Induction and Proliferation of Moringa oleifera Somatic Embryo Callus using Solid Liquid and Temporary Immersion System

Moringa oleifera Lam., a promising functional food, can be propagated rapidly through somatic embryogenesis technique. This method has advantages, such as rapid seed generation, absence of a dormant phase, and bipolar cotyledons. The induction of M. oleifera callus involves plant growth regulators, the type of explants, and the media used. In this study, we investigated the effects of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L of BAP and picloram on inducing embryonic callus in M. oleifera plants. Additionally, we examined the impact of amino acids such as proline, glutamine, and cysteine on the proliferation stage of the embryonic callus. The results showed that 1 mg/L BAP and picloram significantly enhanced callus induction, as indicated by increased callus diameter, weight, and volume. The growth of M. oleifera callus was also influenced by the concentration of amino acids. The optimal proliferation callus was achieved using 200 mg/L of proline in Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut (DKW) medium with the Temporary Immersion System (TIS). Furthermore, embryogenic callus was generated using 200 mg/L proline, 50 mg/L glutamine, and 50 and 100 mg/L cysteine. The addition of 200 mg/L proline to DKW yielded the best results in TIS.

Growth and Proline Accumulation in Response to Osmotic Stress Induced by Polyethylene Glycol Treatment in Tacca leontopetaloides Cultured In Vitro

 

Tacca leontopetaloides known as Polynesian arrowroot is a wild tuberous perennial herb. In addition, T. leontopetaloides is a valuable plant not only as staple food but also as a medicinal herb. Nonetheless, there are very few literatures and research on the potential of this plant. In this study, the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as stress osmoticum in T. leontopetaloides cultured in vitro on growth and proline accumulation was investigated. The shoot culture of T. leontopetaloides was subjected to six levels of PEG concentrations (2.5; 5; 7.5; 10; 12.5 and 15%). Growth parameter was evaluated by observing shoot height, number of shoots, number of leaves and number of roots for 6 weeks of culture. After 6 weeks of culture, fresh weight and proline content were determined. The results showed that number of shoots and number of leaves increased after 2.5% PEG treatment while number of roots increased after 5% PEG treatment. Conversely, higher concentrations of PEG inhibited growth. In line with this, culture fresh weight decreased along with the increase of PEG concentrations. To summarize, the growth of culture decreased along with the increase of PEG concentrations. In contrast, proline concentration increased along with the increase of PEG concentrations.
