Abstract
The present investigation aimed to evaluate the reliability of in vitro propagation methods for elite genotypes of Jatropha curcas L., that maintain genetic integrity of tissue culture (TC) regenerates among two regeneration systems developed through direct shoot bud regeneration using nodal/apical shoot segments (protocol-A) and in vitro-derived leaves (protocol-B) as explants. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR), simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers, and flow cytometery (FCM) were employed to evaluate genetic homogeneity in TC-regenerates at different passages of subcultures. RAPD markers showed genetic homogeneity in fifth-generation TC-regenerates of both protocols. ISSR markers showed genetic stability of leaf regenerates (protocol-B) at 10th generation. FCM analysis of TC-regenerates at 10th generation in protocol-B and at 20th generation in both protocols, showed stability of ploidy level. SSR assessment of TC-regenerates at 20th generation in both protocols confirmed genetic homogeneity. The results confirmed the genetic stability of the TC-regenerates and demonstrated the reliability of the regeneration systems developed so far using explants of two different origins, for large-scale multiplication of elite genotypes of Jatropha.
