Experiment Title In vitro regeneration studies in Tuberose (Polianthus tuberosa L.)
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) is a member of the family Amaryllidaceae. It is one of the important bulbous flower crops of tropical and subtropical regions. Among the commercially grown flowers in India, tuberose occupies a prime position owing to its popularity as a cut flower, loose flower, for perfumery as well as its potential as source of secondary metabolites. Tuberose is commercially grown for its fragrant flowers for perfume industry in India and France. The fragrant oil, almost all of which is exported from India, is one of the most expensive of the fragrant oils used in perfumes, Tuberose is conventionally propagated by means of bulbs which are produced by the mother plant. However, this method is very slow with low multiplication i.e .one bulb can proliferate only 1.6 per annum (approximate). Conventional propagation methods have a plethora of bottlenecks such as difficulty in producing true-to-type bulbs as well as spread of diseases from stock plants infected with bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma, nematodes, viruses, etc. Thus, in vitro propagation technique proves a highly potent tool with several benefits like rapid mass multiplication of new cultivars, ease in maintenance of disease-free stock, year round production of plantlets and storage of plantlets in a small space. Tuberose does not have enough background for regeneration through tissue culture and in vitro propagation techniques in this crop have been in vogue. (Kadam et al., 2010). Keeping the above considerations in view an investigation was taken up to standardise a viable micropropagation protocol for the commercially important tuberose .
