A robust method modulated by Ancymidol for the direct regeneration of Galium asperifolium Wall.
摘要
An efficient in vitro propagation method for Galium asperifolium Wall. was developed using nodal explants. Initially, explants were cultured on agar-gelled, Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP). Of the tested concentrations, 6 µM BAP was optimal for the cultures. Different cytokinins viz., Kinetin (KIN), meta-Topolin (mT), 6- (γ,γ-Dimethylallyl amino) purine (2-iP), and Thidiazuron (TDZ), were compared with BAP and established the efficiency of 6 µM BAP to achieve a high rate of multiplication (13.9 shoots/explant) and explant response (100%). However, the microshoots in 6 µM BAP were intractable due to their height, and also, the shoots raised were thin and slender, which affected the subsequent rooting and hardening. A gibberellin inhibitor, ancymidol (ANC), was tested at different concentrations (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 12 µM) along with 6 µM BAP. A combination of ANC (10 µM) with 6 µM BAP produced compact and robust microshoots with maximum regeneration potential (shoot number = 65.62 shoots per explant). Microshoots raised in ANC supplemented medium treated with 10 mM IBA for 3 min, followed by planting in soil conditions, produced maximum rooting (85.71%) compared to the control. The inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) marker analysis confirmed monomorphism among all the tested plantlets. ANC in combination with BAP is an effective way to produce short and sturdy microshoots, coupled with a 1.64-fold increase in shoot proliferation compared to the control. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the micropropagation and the homogeneity assessment after micropropagation of G. asperifolium.
