Abstract


An effective and reliable in vitro plant regeneration method has been established for Adinandra griffithii Dyer., a critically endangered species which is endemic to Northeast India. This study presents the first successful micropropagation protocol for the Pentaphylaceae family in India. The axenic cultures were established through in vitro seed germination. Seeds inoculated in Woody Plant Medium showed better germination percentage (94%) compared to the seeds inoculated in Murashige and Skoog Medium (66.8%) with an average number of 9.4 ± 0.21a seeds in WPM and 6.68 ± 0.18b seeds in MS Medium. The highest shoot proliferation of 8.0 ± 0.26a shoots per explant with 2.59 ± 0.06a cm mean shoot length was recorded in WPM supplemented with 6-BAP at 6 mg L-1. The best results for in vitro rooting were obtained from WPM augmented with IBA at 1 mg L-1 where 14.5 ± 0.72a roots per shoot were formed with an average root length of 1.27 ± 0.07a cm. The in vitro raised plants were successfully acclimatized in greenhouse and transferred to field with 70% survival rate. The healthy acclimatized plants were reintroduced in different Northeastern states like Meghalaya and Nagaland. The protocol developed is beneficial for ex situ conservation of germplasm and mass production of A. griffithii plants.
