Department of Botany, University of Rajshahi, 6205, Rajshahi, Bangladesh.

Published: September 1992

Multiple shoots were obtained from nodal explants of 10-year-old tree of Morus laevigata on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with different concentrations (0.5-5.0 mg.l(-1)) of benzyladenine (BA). Nodal segments taken from in vitro proliferated shoots gave further multiple shoots when cultured on the same basal medium containing 2.5 mg.l(-1) BA. Repeated subculture resulted in rapid shoot multiplication at the average rate of 6-fold per subculture. In vitro raised shoots rooted on MS medium containing 0.1 mg. l(-1) each of 3-indolebutyric acid (ISA) and α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The regenerated plantlets were successfully established in soil under field conditions after a few days of indoor acclimatization.

A two-step freezing cryoprotocol preceded by desiccation to 15 to 25% moisture content was developed and successfully applied to winter dormant buds of mulberry (different spp.) of a core set comprising 238 accessions studies in our laboratory. The survival and recovery percentage of diverse accessions cryobanked for various periods were tested under in vitro conditions, and several factors were analyzed to determine their role in optimizing the recovery of low-viability accessions.
