This study investigated the potential of Launea taraxacifolia for in vitro regeneration. Stem and leaf explants were inoculated on full strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with varying concentrations of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Leaf explants responded to all concentrations of 2,4-D used while stem explants responded to only two of the 2, 4-D concentrations suggesting that leaf explants might be a better source of explants. Leaf explants generated shoots on medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l kinetin and 0.1 mg/l 2, 4-D. This study is the first report on in vitro regeneration of Launea taraxacifolia.

In the present study the protocol for callus induction and regeneration in Azima tetracantha has been developed in culture medium. The young apical leaf explants were used for callus induction on MS medium containing BAP and NAA at 1.0 and 0.4mgl-1 respectively showed maximum callus induction (73%). The amount of callus responded for shoot formation (74%) was obtained in the MS medium containing BAP (1.5 mgl-1) and NAA (0.3mgl-1).The elongated shoots were rooted on half strength medium supplemented with IBA (1.5 mgl-1) and Kn (0.4 mgl-1) for shoots rooted. Regenerated plantlets were successfully acclimatized and hardened off inside the culture and then transferred to green house with better survival rate.

The experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of growth regulators on leaf explant of Gerbera for callus induction. Various kinds of plant growth regulators such as 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP), α-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D), Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were used to initiate cultures. These were added to Murashige and Skoog medium in different combinations and concentrations. Leaf explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with BAP+ 2, 4-D+ IAA in T4 treatment & BAP+ 2,4-D in T5 treatment showed the best results for callus induction. On the other hand callus was induced early in the combination of BA+ 2,4-D + IAA hormone in T5, T9 & T8 treatment respectively. The rate of callus induction was very low in BA + NAA combinations but it was much earlier.

An efficient in vitro regeneration system was developed for Rauvolfia serpentina L. through direct and indirect organogenesis from nodal and leaf explants. Among the different growth regulators, MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP, 0.5mg/l IAA and 0.02mg/l NAA found best for the multiple shoot formation from nodal segments. In this combination 98% explants produced multiple shoots and the average number of shoots per explants is 13∙4. The frequency of callus induction and multiple shoot induction from leaves was highest 88% in MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP, where mean number of shoots/explants was 12.5. The highest frequency of root induction (80%) and mean number of roots/plantlets (10) were obtained on half strength of MS medium containing 0.2 mg/l IBA. The rooted plantlets were transferred for hardening following acclimatization and finally were successfully established in the field.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.53(2), 133-138, 2018

The objective of this work was to study the histological events related to the regeneration process of a medicinal plant, Nymphoides cristatum (Roxb). Leaf explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mgl-1 of 6-benzyl amino purine (BAP). About 90% of explants gave rise to shoots after 15 days of incubation. The histological studies showed that the regeneration originated directly from parenchymatous cells and direct organogenesis after 20 days of culture could be observed. Buds and roots were found completely differentiated after 40 days of culture and number of shoots per explants was 30. Micorshoots were rooted in hormone - free medium and the plants obtained grew in artificial pond under green house conditions.

Tobacco has been widely used as a model plant for stable and non-stable gene function analysis. Successful Agrobacterium-mediated transformation mainly depends on in vitro regeneration of tobacco plant. However, a reliable and standard regeneration protocol of tobacco using multiple explants is limited. In this study, we established a reliable and reproducible regeneration protocol of tobacco using three different explants i.e. cotyledon, hypocotyl and leaf. Preliminary, surface sterilized tobacco seeds were germinated on growth regulator free MS medium. Thereafter, in vitro germinated explants were inoculated into Murashige and Skoog [1] media supplemented with different combination and types of growth regulators for callus induction and subsequent regeneration of plantlets. It was revealed that, regeneration ability of explants is greatly influenced by type and nature of the explant. Among the three explants, higher callus induction (95%) was obtained in MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg l-1 kinetin + 2.0 mg l-1 IAA from leaf explant. Also, leaf explant exhibited much higher regeneration ability (95%) than hypocotyl (60%) and cotyledon (45%) explants. Significantly highest number of shoots (8.0) were regenerated from leaf explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg l-1 Kinetin+1.0 mg l-1 IAA compared to the other hormone combinations. Regenerated mature shoots were showed normal root after transferred onto ½ MS medium containing 0.3 mg l-1 IBA. This study will provide valuable information related to in vitro regeneration of tobacco plantlets using cotyledon, hypocotyl and leaf explants and will be used as a standard protocol for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation for gene function analysis.

Lack of suitable methods to develop adventitious plantlets in vitro is a limiting factor in producing transgenic sweetpotato plants through gene transfer. Studies were conducted to develop an in vitro high frequency regeneration protocol for sweetpotato that is rapid and consistent. When 27 genotypes of sweetpotato were screened, five were identified as highly regenerative (318846-3, PI 531143, Hi Dry, Rojoblanco and Beauregard). High frequency regeneration of shoots (in 60 to 80% explants) was observed within 30 days when leaf explants with intact petioles from the apical portions of the in vitro shoots were cultured on a MS medium with 2,4-D (0.2 mg/l) for three days and then transferred to a medium with zeatin riboside (ZR) (0.2 mg/l). However, thidiazuron (0.2 mg/l) had to be substituted for ZR to achieve regeneration of shoots from petiole (0.5 to 1 cm) explants (the most responsive organ for transformation by Agrobacterium). Petiole explants developed shoots efficiently (80-90%) and rapidly (10 to 21 d), but were specific to the genotype 318846-3. The resulting plantlets were vigorous and normal, and were transferred to the green house with little or no mortality.

Pachyrhizus erosus tuber is rich in protein asides its agronomical value as a legume, but the seeds by which it is propagated have very low viability. This study established sterilization protocol and effect of various concentrations of auxins and cytokinins on callus production and shoot regeneration from explants of P. erosus. Explants and seeds were sterilized using sodiumhypochlorite (NaClO) solution (5, 10 and 15% v/v) for 5 and 10 mins. Nodal, stem and leaf explants from in vitro germinated P. erosus and tuber from field grown plant were sterilized and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (control) and MS combined with different concentrations of auxins (NAA and 2, 4-D) and cytokinin (BA and Kinetin) and the cultured explants were monitored in terms of degree of callus formation, morphology and colour of callus and also for shoot induction. The results showed that seeds of P. erosus sterilized with 10% NaClO solution for 10 mins and germinated in vitro is the best way of getting sterile nodal, stem and leaf explants for the in vitro propagation of the plant, while tuber explants could be sterilized with 15% NaClO for 10 minutes. Nodal explants inoculated in MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BA gave the highest shoot regeneration response, while stem explants inoculated on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L NAA also gave the highest amount of friable callus. The study concluded that in vitro germinated seeds were the best way of getting explant for P. erosus.

The experiment was conducted on in vitro regeneration of tomato at the Plant Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Horticulture, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Patuakhali. The objective was to develop an efficient regeneration protocol in tomato through callus induction for subsequent plantlet regeneration. Seeds were inoculated on MS medium where germination rate was 78.4%. The stems of in vitrocultured seedlings were used as explants. Different concentrations and combinations of growth regulators were added to MS medium to observe their efficacy on callus induction, shoot initiation and root formation. Stem explants cultured on MS medium fortified with 2 mg/L BAPgave the highest number of shoots (3.0) at 45 DAC. Among the concentrations of PGRs, 0.25 mg/L IAA produced the highest length (4.064 cm) of plantlets, number (5.0) of leaves and fresh weight (0.663 g) of plantlets with the stem explants at 45 DAC. The concentration of 0.5 mg/L IAA produced the highest number (21.00) of roots/plantlet, length (7.676 cm) of roots at 45 DAC, from the same explants. The highest survival rate of in vitro regenerated plantlets in the pot was 70.00 % with the stem explants. The results of the current study showed significant increase in the growth of callus of Solanumlycopersicon Mill. Indicating a good efficiency of the optimized media composition and the experimental model used in comparison to other studies of similar nature.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res.

AbstractThis plant tissue study of micropropagation identifies the selective medium saving for rapid propagation in cultivated Thermopsis turcica, an endangered germplasm of the family Fabaceae. The aim is to obtain the optimum growth medium of T. turcica by enabling the in vitro propagation of this endemic. In this study, the leaves and stems of T. turcica were cultured on a Murashige and Skoog’s medium supplemented with various concentrations (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg L−1 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid) of auxin and (0.2 and 0.5 mg L−1 Zeatin) (1.0 and 2.0 mg L−1 Benzylaminopurine) of cytokinins. Previous research focused on the regeneration from the seed of T. turcica Eber population; we concentrated upon the regeneration of different plant parts (leaf and stem) of T. turcica Aksehir population. In addition, according to the literature on T. turcica that to date the effects of Zeatin on the regeneration has not been performed. The most promising regeneration and growth were obtained from leaf explants cultured on the media with 2.0 mg L−1 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid and 0.5 mg L−1Zeatin (93.3%). The regenerated plantles were rooted on the media containing 2.0 mg L−1 Indole-3-butyric acid. Rooted plantlets were transplanted into potting of sterilized soil. The present study reports on the sufficient in vitro regeneration protocol through organogenesis in T. turcica. The findings presented here have implications for in vitro protection and use of this endemic endangered species in further biotechnological research.

In vitro method for rapid propagation of Daucus carota L. was developed. Root, stem, leaf and nodal explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentration and combinations of hormones. Multiple shoot were induced from the nodal explant of D. carota by culturing them in MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Differentiation of shoot initiated after one week of culture, and after eight weeks of primary culture, an average of six plantlets were developed from a single shoot. The nodal explant also induced same number of multiple shoot in MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/l of BAP and 1 mg/l of α-nephthalene acetic acid (NAA). The shoots when sub-cultured in the medium supplemented with 1 mg/l NAA produced roots after five weeks of sub-culture. Root and leaf explants induced roots and callus when cultured on MS medium with NAA at the rate of 1 mg/l and 2 mg/ l. Similarly, stem explants also induced roots and callus in the same concentration of hormones whereas few multiple shoot were induced when cultured on MS supplemented with 2 mg/l of BAP and 1 mg/l of NAA. This result suggests that this methodology can be applied for the rapid and mass propagation of this species. Key words: In vitro; Propagation; MS medium; Explant; Culture.
