Micropropagation of bromeliad Aechmea fasciata via floral organ segments and effects of acclimatization on plantlet growth

Abstract: Although suckers and seedlings can be used for the propagation of bromeliads, the low number of propagules and cross-variation limit their uniformity and mass cultivation. In this study, high-efficiency shoot organogenesis and plant regeneration were achieved on callus derived from petal and ovary explants of Aechmea fasciata (Bromeliaceae). Calluses were induced on half-strength Murashige and Skoog inorganic salts (1/2MS) supplemented with 1.0-1.5 mg l -1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in combination with 1.0… Show more

“…Similarly maximum number of shoots was achieved from leaf section callus of Hyptis suaveolens [34] on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L GA 3 . In the present investigation, 71.6% of the organogenic calli derived through leaf section explants on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L TDZ and 0.25 mg/L NAA produced an average of 2.1 shoots per callus explant which was consistent with the previous reports such as, Saussurea obvallata [14] [39], Aechmea fasciata [40] and Echinacea purpurea [26]. Ghimire et al [41] obtained highest mean number (10.65) of shoots per explant from in vitro leaves of Drymaria cordata on medium containing 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L NAA.…”

“…Abiotic factors, such as light (spectral quality or amount), also help to explain the root emission in non-treated explants, in the acclimatization process, for instance, the irradiance levels interfere in the accumulation of photoassimilates (Huang et al 2011b). Some irradiance levels can increase the temperature, what can cause accumulation of metabolites, such as myo-inositol, glucose, fructose and sucrose, and may be related to the plant homeostasis maintenance, mostly in the initial phases of acclimatization (Mollo et al 2011).…”

“…Thereby, these authors showed that tissue culture techniques are potentially important to the propagation of this taxonomic group. For the Vriesea reitzii Leme & Costa (Alves et al 2006) and Aechmea fasciata Baker (Huang et al 2011b) species, in vitro and ex vitro rhizogenesis capacity were observed from in vitro shoots.…”

“…Also, pistils in rice can be induced from callus, whereas, flowers in Hyacinth were regenerated directly from explants (Lu and Zhu 1991). Shoots of bromeliad were regenerated from callus on petal explants (Huang et al 2011). Choice of cytokinin can influence regeneration type.…”
