ABSTRACT

Recalcitrance and contamination in Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) and Spanish cedar (Cedrela odorata L.) stem tissues are the main causes of its ineffective in vitro propagation. The objectives of this research were: a) to evaluate sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and plant preservative mixture (PPM®) as surface disinfectants and/or added to the culture medium for the in vitro establishment of nodal explants taken from 10-year-old Mahogany and Spanish cedar plants, and b) to evaluate the in vitro response of such explants treated with N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) (0, 2.2, 4.4, 8.8, 17.7 μM), silver nitrate (AgNO3) (0, 3 mg l-1), activated charcoal (0, 1 g l-1) and vented caps. All the experiments were arranged in a completely randomized design. The NaOCl at 15%, for 20 min, as a surface sterilization or PPM® at 2 ml l-1 into the culture medium, were the best treatments to reduce contamination for both species. For Mahogany explants, BAP at 17.7 μM resulted in higher percentages of bud breaks than Spanish cedar (64% and 25%, respectively). Leaves on elongated shoots dropped off by 20 days after starting the explants in culture and neither the activated charcoal nor the AgNO3 alone or combined prevented leaf abscission. The AgNO3 decreased contamination, but also increased leaf abscission. Bud breaks was two-fold higher for nodal explants established in vessels with vented caps than with normal caps. Mahogany nodal explants were easier to surface sterilize and more buds broke from BAP treated explants than Spanish cedar treated explants in the in vitro establishment.


La contaminación y la recalcitrancia de tejidos de tallo de Caoba (Swietenia macrophylla King) y Cedro español (Cedrela odorata L.) son las causas principales de su inefectiva micro-propagación. Los objetivos de la investigación fueron: a) evaluar el hipoclorito de sodio (NaClO) y una mezcal preservadora de plantas (PPM®) como desinfectantes superficiales y/o agregados al medio de cultivo para el establecimiento in vitro de explantes nodales de Caoba y Cedro español de 10 años de edad; b) evaluar la respuesta in vitro de tales explantes tratados con N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) (0, 2.2, 4.4, 8.8, 17.7 μM), nitrato de plata (AgNO3) (0, 3 mg l-1), carbón activado (0, 1 g l-1) y tapas porosas. Los experimentos fueron establecidos bajo un diseño completamente al azar. La contaminación se redujo en ambas especies con NaOCl al 15% durante 20 min como desinfección superficial o con PPM® (2 ml l-1) agregado al medio de cultivo. El mayor porcentaje de brotación de explantes se obtuvo con BAP a 17.7 μM en caoba (64%) comparado con cedro (25%). Los brotes se defoliaron a los 20 días de cultivo y ni el carbón activado ni el AgNO3, solos o combinados evitaron la defoliación. El AgNO3 disminuyó la contaminación, pero incrementó la defoliación. La brotación fue dos veces mayor en los explantes nodales establecidos en recipientes con tapas porosas que cuando se utilizaron tapas normales. Los explantes nodales de Caoba respondieron mejor a la desinfección superficial y a los tratamientos de BAP comparados con los de Cedro español en el establecimiento in vitro.
