In vitro Regeneration of Oil Yielding Plants-A Review
2015
Baghel, Sapna | Bansal, Yogendra Kumar
Micropropagation of different oil yielding plants has played a very important role in rapid multiplication of cultivars with desirable traits and production of healthy and disease-free plants with good oil yield. During the last several years, different strategies have been carried out for in vitro propagation of different oil yielding plants. The objective of this review is depiction of different plants that producing biodiesel to fulfil the demand of fossil fuel. The plants reported are promising biofuel and bioenergy crops possessing high biomass and oil quality. Micropropagation through apical and axillary shoot proliferation, while adventitious shoot proliferation from leaf, internode and zygotic embryos explants, or both, has been successful and influenced by several internal and external factors viz. Genotypes/ Cultivars, Media, Carbohydrates, Form of medium, Growth regulators, Light, Temperature, Relative humidity specific need during stages of micropropagation like establishment of in vitro cultures, shoot multiplication, rooting of in vitro regenerated shoots and acclimatization are discussed in the present review. On the whole rapid regeneration and multiplication through organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis is discussed in this review.
