An efficient protocol of common bean transformation using Agrobacterium tumefaciens is still unavailable. Several regeneration reports are available using cotyledonary node or embryonic axis as the starting explants. These explants were used for direct organogenesis exploiting the meristems for direct shoot production. Attempts were made to transform cotyledonary node explants and embryonic axe...

The present investigation was carried out to study the In vitro shoot multiplication and callogenesis in Gladiolus. For this purpose, cormel, meristem and leaf explants were chosen. Different concentrations of BAP i. e., 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 or 2.5 mgL (2.22, 4.44, 6.66, 8.88 or 11.10 μM) were supplemented to MS medium. Both cormel and meristem explants showed maximum multiplication on MS medium ...

A simple and efficient protocol for in vitro shoot and callus induction was established from three different explants of Canavalia gladiata (Jacq.) DC. an economically important legume. The explants viz., shoot buds, nodes, internodes were cultured in MS medium supplemented with various concentration and combination of (PGRs) Plant growth regulators 6-benzyl amino purine (BAP) (0.5mg/L – 1.5mg/...

In vitro clonal propagation of Ashoka, Saraca asoca (Roxb.) De Wilde plant was achieved using shoot tip, nodal and internodal explants. The explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations (0.5-2.0mg/l) of Benzyl amino purine (BAP), Kinetin (Kn) and 2, 4-Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D). The synergetic effect of BAP (0.5mg/ l) induced a mean of 11.71±0.53 advent...

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...

An efficient and reproducible procedure was established for direct shoot regeneration of Solanum surattense Bum. using internodal explants. The shoot regeneration efficiency on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6benzylaminopurine (BAP) was superior in compared to 6furfurylaminopurine (Kn). The highest mean number of shoots per explant was recorded on MS medium containing 0.5 mgl...

An in vitro method was developed for high frequency shoot regeneration and continuous production of Brassica napus L. in large number. The different concentrations of benzyladenine (1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mgl and thidiazuron (0, 0.15 and 0.30 mgl) were evaluated for shoot and root regeneration using hypocotyl explants with 7, 14 and 21 days old. Shoot regeneration (SR) was affected by both benzyladen...

The present study demonstrates the potential of nutrient-alginate encapsulation of shoot tips of sunflower, Helianthus annuus (hyb. Azargol) for synthetic seed technology, which could be useful in germplasm distribution and exchange. Shoot tips from in vitro shoot cultures derived from mature seed explants were encapsulated in 3% sodium alginate and 100 mM CaCl2. 2H...

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...
