Plant regeneration from petiole segments of some species in tissue culture

Tissue culture and regeneration of an antimalarial plant, Artemisia sieberi Besser

WHO recommends artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) as the most effective choice to treat malaria. For developing transgenic plants with high accumulation of artemisinin (by introducing genes encoding enzymes which regulate the biosynthetic pathway of artemisinin), an efficient protocol for tissue culture and plant regeneration is necessary. In the present study, leaf explants of ...

Tissue Culture Regeneration of a Medicinal Plant from Mexico: Piper auritum Kunth

An effi cient whole plant regeneration method from callus cultures of Piper auritum was achieved through organogenesis derived from leaf tissue. Proliferating callus and shoot cultures derived from leaf tissue explants placed on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.0 mg·L 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) plus 1.5 mg·L kinetin. Optimum combination of hormones (mg·L) for sho...

REGENERATION OF NEOFORMANT ORGANS FROM ORGAN-PARTS OF SOME CROCUS SPECIES

Explants of leaves, petals, anthers, styles and ovaries of C. speciosus, C. cancellatus, C. gilanicus and C. almehensis were cultured on LS media with three different combinations of NAA and BAP in the dark. Callus and neoformant organs (leaf and corm-like structure and ordinary and contractileroots) were fomd on some of these explants. Corm explants from these species were also cultured on...

Elicitors in Plant Tissue Culture

Plants or plant cells in vitro, show physiological and morphological response to microbial, physical or chemical factors which are known as ‘elicitors’. Elicitation is a process of induced or enhanced synthesis of secondary metabolites by the plants to ensure their survival persistence and competitiveness. The application of elicitors, which is currently the focus of research, has been consider...
