“…Annatto is a species in which pluripotency of cells and tissues has been proven from various types of explants derived from seedlings, such as shoot and nodal segments (D'Souza and Sharon 2001), hypocotyl segments (Paiva Parimalan et al 2007), inverted rooted hypocotyls (Paiva Neto et al 2003/4), cotyledonary nodes (Carvalho et al 2005), cotyledons (Parimalan et al 2007), root segments , petiole segments (Mohammed et al 2015), and from nodal and internodal adult stem segments (Siril and Joseph 2013; Cruz et al 2015). Additionally, several plant growth regulators were tested on these explants, such as auxins, i.e., indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) alone or, most commonly, in combination with cytokinins like 6-γ,γ-dimetylalylamino-purine (2-iP), zeatin (ZEA), kinetin (Kin), 6-benzyladenine (BA), and thidiazuron (TDZ)…”
