Impatiens is an ornamental member of family Balsaminaceae. This plant mostly
propagated by vegetative technique, which generally time wasting process. It
is often multiplicities via seed but is barricaded by F1 seed sterility. In
vitro culture of Impatiens walleriana has much significant function in fast
proliferation with useful features and elicitation of healthful and
disease-free plants. This experiment was conducted to investigate the impact
of medium and different hormones on in vitro propagation of Impatiens
walleriana by using a completely randomized design. MS medium was prepared
along with various concentrations of BAP, TDZ and ZEA. Callus was induced
and grew well in media supplemented with 0.5 mg/l NAA + 1 mg/l BAP. In order
to indirect propagation, explants were cultured in same media containing
BAP, ZEA and TDZ in combination with NAA. These treatments have ability to
organogenesis. The results revealed that the control treatment had the
lowest effect on traits including shoot percentage, number of shoots, number
of leaves, shoot length, fresh and dry weight, and it lead to maximum
proliferations in medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l NAA + 1 mg/l BAP. The
highest root length and rooting percentage was observed in 0.5 mg/l IBA +
0.5 mg/l BAP. In addition, the effect of mutation agents was studied.
Aseptic samples were treated with ?- irradiation, Ethyl Methane Sulfonate
and colchicines at growth chamber. Treatments with 30 and 60 grey
respectively had the lower survival rate, growth rate and polyploidy while
colchicines with 0.1 and 0.2 had the highest rats. Regarding to these, the
present technique illustrate an effective system for in vitro reproduction
of Impatiens walleriana by hypocotyls cultures. In addition, colchicines
proved to be effective in induction of polyploidy in this plantlet.
