Особенности индуцированного морфогенеза и регенерации растений из соматических тканей люцерны сортов отечественной селекции в культуре in vitro

Abstract

The authors have studied Morphogenesis and regeneration features of domestic breeding cultivars of alfalfa and conditions for obtaining regenerant plants from the morphogenic callus tissues. As a result of the study, the efficient sterilization protocol of alfalfa seeds was established with the use of sterilizing agents as 70% ethanol and 10% sodium hypochlorite which resulted in the production of 100% aseptically viable seedlings for the further in vitro studies. Callus initiation from cotyledons and hypocotyls was implemented on a Gamborg B5 nutrient medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoacetic acid (2,4-D), kinetin in a concentration of 5,0 mg/l, and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) of 0,1 mg/l. Induction of morphogenic callus was achieved on a Gamborg B5 medium with 0,2 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Further shoot initiation occurred on a hormone-free Gamborg B5 medium with the addition of Gamborg B5 vitamins, and on a half-strength medium with the addition of 0,2mg/l kinetin. It was found that established method of obtaining regenerated plants from the callus cultures of Medicago Varia proved itself effective.
