Abstract

Sphagneticola calendulacea (L.) Pruski (synonym Wedelia chinensis (Osbeck) Merrill) has great significance in traditional systems of medicine and is popularly known for its hepatoprotective properties. A comprehensive micropropagation technique for its conservation and season-independent, large-scale production was established. Initial culture was established in different basal media [Murashige and Skoog (MS), Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH), Gamborg’s (B5), and Woody Plant medium (WPM)] following a non-toxic, simple, and effective sterilization of ex vitro shoot tip (ST) and nodal segment (NS) explants. MS medium favored the highest rate (∼87.27%) of multiple (∼2.03) shoot bud initiation from NS explants that was further multiplied with supplementation of thidiazuron (TDZ), kinetin, N6-(Δ2-isopentenyl) adenine, or zeatin in combination with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). MS medium containing TDZ (0.2 mg L−1) and NAA (0.05 mg L−1) resulted in the maximum (∼98.82%) response with the highest number (∼33.12) and length (∼6.04 cm) of multiple shoots. The maximum number (∼12.18) and length (∼6.24 cm) of healthy roots per plant was achieved on ½ MS medium plus 1 mg L−1 IAA. In a simple acclimatization process of 6 wk, the survival rate of plantlets cultured in a combination of soil, sand, and vermicompost (1:1:1; v/v/v) was 82.00%. DNA fingerprinting of the in vitro-regenerated plantlets via analysis of random amplification of polymorphic DNA and intersimple sequence repeat markers showed clonal fidelity of the plantlets with the mother plant.
