The present work aimed to evaluate the effects of encapsulated microorganisms on seedlings of Eugenia stipitata, popularly known as araçá-boi, to evaluate the interaction between the inoculum and encapsulating agents such as clay and alginate. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design using a 3×2 factorial scheme. The treatments were control, inoculum, clay without microbial inoculum, clay with microbial inoculum, alginate without microbial inoculum, and alginate with microbial inoculum. The seedlings were grown under nursery conditions over a period of 3 months. No treatment increased the height, stem diameter, shoot dry matter or root dry matter of the araçá-boi seedlings. The use of alginate increased the ammonium content compared to the clay and control treatments. Alginate and clay increased the nitrate content in relation to the control. Alginate increased the total number of bacteria in relation to the clay and control treatments. The application of inoculum combined with alginate increased the nitrate content only in relation to the clay and control treatments. Although the application of inoculum promoted an increase in the nitrate content compared to the uninoculated treatments, there was no effect for the other parameters analyzed. The results suggest that clay and alginate encapsulating agents with the presence or absence of microorganisms may improve some soil parameters.

“…Tissue culture and micropropagation of medicinal plants form the basis for their industrial use and biotransformation, commercialization of their active compounds, or preservation of genetic resources (Máthé et al, 2015). Recently, four studies using TCLs on medicinal plants were conducted, namely Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell (Croom et al, 2016), Scutellaria ocmulgee Small (Vaidya et al 2016), Urginea altissima (L.f.) Baker (Baskaran et al, 2018), and Withania coagulans (Stocks) Dunal (Tripathi et al, 2018).…”

“…Uperoleia altissima leaf lTCLs formed 17.4 shoots per explant after incubation for 4 weeks in a liquid MS basal medium supplemented with 2 μM BA and 10 μM metatopolin followed by transfer to a semi-liquid medium for 8 more weeks under a 16-h photoperiod (Baskaran et al, 2018). In such a case, 100% of lTCLs formed shoots, whereas explants in the PGR-free control formed none.…”

Plant thin cell layers (TCLs), which consist of a few layers of cells, are typically 0.5-1 mm thick. After the first application of TCLs to tobacco in 1943, and after 45 years of their practical application to plant tissue culture, TCLs have proven to be an effective tool for the in vitro culture of dozens of plant species. Their higher productivity compared to conventional explants has made TCLs continually relevant and useful in plant research and applied plant biotechnology. On the 45th anniversary of TCLs, this mini-review highlights the emergence of about a dozen new studies published in the past three years (2016-2018) that employed TCLs in either basic tissue culture or applied in vitro biotechnology. These new results emerged for medicinal plants (Bacopa monnieri, Scutellaria ocmulgee, Urginea altissima, Withania coagulans), fruit trees (Rubus spp.), vegetables (Allium ascalonicum, Allium schoenoprasum), a conifer (Pinus patula), ornamental plants including Lilium and three orchids (Dendrobium aqueum, Dendrobium aphyllum, Malaxis wallichii), and a model plant (Arabidopsis thaliana). In plant biotechnology, TCLs have a rich history and their continued use and future application to plant tissue culture or genetic transformation is promising.

“…ese two problems can be overcome through the production of good saplings via micropropagation from high-quality mother plants. Micropropagation is an appropriate choice for the multiplication of plants, since it allows the production of uniform saplings true-to-type to the mother plant in large quantities and at a relatively short time [9][10][11], but to the best of our knowledge it has not been applied to Sumatra Benzoin. Micropropagation can be done from various types of explants obtained from a mother plant, namely, seeds, young leaves, petioles, stem segments, axillary shoots, apical or axillary meristems, etc.…”

Micropropagation of Sumatra Benzoin is potential to provide good-quality seed for future preservation of the forest and improve the incense sap production. The production of Styrax plants is currently limited by the availability of seed. This research demonstrated the micropropagation of Sumatra Benzoin (Styrax benzoin Dryander), producing good-quality saplings that could be used for obtaining nontimber forest products. Elite mother plant was selected and used as a source of explants. Identification of healthy trees was carried out based on the phenotype criteria, and the selection of a mother plant was performed through information on the quality and quantity production of incense sap. Micropropagation started from callus induction in young leaves followed by subculture to obtain regeneration of shoots and roots. The combination of NAA and BAP in the culture media greatly affected the growth and development of callus, shoots, and roots. The use of 3 mg/L NAA and 3 mg/L NAA rendered the heaviest calli. Shoots were regenerated with 0.5 mg/L NAA and 3.0 mg/L BAP, and the highest growth of roots was obtained by using of 3.0 mg/ NAA without BAP. This research reports the first in vitro propagation technique for Styrax benzoin. Further research is underway to obtain very good-quality plant saplings to be used for forest conservation and to increase the production of incense sap as a nontimber forest commodity.
