To explore the potential for in vitro rapid regeneration of Fagonia indica Burm., cotyledon explants were obtained from 10-day old aseptically germinated seedlings that cultured on MS medium which supplemented with 1.0-5.0 µM 2,4-D. Callus was initiated from cotyledon explant on MS medium supplemented in all concentrations of 2,4-D investigated. 2,4-D was more effective than IAA and NAA for cal...

Objective: n present study effect of various factors including sucrose, agar, PEG, AgNO3, activated charcoal on somatic embryo induction and its subsequent regeneration was investigated using varieties Dom siah and Nemat. Methods: 330 explant (Mature embryos) of each varieties were cultured, 33/plate (100 x 15 mm), on callus induction Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (Murashige and Sk...

In Cichorium hybrid clone '474' (C. intybus L., var. sativum x C. endivia L., var. latifolia), the direct somatic embryogenesis process in leaf tissues is accompanied by an overall increase in the amount of proteins secreted into the culture medium. Amongst these, three major protein bands of 38 kDa, 32 kDa and 25 kDa were found in the conditioned media. These extracellular protein bands accumu...

An efficient protocol was developed for the induction of callus, somatic embryogenesis and regeneration response of two sugarcane varieties: HSF-243 and HSF-245, in this study. Callus was induced on young leaf explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog’s medium supplemented with different concentration of 2, 4-D singly or in combination with BAP. The highest percentage of callus induction was obs...

In present report effects of explants type, basal media and plant growth regulators (PGRs) were tested for induction of indirect somatic embryogenesis in medicinally important plant Silybum marianum L. Leaf, petiole and root explants were exploited in vitro on B5 (Gamborg), SH (Schenk and Hildebrandt) and MS (Murashige and Skoog) media for induction of embryogenic callus followed by somatic emb...

in the present study, 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-d) was assessed individually for its effectiveness to induce somatic embryogenesis in tea (camellia sinenesis l.). embryonic axes and cotyledons explants were dissected from the seeds. explants were cultured on murashige and skoog (ms) medium containing 0, 1 and 5 mm 2, 4-d alone for embryonic axes and 0, 1 and 5 mm 2, 4-d along with 0...

Frequency of somaclonal variation in embryogenic calli and plants of Olea europaea L cv.Kroneiki derived from somatic embryogenesis were examined by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Radicle and cotyledon (proximal part) of mature zygotic embryo were cultured in OMc medium supplemented with IBA (5 mgL-1) and 2-ip (0.5 mgL-1). Somatic embryogenesis was induced in calli of radic...

Objective: n present study effect of various factors including sucrose, agar, PEG, AgNO3, activated charcoal on somatic embryo induction and its subsequent regeneration was investigated using varieties Dom siah and Nemat. Methods: 330 explant (Mature embryos) of each varieties were cultured, 33/plate (100 x 15 mm), on callus induction Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (Murashige and Sk...

Somatic embryos and plants were produced from mature and immature embryo derived callus of wheat. Immature embryo showed a better capacity for somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration. Presence of 2, 4-D was shown to be essential for induction and maintenance of somatic embryogenesis. Organic nitrogenous additives (L-proline, L-asparagine and casein hydrolysate) marked an effect on somatic ...
