Abstract:
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is one of the oldest known fruit crops of the tropics and subtropics. It is regenerated through tissue culture directly by axillary bud or by callus mediated adventitious bud proliferation. But both the methods have pros and cons. The choice of the method specifically depends upon purpose, quality, economy, potency, and duration of the protocol. Keeping these facts in view, the present studies were carried out to optimize the protocol for rapid and efficient in vitro regeneration of Pomegranate cv. Baghwa. In axillary bud proliferation different explants, duration of mercuric chloride treatment, antioxidants and growth regulators were tried for improvising aseptic culture establishment. Among the various treatments, surface sterilization of double nodal explants containing IIIrd + IVth nodes with HgCl2 0.10 % for 3 minutes resulted in significantly better aseptic culture establishment (55 % aseptic culture, 15 % each bacterial contamination, fungal contamination and phytotoxicity) onto MS medium containing BAP 1 mg/l + AgNO3 1 mg/l + activated charcoal 2000 mg/l. Superior shoot proliferation (5 number of shoots/explants, 4.97 cm length of shoot and 18.23 number of leaves/shoot) was found onto the MS medium containing ancymidol 0.02 mg/l + AgNO3 1 mg/l + activated charcoal 500 mg/l. Among the various media combination, effective rooting (22 number of days taken for rooting, 48 % rooting, 4.30 cm length of roots and 5.50 number of roots/shoot) was observed on half strength MS medium supplemented with IBA 2 mg/l +AgNO3 1 mg/l + activated charcoal 200 mg/l. Callus was induced with exogenous application of plant growth regulators for adventitious bud proliferation. The nodal segment was found superior for induction of callus (++++: Very good) when cultured on MS basal medium consisting of BAP 5 mg/l + NAA0.4 mg/l. Early shoot initiation (17.06 days), a greater number of shoots per explant (8.13) and maximum shoot length (7.32 cm) was noticed when proliferated calli were cultured on MS basal medium containing BAP 2 mg/l + NAA 0.1mg/l + GA3 0.5 mg/l. Early in vitro root initiation (20.25 days), highest per cent rooting (72.50) and maximum number of roots per plantlet (3.95) were recorded on full strength MS medium supplemented with IBA 3 mg/l.
