Effects of different concentrations of IAA (0, 0.3, 0.6 mg/l) and 2ip (0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 mg/l) and their combinations on callus induction and shoot regeneration of hypocotyl and its thin cell layer (TCL) explants in tomato was studied. Explants were prepared from hypocotyls of seedlings in the aseptic condition. Hypocotyl segments were more efficient than TCL explants for callus induction a...

An efficient in vitro method for multiple shoot bud induction and regeneration has been developed in Artemisia annua L. using leaf and stem explants in various concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators to evaluate the frequency of regeneration. The sources of explants as well as plant growth regulators in the medium were found to influence the multiple shoot induction. The resu...

A novel micropropagation method for pineapple (Ananas comosus L.), based on shoot elongation induced in vitro, was demonstrated for two cultivars. Decapitated in vitro plantlets were used as explants. Shoot etiolation was induced by placing explants in a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing NAA (10 μM) and incubating in darkness at 28C for 30 to 40 days. The mean number of the regenerated...

A Russian knapweed (Acroptilon repens) shoot culture system, initiated from shoot tip culture, was used to generate a source of host plant tissue for the rearing of the nematode Subanguina picridis, a biocontrol agent for Russian knapweed. Young shoots growing on solid B5G medium in petri dishes developed galls on leaves, petioles, and shoot tips 7 days after release of 50 nematodes onto the su...

Shoot multiplication of Bupleurum distichophyllum was achieved from the nodal and shoot tip explants of mature plants using MS with different concentrations and combinations of growth regulators. Maximum explant response was from axillary shoots and the highest number of shoots per explant was obtained on MS fortified with 1.0 mg/l BAP. The highest degree of axillary shoot proliferation was fou...

in order to study, in vitro bud induction and shoot regeneration of different explants (shoot tip, axillary bud, hypocotyl and cotyledon) of henbane on ms medium enriched with various concentrations of kinetin (0, 1, 3 and 5 mg.l-1) alone or in combination with indole-3 acetic acid (0, 0.1 and 0.5 mg.l-1) this research was investigated in urom zist tak knowledge-based company plant tissue cultu...

Hypericum perforatum L. (St. Johns’ wort) is the most commercially important species of the genus Hypericum and contains a wide range of components including naphthodianthrones, phloroglucinols, tannins, xanthones, phenolic acids and essential oil. In order to establish an efficient protocol for regeneration, the effects of explant type and plant growth regulators on direct and indirect shoot r...

Efficient procedures are outlined for plant regeneration through direct shoot bud formation and indirect organogenesis through callus formation in Ornithogalum virens Lindl using bulb scale as explant. Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium containing 1 mg/L (5.4mM) NAA and 2 mg/L (4.4mM) BA was most effective in direct induction of shoot buds from explant. Callus cultures were raised from the bulb ...

Nowadays, many researches were conducted in minimizing tissue culture technology due to the overhead of cost needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using five kinds of organic additives at four level concentrations responsive to the number of shoots produced for eight weeks in culture. Stem segment explants of Celosia sp. were cultured on MS medium that have been su...

Amongst a large number of Populus species, micropropagation of P. deltoides has not been possible. The authors now report a reproducible protocol for mass production of cloned plants of 2 important clones of P. deltoides, viz., G3 and G48 through induced shoot bud differentiation in the in vitro cultured segments of leaf, stem and root of adult tree origin. Establishment of experimental plants ...
