Effect of growth regulators and explant on plant regeneration of Solanum lycopersicum L. var. cerasiforme

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in the service of biotechnology

“…Moreover, it is reported that young explants have shown to give better morphogenic response than older ones (Harish et al 2010). Dai et al (1988) revealed that the regeneration capacity of tomato explants increased with their age. Depending on the type of explant, seedlings of different ages (7,8,10, or 14 days old) were used (Ishag et al 2009;Kantor et al 2010;Ali et al 2012;Ajenifujah-Solebo et al 2012;Bahurpe et al 2013).…”

Costreductionin the micropropagation of Solanum lycopersicumL. var.cerasiforme

“…1B). However, the use of regulators can increase the multiplication rate since this was observed in the study conducted by Otroshy et al (2013), who obtained better results in the in vitro propagation of the same species with the use of BAP and IAA (indole-3-acetic acid).…”

“…On the other hand, root length did not show significant differences between the three treatments (Table 6). Otroshy et al (2013), cherry tomatoes have enough endogenous auxin for root formation. Despite this, the authors observed that the presence of the growth regulator IAA increased root induction.…”

“…In vitro propagation of cherry tomatoes was reported by Otroshy et al (2013), who used a conventional protocol of tissue culture with high added value; however, low-cost protocols for in vitro cultivation of this species are not found in the literature. Given the high commercial demand, the establishment of economically viable methods can contribute to strengthening the cultivation and commercialization of this fruit.…”

Screening of Five and Six-Membered Nitrogen-Containing Heterocyclic Compounds as New Effective Stimulants of Linum Usitatissimum L. Organogenesis in Vitro

“…Today, the traditionally known synthetic and natural plant growth regulators with auxin and cytokinin activity such as IAA, NAA, IBA, 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, Zeatin, Kinetin, 2iP, BA, BAP, BPA [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and new plant growth regulators such as BSAA (3-(benzo[b] selenienyl)acetic acid), 5,6-Cl 2 -IAA-Me (5,6-dichloroindole-3-acetic acid methylester) [12,13], TDS (thidiazuron) [13][14][15][16][17][18], as well as natural bioregulators [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] are widely used in the biotechnological practice for cultivation of isolated plant tissues and organs and microclonal propagation in vitro of medicinal and agricultural plants. Therefore, the elaboration of new plant growth regulators of synthetic or natural origin as effective substitutes of traditional regulators for practical using in the plant biotechnology is very important and urgent task.…”
