Abstract

A method for plant regeneration via organogenesis from Pelagonium inquinans leaf disc has been developed. Mature leaf explants were collected from field-grown plants and used for the induction of adventitious shoot regeneration on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 3% (w/v) sucrose plus plant growth regulators. Maximum shoot organogenesis, with $11.8{\pm}1.5$ shoots (98.6%) per leaf disc, was obtained with $2\;mg/l$ $N^6-benzyladenine$ (BA) and $0.5\;mg/l$ ${\alpha}-naphthyleneacetic$ acid (NAA) in 30 days. For rooting, the in vitro proliferated and elongated shoots were excised into 1.5-2 cm in length microcutting, which were plated individually on an half-strength MS (1/2MS) medium supplemented with 2% (w/v) sucrose plus various concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Shoots rooted with a frequency of 100% following culture on 1/2MS medium containing $0.5\;mg/l$ IBA.
