In vitro shoot proliferation of 5-leaf aralia explants from field grown plants and forced dormant stems
1996

A. Sieboldianus (5-leaf aralia) is recalcitrant for micropropagation, but has very good landscaping potential. This research was conducted with the following objectives: (1) to study effects of BA, TDZ, CPPU, 2iP, kinetin and zeatin in woody plant medium on the performance of softwood shoot nodal explants produced by field grown 5-leaf aralia plants; (2) to investigate influences of BA or TDZ in the forcing solution on subsequent in vitro shoot initiation of nodal explants taken from forced softwood growth. Shoot initiation of softwood nodal explants from field-grown plants was promoted by adding BA, TDZ or CPPU to the culture medium. Kinetin, zeatin and 2iP were ineffective for micropropagation of A. Sieboldianus. The forced softwood growth for use as explants was "primed" by forcing dormant stems in solution containing 200 mg 8-HQC per liter plus 2% sucrose, 44.4, 222, or 444 micromolar BA, or 45.4, 227, or 454 micromolar TDZ. BA and TDZ in the forcing solution enhanced subsequent in vitro axillary shoot initiation of nodal explants taken from forced stems by doubling the number of shoots produced per explant to 3.3 from 1.65 shoots per explant taken from field grown plants. This forcing solution technique also reduced the time needed from culture initiation to potted plants to half of the time needed for the conventional micropropagation method (12 to 14 vs. 25 to 27 weeks), thus expediting the micropropagation of A. Sieboldianus.
