Effects of plant growth regulators on callus induction from Cananga odorata flower petal explant
The Cananga odorata callus was initiated from petals of the C. odorata flowers on MS medium and B5 vitamins containing 30 g/L sugar and 3 g/L agar. The medium was also supplemented with different concentrations of 1-naphtalene acetic acid (NAA), and combinations of NAA with 6-benzylaminpurine(BAP) a...

| Summary: | The Cananga odorata callus was initiated from petals of the C. odorata flowers on MS medium and B5 vitamins containing 30 g/L sugar and 3 g/L agar. The medium was also supplemented with different concentrations of 1-naphtalene acetic acid (NAA), and combinations of NAA with 6-benzylaminpurine(BAP) as the plant growth regulators. It was observed that the C. odorata callus could be induced on
media containing the combination of 3 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L BAP. High concentration of NAA gave rise to pale, whitish and friable callus after 1 - 2 weeks of culture. The optimum pH for the cell culture was about 5.7 and incubation at 25 ± 2°C, in totally dark condition. |
