Plantlets regenerated from shoot apices, cotyledons and callus cultures in Moth bean, Vigna aconitifolia (JACQ) Marechal, a drought resistant legume and pulse crop, were rooted and transferred to soil. Explants for these studies were derived from seedlings pre-conditioned by germination of seeds on B5BA and WMB (control).
High yields of viable protoplasts were obtained from callus cultures derived from shoot apices of Vigna aconitifolia (JACQ) Marechal. The protoplasts divided and formed cell clusters on modified MS medium. The protoplast-derived callus formed multiple shoot buds on MS and B5 basal media without supplements, on MS medium containing supplements and on B5 medium containing charcoal (0.25%). Shoot formation occurred.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
