  • Rapid in Vitro Regeneration of Sesbania Drummondii
    BIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 48 (1): 13-18, 2004 Rapid in vitro regeneration of Sesbania drummondii S.B. CHEEPALA, N.C. SHARMA and S.V. SAHI* Biotechnology Center, Department of Biology, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY 42101 USA Abstract This paper describes rapid propagation of Sesbania drummondii using nodal explants isolated from seedlings and young plants. The nodal segments proliferated into multiple shoots on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with 22.2 µM benzyladenine. MS medium containing 2.2 and 4.5 µM thidiazuron induced 5 - 6 shoots per stem node from 3-month-old plants. Nodal explants when cultured on MS medium containing combinations of benzyladenine (8.8 and 11.1 µM) and indole-3-butyric acid (0.24 - 2.46 µM) or indole-3-acetic acid (0.28 - 2.85 µM) gave lesser number of shoots. Callus induced on cotyledonary explants when subcultured on 2.2 µM thidiazuron containing medium resulted in its mass proliferation having numerous embryoid-like structures. Indole-3-butyric acid (0.24 - 2.46 µM) was found suitable for root induction. In vitro regenerated plants were acclimatized in greenhouse conditions. Additional key words: 6-benzyladenine, indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-butyric acid, medicinal plant, metal hyperaccumulator, micropropagation, thidiazuron. Introduction Sesbania drummondii (Rydb.)

  • Metal Hyperaccumulation and Bioremediation
    BIOLOGIA PLANTARUM 51 (4): 618-634, 2007 REVIEW Metal hyperaccumulation and bioremediation K. SHAH* and J.M. NONGKYNRIH** Department of Zoology, Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, U.P., India* Department of Biochemistry, North Eastern Hill University, Shillong-793022, Meghalaya, India** Abstract The phytoremediation is an environment friendly, green technology that is cost effective and energetically inexpensive. Metal hyperaccumulator plants are used to remove metal from terrestrial as well as aquatic ecosystems. The technique makes use of the intrinsic capacity of plants to accumulate metal and transport them to shoots, ability to form phytochelatins in roots and sequester the metal ions. Harbouring the genes that are considered as signatures for the tolerance and hyperaccumulation from identified hyperaccumulator plant species into the transgenic plants provide a platform to develop the technology with the help of genetic engineering. This would result in transgenics that may have large biomass and fast growth a quality essential for removal of metal from soil quickly and in large quantities. Despite so much of a potential, the progress in the field of developing transgenic phytoremediator plant species is rather slow. This can be attributed to the lack of our understanding of complex interactions in the soil and indigenous mechanisms in the plants that allow metal translocation, accumulation and removal from a site. The review focuses on the work carried out in the field of metal phytoremediation from contaminated soil. The paper concludes with an assessment of the current status of technology development and its future prospects with emphasis on a combinatorial approach. Additional key words: chaperones, phytoextraction, phytofiltration, phytomining, phytostabilization, phytovolitization, transporter.

  • Using ITS Sequences Suggests Lability in Reproductive Characters

Kimballa,*, Daniel J. Crawfordb a Department of Zoology, University of Florida, P.O. Box 118525, Gainesville, FL 32611-8525, USA b Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, The Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045-2106, USA Received 3 November 2003; revised 14 April 2004 Available online 7 July 2004 Abstract Relationships among the 21 genera within the tribe Coreopsideae (Asteraceae) remain poorly resolved despite phylogenetic stud- ies using morphological and anatomical traits. Recent molecular phylogenies have also indicated that some Coreopsideae genera are not monophyletic. We used internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences from representatives of 19 genera, as well as all major lin- eages in those genera that are not monophyletic, to examine phylogenetic relationships within this group. To examine the affects of alignment and method of analysis on our conclusions, we obtained alignments using five different parameters and analyzed all five alignments with distance, parsimony, and Bayesian methods. The method of analysis had a larger impact on relationships than did alignments, although different analytical methods gave very similar results. Although not all relationships could be resolved, a num- ber of well-supported lineages were found, some in conflict with earlier hypotheses. We did not find monophyly in Bidens, Coreopsis, and Coreocarpus, though other genera were monophyletic for the taxa we included. Morphological and anatomical traits which have been used previously to resolve phylogenetic relationships in this group were mapped onto the well-supported nodes of the ITS phy- logeny.
