Regeneration, a remarkable example of developmental plasticity displayed by both plants and animals, involves successive developmental events driven in response to environmental cues. Despite decades of study on the ability of the plant tissues to regenerate a complete fertile shoot system after inductive cues, the mechanisms by which cells acquire pluripotency and subsequently regenerate compl...

In vitro multiple shoot regeneration of Solanum nigrum L., an Indian medicinal plant was accomplished on MS medium utilizing shoot tip and nodal explants. Direct multiple shoots differentiated within 6 weeks when explants were cultured on MS medium containing BAP (1.0-5.0 mg/l) and KIN (1.0-5.0 mg/l) individually. Among various concentrations of cytokinins tested, maximum number of multiple sho...

the first successful and an efficient regeneration system on in vitro direct plant regeneration of agastache foeniculum was reported. the experiment were done in factorial design with three replications and explants were cultured in ms media fortified with different concentrations of bap and tdz (0, 2.2, 4.4, 8.8 μm) in combination with 3 levels of iaa (0, 1.1 and 2.2 μm). anova analysis showed...

Functional screening of an Arabidopsis cDNA library enabled the identification of a novel cDNA, ESR1 (for Enhancer of Shoot Regeneration), that can confer cytokinin-independent shoot formation when overexpressed in Arabidopsis root explants. Neither callus induction nor root formation was affected by ESR1 overexpression. ESR1 encodes a putative transcription factor with an AP2/EREBP domain. Sur...

lemon balm (melissa officinalis l.) is an herbaceous perennial plant of the lamiaceae family that has a wide edible and medicinal uses. in this research the potential of five different explants (nodal segments, shoot tip, cotyledon, hypocotyl and leaf segments) on ms mediums supplemented with different concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (bap) (2.2, 4.4 and 8.8 µm) alone or in combination wit...

Development of a reproducible, versatile and efficient in vitro plant regeneration system is highly warranted for Indian soybean varieties for their mass multiplication in view of their commercial significance. Accordingly a protocol for direct shoot organogenesis in soybean variety JS 335 has been developed. Using cotyledonary node explants significant organogenic responses, mean shoot number ...
