A protocol was developed for plant regeneration of Melia azedarach L. by in vitro culture of apical meristem (0.5 mm in length). The influence of six clones was investigated. The culture procedure comprised two sequential steps: 1) Induction of shoots by in vitro culture of axillary buds from adult trees (10-15 years old) by culture on Murashige and Skoog3(1962) medium (MS) supplemented with 0.5 mg.dm-BAP (6-benzylaminopurine), 0.1 mg.dm -3 IBA (indolebutyric acid), and 0.1 mg.dm -3 GA3 (gibberellic acid). The Multiplication of the regenerated shoots was achieved in MS + 0.5 rag.din -3 BAP + 0.1 mg.dm -3 GA3.2) In vitro culture of the apical meristems from the regenerated shoots in MS medium (0.7 %) supplemented with various combinations of BAP and IBA.Maximum shoot proliferation was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg-dm -3 BAP and 0.1 mg.dm 3 IBA.Regenerated shoots were rooted on MS + 3.5 mg.dm -3 IBA (4 days) followed by subculture on MS lacking growth regulators (30 days). Complete plants were transferred to soil.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
