TLDR
Zeatin riboside singly or in combination with indole-3-acetic acid resulted in the highest quality, the greatest number of explants with buds/shoots, and the greatest shoot number; and 6-benzylaminopurine and indole
Abstract
The objective of this study was to improve shoot regeneration from grapefruit. Because many commercially grown citrus types are apomictic, important in vitro applications such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation commonly use epicotyl explants from in vitro seedlings; thus, adequate adventitious shoot production is an important prerequisite for efficient use of these applications. Eight plant growth regulators were studied—six cytokinins (6-benzylaminopurine, kinetin, zeatin trans-isomer, 6-[γ,γ-dimethylallylamino] purine, zeatin riboside trans-isomer and meta-topolin) and two auxins (α-naphthalene acetic acid and indole-3-acetic acid). An iterative design strategy was followed that included mixture and mixture-amount experimental designs suitable for resolving proportional and concentration effects; in vitro effects of cytokinins and auxins are affected by both proportion and concentration. One-centimeter-long explants were excised from the epicotyl of etiolated, in vitro-grown seedlings. Explants were placed onto experimental formulations and cultured in growth cabinets at 27°C over 6 wk, which included 2 wk in the dark followed by 4 wk in the light. The results indicated that (1) 6-benzylaminopurine or zeatin riboside were the most effective cytokinins for inducing shoot regeneration in citrus; (2) zeatin riboside singly or in combination with indole-3-acetic acid resulted in the highest quality, the greatest number of explants with buds/shoots, and the greatest shoot number; and (3) 6-benzylaminopurine and indole-3-acetic acid improved shoot regeneration vs. 6-benzylaminopurine at a considerably lesser cost than zeatin riboside and indole-3-acetic acid.

Protoplast isolation and plant regeneration of guava (Psidium guajava L.) using experiments in mixture-amount design

TL;DR: Osmolarity was the primary determinant for protoplast yield and viability, irrespective of osmoticum type and K was more effective than BAP in shoot regeneration, but due to synergistic blending the response was highest when both were present.
