An efficient protocol was achieved for rapid propagation of Wedelia chinensis (Osbeck) Merr. through axillary bud proliferation and ex vitro rooting. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with benzyladenine (BA; 8.87 microM) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA; 2.46 microM) was optimal for axillary bud proliferation, which developed a mean of 8.3 shoots/node. Excision and culture of node segm...

Three basal plant tissue culture media, namely, N6, MS, and modified Y3, were compared to optimize micropropagation protocol for E. guineensis. Full strength media were used separately to regenerate plantlets directly using immature zygotic embryos (IZEs), and through somatic embryogenesis of calli obtained from IZEs. The plantlets regenerated by direct regeneration on three media were examined...

background and objectives: bitter melon is one of the anti-cancer medicinal plants that it’s wide level in vitro propagation and anti-cancer material production was necessary. different factors such as genotype, selected explants’ type and it`s preparation conditions influenced regeneration content. plant growth regulator`s effect on callogenesis and indirect regeneration from parangipetai indi...

Using cotyledons of 2-week old in vitro germinated seedlings, a rapid and efficient regeneration protocol was established for A. mangium on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium. Cotyledons showed better direct shoot organogenesis producing maximum 10.88 ± 0.35 shoots per explant when cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 μM BA and 1.0 μM NAA. Full strength of MS medium supplemented with ...

The present study was conducted to induce callus from different in vitro grown seedling explants of shoot, root and leaf segments in order to develop shoot buds and rooting from callus. The sterilized seeds were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium, and then the explants were cultured from seedling and transferred to an MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of BAP, kinetin, NAA...

An efficient plant regeneration method was established for Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb. by culturingimmature epicotyl explants. Morphogenic calli were initiated from 96% of epicotyl explants on MS mediumsupplemented with BA (6-benzylaminopurine) 4.0 mg/l and NAA (Naphthalene acetic acid) 1.0 mg/l. The calliformed were excised and subcultured on MS medium fortified with 1 mg/l...

An efficient protocol was established for rapid in vitro propagation of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, using explants from mature plants. The effect of 1/2MS, MS and B5 culture media, also 27 different combinations of auxins and cytokinins was studied on in vitro growth and development of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. The best culture medium for shoot and root formation was 1/2MS, producing 1.30 shoot...

Buds from the branches cut during dormancy (end of January) were used as the initial explants and set to develop under laboratory conditions at room temperature. Aseptic culture was established on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with BA 2.0, IBA 0.5 and GA3 0.1 mg 1-1. MS media with BA and IBA or NAA and GA3 were used for multiplication phase, whereas medium MS with mineral salts reduced to 1/2...

The family Araucariaceae encompasses several evergreen forest tree species, which has a high ornamental value due to being a good specimen and having symmetrical branches. Conventional propagation of Araucaria excelsa R. Br. var. glauca by cutting has limited success because of topophysis and difficult-to-root characteristics, and grafting is accompanying incompatibility. The aim of this resear...
