Regeneration of plants from callus tissue of the pasture legume Centrosema brasilianum

Plants were regenerated from leaf explants of Centrosema brasilianum cultured in vitro. Callus and buds were produced on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS), 0.8% agar, 0.1 mg/l NAA and 1 mg/l BAP. Regeneration of multiple shoots was achieved by transferring callus onto fresh medium containing 0.01 and...

Description
Summary:Plants were regenerated from leaf explants of Centrosema brasilianum cultured in vitro. Callus and buds were produced on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS), 0.8% agar, 0.1 mg/l NAA and 1 mg/l BAP. Regeneration of multiple shoots was achieved by transferring callus onto fresh medium containing 0.01 and 1 mg/l of NAA and BAP, respectively. Shoots formed roots upon transfer to MS with 0.01 mg/l NAA. Plantlets were succesfully transferred to soil. Leaf-derived calli of Centrosema arenarium, C. macrocarpum, C. pascuorum, C. pubescens, and C. virginianum did not produce shoots when cultured in vitro.
