Croton scabiosus Bedd. (Euphorbiaceae), an endemic tree species of Southern Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh, India, categorised as ‘Vulnerable’ is attempted for in vitro propagation. Seed pathological problems, poor germination, recurrent fires and tree fellings in the native habitat are the major threats of the species. With an objective to standardise a suitable multiplication protocol to augment the species population in the natural habitat, the present study focus on multiplication of the species through micropropagation. Of the various growth regulators employed in the experimentation, maximum mean number of shoots i.e. 5.37±0.12 was found on MS medium fortified with 0.5mg/l BAP and 2.5mg/l IAA. Maximum mean length of shoots 5.27±0.14 was found on 0.5mg/l BAP+1mg/l IAA. In vitro rooting was found on half strength MS medium fortified with 2.5mg/l IBA (8.92±0.19 mean number of roots with 5.04±0.05 mean length of roots with 90% response). Only 10% of survival rate was observed and the species warrants effective on site conservation methods.

This study was aimed to In vitro propagation of Spilanthes acmella L. Murr. It is a medicinal plant not cultivated in Iraq. Seeds were sterilized and cultured on MS medium. Indole acetic acid IAA, Benzyladenin BA growth regulators’ were used at the initiation stage. The combination between IAA and BA was used in multiplication stage. Indole butyric acid IBA was used for rooting the shoots. Results showed that 1.5% sodium hypochlorite for 15 min was very effective for disinfecting and survival. A node exhibited relatively highest response as compared with apical meristems and leaflets culture. Supplying the culture medium with 1mg/l. BA was effective for lateral shoot induction. The mean number of shoots obtained from nodes were 7.43 with a mean length 0.9 cm. Adding BA at 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5 and IAA at 0.1 mg/l. to the growth medium was effective for multiplication. Mean number of the developed shoots were 12.00, 10, 84, 10.00 respectively. Adding 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 mg/l IBA to the half strength MS medium was very effective in root formation which produced 45.0, 42.5, 40.0 roots respectively with mean length of 3.25, 3.80, 3.80 cm respectively. Results of acclimatization stage showed that addition of 1:1 Patmos and loamy soil gave the highest rate of survival 100% after 4 weeks of acclimatization. This study showed the ability of in vitro propagation of Spilanthes acmella (L.) Murr

Abstract The aim of this study is to develop and improve methods of in vitro propagation of representatives of Dactylorhiza: D.baltica , D. fuchsii. For the study, we used protocorms obtained by the asymbiotic germination of seed during 90 days. It has been established that half-strength of Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium (½ MS) supplemented with 1-2 mg/l 6-Benzylaminopurine(6-BAP), potato puree (20g/l), and charcoal (1g/l) effectively influenced the development of protocorms, and seedlings formation in the studied species. The result of the study showed that the survival rate of protocorms was high in all experimental culture media, but in D. fuchsii it was better at a concentration 2mg/l of 6-BAP (95.4%), while in D. baltica it was high at 1mg/l (87.0%). The highest percentage of multiple protocorms (68%) and the formation of new secondary protocorms in D. fuchsii (5,5±0,3 units) were observed on a culture medium containing 2 mg/l 6-BAP. The highest percent of rooting of D. fuchsii protosoms (78%) and length of roots (0.9cm) observed in ½ MS medium without growth regulators. During the development of D. baltica protosoms, the culture medium of ½ MS containing 1 mg/l 6-BAP had the best effect on the number of roots (1.8±0.1root/protosom), while the medium supplemented with 2mg/l of 6-BAP contributed to the formation of a larger number of new secondary protocorms (3,2±0,1protocorm/unit). During the subsequent cultivation of protosoms of D. baltica on a culture medium containing 1 mg/l it was observed an increase in the height of shoots (4,8±0,3 см), and the length of roots (2,2±0,1 см), wherein the number of newly formed protocorms was higher by 30% on the medium supplemented with 2 mg/l 6-BAP.

An in vitro technique for plant regeneration using meristem-derived plantlets of banana cv. BARI-l (Musa sp.) has been developed. Highest number of shoot regeneration was noticed on basal media supplemented with 7.5 mgL-1 BAP + 0.5 mgL-1 NAA at 30 days after inoculation (DAI). The mean number of shoots significantly reduced when the concentrations of BAP and NAA in the medium was high. Regenerated shoots were rooted on half strength MS medium containing 0.5 mgL-1 IAA + 0.5 mgL-1 IBA at 30 DAI. In vitro raised plantlets were transferred to poly bags containing ground soil and cowdung mixture (1:1) for acclimatization and hardening in room temperature (28-30°C) and the established plantlets are ready for planting in the field.

Vegetative propagation of Sprekelia (Sprekelia formosissima Herbert.) in natural conditions is limited because it produces only one bulb per year or none. The objective of this research was to generate an in vitro propagation protocol for this species to increase its commercial propagation rate without extracting the species from its natural habitat. Bulbs of 4 to 5 cm in diameter were used as disinfested donor explant material; 1 cm2 explants were obtained from the cataphyll leaves with and without a portion of basal disc; these explants were established in MS medium supplemented with 8.87 μM of N6 benzyl adenine (BA) and 0.98 μM of indole-3- butyric acid (IBA). For shoot multiplication, bulblets obtained from the previous phase were used as explants and cultivated in MS medium with 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 μM of BA combined with IBA at a 10:1 ratio (BA: IBA). Shoots obtained from multiplication were established in MS medium supplemented with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 % (w/v) sucrose to promote growth. Bulblets were rooted in MS medium supplemented with 0, 0.49, 0.98, 1.96, 3.93 and 7.8 μM of IBA. Once roots formed, they were transferred to soil to assess their acclimation. We obtained 89.1 % of aseptic explants, of which 86 % formed two shoots on the average. Multiplication of shoots increased as BA concentration increased in culture medium, and the best results (75 % of bulblets with shoots, 2.66 shoots per bulblet and 2.0 mm diameter shoots) were obtained with 20 μM BA. The best bulb growth in diameter (4.2 mm) and number of bulblet leaves (3.5) was obtained with 5 % sucrose. The use of 0.98 μM IBA resulted in greater rooting percentage (93.7) and number of roots per bulblet (2.0), which were 2.4 cm long on average. Up to 83 % of the bulblets survived acclimation. This protocol to micropropagate Sprekelia formosissima allowed the production of at least 96 bulblets from one mother bulb in a six months period of in vitro culture.

The present study was conducted to improve upon the micropropagation protocol of Rose cultivars by modification of the MS medium through variations in sucrose and agar concentrations thereby enhancing the shoot multiplication and rooting efficiency of the nodal explants. High sucrose concentrations and low agar concentrations favoured shoot mutiplication during the in vitro stages. Enhanced multiplcation and growth was observed on sub culturing the mother explants with regenerated shoots on fresh MS medium containing sucrose (3.5%, w/v) and agar (0.6%, w/v), supplemented with lower concentrations cytokinin combination of BAP and KN (2.5 mgl-1+1.5 mgl-1) respectively. Half strength MS medium containing sucrose (2.0%, w/v) and agar (0.3%, w/v) with NAA and BAP (2.0 mgl-1+0.5 mgl-1) in combination was most effective for rooting.

During past decades, great attention has been paid to propagation of endangered plant taxa in order to preserve biodiversity. The aim of this study was to optimize a protocol for in vitro propagation of the critically endangered and decorative species Dianthus serotinus Waldst. et Kit. The effects of different concentration of MS salt (Murashige and Skoog) of the culture, medium pH and different carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose, and fructose) on shoot multiplication were examined. The best results were obtained on half-strength MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium, whose pH was 5.8, with sucrose supplied at a concentration of 3%, when shoots with 1-2 nodes or shoot tips (with terminal buds only) were used as explants. The shoots were rooted (76.7%) on half-strength MS medium containing 0.5 mg∙L-1 NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid). The obtained plantlets were successfully acclimatized (89%) in a 4:1 mixture of peat and sand and they flowered the following year. Presented protocol enables successful in vitro propagation of D. serotinus.

In this elaboration, effective methods of in vitro propagation of a Paulownia tomentosa × Paulownia fortunei hybrid are presented, and the variable costs of commercial production evaluated. Plant regeneration of the P. tomentosa × P. fortunei hybrid was achieved through organogenesis in nodal explants. Different concentrations of BAP (6-benzylaminopurine), 0.2, 0.5, 1 mg/L, and light conditions were investigated. The best results were obtained using a half-strength MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L BAP. In standard light conditions, 2 shoots were grown with 3.5 culturable nodes on each, and in 70% reduced light, 2 new shoots were grown with 6 culturable nodes on each. Rooting was successfully achieved when using a hormone-free half-strength MS medium containing vitamin, and 2% sucrose with 95% efficiency. Acclimatization and survival were shown to be 90% in regenerated plants. The cost of production of a single plant of P. tomentosa × P.fortunei hybrid grown in standard light conditions was $0.084 and $0.082 when grown in 70% reduced light where only variable costs were considered. Two major factors affecting P. tomentosa × P fortunei hybrid micropropagation is labor, materials and chemicals. Focusing on reducing this cost can highly lower plantlet price.
