Plant Regeneration of M. sacchariflorus cv. Wooram Using Immature Inflorescence

This study was carried out to establish the optimal conditions for callus induction and plant regeneration using immature inflorescence of M. sacchariflorus cv. ‘Wooram’, a bioenergy crop selected in Korea. Callus induction rate was the highest (93.3%) in MS medium containing 3 mg L-1 2,4-D, and 86.7% in MS medium containing 3 mg L-1 2,4-D combined with 0.1 mg L-1 BA. Plant regeneration rate was high when the calli derived from the medium containing BA was used, as compared with those derived from the BA-minus medium. The results showed that the medium conditions containing 5 mg L-1 BA combined with 0.1 mg L-1 NAA was the most effective in plant regeneration of which the rate reached 86.7%. The regenerated shoots were separated from the calli and roots over 3 cm were developed from the shoots after 4 week culture on basal MS medium without supplementation. The plantlets were then transferred to soil and cultured in greenhouse. After 5 weeks, the plants with the height of at least 20 cm were successfully acclimatized.
