摘要
In vitro flowering, in vitro fruiting and effective micropropagation protocol were studied in Withania somnifera, an antitumor medicinal plant using axillary bud explants. The Murashige and Skoog's medium (MS) supplemented with e-benzyl adenine (BA) 2.0 mg l(-1) and a-naphthalene acetic acid 0.1 mg l(-1) was found optimum for production of multiple shoots. The regenerated plantlets were found to form tiny green floral buds after 4-6 weeks of culture in MS medium supplemented with Kinetin (0.5-4.0 mg l(-1)) and indole-3-acetic acid (0.1 mg l(-1)). In vitro fruiting was observed in the presence of Kn (2.0 mg l(-1)) and IAA (0.1 mg l(-1)). This paper describes in vitro flowering system to overcome problems associated with flower growth and development as well as fruit and seed production in vitro. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
