This study aimed to optimize an in vitro shootlets regeneration system via direct organogenesis for Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Brunca using 24-epibrassinolide (24-Epi). The best medium for shootlets proliferation as well as growth parameters was MS supplemented with 2 mg L-1 TDZ + 0.1 mg L-1 24-Epi. Stem explants recorded the best results of shootlets proliferation percentage compared with leaf or root explants, respectively. MS medium supplemented with 2 mg L-1 TDZ + 0.1 mg L-1 24-Epi gave the best results of recovered shootlets (%); photosynthetic pigments, number of leaves, number of shootlets and shootlet length (cm). From the obtained results it can be recognized that, the behavior and trends of 24-Epi on in vitro P. vulgaris cultures media may be oriented and arranged to the behavior of auxins in the nutrient medium for roots formation and as a cytokinin in shootlets proliferation.
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.
