The Impact

Lamprocapnos spectabilis (L.) Fukuhara (bleeding heart) is valued both in the horticultural and pharmaceutical markets. Despite its great popularity, information on the in vitro tissue culture technology in this species is limited. There is also little knowledge on the application of plant extracts in the tissue culture systems of plants other than orchids. The aim of this study is to compare the utility of traditional plant growth regulators (PGRs) and natural extracts—obtained from the coconut shreds, as well as oat, rice, and sesame seeds—in the micropropagation and cryopreservation of L. spectabilis ‘Gold Heart’ and ‘White Gold’. The biochemical analysis of extracts composition is also included. In the first experiment related to micropropagation via axillary buds activation, the single-node explants were cultured for a 10-week-long propagation cycle in the modified Murashige and Skoog medium fortified either with 1.11 µM benzyladenine (BA) and 1.23 µM indole-3-butritic acid (IBA) or with 10% (v/v) plant extracts. A PGRs- and extract-free control was also considered. In the cryopreservation experiment, the same 10% (v/v) extracts were added into the medium during a seven-day preculture in the encapsulation-vitrification cryopreservation protocol. It was found that the impact of natural additives was cultivar- and trait-specific. In the first experiment, the addition of coconut extract favoured the proliferation of shoots and propagation ratio in bleeding heart ‘Gold Heart’. Rice extract, on the other hand, promoted callus formation in ‘White Gold’ cultivar and was more effective in increasing the propagation ratio in this cultivar than the conventional plant growth regulators (4.1 and 2.6, respectively). Sesame extract suppressed the development of the explants in both cultivars analysed, probably due to the high content of polyphenols. As for the second experiment, the addition of plant extracts into the preculture medium did not increase the survival level of the cryopreserved shoot tips (sesame and oat extracts even decreased this parameter). On the other hand, coconut extract, abundant in simple sugars and endogenous cytokinins, stimulated a more intensive proliferation and growth of shoots after rewarming of samples. Analysing the synergistic effect of conventional plant growth regulators and natural extracts should be considered in future studies related to L. spectabilis.

Amygdalus Communis

The Almond (Amygdalus communis) is one of the most important and oldest commercial nut crops, belonging to the Rosaceae family. Almond has been used as base material in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, hygienically and food industry. Propagation by tissue culture technique is the most important one in woody plants. In the current research, in vitro optimization of tissue culture and mass production of almond was investigated. In this idea, explants of actively growing shoots were collected and sterilized, then transferred to MS medium with different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators. The experiment was done in completely randomized blocks design, with 7 treatment and 30 replications. After 4 weeks, calli induction, proliferation, shoot length and number of shoot per explants were measured. Results showed that the best medium for shoot initiation and proliferation was MS + 0.5 mg/l IAA (Indol-3-Acetic Acid) + 1 mg/l BA (Benzyl Adenine). Autumn was the best season for collecting explants. The shoots were transferred to root induction medium with different concentrations of plant growth regulators. The best root induction medium was MS + 0.5 mg/l IBA (Indol Butyric Acid).

The experiment was carried out on ten-year-old Amarapali mango (Mangifera indica L) in randomized block design with seventeen treatments with three replications at BAU, Ranchi to study the effect of foliar application of nitrogen and plant growth regulators on bearing and physico-chemical constituent and self life of mango. Among the different treatments, application of 200ppm ethephon had most favourable effect in causing earliness in panicle emergence days (16.0 days), initiation of first flower (12.3 days) and days to initiation of fruit set (10.3 days) over control. Whereas application of 2000ppm triadimefon in combination with 2% urea increased intensity of flowering shoot to the extent of88.5% in fruit plant. The maximum number of fruit set per panicle (44.7), fruit retention (12.1%) and number of harvested fruit per tree (194.4) were observed with combined use of 100ppm SA and 2% urea as compared to control. The highest TSS (25.1 0Brix) and reducing sugar (3.0%) content were registered under 100ppm GA3, while the highest phenol (2.84mg/100g) was recorded from the fruits of the plants sprayed with 200ppm ethephon in combination with 2% urea. However, minimum (11.1%) physiological loss in weight (PLW) was recorded in 100ppm SA along with 2% urea.

Container Production

Cutting-propagated ‘Alice’ oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia Bartr.) often produces a few vigorous branches with apical dominance, thus suppressing growth of other branches. As a result, the maturing canopy is sparse and develops asymmetrically, rendering plants unappealing to customers. For this reason, growers prune or apply plant growth regulators (PGRs) to encourage more branching, thereby producing a more desirable product. Propagation through tissue culture may provide another option to increase branching as an outcome of habituation. Habituation occurs when plant cultures continue to respond to a hormone that is no longer being supplied and, in turn, frequently leads to more branching. We evaluated oakleaf hydrangea growth as affected by propagation technique [tissue-cultured (TC) and cutting-propagated (CUT)] and PGR (cyclanilide and benzyladenine) application during container production. Nontreated TC plants had more branches longer than 15.2 cm (6 in) compared to nontreated CUT plants in 2008, although not in 2010. In both years, single applications of cyclanilide did not affect total branch number but two applications increased total branch number compared to nontreated plants, averaged over propagation technique. Plants treated with benzyladenine had similar or fewer total branches compared with nontreated, hand-pruned, and cyclanilide-treated plants (one or two treatments). Propagation technique did not consistently influence response to PGRs.
