An in vitro system for selection and characterization of acifluorfen-tolerant Solanaceous plants

Callus growth and shoot regeneration from long-term cultured Solanaceous genotypes depended on the genotype, growth regulators, and thiamine concentrations. Most Solanaceous genotypes produced more shoots and better shoot growth on high than low levels of thiamine. The effect of thidiazuron on callus growth and shoot regeneration differed depending on the genotype. Shoot regeneration of Solanum sp. was more effective on medium with thidiazuron than with IAA and BA while growth of L. peruvianum accessions was stimulated by IAA and BA. Somaclones regenerated varied in leaf shape, flower morphology, flower color, and fertility. Variation depended on genotype, with some changes heritable over 2 generations of selfing, and others due to differences in ploidy.
