Callus cultures were induced from radicle and leaf tissues of Bouvardia ternifolia (trompetilla). Optimum growth regulator concentrations for radicle callus cultures were 1 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.005 mg/L kinetin; for leaf callus they were either 2 mg/L naphthaleneacetic acid and 0.002 mg/L benzylaminopurine or 5 mg/L of idoleacetic acid and 0.01 mg/L kinetin. Callus has been maintained in culture for nearly 3 years with a very rapid growth rate.A generation time of approximately 24 to 28 h was obtained for batch cell suspension cultures. Production of protoplasts from suspension cultures was optimized with a yield of 70 to 90%. Protoplast culture was achieved in droplets of fresh medium with 2 mg/L napthaleneacetic acid, 0.01 mg/L benzylaminopurine, and0.5 M mannitol. After 2 years, callus in culture still retained its organogenetic capacity. An average of 18 complete plantlets from approximately 2 g of callus can be obtained after transfer to medium with 0.1 mg/L indoleacetic acid and 0.1 mg/L benzylaminopurine.

Lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait.) pericarp callus grew slowly and formed normal tetraploid roots on Nitsch's medium containing L-tryptophan and kinetin. Both growth and rooting depended on the levels of these two substances in the medium. Rooting declined but callus growth rates changed little over successive subcultures. When tryptophan was replaced by indoleacetic acid, indolebutyric acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, or naphthaleneacetic acid, callus growth rates increased but no roots formed. Tryptophan medium did not support callus growth or induce rooting unless the tryptophan was autoclaved with the rest of the medium; thus suggesting that an active substance is produced by reaction of the tryptophan with some other constitutent(s) of the medium during heating.

Cell suspension cultures of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) were initiated from embryogenic callus cultures and maintained in medium supplemented with either 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Higher yields of protoplasts were obtained from cells grown in 2,4-D than in NAA. The efficiency of cell division was also greater in protoplast cultures derived from cells grown in the presence of 2,4-D. Protoplast-derived cells formed somatic embryos in modified Kao or Nagata and Takebe media which were supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D. Early stages of embryogenesis were observed in liquid medium; however, these embryos and associated cell colonies were transferred onto agar-solidified medium for subsequent regeneration. Mature plants were established in soil in the greenhouse.

The callus-promoting activity of most commonly known as well as some rarely tested auxins was compared with that of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) for in vitro culture of the excised embryo of spring and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), cv. Chinese Spring and cv. Fredrick. Different auxins in a concentration range from 1 to 50 μM showed widely different activities. Also the two wheat cultivars responded differently to the auxins. When rapid callus formation with limited root growth was used as the basis for comparison, 2-(2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid (2-MCPP), α-naphthaleneacetic acid, 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid (dicamba), 4-amino-3,5,6,trichloropicolinic acid (picloram), γ-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)butyric acid, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxypropionic acid, in the order of effectiveness, were superior to 2,4,-D for callus induction from the embryo of 'Chinese Spring,' although the concentration required was higher than that of 2,4-D. For the winter wheat 'Fredrick,' however, only picloram, dicamba, and 2-MCPP performed as well as 2,4-D. All auxins tested promoted shoot growth; 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxypropionic acid was most effective for 'Chinese Spring,' whereas picloram was most effective for 'Fredrick.'

Background: Belonging to the Boraginacae family, Ehretia asperula Zoll. et Mor., called “Xa den”, is a precious medicinal plant also known as the “cancer tree” by the Muong ethnic group in Hoa Binh Province, Vietnam. Xa den has been demonstrated to inhibit the development of malignant tumors, reduce oxidation and enhance the human immune system. This research focused on examining friable callus induction from young stems of Ehretia asperula Zoll. et Mor. Methods: Samples of Xa den were less than two years old. Young stems with 2 to 6 leaves served as explants for callus induction. Explants placed on autoclaved B5 nutrients incubated at 25oC, in the dark. The testing factors were concentrations of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and Benzyl adenine (BA), types and concentrations of sugars.Result: Friable callus was induced on B5 medium with 0.4 mg/L of 2,4-D, 0.1 mg/L of BA and 30 g/L of glucose at the highest rate (100%). Additionally, callus grew best after 5 weeks of culture weighing 0.194 g. Friable callus was used as material for cell suspension cultures. After two weeks, the Xa den cell suspension cultures contained single cells and small cell clumps. The liquid medium had changed from dark yellow to light brown.

A growing demand for the ecologically pure products brings us for searching novel biotechnological approaches for plant cultivation. One of these approaches is the in vitro cultivation and further acclimatization of valuable plant species. The object of our investigation was Ajugareptance L. ornamental plant which possesses high metabolic activity. In vitro cultivation was carried out applying Murashige-Skoog nutrient medium and its modifications. Acclimatization of in vitro plants was implemented according Hazarika. In the presence of twice higher concentration of cytokinins over auxins and 0.2 mg/ml gibberellins callus culture was formed from the leaf explants. Callus tissue was formed in the presence of 0.2 mg/ml kinetin and 2 mg/ml indole-3-acetic acid which has denser structure than the first one. The shoot formation was observed on callus cultures growing on the same medium approximately after 5th passage. Callus culture growth was supported also by the adding of 2 mg/ml 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. For the micropropagation, the already formed shoots were transferred to the nutrient medium which contains only 0.1 mg/ml 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid as a phytohormone. A. reptans culture has high regenerative ability and the micro-propagation index was 104 – 105. In vitro regenerated plants were successfully acclimatized to the soil conditions during two-week period.

Protoplasts isolated from Lilium callus which was maintained on media containing 2% sucrose contained large deposits of starch granules and lysed during isolation and washing procedures. Stable protoplast preparations could be obtained from callus which had been subcultured on sucrose-free medium for 3 weeks. Maximum protoplast yield (1.5 × 106 per gram fresh weight) was obtained when KCl (0.3 M) was the osmotic stabilizer. Inclusion of CaCl2 (25 mM) and MgSO4 (25 mM) in the isolation and wash media decreased protoplast lysis. Viability of protoplasts isolated in the high salts medium was determined by their ability to accumulate sodium fluorescein in the cytoplasm. No cell-wall formation occurred when salts were used as the osmoticum in various culture media. Continuous light (5000 lx) was inhibitory to protoplast survival. When protoplasts were transferred, via a series of wash solutions, to culture media using sugars as the osmoticum and cultured in darkness, cell-wall formation was detected after 3 days and cell divisions after 21 days. Zeatin (10−6 M), was needed for cell-wall formation. Cell division was stimulated by a combination of zeatin (10−6 M), naphthaleneacetic acid (10−5 M), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (10−7 M) in the basic nutrient medium.

An in vitro protocol for Callerya speciosa (Champ.) Schot regeneration through embryogenesis was developed using the anthers as the explants. The late uninucleate stage of the microspore was optimal for the anther culture of C. speciosa. Embryonic callus was induced on a MS basal medium supplemented with 4.4 µM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 9.04 µM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Embryos were obtained on MS medium supplemented with 2.2 µM BA and 0.5 µM naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The highest percentage (16.7%) of embryos was achieved using the culture medium MS + 0.25 µM NAA + 1.1 µM BA. The highest percentage of embryos that developed into plants was 18.3%. However, haploid plants were not observed, which may have been due to the collection of the calli from the anther wall. The results presented here demonstrate the establishment of a highly efficient and rapid system for regenerating C. speciosa using anther cultures.
