An efficient protocol for plant regeneration has been developed for crop improvement programs. The present study was designed to assess the regeneration response of cotyledonary node explant taken from the germinating seeds of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). Complete plants were regenerated from in vitro cultured sectioned cotyledonary nodes. Multiple shoots arose on 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) sup...

The population of many splendid orchids is reducing from their natural habitats at an alarming rate and their conservation is becoming a matter of global concern. Asymbiotic seed germination has been applied for ex situ conservation of rare, endangered and threatened orchid taxa and could provide rapid means their multiplication. In the present study reported here, seeds of an epiphytic and rar...

Leaf explants of kaladium dwubarwne Caladium bicolor (Aiton) Vent., were cultured in vitro on MS media supplemented with 25 different concentrations of BAP and NAA in order to determine the appropriate concentrations for micropropagation. All combinations induced callus formation on explants. Callus production on leaves explants grown on control medium was very low. The medium enriched with 4 m...

The multiple shoots (14.2) from Oxalis corniculata differentiated through bud breaking on MS medium with 2.0 mg/l BAP. regenerated were further sub-cultured containing 1.0 BAP and 0.5 NAA. Vegetative to reproductive phase transition occurred in the cultures affected by plant growth regulators (PGRs), sucrose concentrations, strength of salts light. Flower buds initiated half Kn + NAA 3% sucrose...

Seedling abnormalities are a common problem in micropropagation and require investigation. This study aimed to assess the growth characteristics morphoanatomy of stem apices nodal segments basil (Ocimum basilicum) ‘Dark Opal’ inoculated medium containing combinations 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Presence calluses, adventitious roots, abnormal seedlings was quantified ...
