An efficient in vitro micropropagation protocol from shoot tip explants was established for Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers. Young and mature shoot tip (YST and MST, respectively) explants from two different-aged plant sources (15 d and 3 yr) were treated simultaneously to develop and compare their efficacy in the micropropagation protocol. Among the cytokinins and synergetic treatments, 6-benzyladenine (BA; 2.0 mg/L) and kinetin (KN; 1.0 mg/L) responded better in bud break and shoot development, at both individual concentrations and in combination. Addition of the auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA; 0.5 mg/L) to the optimal cytokinin concentrations of BA (2.0 mg/L) with KN (1.0 mg/L), enhanced multiple shoot induction and shoot growth. Further supplementation of gibberellic acid (0.1 mg/L) and an antioxidant (ascorbic acid at 100 mg/L) significantly enhanced the shoot bud induction, shoot number and shoot length. Assessment of different basal media using the best plant growth hormone complex confirmed that the Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium best supported shoot bud break and shoot development in both the shoot tip explants. The best rooting response was from half-strength MS medium fortified with indole-3butyric acid (0.5 mg/L), resulting in approximately 80% of the plantlets successfully acclimatized both at in vitro and in vivo conditions. In conclusion, the YST explants responded better than the MST explants in all aspects of growth and development and proved that the age of explants was an important determinant for efficient micropropagation in T. cordifolia.

Brachystelma glabrum Hook.f. is an endemic plant species of Eastern Ghats, India. In this study, efficient protocols for in vitro micropropagation, flowering, and tuberization of this plant were developed. Sterilized shoot tip and nodal explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different plant growth regulators (PGRs) and additives for shoot induction and multiplication. Both shoot tip and nodal explants showed the best response (90 and 100%, respectively) on MS medium supplemented with thidiazuron (TDZ) at 1.0 mg L−1. The microshoots multiplied best on MS + TDZ (1.0 mg L−1) in combination with α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at 0.5 mg L−1 and coconut water (CW) at 25%. The highest number of in vitro flowers (4.0 flowers per microshoot) was observed on MS medium supplemented with a combination of N6-benzyladenine (BA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), each at 1.5 mg L−1. In vitro-derived shoots produced aerial tubers on MS + TDZ (2.0 mg L−1) + IBA (0.5 mg L−1) and basal tubers on MS + TDZ at 2.0 mg L−1. In vitro shoots were best rooted on half-strength (½) MS + NAA at 0.5 mg L−1. The rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized in pots with 70% survival after a hardening period of 1 mo. This protocol provides an effective method for the conservation of this endemic plant species.
