ L−1) and naphthyl acetic acid (0.5 mg ∙ L−1). Only the fragments cultured in October reacted. The neoformations only appeared on calluses that had not been subcultured for 7 months. Primary nodules arising on these calluses were removed and subcultured on the same medium either in the dark or in the light. In the dark only, they produced secondary nodules, which were the source of somatic embryos both in light and dark. Presently, they seem to regulate their structure in the dark but they do not develop in a way that leads to germination.

Clerodendrum thomsoniae commonly known as bleeding heart vine or bag flower which is a good candidate for a new crop for the floriculture industry. In this study, in-vitro callus regeneration of C. thomsoniae through nodal culture has been attempted. Murashige and Skoog’s medium supplemented with 2 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l

Indeterminate axillary buds excised from young offshoots of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) developed into flowering or vegetative buds when cultured under different in vitro conditions. Floral induction was observed in explants cultured in the dark on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 50 g∙L−1 of sucrose and several auxins and cytokinins in a ratio favouring the auxins. In contrast, vegetative buds were obtained from explants cultured under a 16-h photoperiod on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 30 g∙L−1 of sucrose and 1 mg∙L−1 of indolebutyric acid. The results showed that numerous vegetative meristems can be produced from indeterminate buds cultured in vitro. The results also confirmed the observations made during an in vivo study of flowering and vegetative bud development. The importance of the nutritional contribution of the leaves surrounding the flowering buds was pointed out. Key words: Phoenix dactylifera, axillary buds, indeterminate buds, in vitro culture, floral state, vegetative state, morphogenesis.

A rapid and efficient protocol was developed for inducing indirect organogenesis using leaf explants of Vitex negundo L. Explants were cultured on MS with different concentrations of 2,4-D and IAA in combination with BAP for callus induction. The frequency of callus induction increased with increasing concentration of IAA (0.3 mg/l) and BAP (0.3 mg/l) at optimal level. The shoot buds appeared emerging as green coloured protuberances on the callus. The high frequency of shoot bud initiation and shoot proliferation was observed on MS containing 0.3 mg/l IAA and 0.3 mg/l BAP. The regenerated shoots were successfully rooted on MS supplemented with 0.5 mg/l IBA. Rooted plants were transferred to pots containing sand, soil and manure in the ratio of 1 : 1 : 1. Nearly 90% survival of in vitro plants were recorded. Key words : Vitex negundo, In vitro, Leaf, Callus, Regeneration D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v18i1.3263 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 18(1): 37-42, 2008 (June)

Extracts obtained from leaves of Aloe barbadensis and A. congolensis, growing in Congo, were analyzed for their in vitro antiradical and anti-yeast activity. Different leaf tissues (tegument and gel) were analyzed separately. Their phenolic fractions showed the presence of chromones and anthrones (aloesin, aloin B, aloin A, and isoaloeresin), flavonoids (apigenin and kaempferol derivatives), and hydroxycinnamic acids. A differential quantitative composition was observed between leaf tegument and gel: in the first, higher concentrations of the four classes of compounds were observed. The extracts from the tegument exhibited higher in vitro antiradical and antimycotic activity than gel extracts. In a few cases, extracts from teguments were active against amphotericin B-insensitive yeasts. Due to the lack of radical scavenging and yeast inhibition observed when aloin was used, it was possible to postulate that the in vitro activities of the teguments could be related to their high concentration of flavonoids and hydroxycinnamic acids.

Abstract An effective plant regeneration system was developed for chokecherry (Prunus virginiana L.) by using in vitro leaf tissues. Adventitious shoots regenerated from in vitro leaf tissues only when cultured on Woody Plant Medium (WPM), but not on Murashige and Skoog medium, supplemented with benzyladenine (BA) or thidiazuron (TDZ). Three chokecherry clones (NN, 10, and 17) responded differently to types and concentrations of cytokinins, ranging from 16.7 to 91.7% leaf explants regenerating shoots. A mean of four shoots was produced from each explant, with the most shoots (> 10) from clone NN on media with 5–10 μM BA. Higher concentrations of TDZ (> 8 μM) caused serious vitrification and eventual death of newly induced shoots. Regenerated shoots (> 1.5 cm) produced roots in vitro in half strength MS medium or ex vitro in Cellular Rooting Sponge (CRS) rooting plugs with or without auxin (NAA or IBA) treatments. Rooting was affected by auxin, genotypes, and the rooting methods.
