tailieunhanh - Propagation of endangered Thermopsis turcica Kit Tan, Vural & Küçüködük using conventional and in vitro techniques

This report deals with the successful clonal propagation of endangered T. turcica using rhizome cuttings and epicotyl explants. Rhizome cuttings were treated with α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) before planting for vegetative multiplication. | Turk J Biol 33 (2009) 327-333 © TÜBİTAK doi: Propagation of endangered Thermopsis turcica Kit Tan, Vural & Küçüködük using conventional and in vitro techniques Süleyman CENKCİ, Mehmet TEMEL, Mustafa KARGIOĞLU, Sergun DAYAN Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Science, Afyon Kocatepe University, 03200, Afyonkarahisar - TURKEY Received: Abstract: This report deals with the successful clonal propagation of endangered T. turcica using rhizome cuttings and epicotyl explants. Rhizome cuttings were treated with α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) before planting for vegetative multiplication. Rhizome cuttings pretreated with NAA (10 mg/L) were both rooted and sprouted () after 100 days. Application of NAA induced callus and adventitious root formation in epicotyl explants and 6-benzyladenine (BA) induced production of microshoots. Low levels of NAA ( μM) together with BA promoted shoot initiation and development. The highest regeneration rate (), with a mean number of shoots () and a mean length of shoots ( cm) per epicotyl, was achieved at 10 μM BA and μM NAA. About 83% of in vitro regenerated shoots rooted on a ½ Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with μM NAA. In vitro plantlets were morphologically normal and a uniform chromosome complement of 2n = 18 was detected in root tips. The study demonstrated that both conventional and in vitro techniques could be useful for large scale multiplication and propagation of this endangered plant species.
