ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this work is to develop a protocol for callus induction of Moroccan Citrus rootstocks.
Methodology and results: Callus cultures were initiated from embryos explants of five Citrus rootstocks (Cleopatra mandarin, Rangpur lime, Citrus volkameriana, Trifoliate orange, Citrus aurantium) on Murashige and Tucker (MT) and Tucker (MT) basal media. Different concentrations of growth regulators were tested in order to obtain the best callus formation: 2, 4-dichloro-phenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) in combination with benzylaminopurine (BAP) at five levels (0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3mgL-1) were used in this study. It was found that growth regulator concentration had a significant effect on the callus induction, the callus growth and callus physical appearance. The highest frequency of the callus induction rate (100% and 83%) was observed with two combinations of 2, 4-D/BAP: 1 / 0, 5 and 2/1 (mgl-1). Medium containing only BAP (1mgl-1) resulted in the formation of large numbers of roots. Also, the callus induced on MT medium containing only 2, 4-D (1mgl-1) was brown in color and of low quality compared to that produced on MT media containing 2, 4-D/BAP. There was no callus formation on MT basal medium without growth regulators.
Also, the callogenesis depended on the genotype. It was maximal for Cleopatra mandarin followed by Rangpur lime and Citrus volkameriana, and then Citrus aurantium and trifoliate orange.
Conclusion and application: Passing through callus is paramount in vitro selection that plant tissue is an important source of genetic variability. The explants and exogenous phytohormones proved of paramount importance for the success of the callus and the formation of somatic embryos and their development.
Key words: Callus induction, Citrus rootstocks, 2, 4-D, BAP.

  1. I am really inspired with your writing abilities and also with the structure on your weblog. Is that this a paid topic or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one these days..

  2. My typical wow gold will be sizing 4, i really ordered many of these inside the Ten. When i undoubtedly often have increased a suitable width. They’re legal . think you would like to choose some sort of volume downward just like the story states, if anything I only say search a size-up. They will be hard to get regarding, but once you’ve gotten them entirely on these are typically seriously novel hence awesome. I actually confirmed an important 5 barely because of the reason they happen to be difficult to get don / doff.

  8. First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Many thanks!

  10. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. However just imagine if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this site could certainly be one of the best in its field. Terrific blog!

  19. Ou peut-être est que ce quelque chose qui a été un problème dans de la fin?Parker: Nous avons possédé drogues fortes au cours des dernières décennies en considérant que a commencé à devenir en conséquence plus faible prix. Conduit à cette

  27. Thank you for being our instructor on this subject. My partner and i enjoyed your current article very much and most of all favored how you really handled the areas I considered to be controversial. You are always quite kind towards readers much like me and aid me in my living. Thank you.
