In vitro plant regeneration in Melia azedarach L.
TLDR
Nodal explants of 3- 6-week-old seedlings cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 6-benzyladenine (BA) produced multiple shoots which resulted in plantlets which were successfully established in soil.Abstract:
Nodal explants of 3- 6-week-old seedlings cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6-benzyladenine (BA) (17.75 μM) produced multiple shoots. Shoots were isolated and induced to root on 1/2-strength MS medium supplemented with indole-3-butyric acid (4.92 μM). In-vitro-rooted shoots resumed growth after a short period of acclimatization and resulted in plantlets which were successfully established in soil. In vitro flowering was observed in some of the nodal explants in the above medium, and also in cotyledonary leaves and internodal explants on MS medium supplemented with a combination of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (0.06 μM)+BA (4.44 μM) and IAA (0.06 μM)+kinetin (4.65 μM).read more

Callus induction and plantlet regeneration in withania somnifera (l.) dunal
TL;DR: Callus induction was observed from hypocotyl, root, and cotyledonary leaf segments, grown on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with various concentrations and combinations of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and kinetin (KN).

Rapid in vitro multiplication of Melia azedarach L. (a multipurpose woody tree)
Mohd Kashif Husain,Mohammad Anis +1 more
TL;DR: An efficient regeneration protocol for rapid multiplication of Melia azedarach, an economically as well as medicinally important timber-yielding tree, was developed and nearly 90% of the culture exhibited axillary bud sprouting and multiple shoot formation from nodal segments derived from 20-year-old candidate plus tree.

Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from immature zygotic embryos of Melia azedarach (Meliaceae)
TL;DR: A large number of plants were regenerated from somatic embryos and successfully established in soil in a greenhouse, which may be beneficial for mass propagation as well as for genetic manipulation of the ‘paradise tree’.

Micropropagation of Sterculia urens Roxb., an endangered tree species from intact seedlings
TL;DR: An efficient and reproducible procedure for the large scale propagation of Sterculia urens is described and the shoot forming capacity of seeds was influenced by the cytokinin type and concentration in the medium.

Effect of Melia azedarach extract on larval development and reproduction parameters of Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) and Agrotis ipsilon (Hufn.) (Lep. Noctuidae).
TL;DR: In both insects food consumption, weight gain and conversion of ingested food (ECI) in body matter decreased with increasing extract amounts, and the conversion of digested food (ECD) was lowered gradually by using higher concentrations ofMelia extract.
