Invitro Regeneration of a Threatened Medicinal Plant Phyllodium Pulchellum L. Desv.
Journal Title: International Journal of Botany and Research (IJBR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
An efficient in vitro regeneration protocol was developed Phyllodium pulchellum (L.) Desv. A threatened medicinal plant. The plants were regeneration from shoot tip and nodal explants. The highest number of shoots per explant was obtained on the medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/l BAP + IAA 0.5 mg/l from shoot tip explants (4.30±0.40) and nodal explants (4.06±0.31). The elongated shoots were successfully rooted on MS with NAA (α- naphthalene acetic acid) or IBA; 0.75 mg/l of NAA provided better response for rhizogenesis among them. For regenerated shoots rooting, MS medium supplemented with 0.75 mg/l NAA (α- naphthalene acetic acid) was most effective with maximum number (4.50±0.36 roots per plantlet) and length (2.76±0.15 cm per root) of roots respectively. Regenerated plantlets were successfully transferred into pots with soil and over 90% of them grew into healthy mature plants. This is the first report of direct organogenesis in P. Pulchellum with significantly high plantlet regeneration frequency.
