A rapid and efficient plant propagation system through nodal and embryo cul­tures was developed for conservation of threatened shrub Barleria prionitis. Nodal explants exhibited high frequency shoot proliferation on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l-1 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 0.5 mg l-1 thidiazuron (TDZ). Microshoots were best rooted on half-strength MS fortified with 0.5 mg l-1 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Maximum conversion (63.6 %) of zygotic embryos into well rooted plantlets was achieved on half-strength MS supplemented with 20 mg l-1 sucrose, devoid of any growth re­gu­lator S. Plantlets with high PSII photochemical efficiency (Fv /Fm ≥ 0.8) were successfully shifted to natural conditions. The overall survival rate during ac­cli­matization from in vitro growth to field transfer was 81 %. The developed mic­ro­pro­pagation protocol can be successfully used for large-scale multiplication and conservation this high value medicinal plant species.


Сони В., Кумари Р., Шварнкар П.Л. Система интенсивной ре­ге­не­ра­ции in vitro для сохранения Barleria prionitis L., редкого лекарственного кус­тар­ника. Разработана быстрая и эффективная система размножения рас­те­ний через меристемные и эмбриональные культуры для сохранения уг­ро­жаемого кустарникового вида Barleria prionitis. Меристемные экс­плантаты де­монстрировали интенсивную пролиферацию побегов на среде Mura­shi­ge и Skoog (MS), дополненную 1,0 мг/л 6-бензиламинопурином (BA) и 0,5 мг/л ти­ди­азуроном (TDZ). Микропобеги лучше всего укоренялись на MS, обогащенной 0,5 мг/л индол-3-масляной кислотой (IBA). Максимальное пре­об­разо­ва­ние (63,6 %) зиготных эмбрионов в укоренившиеся растения бы­ло достигнуто на MS, до­пол­ненной 20 мг/л сахарозы, лишенной ка­ко­го-ли­бо регулятора роста S. Растеньица с высокой фотохимической эф­фек­тив­ностью PSII (Fv / Fm ≥ 0,8) были успешно перенесены в ес­тест­вен­ную среду. Общая выживаемость при акклиматизации от роста in vitro до пе­ре­но­са в естественную среду составляла 81 %. Разработанный про­то­кол мик­ро­размножения может быть успешно использован для круп­но­мас­штаб­но­го размножения и сохранения этих высокоценных лекарственных растений.
