Plant tissue culture of Nicotiana tabacum cv. TAPM 26 and its minimum inhibition against herbicide-Dalapon

Abstract

Current study is to establish a basic plant tissue culture of Nicotiana tabacum TAPM 26 and test the plant tissue on resistancies against 2,2 DCP an active ingredient in herbicide-Dalapon. During micropropagation, the surface sterilization method was ascertained on seeds of tobacco. HgCl2 was used to disinfect tobacco seeds at different concentrations (0.05 gL -1 , 0.2 gL -1 , 0.5 gL -1 and 1.0 gL -1 ) within three minutes. About 70% seeds were survived when exposed to 0.05 gL -1 of HgCl2, whereas, no seeds were germinated when sterilized at concentrations above 0.05 gL -1 of HgCl2. To optimize an efficient protocol of shoots and callus formation during in vitro regeneration, explant types and plant growth were studied. Growth regulators NAA (0.1 mgL -1 , 0.2 mgL -1 , 0.5 mgL -1 , 1.0 mgL -1 and 2.0 mgL -1 ) and BAP (1.0 mgL -1 , 2.0 mgL -1 , 3.0 mgL -1 and 4.0 mgL -1 ) were used. The explants types were one month old leaves and two weeks old cotyledons. The maximum numbers of shoots per explants were obtained from cotyledon with combination 0.1 mgL -1 NAA and 1.0 mgL -1 BAP. The highest callus fresh weight was achieved when NAA 0.5 mgL -1 with BAP 1.0 mgL -1 after four weeks. Thus, the highest number of shoots produced per explants from leaves culture on the MS media containing 0.2 mgL -1 NAA and 4.0 mgL -1 BAP. The best callus fresh weight was obtained with combination of 1.0 mgL -1 NAA and 1.0 mgL -1 BAP by using leaves explant. Finally, Dalapon (5 gL -1 , 10 gL -1 , 15 gL -1 and 20 gL -1 ) were applied onto leaves and cotyledon cultures of N. tabacum to check on the minimum concentration of inhibition. The minimum concentration of inhibition of leaves and cotyledon cultures of N. tabacum was at 5 gL -1 of 2,2DCP but not at 10 gL -1 , 15 gL -1 and 20 gL -1 . This investigation will shed alight for future studies on transgenic tobacco resistant against Dalapon Research article

Plants in vitro propagation with its applications in food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic industries; current scenario and future approaches

“…Plant tissue culture plays a significant role in basic research in the areas of plant pathology, plant physiology, plant metabolites and conservation ( Espinosa-Leal et al., 2015 ; Chandran et al., 2020 ; Vidyagina et al., 2021 ; Taalat et al., 2021 ). Plant micro-propagation has extensively been used to have an insight into plant pathology studies which include factors influencing penetration, infection and multiplication of pathogens, the nature of irregular cell division or growth, and the morphogenetic potential of the diseased cell ( Maheshwari, 1969 ; Köhl et al., 2019 ).…”

Multidisciplinary study of the role of calcium in plant in vitro embryogenesis

“…In this pioneering work, embryos were induced in MS medium supplemented with benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 1naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Since then, several protocols have been successfully ideated using other hormones such as thidiazuron (TDZ) (Gill and Saxena 1993) and different concentrations of auxin and cytokinin Heidari Japelaghi et al 2018;Kaya et al 2021;Shahbazi et al 2022).…”
