Growth regulators and darkness increase efficiency in in vitro culture of immature embryos from peppers

Abstract: Common pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the most important vegetables in the world, and extensive breeding efforts are being made to develop new improved strains of this species. In this regard, in vitro culture of immature embryos may help breeders accelerate breeding cycles and overcome interspecific barriers, among other applications. In this study, we have optimized a protocol for in vitro culture of immature embryos of C. annuum. Levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and zeatin have been tested to imp… Show more

“…Hasanah et al (2014) reported that banana extract contains 0.00035% IAA (auxin) and 0.00020% cytokinin. Furthermore, the action of auxin and cytokinin was influenced by light, where both hormones were degraded when exposed to light (Manzur et al 2014). This might explain the higher values of plant height and leaf length in medium NP+100 g/l banana extract in the dark than in light conditions.…”

“…The amniotic cavity represents the internal cavity of three cavities to ensure the darkness that surrounds the early stages of embryonic development. In this regard, [2] found in bola embryos that initial dark incubation improvs efficiency rates at all embryo stages, especially in first (globular) embryos which could increase more than 6 times. It has been suggested that light could affect embryonic development in some species either by direct toxic effect on the embryo, or indirectly by photo-oxidation of components in media [3].…”
