Abstract:

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) as a member of the Apiaceae family is one of the most important medicinal plants in Iran. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of plant growth regulators and explant type on callus induction in cumin. For this purpose the cumin seeds (Kuhbanan accession) were disinfected with sodium hypochlorite and alcohol and cultured on MS basal medium. Leaf and hypocotyl explants were prepared from sterile seedlings and used to produce callus on MS medium containing 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/l NAA with 0.0 and 0.5 mg/l BAP. The experimental was as completely randomized factorial design with three replications. The results of callus induction showed that the explants type, hormone, and their interactions have non-significant effects on the callus induction percentage. Also, explants showed significant effect on callus growth rate (CGR). However hormones and hormone- explant interactions did not have a significant effect on CGR. The results showed that the medium containing 1 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l BAP was known as the best callus growth rate medium for cumin (0.238 mm/d). Comparing the mean interactions of the explants in hormone on CGR showed that 0.5 mg/l of NAA + 0.5 mg/l of BA in leaf explant has the highest effect (0.248 mm/d).

Effects of explant type and growth regulators on callus induction in four ecotypes of Persian shallot

Allium hirtifolium commonly known as Persian shallot is an important wild medicinal plant distributed from North West to central and South West of Iran. To establish an efficient protocol for callus induction, the effects of explant type and growth regulators on callus induction in four ecotypes of Persian shallot were evaluated. Two explants types included basal plates and young leave...

The influence of plant growth regulators on callus induction in pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) hairy roots.

Following in vitro infection with Agrobacterium rhizogenes wild strain (mannopine, 8196) and two A. tumefaciens transconjugant strains (C58C1 pArA4abc and C58C1 pArA4b) transformed (hairy) roots were induced in pumpkin (C. pepo L.) cotyledons. The presence of pRi T-DNA in pumpkin long-term hairy root cultures was determined by Southern hybridization. The influence of plant growth regulators on ...
