Pluronic F-68 enhanced shoot regeneration in micropropagated Citrus rootstock and Passiflora species

The promotory effects have been studied of the non-ionic surfactant, Pluronic F-68, on bud induction/shoot regeneration in epicotyl and cotyledon explants of Citrus depressa and on shoot regeneration from leaf segments of 4-6 week-old axenic nodal segment-derived in vitro plants of Passiflora mollissima, P. giberti and P. edulis var. flavicarpa. For epicotyls of C. depressa, supplementation of agar-solidified MS-based bud induction/shoot regeneration medium with 0.5% [w/v] Pluronic F-68 significantly (P < 0.05) increased mean fresh weight gain of cultures, percentage of explants giving shoots and number of shoots per explant. The same Pluronic concentration also enhanced the mean percentage of cotyledons exhibiting bud induction and the number of buds regenerated per cotyledon explant. Fresh weight gain was unaffected across the range of concentrations (0.001-0.5% w/v) of Pluronic F-68 evaluated for this latter explant source. For leaf explants from axenic shoot cultures of P. mollissima, supplementation of NN-based medium, containing 3 mg/l 6-benzyladenine and 2.0 mg/l kinetin with 0.001-0.5% [w/v] Pluronic F-68, significantly (P < 0.05) increased mean (+/- s.e.m.) biomass gain by a maximum of 2.7 +/- 0.1 g fresh weight (g f.wt.) over the control. Similarly, for leaf explants of P. giberti, 0.001-0.5% [w/v] Pluronic F-68 in MS-based medium, containing 1.0 mg/1 6-BAP and 0.5 mg/l kinetin significantly (P < 0.05) increased mean percentage of explants undergoing shoot regeneration. For P. edulis leaf explants, mean f.wt. gain was also significantly (P < 0.05) higher with Pluronic F-68 at 0.001-0.5% [w/v].
