Highly efficient shoot regeneration of Bacopa monnieri (L.) using a two-stage culture procedure and assessment of genetic integrity of micropropagated plants by RAPD
A two-stage culture procedure has been developed for highly efficient shoot regeneration from leaf and internode explants of Bacopa monnieri. Adventitious shoot buds were obtained on the shoot induction medium containing Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) basal salt supplemented with 1.5 mg/l thidiazuron and 0.5 mg/l naphthalene acetic acid; these shoot buds were subcultured on the multiplication (second) medium amended with BAP (benzyl amino purine). Multiplication medium containing 0.5 mg/l BAP produced more shoots (135) and longer shoots (7.8 cm) with more nodes (6). Best response of root induction with more number of roots (16.5) and longer roots (8.7 cm) was observed in half strength MS basal medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) and 0.5 mg/l phloroglucinol. In vitro obtained plants were transferred to the field after hardening with a 100% survival rate. Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis was carried out using five random primers. The amplification products were monomorphic in micropropagated plants and similar to those of mother plant. No polymorphism was detected revealing the genetic integrity of micropropagated plants.
