Abstract
Efficient protocols have been developed to induce adventitious shoots in different types of explants of Campanula carpatica Jacq. More than five shoots per explant developed on hypocotyls of 5-week-old seedlings after 2 weeks of culture. Hypocotyls produced twice as many shoots as the cotyledons. TDZ proved to be about 6 times more efficient than BA. NAA had to be added to the regeneration medium to obtain the optimal balance of auxin and cytokinin to induce shoot regeneration. Significant differences were noted between different growth regulator concentrations in their effects on shoot organogenesis. BA induced double the number of callus clumps as TDZ. Incubation of explants in the dark produced about 6 shoots per explant while those in the light produced about 2 shoots per explant. Explants derived from 5-week-old seedlings were five times more regenerative compared to those derived from 15-week-old seedlings. Explants from cv. White Uniform were more organogenic than those from cv. Blue Clip. Root segments were also found to form shoots when treated with CPPU.
