Résumé
The present work aims to establish an efficient protocol for in vitro regeneration of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) cultivar L14. The study showed that de-embryonated cotyledon was a suitable explant for shoot multiplication on MS medium containing 4 mg/L BAP. The highest number of shoots per explant obtained after 4 weeks of culture was up to 6.8 shoots. Shoots in vitro were able to produce a large number of approximately 11 roots on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L NAA. These results will be very useful in establishing an in vitro regeneration protocol for peanut cultivar L14 during gene transfer in the next studies to improve their disease resistance.

Effects of N6-benzyladenine (BA) or thidiazuron (TDZ) on adventitious shoot regeneration and axillary shoot multiplication of Sedum sarmentosum was investigated. Leaf and shoot tip explants obtained from in vitro-grown shoots of S. sarmentosum were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0, 2.0, 4.0 or 8.0 µM BA or TDZ. Of the two cytokinins studied, BA was found to be more responsive as compared to TDZ with respect to number of shoots produced per explant. High frequency of shoot regeneration (92.2%) with a mean of 12.3 shoots was produced when the leaf explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 8.0 µM BA. The highest number of shoots (25.4) was obtained when shoot tip explants were cultured on MS medium devoid of cytokinins after 35 days of culture. For root induction, regenerated shoots were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0, 2.0, 4.0 or 8.0 µM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) or α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The highest number of (17.6) roots per shoot was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 µM IBA after 30 days of culture. Regenerated plantlets were successfully acclimatized in the greenhouse with 100% survival rate.
Résumé
Lavandula angustifolia (Family Labiates) is a medicinal herb found in Mediterranean area. It is a well known herb in ayurvedic system of medicines and has traditionally been used to treat disorder of liver, fever and several conditions including infertility, infection and anxiety. There are few reports on tissue culture of Lavandula angustifolia that too mainly on micropropagation. Present study explored an in vitro micropropagation of Lavandula angustifolia. In vitro callus formation was established by using nodal segments on Murashique and Skoog, (1962) medium (MS) supplemented with IAA at 0.1mg/l, l BAP at 0.002mg/l and 2-4D at 0.2mg/l, significantly recorded complete callus formation after 6 weeks of incubation at 25±1ºC. The callus was allowed for organogenesis and then shoot multiplication was carried out at 4 concentrations of BAP (0.5, 1, 2 and 1mg/L) and IAA (0.5, 0.5, 0.5 and 1mg/L) on MS medium. The shoot regeneration medium for shoot multiplication and proliferation with higher number of shoots was recorded at 0.5mg/l of IAA and 2.0mg/l BAP. However, the growth was very steady and originating from the base. MS medium without any growth regulators tabulated the tallest shoot length of 35 mm, but the shoots were clustered not properly differentiated.

Background Chlorophytum borivilianum is a rare medicinal plant originally distributed throughout the forest of India. The tubers of C. borivilianum are used as an aphrodisiac and impotence supplement. The propagation of C. borivilianum is possible through seeds and tubers, but conventional methods may take several months. Hence in vitro technique of shoot regeneration could be an efficient alternative means of propagating the species. Latest study reported microtuberization of C. borivilianum but there is no sufficient study on a rapid method for shoot multiplication and elongation. Results Young shoot buds of C. borivilianum were cultured on MS medium containing 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and Kinetin (Kn), both at 0, 8.88, 17.8 and 26.6 µM, either individually or in combinations. Proliferated shoots were subcultured on fresh medium of the same constituents on week 3 of culture for further shoot multiplication and elongation. BAP alone (8.88-26.6 µM) was significantly effective on shoot multiplication, while Kn alone (8.88-26.6 µM) was significantly effective on shoot elongation compared to the control containing MS basal medium without any plant growth regulator. However, combination of both cytokinins stimulated an interaction producing higher shoot number and shoot length compared to their individual application. Conclusions The most suitable combination was 8.88 µM BAP + 8.88 µM Kn, reaching a mean shoot number of 10.83 and shoot length of 6.85 cm.
