Establishment of an in vitro micropropagation protocol for Boscia senegalensis (Pers.) Lam. ex Poir.

Abstract: This report describes in vitro micropropagation of Boscia senegalensis, so-called famine foods, that helped the people in Darfur and Kordofan, Sudan survive during the 1984-1985 famine. Four types of explants prepared from green mature zygotic embryos were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium augmented with 1-5 mg/L 6-benzyladenine (BA). The highest number of shoots per explant (14.3±0.9) was achieved on MS medium supplemented with 3 mg/L BA, while the highest shoot length [(3.5±0.4) cm] was obtained wi… Show more

“…In agreement, Prathanturarug et al (2012) found that IBA was superior to NAA in terms of root induction percentage and number of roots per shoot with S. hutanguriana regenerated shoots after 8 weeks in culture. A similar trend was also observed for other species including Centella asiatica (Tiwari et al 2000), Boscia senegalensis (Khalafalla et al 2011), Pappea capensis (Mngomba et al 2007) and Teucrium fruticans (Frabetti et al 2009). …”

“…These results seems to be in complies with those found by Faisal et al (2006) when they evaluate the effect of BA, kin and 2-iP as supplements to Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium since they found that benzyladinine (BA) at an optimal concentration (5.0 μM) was effective in inducing multiple shoots. Also, Khalafalla et al (2011) on Boscia senegalensis achieved the highest number of shoots per explant on MS medium supplemented with 3 mg l -1 BA, while the highest shoot length was obtained with 1 mg l -1 BA.…”

“…Another successful result has been obtained by Khalafalla et al (2011). They found that the maximum mean number of shoots per explant (86.5±3.6) was produced after three multiplication cycles on 3 mg/L BA-supplemented medium.…”
