The developmental sequence of callus initiation and somatic embryogenesis in leaf explants of <em>Cucumis sativus</em> cv. Borszczagowski was analysed and compared on media containing two different auxin phenoxy-derivatives (2,4-D and 2,4,5-T) and cytokinin (BAP or 2iP). During the first 20 days of culture on media with 2,4,5-T proliferation of parenchymatic tissue occurred mainly and only small meristematic centers were observed. There was an intensive detachment of parenchymatic cells and dissociation of their cell walls near vessels and in the lower part of the explant adjacent to the medium. These cells were strongly plasmolysed. On the 2,4-D containing medium mostly meristematic tissue developed, proliferating around vascular bundles and forming meristematic centers or promeristem-like structures. After 35-50 days of culture, secondary callus was formed by separation of meristematic cells from the meristem surface in explants cultured on the 2,4-D containing medium. On medium supplemented with 2, 4, 5-T the detachment of parenchymatic and meristematic cells occurred, along with formation of a gel-like substance. The gel-like callus contained multi-cellular aggregates, proembryoids and embryoids. This type of callus tissue was initiated more intensively on medium with 2, 4, 5-T, but the frequency of somatic embryogenesis was much lower. The periferial cells of aggregates, proembryoids and embryoids showed the tendency to separate from the surface of the tissue. Many embryoids formed adventitious embryos.

<div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>Since coconut is   one of the most recalcitrant species to generate <em>in vitro</em>, it is   necessary to study in detail about the cellular changes that occur during   somatic embryogenesis to enhance our knowledge about this phenomenon. In the   present study, coconut plumular tissues, the shoot meristem including leaf   primordia, were used as explants for <em>in vitro </em>regeneration studies.   Histological studies were carried out in different stages of plumule culture.   No noticeable growth was observed in 15 days old cultures. After 30 days,   meristematic cells could be identified. Abundance of meristematic cells,   foremost to the development of callus structures, was observed after 45 days.   After 75 days, globular friable calli were formed and histological studies   revealed the presence of meristematic centers which eventually formed somatic   embryos. The histological study of matured somatic embryos formed after 120   days of callus initiation showed a clear meristematic zone of parenchyma   cells, surrounded by vascular bundles. Histological studies, carried out for   certain abnormalities like compact calli, abnormal somatic embryoids with   rudimentary shoots and multiplied roots, revealed the presence of intact   cotyledonary leaves which seemed to inhibit the apical meristem development   of somatic embryoids. The presence of vascular bundles in the early stages of   callus formation might lead to the direct formation of meristemoids. These   results could aid future studies leading to enhanced control of the somatic   embryogenic process and greater efficiency of somatic embryo and plantlet   formation in coconut.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>

The culture of cucumber plants <em>Cucumis sativus</em> L. Wisconsin cultivar, from seeds and leaf explants, were carried out on the basic medium ofMurashige and Skoog <em>in vitro</em> conditions. In the culture set from the leaf explants the MS medium was supplemented with IAA (0,5 mg/dm<sup>3</sup>) and BAP (2 mg/dm<sup>3</sup>). Aluminium (as AlCl<sub>3</sub>) was added to the media in concentration Of 1 mg/dm<sup>3</sup>. The media pH was adjusted to 6,2 or 4,2. In seedling culture, aluminium substantially stimulated the growth and development of the root system while a shoot to a small degree only (it advanced leaf formation mainly), causing no morphological and developmental anomalies. In the culture from the leaf explants Al induced the process of rhizogenesis which did not take place on the media without Al. It also stimulated a shoot morphogenesis. After 8 weeks of culture, 32 % leafexplants formed plants with short shoots (2-3,5 cm), long ones (5,5-7 cm) and with long but poorly branched root system„ In the acid conditions (pH 4,2), the effect 0 Al on plant growth was Iower than on the media with pH 6,2. Also a number of regenerated explants with comparable direction of differentiation won a fewer in low pH.

Abstract. Hapsoro D, Hamiranti R, Yusnita Y. 2020. In vitro somatic embryogenesis of superior clones of robusta coffee from Lampung, Indonesia: Effect of genotypes and callus induction media. Biodiversitas 21: 3811-3817. This study aimed to investigate the effects of genotypes and primary callus induction media on somatic embryogenesis of superior robusta coffee clones of Lampung. Leaf explants of clones Tugusari, Komari, Tugino, and Wanto were cultured on two types of primary callus induction media (PCIM). PCIM1 consisted of half-strength MS salts, 30 gL-1 sucrose, added with (mgL-1) 0.1 thiamine-HCl, 0.5 nicotinic acids, 0.5 pyridoxine-HCl, 100 Myo-inositol, 200 ascorbic acids, 150 citric acids, and 1 benzyl adenine. PCIM2 consisted of NPCM salts, 30 gL-1 sucrose, added with (mgL-1) 15 thiamine-HCl, 1 nicotinic acid, 1 pyridoxine-HCl, 2 glycines, 130 Myo-inositol, 200 ascorbic acids, 150 citric acids, 1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and 2 thidiazuron. The highest percentage (100%) of primary callus formation was found in Komari and Wanto clones. PCIM2 resulted in more primary calli than PCIM1. When subcultured to embryogenic callus induction medium, primary calli of clone Komari and Wanto developed into a high percentage of embryogenic calli, while those of the other two turned brown and died. PCIM2-derived primary calli developed into more embryogenic calli. When subcultured on somatic embryo (SE) regeneration medium, these calli underwent the formation of SE of various stages. When subcultured to plant regeneration medium, these SEs developed into plantlets.

Murashige And Skoog Medium

Explants of cucumber seedlings having different lengths of hypocotyl attached were grown axenically on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with kinetin (2 mg L-1). Multiple shoots developed from the apical regions of all explants. In this tissue shoots may also develop at the base of the hypocotyl, but this response is strongly dependent upon the length of the hypocotyl. As the length of the hypocotyl increased beyond 5 mm, there was a rapid reduction in basal shoot numbers and a concomitant increase in root production. We suggest that these responses are related not to the ratio or concentration of endogenous growth regulators but to different regions of sensitivity to growth regulators along the hypocotyl.
