Abstract
An efficient and reproducible protocol for regeneration of plantlets at a high frequency was developed by using sugar cane buds. Disinfected buds were firstly submerged in ethanol sodium hypochlorite solution with 0.1 % polyvinylpyrrolidone, 1.5 % ascorbic acid and 1.75 % citric acid as antioxidants and subsequently treated with solution of agrimicin:captan (1:1). The upper stalk segment was better to obtain bud in vitro culture compared to lower segments. The medium for induction of multiple shoots consisted of Murashige and Skoog basal medium (MS) supplemented with 2 mg dm−3 thidiazuron and 1 mg dm−3 naphthalene acetic acid. An average of 24 shoots per bud was obtained for cv. Mex 68-P23 within four weeks and 29 shoots for cv. MY 55-14 within six weeks. Indole-3-butyric acid induced more roots in both cultivars compared to the untreated plantlets. Plantlets transferred to soil showed normal growth with up to four axilliary buds in each node. It was concluded that the germplasm obtained through the above mentioned technique generated stalks with more buds in each node which would give farmers more vegetative material for plantations in field with 100 % germination.
