THE USE of BIOTECHNOLOGY for SUPPLYING of PLANT MATERIAL for TRADITIONAL CULTURE of MEDICINAL, RARE SPECIES Arnica Montana L
Lucrări Ştiinţifice – vol. 57 (1) 2014, seria Agronomie THE USE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR SUPPLYING OF PLANT MATERIAL FOR TRADITIONAL CULTURE OF MEDICINAL, RARE SPECIES Arnica montana L. Iuliana PANCIU1, Irina HOLOBIUC2, Rodica CĂTANĂ2 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Taking into account the importance of Arnica montana, the attempts to improve the culture technologies are justified. Our study had the aim to optimize in vitro plant multiplication and growth as a source of plants for traditional culture in this species. Aseptic germinated seedlings were used as explants, apical meristem being the origin of the direct morphogenesis process. For induction of regeneration, to promote plant growth and rooting, we used some combination of growth factors and supplements as ascorbic acid, glutamine, PVP and active charcoal added in culture media based on MS formula. We improved the efficiency of micropropagation, the best values were recorded on variant supplemented with PVP –.7 regenerants/explant in the first 4 weeks and increasing at 17/ initial explant ( mean 14.62) after 8 weeks. Concerning the germination capacity of the seeds scored after 2 weeks in sterile condition, the rate was 47.76 and in non-sterile conditions, the rate varied depending of the substrate used. Comparing to the plants obtained through traditional seeds germination, in vitro plants grew faster and were more vigourously. The micropropagation protocol in Arnica montana L. allowed us to regenerate healthy, developed and rooted plants in the second subculture cycle. This in vitro methodology can provide plant material for initiation of a conventional culture after acclimatization of the obtained vitroplants. -

SYSTEMATICA OF ARNICA, SUBGENUS AUSTROMONTANA AND A NEW SUBGENUS, CALARNICA (ASTERACEAE:SENECIONEAE) by GERALD BANE STRALEY B.Sc, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1968 M.Sc, Ohio University, 1974 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Botany) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA March 1980 © Gerald Bane Straley, 1980 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study.

Department nf Botany The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 26 March 1980 ABSTRACT Seven species are recognized in Arnica subgenus Austromontana and two species in a new subgenus Calarnica based on a critical review and conserva• tive revision of the species. Chromosome numbers are given for 91 populations representing all species, including the first reports for Arnica nevadensis. Results of apomixis, vegetative reproduction, breeding studies, and artifi• cial hybridizations are given. Interrelationships of insect pollinators, leaf miners, achene feeders, and floret feeders are presented. Arnica cordifolia, the ancestral species consists largely of tetraploid populations, which are either autonomous or pseudogamous apomicts, and to a lesser degree diploid, triploid, pentaploid, and hexaploid populations. -
