Abstract
Various parts of seedlings and in vitro propagated shoots of Alhagi graecorum Boiss were cultured on different media with different 6-benzyladenine (BA) and kinetin (KIN) concentrations to compare their potential to regenerate shoots. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 2.5 μM BA and hypocotyl gave the best results. Callus was obtained from stem segments on MS medium supplemented with 2.5 μM BA, 5 μM 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.5 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Shoot formation from callus occurred upon its transfer to MS medium supplemented with 2.5 μM BA. Mature explants which showed a relatively low potential for adventitious buds or callus formation, regenerated shoots abundantly using the tiny-mature-explant method. The regenerated shoots were rooted on half strength MS medium supplemented with 5 μM 3-indolebutyric acid (IBA).
