SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS AND REGENERATION OF PLANTLET IN SAFFRON, CROCUS SATIVUS L.
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
Somatic embryogenesis was initiated in C. sativus L. from shoot meristems on LS medium containing BAP (2×10-5 M)+NAA (2×10-5 M). Various stages of somatic embryogenesis were observed in the same medium and the development was asynchronous. Somatic embryo development proceeded through well recognized sequences (globular to embryoids) with clearly discernible bipolar regions. Matured embryos could be germinated on half-strength MS medium containing GA3 (25 mg/l). Complete plantlets with well developed root system and corm formation were obtained on transferring germinated embryos to half strength MS medium supplemented with BAP (5×10-6 M)+NAA (5×10-6 M).

A simple and efficient protocol for recurrent somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration is one of the prerequisites for genetic improvement of guava. An efficient reproducible regeneration somatic embryogenesis protocol was developed in four genotypes of Psidium guajava L. using immature zygotic embryo as starter explant. Somatic embryogenesis induction was obtained on MS basal medium supple...

The ontogenic developmental stages of saffron somatic embryogenesis have been studied and characterized using light and electron microscopy. The embryogenic callus underwent internal segmented divisions with the formation of globular embryos that were attached to the callus surface by a broad multicelular structure. Further development of the embryoids was characterized by the emergence of a sh...

From ancient times, saffron dried stigmas of Crocus sativus L. is widely used as a drug against different human diseases. In the beginning of 1990 ́s scientific literature reported for the first time the antitumor activity of saffron. During the last decade different laboratories of the world (including ours) have accumulated sufficient scientific evidence to suggest that saffron, and its main i...
