Abstract

In vitro culture of cotyledonary node (cn)explants, decapitated and intact seedlings of four different AsiaticVigna species (germinated and subcultured in MS-B5 mediumwith 1.0 mg l−1 BA) resulted in axillaryshoot formation only from the epigeal V. radiata and thehypogeal but allotetraploid V. glabrescens. The hypogealspecies V. angularis and V. umbellatafailed to exhibit this response. Shoot decapitation invivopromoted similar response only in V. radiata, indicatingthat in vitro culture in BA-supplemented medium isrequiredby V. glabrescens to achieve the same response.Histological observations of the cn explants from 4-d-oldin-vitro-germinated seedlings at d 0(inoculation day), d 4 and d 8 (after inoculation) revealed the formation ofprimary axillary shoots (pas) in both V. radiata andV. glabrescens. Secondary axillary branching at the baseofthe pas was observed at 8 d. Further examination by scanningelectron microscope (SEM) confirmed the presence of shoot buds enveloped by atleast two leaf primordia in the explants at d 0 in all epigeal species namelyV. radiata, V. mungo and V.aconitifolia together with the hypogeal but allotetraploidV. glabrescens. Consistently, these structures were absentin V. angularis and V. umbellata.Present histological and SEM observations support the previous findings ofAvenido and Hattori (Plant Cell Tissue Organ Cult, 1999) that the induction ornon-induction of shoots directly from the nodes of invitro-cultured cn explants is a new marker corresponding to thegenomic grouping within the Asiatic Vigna species. Basedonhybridization studies, Dana (Breeding Methods for Improvement of Crops, 1980)designates AA, A1A1 and A1A1/- toall epigeal, hypogeal and the hypogeal but allotetraploid AsiaticVigna species, respectively. Moreover, these findingsproved that the differential in vitro regenerationresponse(i.e., response to BA) arises from inherent anatomical and developmentaldifferences, and is supportive of the genomic grouping within subgenusCeratotropis of the genus vigna.
