Efficient culture protocol for plant regeneration from cotyledonary petiole explants of Jatropha curcas L.

Direct Plant Regeneration from Cotyledonary Explants of Blackgram (vigna Mungo L.) Hepper

The present study was undertaken to investigate the possibility for developing Efficient Plant regeneration protocol in Vigno mungo L. For this, the effect of Cytokinens on in vitro regeneration from Cotyledonary explants was studied in Black gram (Vigno mungo L.) Hepper Var Vamban-1. The cytokinins used were 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), Thidiazuron (TDZ), and kinetin (Kn). The regenerated shoots...

Plant Regeneration from Cotyledonary Explants of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn and Histological Study of Organogenesis in Vitro

The present work aimed at regenerating plants of Eucalyptus camaldulensis from the cotyledonary explants and describing the anatomy of the tissues during callogenesis and organogenesis processes, in order to determine the origin of the buds. The cotyledonary leaves of E. camaldulensis were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS), WPM and JADS media supplemented with 2.7 μM NAA and 4.44 μM BAP. The...

Tissue Culture Studies For Development of Regeneration Protocol for Jatropha

However, its commercial success as a biofuel plant is still elusive. Major bottlenecks for the same are significant variations in seed yield and oil content, low seed viability and germination rate. For vegetative propagation to be successful, it would require availability of quality planting material throughout the year. However, this is limited by unavailability of quality planting material a...

Physic nut, Jatropha curcas L

Jatropha curcas L.: Substitute for Conventional Energy

Jatropha curcas L. or physic nut belonging to family Euphorbiaceae is an all purpose, zero waste perennial plant. It is considered as a potential source of non-edible fuel producing plant along with its different medicinal properties and grows well in the tropical and subtropical climate in India. The seed contains 40-50 % viscous oil known as ‘curcas oil’. Petroleum based fuel are limited rese...
