Eremurus spectabilis M. Bieb, a perennial herbaceous wild species, is commonly used in the horticultural, ornamental, and pharmaceutical markets. Studies on the tissue culture systems for this species would be beneficial for mass multiplication as well as for future breeding programs. An in vitro propagation technique was established here using tuberous root explants as unique and responsive starting materials for culture initiation. The proliferated calli were sub-cultured on shoot proliferation media and regenerated microshoots were assessed. The shoot proliferation rate, leaf number, leaf length, and chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were recorded. The highest callus induction per explant (76.67%), callus dry weight (10.25 mg), callus firmness ratio (3.97), and callus color intensity ratio (2.83) were observed in explants inoculated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 10.0 mgL−1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The highest shoot proliferation rates were obtained when calli were sub-cultured on MS or Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) basal media supplemented with 2.0 mgL−1 BAP. The half-strength MS medium fortified with 4.0% sucrose + 2.0 mgL−1 indole butyric acid (IBA) + 200 mgL−1 activated charcoal was a superior combination for root emergence and rooting parameters. Regenerated plantlets were then successfully adapted to ex vitro conditions. The reported protocol can be exploited at a commercial scale following minor modification, or could be beneficial in the production of secondary metabolites in bioreactors where callus is required as fresh plant material.

“…In addition, different sections of the plant are used for medicinal purposes, especially for the treatment of fungal diseases, diabetes, hepatitis, liver and stomach disorders and some cancers (Baytop, 1999;Tuzlacı and Doğan, 2010;Pourfarzad et al, 2014;Abubaker and Hidayat, 2015;Tuzcu et al, 2017). As well as medical significance, E. spectabilis is also used in cut flower production as a popular ornamental geophyte because of its long and alluring spikes (Schiappacasse et al, 2013;Ahmad et al, 2014). Plant roots are also dried and ground to produce a natural adhesive in industry (Dashti et al, 2005;Heshmatol Vaezin et al, 2010;Eghtedarnejad and Mansouri, 2016).…”

Eremurus spectabilis M.Bieb is consumed as a vegetable because of its nutritious characteristics. The plants are also used for medicinal purposes, in the cut flower industry as an ornamental geophytes, and in industry as a natural adhesive. The aim of the present study was to improve the in vitro propagation protocol (in vitro germination and bulblet and shoot formation) of E. spectabilis. For this purpose, E. spectabilis seeds were in vitro germinated in four different nutrient media: Murashige and Skoog (MS), Gamborg (B5), White (WH), and Shenk and Hildebrandt (SH). To stimulate bulblet and/or shoot regeneration, hypocotyls of 35-40-day-old in vitro-germinated plantlets were cut into 0.5-1.0 cm pieces, and the resultant explants were cultured in MS media containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 mg L-1) + Kinetin (0.5 mg L-1), Thidiazuron (TDZ) (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 mg L-1) + 1-Naphthylacetic acid (NAA) (0, 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg L-1), and 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 mg L-1) + 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) (0, 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg L-1). The best outcomes for germination ratio (57.5%) were obtained from the B5 medium. In the third set of in vitro propagation experiments, 100% bulblet formation was achieved in TDZ (0.5 mg L-1) and NAA (0.5 and 0.1 mg L-1) combinations of MS media, and this was followed by 0.5 mg L-1 BAP-containing medium (81.3%). Shoot formation ratios with the same media combinations varied from 60-70%, and the number of shoots per explant varied from 1.4-2.4 shoots. Further in vitro propagation research is planned with larger bulb sizes to develop a protocol for rooting bulblets and/or shoots.

Eremurus spectabilis is a wild edible perennial herbaceous geophyte species with medicinal and popular ornamental uses. In this study, gibberellic acid (GA3) with moist-cold stratification treatments were applied to break the dormancy of E. spectabilis seeds. For this purpose, seeds were soaked in gibberellic acid solutions (GA3: 500 and 750 ppm for 24 and 48 hours). Pretreated seeds were then subjected to moist-cold stratification treatments for different durations (30, 50, 80 and 100 days) at 4 ºC. In 24-hour GA3 treatments, the germination and emergence ratios (21.04%) were obtained from the 500 ppm GA3 dose and 100 days of stratification treatments. In 48-hour GA3 treatments, the GA3 doses did not have any significant effect on germination and emergence ratios; the greatest germination ratios were obtained from the 500 ppm (20.36%) and 750 ppm (20.00%) doses and 100 days of stratification treatments, and the best emergence ratios were obtained from the 500 ppm GA3 dose and 100 days of stratification treatments (18.51%). It is considered that it is beneficial to try the combinations of moist-cold applications with different treatments in future studies.
