Micropropagation of adultLavandula dentataplants
1998
SummaryA protocol for in vitro propagation of adult Lavandula dentata plants has been achieved. Cultures were established by placing nodal segments on Murashige and Skoog medium containing BA, KIN, and NAA. Highest shoot multiplication rates were obtained when explants grown in the presence of 5.0 μM BA or 20 (JLM KIN were transferred to medium with 8.8 μM BA and 15% coconut milk. Multiplication efficiency through subcultures was significantly affected by the cytokinin concentration in the initial culture medium. Subculture reduced drastically the final number of shoots produced on nodal segments isolated from shoots grown in the presence of 2.0 μM BA or 40.0 μM KIN. Shoots were easily root…
Effect of growth regulators onin vitro propagation ofFicus benjamina cv. Exotica
1994
Stem internodes with axillary buds were excised from 5-year old trees ofFicus benjamina cv. Exotica. The effect of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), gibberellic acid (GA3), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) on shoot growth and proliferationin vitro was investigated. Multiple shoots were developed after 3–4 weeks from stem internodes with axillary buds incubated in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with phloroglucinol (PG) and BAP. Optimum shoot proliferation took place in the presence of 1.0 mg l−1 BAP. Shoots obtained could be elongated in a medium with 0.5 mg l−1 GA3 prior to their rooting. The root initiation was succ…
In vitro propagation ofSalix tarraconensis Pau ex Font Quer, an endemic and threatened plant
1996
Salix tarraconensis Pau ex Font Quer, an endemic willow species from northeast Spain, was micropropagated with nodal segments. Shoot multiplication was obtained with different cytokinins, either on Murashige and Skoog medium or woody plant medium. Best results for shoot formation were obtained on Murashige and Skoog medium containing 4.9 μM of 6-γ-γ-dimethylallylaminopurine. Shoots showed strong apical dominance, and some cultures displayed apical necrosis. Benzyladenine gave the worst results; shoots displayed very slow growth, deformed leaves, and hyperhydrity. Good rooting of shoots was obtained with different auxins or without plant growth regulators on woody plant medium. The best resu…
Factors influencing axillary shoot proliferation and adventitious budding in cedar.
2005
We developed procedures for in vitro cloning of Cedrus atlantica Manetti and C. libani A. Rich explants from juvenile and mature plants. Explant size was one determinant of the frequency of axillary bud break in both species. Shoot tips and nodal explants mainly developed calli, whereas bud sprouting occurred in defoliated microcuttings cultured on a modified Murashige and Skoog medium without growth regulators. Isolation and continuous subculture of sprouted buds on the same medium allowed cloning of microcuttings from C. atlantica and C. libani seedlings and bicentennial C. libani trees, thus providing a desirable alternative for multiplying mature trees that have demonstrated superior ch…
In vitro plant regeneration of caper (Capparis spinosa L.) from floral explants and genetic stability of regenerants
2011
A new technique to regenerate caper plants (Capparis spinosa L. subsp. rupestris) starting from flower explant is reported. In vitro plant regeneration was attempted using stigma, anthers and unfertilized ovules of unopened flowers collected in the field. Plant regeneration was achieved from unfertilized ovules on MS medium supplemented with 88 mM sucrose and 13 lM 6-benzyladenine (BA). New individuals obtained from unfertilized ovules were used as source material for micropropagation and multiple shoots were obtained on MS medium sup- plemented with the adeninic cytokinin BA and the auxin indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Explants obtained in micro- propagation step were used for rooting step u…
Effect of plant growth regulators and basal media onin vitro shoot proliferation and rooting ofMyrtus communis L.
1996
The influence of macronutrients and growth regulators on in vitro shoot proliferation and rooting of an East Spanish population ofMyrtus communis L. were studied. Preincubation of field material on a medium without mineral salts prevented the browning from phenolic exudates. For multiplication, nodal segments of 5 mm fromin vitro produced shoots were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS), Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) and Heller (H) media (full strength or diluted to 1/2 or 1/4), with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) at concentrations 4.4, 13.3 and 22.2 ΜM or kinetin (K) at concentrations 4.7, 14.0 and 23.2 ΜM. The optimum shoot proliferation was on quarter-strength MS medium with 4.4 ΜM BAP, whereas…
Spermidine and morphogenesis in single cell cultures of Sideritis angustifolia lag.
1990
Abstract Single cells from hypocotyl-derived callus of Sideritis angustifolia were evaluated for morphogenesis when cultured in either solidifier or liquid Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with various concentrations of spermidine, naphthaeneacetic acid (NAA), benzyladenine (BA) and dicyclohexylamine (DCHA). Spermidine (Spd) did not replace the hormonal requirements for cell division and callus formation, but affected growth induced by NAA or BA. This polyamine increased the plating efficiency of cells cultured in the presence of NAA (0.05, 0.54 and 5.40 μM) or BA (0.40, 4.40 and 8.80 μM). In contrast, Spd reduced growth induced by 10.80 μM NAA, optimal auxin concentration for callus…
New Acylated Presenegenin Saponins from Two Species ofMuraltia
2004
Six new acylated bisdesmosidic triterpene glycosides 1–6 were isolated from the roots of Muraltia heisteria (L.) DC., as three inseparable mixtures 1/2, 3/4, and 5/6 of the (E)- and (Z)-3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamoyl derivatives. The compound pair 1/2 along with four known saponins were also isolated from the roots of Muraltia satureioides DC. Their structures were elucidated mainly by spectroscopic experiments including 2D-NMR techniques as 3-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)presenegenin 28-{O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(13)-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(14)]-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-O-[6-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(13)]-4-O-[(E)-3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamoyl]-β-D-fucopyranosyl} ester (1) and its (Z)-isomer 2, 3-O-(β-D-g…
Morphogenic potential of mechanically isolated single cells from Digitalis obscura L. callus
1989
Calli from hypocotyl and root explants of Digitalis obscura L. showed regeneration of adventitious shoots, roots and embryos when transferred to Murashige & Skoog medium supplemented with cytokinins alone or in combination with auxins. Optimum shoot-bud formation was achieved in the presence of IAA and BA, while roots mainly appeared either in absence of growth regulators or with IAA and Kn. Embryo formation took place only in those combinations that included Kn. Embryo development was influenced by the type of auxin, and precocious germination occurred in media with NAA. Mechanically isolated cells from hypocotyl- and root-derived calli were plated in MS medium supplemented with several IA…
Plant regeneration from cultured leaves of Lavandula latifolia Medicus: Influence of growth regulators and illumination conditions
1989
Leaves were obtained from 4-week-old seedlings of Lavandula latifolia Medicus grown in vitro. Leaf explants were then cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of the auxins IAA or NAA with the cytokinin BA and maintained under three illumination conditions, 16h photoperiod, darkness or darkness followed by a photoperiod, to assess morphogenic responses. Irrespective of illumination conditions, bud regeneration was achieved only in media containing BA or BA/auxin combinations, with the best results being obtained in the presence of BA and 0.06 or 0.6 μM IAA or NAA. A photoperiod of 16h appeared to yield the best response in terms of bud regeneration p…
