5. 1. INTRODUCTION
• Caladium was discovered in the 19th century growing wild in Amazon Basin South
America. (
• Caladium are of great importance due to their indoor and outdoor decorative value.
• Caladium are mostly used in vertical gardening.
• Caladium is large genus of ornamental plant in the Araceae family.
• Caladium also cultivated as House plant.
• Conventional propagation of Caladium bicolor through tuber cutting and
seed germination is slow and inconsistent with the demand
• The pollen and the inflorescence both have short lives, which means a large
collection of Caladium bicolor is necessary if cross breeding is to be done
successfully.
6. Classification of Caladium:
Kingdom Plantae
Division Angiosperms
Class Monocots
Order Alismatales
Family Araceae
Subfamily Aroideae
Genus Caladium vent
Species Caladium
Plate 1: Caladium bicolor plant
7. 2. OBJECTIVE
1. To identify a suitable hormonal combination for in vitro
regeneration.
8. • The qualitative and quantitative development
of plants.
• Conventional propagation of Caladium with
tuber and seed is slow inconsistent with
demand.
• Micro propagation is the best option to solve
this problem by providing consistent quality
plant.
3. PROJECT SIGNIFICANCE
9. Yazawa et al., (2003): Leaf explants of Caladium ‘Pink Cloud’ were cultured in vitro on MS medium
containing various auxins (NAA, IBA, IAA, 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D) in combination with cytokinin (BA).
NAA gave the most vigorous in vitro propagation of this plant, and only 15% of the plants were leaf-
colour variants on the medium containing 0.5mol NAA. Leaf colour variation was observed in all plants
regenerated on the medium containing 2,4-D at 0.5 4.5mol. In hormone-free medium, only a few leaf-
colour variants (6%) occurred, but the rate of plant regeneration was very low. Application of 0.5mol
NAA together with 4.5mol BA seemed to be the most appropriate for in vitro propagation of
Caladium‘Pink Cloud’ with only a few leaf-colour variants.
Ali et al., (2007): Rapid propagation of Caladium bicolor was achieved in vitro. Excellent results for shoot
induction from apical meristem were obtained when it was cultured on MS medium containing 1 mg L-1BAP
within 8 days of inoculation. For shoot multiplication maximum number of shoots was obtained when 0.25 mg
L-1NAA was added to shoot induction medium i.e., MS medium supplemented with 1 mg L-1BAP + 0.25 mg L-
1NAA. Cent percent rooting was achieved by transferring an individual microshoot to modified MS medium
containing combination of 2 mg L-1IBA + 1 mg L-1NAA.
Benega et al., (2007): established this protocol, in vitro shoots developed from petioles cultured on a semi-solid
medium were used as starting materials. When using temporary immersion the multiplication rate was more than
12 times higher than under a conventional propagation system after 45 days. The highest multiplication rate was
found when explants were cultured in sprouting medium (MS + 2.0 mg/l 6-BAP) in the temporary immersion
system for four weeks. The highest number of competent (i.e. ready for acclimatization) and uniform plants was
achieved when bud clusters were subcultured for four weeks on MS medium without plant growth regulators.
Plantlets could be effectively acclimatized (92%) on a 1:1 zeolite : sugarcane filter (i.e. derived from the sugar
milling process) substrate.
4. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
10. Shah et al., (2007): Different planting media had enormous effect on various growth parameters.
Maximum number of sprouts (5.7), number of leaves (17.8), leaf length (36.0 cm), lamina area (521.3
cm2), plant height (57.8 cm), number of tubers (4.8), tuber size/volume (55.2 cm3) and tuber weight
(53.8g) were noted in SMC. Control (soil + silt + FYM at 1:1:1 ratio), produced minimum values for the
mentioned parameters. In case of cultivars, cv. Calypso performed better in number of sprouts (5.7),
numbers of leaves (19.4), leaf length (37.4 cm), lamina area (595.7 cm2), plant height (64.4 cm), while
minimum number of sprouts (2.0), number of leaves (8.8), leaf length (22.1 cm), lamina area (196.9
cm2), number of tubers (1.6), tuber size (29.2 ml) and minimum tuber weight (32.0 g) was recorded for
cv. Gypsy Rose. Maximum tuber size (57.6 cm3) and tuber weight (56.7 g) was recorded in cv. White
Christmas, while maximum number of tubers (4.2) was noted in cv. Fannie Monsoon. The interaction
between media and cultivars was found non significant for all the parameters.
Maqsood et al., (2015): An efficient somatic embryo encapsulation and in vitro plant regeneration technique
were established with Caladium bicolor, an important ornamental plant. Tuber derived embryogenic callus
(95.50%) was obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium amended with 0.5 mg L-1 α-Naphthalene acetic
acid (NAA) + 0.5 mg L-1 6-Benzyladenine (BA). The embryogenic callus later differentiated into somatic
embryos in the same plant growth regulators (PGRs) added medium (NAA and BA). The induced embryos
matured and developed into plantlets in NAA and BA added media; maximum plantlets development was
observed at 1.0 mg L-1 NAA + 1.0 mg L-1 BA supplemented medium. Synthetic seeds were produced by
encapsulating embryos in gel containing 3.0% sucrose + 3.0% sodium alginate and 100 mM of calcium chloride.
The highest synthetic seed germination (97.6%) was observed on medium supplemented with 1.0 mg L-1 NAA
+ 1.0 mg L-1 BA.
Seydi et al., (2016): Leaf explants Caladium bicolor (Aiton) Vent., were cultured in vitro on MS media
supplemented with 25 different concentrations of BAP and NAA in order to determine the appropriate con-
centrations for micropropagation. All combinations induced callus formation on explants. Callus production on
leaves explants grown on control medium was very low. The medium enriched with 4 mg l-1 BAP + 0.5 mg l-1
NAA was the most effective for callus formation. The highest number of shoots (6.43 per explant) and roots
(5.56 per explant) were regenerated on media containing 1 mg l-1 BAP + 0.5 mg l-1 NAA and 3 mg l-1 BAP +
0.5 mg l-1NAA, respectively. The regenerated plantlets were grown in a greenhouse and acclimatized
successfully.

36. Primary Hardening
• The well rooted caladium plantlets
were removed gently from the culture
bottles after four weeks of rooting.
• Then washed thoroughly with
running tap water to remove all the
traces of the adhering agar
• After that the plantlets were
transplanted in 4 cm diameter small
polythene cup tray filled with coco
peat and soil (1:1).
37. Initiation
i. Initiation of explants tuber segments were used on MS medium with
different concentration of BAP (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mg/l) for shoot
initiation.
ii. Out of all these concentrations BAP (0.5 mg/l) gave best shoot
initiation. Ahmed et al., (2002) .
iii. MS medium containing BAP (0.5 mg/l) provided best result from
tuber segment explants .
iv. The highest survival percentage 90% and average number of shoots
per explants (7.75 ± 0.47) and average length of shoots (6.1 ± 0.2 cm)
was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BAP .
Outcomes
38. Multiplication
i. MS medium with combination of BAP (0.5 mg/l) were used for shoot
multiplication.
ii. In this treatment BAP showed excellent length for shoot
multiplication and highest survival percentage (90%).
iii. The average number of shoots per explants (11.66 ± 0.37) and best
average shoot length (6.0 ± 0.47 cm) was observed on MS Medium
supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BAP .
iv. Ahamd et al., (2002) also reported that multiple shoots from tuber
segments was the highest in MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l
BAP.
39. Rooting
i. The best rooting response was observed on medium
containing 0.5 mg/l IBA showed highest average root
length (1.7 ± 0.2 cm).
ii. It showed highest average number of roots per explant
(6.6 ± 0.50) as compared to medium supplemented with
0.5 mg/l IBA.
iii. The highest survival percentage 90% was observed when
medium was supplemented with 0.5 mg/l IBA (Table 4.3).
iv. Ali et al.,(2007) also reported that the maximum root
induction (100%) was observed on medium
supplemented with 0.5 mg/l IBA.
40. Primary hardening
• The well rooted plantlets were transferred to
seedling tray containing cocopeat and soil (1:1)
mixture.
• The same mixture also used by Cooper et al, (1983)
for primary hardening.
41. • After four weeks of initiation, maximum number of shoots
were obtained in medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BAP.
and the highest survival percentage 95% was obtained when
the MS medium was supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BAP.
• The highest number of roots per explant as well as the
highest root length was recorded on medium containing 0.5
mg/l IBA
• The effect of hormone like BAP gave better response in
shoot multiplication and IBA hormone show highest root
number in rooting growth.
7. Summary
42. Conclusion:-
• Caladium is sweet herb and an important ornamental plant, but is
avilability less due to its infertile and small size seed.
• The method of vegetative propagation are not efficient to save this rare
plant.
• The production of large number of caladium plants were possible through
in vitro propagation techniques.
• In caladium bicolor MS medium containing 0.5 mg/l BAP was the best
for culture initiation.
• In caladium bicolor MS medium containing 0.5 mg/l BAP was suitable
for shoot multiplication and it shows best shooting response.
• IBA has been widely used as root induction hormone and showed
positive role during in vitro rooting. In caladium 0.5 mg/l IBA showed to
be the best for in vitro rooting.

1. Introduction
Plant tissue culture technology has been globally accepted as one of the important
tools for Direct application in agriculture. It has a strong and positive influence on
the agricultural sector worldwide.
The main advantage of tissue culture technology lies in the production of high
quality and Uniform planting material.
The demand for micropropagated plants in agriculture, horticulture and in social
forestry is growing now a day. There is a large gap between the demand and
supply. There is a need for boosting the youths in setting up additional units and
training manpower and supply plants with more competitive prices for improving
productivity.
