Micropropagation and in vitro flowering in Pentanema indicum Ling

Abstract: In this study we have investigated micropropagation and in vitro flowering for a medicinally important plant Pentanema indicum. Maximum callus proliferation was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg l Ϫ1 BAP and 1.0 mg l Ϫ1 IBA. The best shoot regeneration (19Ϯ1.0) was achieved in five weeks when callus was cultured on MS medium amended with 4.0 mg l Ϫ1 BAP and 1.0 mg l Ϫ1 IAA. Direct multiple shoot initiation was also obtained from shoot tip and nodal explants in the presence of BAP and IAA. Addition… Show more

“…Higher frequency of flowering was observed when the medium was supplemented with 3% (w/v) sucrose than with 1, 2, 4 and 5% (Table 5). This result coincides with earlier reports in Pentanema indicum (Sivanesan and Jeong 2007), Pisum sativum (Franklin et al 2000) and Gentiana trifolia (Zhang and Leung 2002). Sucrose and cytokinins interact with each other for floral induction in Sinapis alba by moving between shoot and root (Havelange et al 2000).…”

“…Higher concentrations of BA (> 8.8 µM) inhibited callus induction. Similar reports have been observed on Pentanema indicum (Sivanesan and Jeong 2007). Callus formation on cytokinin enriched medium was found more frequent in species with strong apical dominance (Preece et al 1991).…”

“…The formation of seeds requires flowering phase in such commercial oil crops. Therefore, in vitro propagation along with in vitro flowering will not only help in production of better quality of oil plants but will also ensure shortening of the breeding cycle (Sivanesan and Jeong 2007;Kielkowska and Havey 2012;Haque and Ghosh 2013a) and studying the developmental pattern of flowers from vegetative to floral phase (Huang et al 2009).…”
