| Summary: | Comparative anatomical studies were carried out on in vivo plants of Triphasia
trifolia (Burm. f.) P. Wilson and in vitro plantlets of the same age. To get the in vitro
plantlets, explants were cultured on MS (Murashige and Skoog) media supplemented
with different concentrations and combinations of hormones. The explant sources of
Triphasia trifolia (Burm. f.) P. Wilson were obtained from cotyledons, leaves, stems,
roots and shoot tips that were placed under conditions of 16 hours light and 8 hours
dark. The optimum media for regeneration was MS supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BAP
and 1.0 mg/L NAA. Cotyledon explants were found to be the most responsive.
Regeneration of complete plantlets was achieved from cotyledon explants after about
4 months in culture. Sectioning was done to study the characteristics of the respective
vascular bundles, shape of cells, palisade cell layers, presence of oil glands, druse and
cuticle layers. Vascular bundles of in vivo leaves were extremely well developed
compared to those in in vitro leaves. The vascular bundle of the in vivo leaf showed
well developed xylem. However, the xylem and phloem cells of the in vitro leaf were
very poorly developed which is one of the features of in vitro plants. Scanning electron
microscope (SEM) studies were also carried out on the in vivo and in vitro plantlets to
observe differences on the leaf surface. |
