Regeneration of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) from root explants

Abstract: Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) was efficiently regenerated from cultured roots of 15-d-old seedlings on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0.45 mM thidiazuron and 13.3 mM 6-benzyladenine. Within 28 d of culture initiation, induction of organogenic calluses and subsequent differentiation into shoot buds were observed. Shoot buds upon subculture to MS basal medium elongated into healthy shoots. Excised shoots (2-4 cm) were rooted on Soilrite w irrigated with water either in vitro or in vivo. Plants with… Show more

“…Also, callus induction response may be affected by the specificity of explants used for shoot regeneration; thus, explants from 30-days old seedlings revealed better callus induction frequency and subsequent regeneration compared with explants from in vitro developed older plants. Further, the differences in callus and organ induction may be a result of genotype or cultural conditions (Franklin et al, 2004;Magioli et al, 1998;Mir et al, 2008;Scoccianti et al, 2000;Sharma, Rajam, 1995). In our case, duration of callus proliferation on cultural media was very important for shoot regeneration.…”

“…A relatively high frequency of callus induction was observed from both the explants in both cultivars and cotyledon was more responsive than hypocotyl in 'LN' than in 'BB'. Previous reports (Franklin et al, 2004;Sharma, Rajam, 1995) on S. melongena show that the type of explants used as callus source and the developmental stage of the seedlings significantly affect callus-and organogenesis. …”

“…It is important to note that the roots are the principal plant material from which drugs are prepared (Sudha and Seeni 2001) and that root culture is an alternative method of both clonal propagation and germplasm conservation (Bernabé-Antonio et al 2010). Additionally, root explants are advantageous over other explants in terms of their easy manipulation and higher degree of regeneration potential (Franklin et al 2004). In the case of plants with sex chromosomes, developing a method of in vitro micropropagation from this type of explants could offer a unique opportunity to obtain true-to-type plants of the same sex, which is essential in cytogenetic research.…”

“…The major type of anthocyanins in purple brinjal is nasunin which is identified as delphinidin-3-(pcoumaroylrutinoside)-5-glucoside [17,18] and the isolated extracts have shown to have a high antioxidant activity [19]. The plant has been successfully regenerated by in vitro culture methods using root [20] and leaf [21] explants and also through somatic embryogenesis [22]. But there have been no attempt to produce pigmented callus from purple brinjal.…”
