This document summarizes a study that analyzed genetic variation in Anthurium andreanum plantlets multiplied through in vitro culture. Seeds were germinated and a single plantlet was cultured on MS medium supplemented with hormones and used as the mother plant. Shoots were transferred to four media including MS medium and proliferated over 10 cycles. RAPD analysis found the mother plant was genetically identical to plantlets in some media but unique band patterns in others indicated mutations, showing in vitro culture induced genetic variability compared to the original mother plant.
Detection of Genetic variation in tissue culture clones of date palm using IS...IJSRD
Date palm is a plant having high nutritional value and long life (yielding up to 100 years). Phoenix dactylifera requires 2-5 males for pollination of 100 females’ plant depending up on genetic and environment factors. Therefore paternity variation expected to very low according to PCR based techniques, Even though we have tried to find out genetic variation among tissue culture cloned plant. Tissue culture technique can be used for genetic improvement of date palm. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the genetic variation in the tissue culture clones of date palm by using ISSR primers among mother and it’s two clones. The plant DNA was extracted and subjected to detection of genetic variation in two groups of date palm using ISSR primers. In this study ISSR primers produced monomorphic bands within group-1 and group-2. Genetic variation in tissue culture clones of date palm was not detecte by UBC primer series.

Phylotype Analysis of Ralstonia Solanacearum Causing Bacterial wilt in Eggpla...ijtsrd
Eggplant is prone to attack by several pests including bacteria, fungi, nematodes and insects. In this study, we have analyzed phylotype of bacterial wilt Ralstonia solanacearum infection in eggplant plants collected from Bhubaneswar Orissa in India. Bacterial wilt symptomatic five plant samples were collected from brinjal field in Bhubaneswar in 2016. The samples were macerated in sterile distilled water and grown on Kelman's triphenyltetrazolium chloride TZC agar media. Total genomic DNA of the bacterium were extracted and subjected to PCR amplification using the R. solanacearum specific universal primer pair 759 760. An expected single 280 bp fragment amplified in all the samples confirmed the identity of these as Ralstonia. To reconfirmed isolate of bacterium, the amplicon was sequenced in sequencer. In NCBI blast, the nucleotide sequence was 100 similar with Ralstonia solanacearum strain RS lpxC DOB 1 AB910593 and the sequence was submitted in NCBI database under Acc. No. KY393266. To determined phylotype of strain used specific multiplex PCR with phylotype specific primers Nmult 21F1 2, Nmult 22InF, Nmult 23AF, Nmult 22RR revealed that all the five infected samples belonged to phylotype I as a 144 bp amplicon were observed in agarose gel. On the basis of above finding concluded that the bacterial wilt infected eggplant collected from Bhubaneswar was Ralostonia solanacearum, Phylotype I.

Among free-living microorganisms, which can be practically used in agriculture, bacteria from the Azospirillum genus as well as other endophytes are nowadays thought of as the most active component of associative dinitrogen fixation. The investigation was carried out to study the characterization of Azospirillum lipoferu found in the soils of the ten agro-climatic zones which Karnataka, is classified. By using RAPD markers, 75 bands were scored out of which 78.6 % were found to be polymorphic. Statistical analysis of RAPD data enabled the classification of 10 Azospirillum isolates into two major groups. . In this, the cluster analysis based on 75 RAPD bands revealed that the ten A. lipoferu isolates examined clustered at a linkage distance of about 40 units on the dendrogram. There was no correlation between RAPD and geographical origin of isolates.
In vitro tuberization and colchicine content analysis of Gloriosa superba L.Nagendra Worlds
Gloriosa superba L. is an herbaceous climber distributed in tropical parts of the
world. Pharmaceutically important alkaloid-colchicine, present in its tubers and
seeds and due to overexploitation it becomes vulnerable in the forests. In the
present investigation, in vitro tuber production was carried out for its propagation
and conservation. The plant possesses a very strong apical dominance.
Consequently, any damage to the plant apical meristem is fatal for it which was also
exhibited during in vitro culture. Only apical meristems were able to produce a
single and un-branched shoots and nodal explants were remained dormant even in
the presence of exogenous cytokinin. The in vitro propagation was accomplished
by the microtuber formation technique, in two steps. Maximum number of
microtubers 9.8±0.8 per culture in eight weeks, were produced in vitro on
Murashige and Skoog medium with sucrose (60 g LG1) and in the presence
of 35.5 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA) with citric acid and polyvinyl pyrrolidone-40.
Subsequently the induced microtubers were sub-cultured on to the medium with
lower cytokinin level, 8.88 μM BA. The individual microtubers with shoots were
subjected to a single step rooting and in vitro acclimatization in coco-pit containing
vessels, exhibited 90% survival. In vitro grown tubers contained less percentage of
colchicine than the natural field-grown plant tubers. However, microtubers showed
increased colchicine content, as they grow older.

To Study the Genomic Fingerprinting of Relatedness in Strains of Bacillus Sp....ijtsrd
The aim of the present investigation was to study the genomic adaptation of Bacillus sp. isolated from chromium contaminated environment and normal environment. For this purpose ten highly chromium resistant Bacillus sp. CSB-1 to10 and ten normal Bacillus sp. NB-1 to 10 were isolated from soil samples collected from mine and its adjacent areas of Sukinda, Odisha. The genomic DNA was isolated from 20 Bacillus species and made free from contamination of RNA by RNAase treatment. The molecular weight of DNA from 20 Bacillus species were determined by comparing with DNA . The genomic variation study of 10 chromium resistant and 10 normal strains of Bacillus was done by RAPD analysis. Among the 10 primers used only two OPT 01 and OPT 05 gave the amplification. OPT 01 primer gave lesser bands in normal Bacillus species than those obtained in chromium resistant Bacillus species. The presence of those DNA fragment band in chromium resistant Bacillus can be used as a molecular marker to identify chromium resistant Bacillus from normal Bacillus. These chromium resistant Bacillus species after further assessment of their potential to reduce the toxic hexavalent form to its nontoxic trivalent form can be exploited for the bioremediation of toxic and carcinogenic soluble hexavalent chromium containing industrial effluents.

Assessment of genetic fidelity of in vitro propagated clones of Celastrus pan...iosrjce
Celastrus paniculatus Willd belonging to the family Celastaceae is an endangered Indian medicinal
plant having high pharmaceutical application. The objective of the present investigation was to assess the the
clonal fidelity of in vitro propagated clones of Celastrus paniculatus with the field grown mother plant to
confirm their true to type nature. Micropropagation is an alternative method for the large scale production of
endangered medicinal plants. The genetic stability of in vitro raised clones of celastrus paniculatus were
assessed by using RAPD analysis. Genomic DNA was isolated from healthy and fresh leaves of both mother
plant and in vitro raised plants of Celastrus paniculatus by using CTAB method. Based on the reproducibility of
the primers, 15 RAPD primers were selected for the present investigation. The selected primers gave rise to a
total of 75 scorable bands with an average of 5.1 bands ranging from 300-2700 bp. The number of bands varied
from three (OPQ-07, OPA-13) to seven (OPC-20, OPN-16). Randomly selected 10 micropropagated plants
from each culture period was used. Amplification pattern was electrophoresed in 1.5% TBE, revealing that all
the bands produced by micropropagated plants were monomorphic and similar to that of the field grown plant.
No polymorphism was detected by RAPD analysis.
Characterisation of some Ribes L. accessions from Turkey based on SSRs patternsAgriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— The variability of SSRs patterns were analysed for taxonomical delimitations including intra specific variations in 7 Ribes alpinum, 2 Ribes bieberstenii and 1 Ribes uva-crispa accessions from their natural populations. The total amplified produces of 10 SSRs primers were 172 between 50 and 330 bp (average of 17.2 bands per primer), of which 157 bands were polymorphic between Ribes accessions, corresponding to 91.2 % genetic diversity. The number of bands for each SSRs primer varied from 6 to 32. Segregations of Ribes accessions at specific and intraspecific levels were accomplished showing taxonomical and phylogeographical relations. Obtained results can be used as complementary data in characterizations of Ribes gene pool in Anatolia and selection of the germplasms suitable for crop improving.

Molecular Diversity Analysis of Some Local Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Genot...AI Publications
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) rhizomes have been widely used as a spice and flavoring agent in foods and beverages in Bangladesh as well as in all over the world for its economical and medicinal values. The present investigation was undertaken for the assessment of 13 local ginger genotypes collected from different region of Bangladesh through 7 RAPD primers. Genomic DNA was extracted from ginger genotypes using CTAB method. A total of 34 distinct and differential amplification bands ranging from 150-1200 bp were observed with an average of 1.14 polymorphic bands per primer. The overall gene diversity was detected 0.8052 and the value of PIC was detected 0.7532. The RAPD marker generate enough polymorphism for possible use in diversity studies through cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). PCA classified 13 ginger genotypes into four groups and showed in two dimensional scatter plot. The genetic similarity coefficients among genotypes ranged from 0.103 to 0.654. Cluster analysis based on Jaccard’s similarity-coefficient using UPGMA grouped the genotypes into two clusters: Cluster A and Cluster B. The cluster ‘A’ had only one genotype Kaptai local and the second cluster ‘B’ had rest of twelve genotypes. The prevalence level of polymorphism in the local genotypes of ginger will help to breeders for ginger improvement program.
In vitro mutagenesis of Cymbidium La bell “Anna Belle” by γ-rays irradiation ...IJEAB
The optimum media for multiplication of protocorm like bodies (PLBs) and shoot buds of Cymbidium La bell “Anna Belle” were studied in order to prepare the in vitro samples for irradiation. The values of LD50 (lethal dose of 50% samples) of PLBs, shoot buds and plantlets of tested Cymbidium after cultivation of 4 months were also determined about 35.0, 41.0 and 83.1 Gy, respectively. The addition of oligochitosan played as an very important trigger for promotion on the generation of shoot bud from PLBs after irradiation. The in vitro variations have been generated by γ-rays irradiation of PLBs with doses in range of 20 - 50 Gy. The highest mutant frequency (3.83‰) of C. La bell was found by the irradiation of PLB samples at 30 Gy. The different properties of obtained in vitro variations compared to wild types were found to be chlorophyll, short leaves, long leaves, and violet pericardium variations. The genetic relationships among generated variant lines in M1V4 and wild type were analyzed using RAPD techniques.
Callus Induction and Plantlet Regeneration in Orthosiphon aristatus (Blume) M...IOSR Journals
An efficient protocol was devised for rapid callus induction and plantlet regeneration from the leaves of Orthosiphon aristatus. For callus induction, auxins such as 2, 4-D, IAA, NAA alone and in combination with cytokinin BAP were used. The most effective medium for callus induction and shoot regeneration was M S medium fortified with 8mg/l BAP and 2mg/l NAA, on which multiple shoots were obtained after 15 days of callus induction. All the in vitro raised shoots with length of 3-5 cm were transferred to rooting medium supplemented with different concentrations of IBA. The best rooting response was observed on half strength M S liquid medium supplemented with 3mg/l IBA. The established plantlets obtained were subjected to hardening and acclimatisation by transferring to polycups containing sterile soil for 3-4 weeks and then to the field, where
85% survived to maturity

In vitro callus induction of Melothria purpusilla, a traditional medicinal pl...IJERA Editor
Melothria purpusilla, a member of Cucurbitaceae, is an endemic species found in North-Eastern part of India.
The plant is used traditionally by the people of Manipur in the treatment of jaundice and its roots in fever and
diarrhoea. Tissue culture of medicinal plants was performed as a measure for the conservation of endangered
medicinal plants, Melothria perpusilla. Morphogenetic changes were observed in Melothria perpusilla
explants in the MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of PGRs. Different colours of callus
formation were observed in MS supplemented with BAP, kinetin and IBA. The best callus induction was
observed with MS media supplemented with combination of 1BAP mg/l + 1 IBA mg/l and combination of
1Kinetin mg/l + 1 IBA mg/l.
Dioscorea rotundata is a staple food crop for millions of people in the tropical and subtropical regions. In vitro germplasm conservation is a very useful tool in yam improvement strategies but very little is known about the genetic integrity and stability of in-vitro conserved yam plants. In this study, 42 accessions from in vitro and field populations were genotyped using 11 microsatellite markers and 23 morphological descriptors to assess variability within and between accessions. Out of the 23 morphological variables used, 13 were identified as most discriminate and were used to cluster the accessions into 4 clusters using the unweighted pair group arithmetic mean average (UPGMA). Accession maintained in field as well as in in-vitro showed high genetic similarity (R2 = 0.91, p-value: 1e-04). Out of the 42 accessions analyzed, nine accessions maintained in the field and in-vitro displayed different genetic profiles. This study provided basic information on the possible somaclonal variation of yam accessions maintained through in-vitro. Further study with advanced tools such as next-generation sequencing is required to elucidate the nature of the observed variation within clones.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

Abstract: The seeds of Anthurium andreanum bicolour var agnihotri were made to germinate in Murashige
and Skoog medium. A single good plantlet developed was further taken as explants and cultured in Murashige
and Skoog medium supplemented with 2 mg/L of 6-Benzylaminopurine and 0.5 mg/L of naphthaleneacetic acid
hormone concentrations. After 30 days the plantlets were transferred to fresh Murashige and Skoog medium
with increases in hormone concentration with 4mg/L of 6-benzylaminopurine and 2mg/L- of naphthaleneacetic
acid. The proliferated plantlets were maintained in this medium for 90 days. The concentration proved excellent
proliferation of shoots in the plantlets. The multiple shoots obtained were transferred to four different media.
Murashige and Skoog without hormones, Murashige and Skoog medium with hormone concentration of 4 mg/L
6-benzylaminopurine and 2mg/L- naphthaleneacetic acid, Scheck and Hildebrandt and Hildebrandt et al media
was selected for and the plantlets was subcultured for ten cycles. Among these Scheck and Hildebrandt medium
showed good response of multiplication. It is noted that the multiplications of shoots that were continued in the
Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 4 mg/L of 6-benzylaminopurine and 2mg/L of
naphthaleneacetic acid for 10 cycles showed further good proliferations. The plantlets from the four media
concentrations and the plantlet chosen as explant were subjected to RAPD analysis to study any genetic
variability. The plantlets cultured in the Murashige and Skoog medium supplement with4 mg/L 6-
benzylaminopurine and 2mg/L naphthaleneacetic acid indicated good variation in the band pattern, inferring
that the plantlets have undergone mutation.
Keywords- Anthurium andreanum, RAPD, in vitro.
I. Introduction
Anthurium andreanum bicolor variety agnihotri with large brightly coloured spathe is one of the many
hybrids which are cultivated as ornamental and for cut flowers. It has a combination of blood red and grass
green coloured spathe. Though Anthuriums are cultivated through vegetative method, the regeneration capacity
was found to be less among some of the hybrids. This property was investigated by earlier workers and they
developed regenerative method through tissue culture technique. The present investigation aims at multiplying
the plantlets through in vitro techniques and generate variations. The variations that have been generated in
plantlets can be studied through molecular techniques. In recent years a lot of attention is given to cost effective
in vitro techniques and production of plantlets. Variations through in vitro techniques can give rise to
horticulturally important varieties.
The RAPD analysis can be done within single species (Williams et al., 1990; Welsh and McClelland,
1990). Diversity within-population and between-population can be assessed (J M Deragon and B S Landry).
This technique also holds an additional advantage of not necessarily knowing the DNA sequences to carry out
the analysis. PCR based RAPD markers have been previously used to assess the genetic variations in anthurium
plants by measuring the genetic diversity within the different species (P Nowbuth et al 2005).
Variations are needed for differentiating the characters of importance and hence it is necessary to detect
and document the amount of variation existing within and between populations. DNA marker based
fingerprinting uses small amounts of DNA to distinguish variations between species which in turn provides
reliable information on their phylogenetic relationships. These DNA markers are not usually influenced by
environmental conditions. This in turn helps in explaining patterns of genetic variation among plant populations
and also to identify duplicated accessions within germplasm collections (Mohamad et al., 2009). On comparison
to other molecular markers, Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is known for its simplicity, speed
and relatively low cost to study genetic diversity, (Rafalski and Tingey, 1993).
II. Materials And Methods
The seeds of Anthurium andreanum bicolour var agnihotri were collected and made to germinate in
Murashige and Skoog medium. A single good plantlet obtained was further chosen as explant and cultured in
Murashige and Skoog medium (Table I) supplemented with 2 mg/L –6-benzylaminopurine and 0.5 mg/L-
naphthaleneacetic acid. This was called the mother plant. After 30 days the plantlets were transferred to fresh

Murashige and Skoog medium with increases in hormone concentration with 4 mg/L –6-benzylaminopurine
and 2mg/L-naphthaleneacetic acid (Med A). The proliferated plantlets were maintained in this medium for 90
days. The multiple shoots obtained were transferred to four different media. Murashige and Skoog without
hormones(Table I) (Med B), Murashige and Skoog medium hormone concentration with 4 mg/L –6-
benzylaminopurine and 2mg/L-naphthaleneacetic acid (Med C), Scheck and Hildebrandt (Table II) (Med D)and
Hildebrandt et al media(Table III) (Med E) was chosen and planters were maintained for ten cycles.
DNA extractions -DNA was extracted from the fresh leaves of plantlets obtained from the four media
compositions and the mother plant. Two grams of leaves were ground in a mortar with liquid nitrogen. 15ml of
lysis buffer was added. The tubes were incubated at 65˚C for 1 hour with intermittent mixing. The tubes were
Centrifuge at 10000 rpm for 10 minutes to separate out the unlysed cells. Supernatant was transferred to a fresh
30 ml centrifuge tube carefully. Equal volume of Chloroform was added and mixed well. This solution is
centrifuged at 10000 rpm for 15 minutes. The aqueous layer was pipetted out into the fresh 30 ml centrifuge
tube. Equal volume of Isopropanol and 1/10th
volume of 3M Sodium acetate was added and mixed well. Left at
room temperature to stand for 5-10 minutes and centrifuged at 10000 rpm for 10-15 minutes, the supernatant
was discarded. The pellet was washed with 1ml of 70% ethanol. The pellet air dried and suspended in 500 µl of
1X Tris- EDTA buffer. Samples were treated with RNAse, and the DNA was purified with columns and taken
for RAPD analysis.
PCR reactions and RAPD analysis- Five random primers were used in the experiment the sequence ID
discussed in Table IV. The PCR mix for the experiment is detailed in table V. The PCR reaction cycle is set for
40 cycles. The samples after 40 cycles in the eppendoff thermo cycler was run by gel electrophoresis after
loading the samples with gel loading buffers. A mid range DNA ruler is run as control and used for detecting.
The run gel is documented and analyzed.
III. Results
The present study was carried out to find out the genetic variability (somaclonal variation) among in
vitro cultured Anthurium andreanum bicolour var agnihotri with the mother plant. A single good plantlet
obtained from seed was chosen as explant (fig -6) and cultured in Murashige and Skoog medium (Table I)
supplemented with 2 mg/L of 6-benzylaminopurine and 0.5 mg/L of naphthaleneacetic acid. This was called the
mother plant (fig-7). After 30 days the plantlets were transferred to fresh Murashige and Skoog medium with
increases in hormone concentration with 4 mg/L –6-benzylaminopurine and 2mg/L- naphthaleneacetic acid
(Med A). The proliferated plantlets were maintained in this medium for 90 days (fig-8). The multiple shoots
obtained were transferred to four different media. Murashige and Skoog without hormones(Table I)(Med B),
Murashige and Skoog medium hormone concentration with 4 mg/L –6-benzylaminopurine and 2mg/L-
naphthaleneacetic acid (Med C), Scheck and Hildebrandt (Med D)(Table II) and Hildebrandt et al media(Table
III)(Med E) and maintained for ten cycles (fig-9). Scheck and Hildebrandt medium showed good response of
multiplication. It is noted that the multiplications of shoots that were continued in the Murashige and Skoog
medium supplemented with 4 mg/L of 6-benzylaminopurine and 2mg/L of naphthaleneacetic acid for 10 cycles
showed further good proliferation.
The PCR analysis on the gel are labeled as Mother, Med A,B,C,D,E for the lanes as the media used to
obtained these plants. The RAPD analysis of in vitro cultured Anthurium andraeanum bicolour var agnihotri
using OPA 02 (fig 1) primer showed homology in bands proving the genetic identity of the mother plant with
that of in vitro cultured plantlets. However the primers opc-07(fig2) showed a unique difference at the band size
of 600bp compared to the mother plant. Similarly the primer opb-10 (fig 3) showed unique band pattern at
650bp and opd-02(fig4) showed unique band pattern at 1.4kb.The primer opc-06(fig 5) showed complete
difference in band patterns which was unique to the rest of the primers analyzed.
IV. Conclusion
The following factors may be responsible for the genetic variability among the in vitro cultured
plantlets. The explants (seed) culture conditions, media composition, concentration of growth regulators. The
plantlets might have under gone mutation due to the presence of growth regulators (6-benzylaminopurine and
naphthaleneacetic acid) and also for the number of cycles they were cultured (10-12cycles). The plantlets
cultured in the Murashige and Skoog medium supplement with4 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine and 2mg/L-
naphthaleneacetic acid indicated good variation in the band pattern, inferring that the plantlets have undergone
mutation.
Such genetic variation among the ornamental plants were common during in vitro studies and may lead
to the development of a new clone a variety of plant which is useful for commercial exploitation, In Anthurium
any morphological characters such as changes in the leaf morphology or spadix can be considered as a new
variety of ornamental plant.
