Range of factors in the reduction of hyperhydricity associated with in vitro shoots of Salvia santolinifolia Bioss

Gama de fatores na redução da hiperidricidade associada a brotos in vitro de Salvia santolinifolia Bioss

Abstract

Hyperhydricity is a serious physiological disorder and affects In vitro propagation of many plants and as well of Salvia santolinifolia. The donor material to initiate the in vitro culture was the callus taken from the in vitro shoots produced on Murashig and Skoogs (MS) medium at 4.0 mg/l BA. This callus formed numerous hyperhydric shoots on culturing upon the medium of the same composition. The aim was to systematically evaluate the effect of cytokinins (Benzyladnine (BA) and N6-(-2-isopentenyl) adenine (2iP), culture vessels magnitude, medium solidification, source of nitrogen and calcium chloride for the alleviation of hyperhydricity. In the tissue cultures of S. santolinifolia BA and 2iP induced severe hyperhydricity, when other factors i.e. culture vessels magnitude and a suitable concentration of agar, ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), potassium nitrate (KNO3) & calcium chloride (CaCl2.2H2O) were not optimized. After 30 days’ culture, we observed 83.82% hyperhydric shoots at increased level (1.5 mg/l 2iP) and 81.59% at decreased levels (1.0 mg/l 2iP). On the other hand, hyperhydricity percentage at decreased (0.4%) and at increased (0.8%) levels of agar were 72.37% and 39.08%, respectively. MS medium modification with NH4NO3 (412 mg/l), KNO3 (475 mg/l) and CaCl2.2H2O (880 mg/l) was found the best medium to reduced hyperhydricity (23.6%).

Resumo

A hiperidricidade é um distúrbio fisiológico sério e afeta a propagação in vitro de muitas plantas e também da Salvia santolinifolia. O material doador para iniciar a cultura in vitro foi o calo retirado dos brotos in vitro produzidos em meio Murashig e Skoogs (MS) a 4,0 mg / l BA. Esse calo formou numerosos rebentos hiperídricos em cultura no meio da mesma composição. O objetivo foi avaliar sistematicamente o efeito das citocininas (Benziladnina (BA) e N6 - (- 2-isopentenil) adenina (2iP), magnitude dos vasos de cultura, solidificação do meio, fonte de nitrogênio e cloreto de cálcio para o alívio da hiperidricidade. culturas de tecidos de S. santolinifolia BA e 2iP induziram hiperidricidade severa, quando outros fatores, como magnitude dos vasos de cultura e uma concentração adequada de ágar, nitrato de amônio (NH4NO3), nitrato de potássio (KNO3) e cloreto de cálcio (CaCl2.2H2O), não foram otimizados. Após 30 dias de cultura, observamos 83,82% de brotos hiperídricos em níveis aumentados (1,5 mg / l 2iP) e 81,59% em níveis reduzidos (1,0 mg / l 2iP). Por outro lado, a porcentagem de hiperidricidade diminuiu (0,4%) e em níveis aumentados (0,8%) de ágar foram 72,37% e 39,08%, respectivamente. A modificação do meio MS com NH4NO3 (412 mg / l), KNO3 (475 mg / l) e CaCl2.2H2O (880 mg / l) foi encontrada melhor hiperidricidade média a reduzida (23,6%).

1. Introduction

Hyperhydricity is a physiological disorder and hampered the micropropagation of many plants. Phillips and Matthews (1964)PHILLIPS, D.J. and MATTHEWS, G.J., 1964. Growth and development of carnation shoot tips in vitro. Journal of Botanical Gazette, vol. 125, no. 1, pp. 7-12. http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/336237.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/336237...
reported it for the first time in carnation shoot tip culture. Hyperhydric individual obstructs the industrial production of plants regeneration and caused economic loss. For nearly 60% of plants species, hyperhydricity was described to results in a great loss (Tabart et al., 2015TABART, J., FRANCK, T., KEVERS, C. and DOMMES, J., 2015. Effect of polyamines and polyamine precursors on hyperhydricity in micropropagated apple shoots.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00709-016-095...
). Hyperhydricity are often affect the performance and persistence of tissue culture of many plant species (Debergh et al., 1992DEBERGH, P., AITKEN-CHRISTIE, J., COHEN, D., GROUT, B., VON ARNOLD, S., ZIMMERMAN, R. and ZIV, M., 1992. Reconsideration of the term vitrification as used micropropagation. Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, vol. 30, no. 2, pp. 135-140. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF00034307.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF00034307...
) and can lead in to permanent damage of regenerated capability of the tissue (Gaspar et al., 2000GASPAR, T., KEVERS, C., BISBIS, B., FRANCK, T., CRÈVECOEUR, M. and GREPPIN, H., 2000. Loss of plant organogenictotipotency in the course of in vitro neoplastic progression. In Vitro Cellular and Developmental Biololgy-Plants, vol. 36, no. 3, pp. 171-181.) and the conservation of endangered species became more problematic (Pence et al., 2014PENCE, V., FINKE, L. and NIEDZ, R., 2014. Reducing hyperhydricity in shoot cultures of cycladenia humilis var. jonesii: an endangered dry land species. In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology. Plant, vol. 50, pp. S62.), hence the inhibition of this difficult is very essential. Numerous factors can encourage the hyperhydricity an in vitro shoots, large quantities of ammonium ions (Brand 1993BRAND, M.H., 1993. Agar and ammonium nitrate influence hyperhydricity, tissue nitrate and total nitrogen content of serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea) shoots in vitro.

), high level of exogenous cytokinins (Ivanova et al., 2006IVANOVA, M., NOVAK, O., STRNAD, M. and VAN STADEN, J., 2006.

) and agar concentrations in the medium (Abdoli et al. 2007ABDOLI, M., MOIENI, A. and DEHGHANI, H., 2007. Effects of cultivar and agar concentration on in vitro shoot organogenesis and hyperhydricity in sunflower (Helianthus annus 1). Pakistan Journal of Botany, vol. 39, no. 1, pp. 31-35.). The greatest collective reason of the hyperhydricity existence is the culture in liquid medium (Silva et al., 2013SILVA, A.L.L., RODRIGUES, C., COSTA, J.L., MACHADO, M.P., PENHA, R.O. and BIASI, L.A., 2013. Gibberellic acid fermented extract obtained by solid-state fermentation using citric pulp by Fusariummoniliforme: influence on Lavandula angustifolia Mill. Cultivated in vitro. Pakistan Journal of Botany, vol. 45, pp. 2057-2064.) and the use of high concentrations of cytokinins causes the accumulation of ethylene in the culture vessels (Isah, 2015ISAH, T., 2015. Adjustments to in vitro culture conditions and associated anomalies in plants. Acta Biologica Cracoviensia. Series; Botanica, vol. 57, no. 2, pp. 9-28. http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/abcsb-2015-0026.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/abcsb-2015-002...
).

Salvia is one of the well-known genus of family Lamiaceae with round about 800 species. Genus Salvia is well known for its anti-tumor phytochemicals (Ginda and Kakisawa, 1990GINDA, H. and KAKISAWA, H., 1990. Miltipolone, a new diterpenoidtropolone possessing cytotoxic activities from Salvia miltiorrhiza. Chemistery Letters, pp. 1599-1602.). In the frequent exploration for novel bioactive compounds one new and two know compounds were isolated from the callus culture of S. santolinifolia (Jan et al., 2018JAN, T., QADRI, R., NAQVI, B., ADHIKARI, A., NADEEM, S. and MUHAMMAD, A., 2018. A novel Salvialactomine from the callus culture of Salvia santolinifolia Boiss. Natural Product Research, vol. 32, no. 7, pp. 749-754. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14786419.2017.1311887. PMid:28412869.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14786419.2017....
). The methods of tissue culture controls the conservation of plant genetic properties without depleting their natural place; because it requires a small fragment of plants to initiate the regeneration process (Mikula and Rybczynski, 2006MIKULA, A. and RYBCZYNSKI, J.J., 2006. Cryopreservation - a tool for long-term storage of cells, tissues and organs from in vitro culture derived. Biotechnologia, vol. 4, pp. 145-163.). During the callus culture of S. santolinifolia, hyperhydricity easily burst on a large scale and causes high fatalities in term of effort, material and financial resources. To study the scope of factors on hyperhydricity of S. santolinifolia, we evaluated the effects of cytokinin types and concentration, culture vessels magnitude, medium solidification and source of nitrogen with calcium chloride on hyperhydricity and regeneration of adventitious shoots from callus. This study contributes to our understanding of the effect of factors on hyperhydricity in shoots from callus of S. santolinifolia. Developing an effective system of regeneration would be a useful tool for the conservation of this species and others members of the family Lamiaceae.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Experimental materials and subcultures

The donor explants (nodes and leaves) for the initiation of callus was obtained from 90 days old In vitro shoots on MS medium augmented with BA (4.0 mg/l) BA+NAA (4.0+0.1 mg/l), sucrose (3%), agar (0.5%), pH (5.55-5.56), (Table 1) in the initial experiment. The nodes derived callus showed organogenic potential and was selected for further experiments for the induction of adventitious shoots while callus of leaves failed to form adventitious shoots and was not used in further experiments.

Table 1
Induction of callus in the influence of Cytokinin and Auxin.

The callus and hyperhydric shoots formed after 30 days of incubation were subcultured on MS media containing different concentrations of BA (3.0 and 3.5 mg/l) and 2iP (1.0 and 1.5 mg/l) for induction of multiple shoots (Table 2). The hyperhydric shoots along with callus were also shifted to MS medium supplemented with combination of cytokinin and gibberellin (BA+GA3 (3.0+2.0 and 3.5+2.0 mg/l) and 2iP+GA3 (1.0+2.0 and 1.5+2.0 mg/l) (Table 3).

2.2. Culture vessels and medium solidification

In order to determine the effect of culture vessels magnitude and agar concentration on induction of hyperhydricity in the shoots two types of culture vessels were used, (1) small magnitude screw cap culture vessels (90.0x51 mm) and (2) large magnitude screw cap culture vessels (138x72 mm). For solidification of medium several agar concentrations have been tested (0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7% and 0.8%) while pH was maintained at 5.55 to 5.56 (Table 5). One organogenic callus was placed in small culture vessels containing 15 ml of culture medium and two organogenic calluses were placed in large culture vessels containing 30 ml of culture medium. After 30 days of incubation percentage of hyperhydric and normal morphology shoots were determined (Table 4).

2.3. Optimization of medium components

Murashige and Skoog (1962)MURASHIGE, T. and SKOOG, F., 1962. A revised medium for rapid growth and bioassays with tobacco tissue cultures. Physiologia Plantarum, vol. 15, no. 3, pp. 473-497. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1399-3054.1962.tb08052.x.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1399-3054.19...
medium was modified and the organogenic callus of nodes were cultured on them as explants;

  1. 1
    To confirm the effect of macroelements, concentration of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3 825 mg/l) and potassium nitrate (KNO3 950 mg/l) was decreased, and concentration of calcium chloride dehydrate CaCl2.2H2O (880 mg/l) was increased in the standard MS medium (Table 6).
    Table 6
    Effect of different concentration of NH4NO3, KNO3 and CaCl2.2H2O in the medium in large size container comprising 2iP (1.0 mg/l) and agar (0.7%).
  2. 2

    To confirm the existence of NH4+ only in the medium, KNO3 was kept out and CaCl2.2H2O was kept in the medium at the level of 880 mg/l. And nitrogen source was supplied in the form of NH4NO3 (Table 6).

  3. 3

    To confirm the existence of NO3+ only in the medium, NH4NO3 was kept out and CaCl2.2H2O was kept in the medium at the level of 880 mg/l. And nitrogen source was supplied in the form of KNO3 (Table 6).

  4. 4

    The organogenic medium contained 2 time decreased level of ammonium nitrate (412 mg/l), potassium nitrate (475 mg/l) and 2 time increased concentration of calcium chloride dehydrate (880 mg/l) of MS medium (Table 6).

All cultures were shifted into growth chamber where temperature was maintained at 25±°C. Light was provided from white fluorescent tubes in the growth chamber under a light regime of 16-h photoperiod.

2.4. Statistical analysis

All treatments were consisted of seven explants with two replicates per treatment; the experimental design used was completely randomize block design. Data were analyzed by applying ANOVA (SPSS statistical package software version 21.0) followed by Post hoc Tukey HSD test to check the significance difference at p<0.05.

3. Results

3.1. Callus development from in vitro leaf

The In vitro leaves of the 3rd subculture induced callus at combination of BA+NAA (4.0+0.5 mg/l) in the medium. The percent response of callus induction on leaves explants were 55 to 82% (Table 1). The calli were yellowish and friable (Figure 1A). The induced callus did not show shoots regeneration when subcultured on medium of the same composition.

Callus produced on MS medium, (A) callus from leaf, (B) callus from node after 25 days of culture; Hyperhydric shoots (Preserved in 70% alcohol) regenerated, (C) with 2iP (1.0 mg/l), (D) with BA (3.0 mg/l); Organogenic callus on medium, (E) Hyperhydric and normal shoot, (F) Hyperhydric shoot, (G) Normal morphology shoots.

3.2. Callus development from in vitro shoots

After three successive subculture of the regenerated shoot on MS medium containing BA (4.0 mg/l), small amount of callus formed at the base of shoots. The callus was whitish, granular and friable (Table 1). This callus was isolated and sub cultured to fresh medium of the similar formation. The calli first became necrotic within 3-5 days and then formed white callus from the deep-seated living cells. These white calli formed numerous small green areas after 17-20 days of cultured (Figure 1B). The green areas grew further and developed into numerous adventitious shoots which were looking glassy and fleshy and they were hyperhydric.

3.3. Subculture of hyperhydric shoots

The hyperhydric shoots and callus which have been produced on MS media supplemented with BA (4.0 and 5.0 mg/l were shifted to MS medium with reduced concentrations of BA (3.0 and 3.5 mg/l) and 2iP (1.0 and 1.5 mg/l). The original hyperhydric shoots increased in length (0.79 cm) with abnormal morphology (Table 2). While callus culture on media containing BA (3.0 and 3.5 mg/l) and 2iP (1.0 and 1.5 mg/l) replicated further and produced new green area which developed into new hyperhydric shoots. The hyperhydric shoots formed with 2iP were yellowish green, brittle and their leaves were curled (Figure 1C) while on media supplemented with BA the hyperhydric shoots were yellowish green, brittle and their leaves were curled, wrinkled (Figure 1D). Increase percentage of hyperhydric shoots (86.72%) were observed on BA augmented media and 81.82% hyperhydric shoots were observed on 2iP containing media (Table 2). This culture condition (2iP comprised culture medium) was optimized and considered as the control. Onward experiments were planned to reduce the problem of hyperhydricity by adjusting different culture parameters.

3.4. The effect of cytokinins in combination with GA3

Calli along with adventitious shoots (hyperhydric) were subculture on MS media, having 2iP (1.0 and 1.5 mg/l) in combination with GAз (2.0 mg/l). All calli turned brown and then white calli emerged from necrosed callus masses which grew further and formed numerous shoots which were short, fleshy and glassy. Symptoms of these shoots were; short internodes and abnormal leaves i.e., thick, curled, wrinkled and fleshy. In spite of the presence of GA3 in the medium shoots did not elongate more and remained small (Table 3).

3.5. Effect of vessels magnitude on hyperhydricity

The determination of this experiment was to observe the effect of culture vessels magnitude (138×72 mm &90.0×51 mm) on hyperhydricity and formation of normal morphology shoots on MS medium in the presence of 2iP (1.0 and 1.5 mg/l). After 7 days of incubation on medium in large magnitude culture vessels (138×72 mm), the callus turned brown, became necrotic and the necrotic calli then formed white callus as they did before. After 28 days of incubation it was noted that higher concentration of 2iP (1.5 mg/l) lead to numerous hyperhydric shoots along with limited numbers of normal adventitious shoots (Figure 1E) whereas lower concentration of 2iP (1.0 mg/l) lead to new crops of hyperhydric shoots with more number of normal shoots (Table 4). However, in small magnitude containers (90.0x51 mm) the callus performed the same as they did in the previous experiments (Table 2, 3) and formed reduced percentage of normal shoots. Thus, large magnitude culture vessel and cytokinin 2iP at the rate of 1.0 mg/l were optimized and used in all onward experiments.

3.6. Effect of gelling agent on hyperhydricity

Different concentrations of gelling agent were assimilated in the medium, in order to demonstrate the influence of medium solidification on hyperhydricity and regeneration of normal morphology shoots. The percentage of hyperhydricity decreased as concentrations of agar was increased progressively in the medium, highest hyperhydricity (72.37%) resulted at 0.4% agar and lowest hyperhydricity (39.08%) resulted at 0.8% agar in the medium but good quality and maximum numbers of shoots were observed at 0.7% agar (Table 5). Thus 0.7% agar was optimized and used in onward experiments.

3.7. Effect of ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate and calcium chloride on hyperhydricity and initiation of shoot

To alleviate the problem of hyperhydricity and produce maximum number of normal morphology shoots, MS medium was modified by adding decreased concentrations of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), potassium nitrate ((KNO3) and increased concentration of calcium chloride (CaCl2.2H2O) (of the standard level of MS) with 0.7% agar in large magnitude container (Table 6). Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) at the level of 825 mg/l, potassium nitrate (KNO3) at the level of 950 mg/l and calcium chloride (CaCl2.2H2O) at 880 mg/l, caused the hyperhydricity to decrease drastically by 38.4% and increased the formation of normal morphology shoots by 24.37%. Only 31.3% decreased in hyperhydricity were observed when NH4NO3 was completely eliminated from the medium and retained KNO3 at 475 mg/l, CaCl2.2H2O at 880 mg/l) (Table 6). When KNO3 was eliminated from the medium and retained other condition the same (NH4NO3 412 mg/l, CaCl2.2H2O (880 mg/l), hyperhydricity decreased to 33.7%. Lowest percentage of hyperhydricity (23.6%) and highest percentage of normal morphology shoots (73.89%) (Figure 1G) was resulted in the combination of both nitrogen source (NH4NO3 (412 mg/l) and KNO3 (475 mg/l) with double concentration of CaCl2.2H2O (880 mg/l) (of the standard MS medium). Whereas maximum percentage of hyperhydric shoots was observed on the control medium (NH4NO31650 mg/l), KNO3 1900 mg/l and CaCl2.2H2O (440 mg/l)) with symptom of tip necrosis of the normal shoots (Table 6).

. GA3 has been shown to control the growth of plants by stimulating mitotic division and cell elongation (Ali et al., 2018ALI, S., KHAN, N., NOUROZ, F., ERUM, S., NASIM, W. and SHAHID, M.A., 2018. In vitro effects of GA3 on morphogenesis of CIP potato explants and acclimatization of plantlets in field. In Vitro Cellular and Develomental Biololy—Plants, vol. 54, no. 1, pp. 104-111.). In our study the addition of GA3 in combination with BA and 2iP did not bring about elongation of hyperhydric shoots and their number also remained unaffected.

Hyperhydricity is a developmental disorder in in vitro regenerated shoots and various causes have been assigned to it. In the present study it appeared due to use of small culture vessels because the aeration in vessel decreased, as well as medium solidification with low agar level (0.5%) which might have resulted in producing high humidity in the culture container, increased absorption of water by the cells. High humidity of the container may also discourage wax formation on the leaves and hence impaired transpiration leading to succulence development so that the tissues appeared thickened and translucent (Collin and Edwards, 1998COLLIN, H.A. and EDWARDS, S., 1998. Plant cell culture. London: Bios Scientific Publishers, pp. 121-137). With low agar concentration, more sever the hyperhydricity. Increasing agar concentration from 0.5 to 0.8% shrank hyperhydricity in our study. We discussed that low concentration of agar increases the chances of accessibility of water and humidity in the culture bottle, permitted more uptake of water, resulting hyperhydricity. It has been reported that hyperhydricity can be alleviated by increasing the concentration of agar (Casanova et al., 2008CASANOVA, E., MOYSSET, L. and TRILLAS, M.I., 2008. Effects of agar concentration and vessel closure on the organogenesis and hyperhydricity of adventitious carnation shoots.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10535-008-000...
) and its reduction caused hyperhydricity (Lebedev et al., 2018LEBEDEV, V., ARKAEV, M., DREMOVA, M., POZDNIAKOV, I. and SHESTIBRATOV, K., 2018. Effects of growth regulators and gelling agents on ex vitro rooting of raspberry. Plants, vol. 8, no. 1, pp. 1-10. PMid:30583529.). Bayraktar et al.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.sajb.2019.11...
prevented hyperhydricity by changing the gelling agent to agar-agar. The appearance of some of normal shoot in cultures which were transferred to large size culture vessels suggest that normal shoot morphogenesis requires large size containers and solid growth medium with 0.7% agar. The osmotic pressure of the medium and minimum humidity in the culture containers might have played a role in the process. The magnitude of culture vessel, ventilation, types of closure and climate parameters of the culture room all influence hyperhydration (Lai et al., 2005LAI, C.C., LIN, H.M., NALAWADE, S.M., FANG, W. and TSAY, H., 2005. Hyperhydricity in shoot cultures ofScrophularia yoshimuraecan be effectively reduced by ventilation of culture vessels.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF01974443...
). High relative humidity above the cultures accelerates the hyperhydration process (Wardle et al., 1983WARDLE, K., DOBBS, E.B. and SHORT, K.C., 1983. In vitro acclimitization of aseptically cultured plantlet to humidity. Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, vol. 108, pp. 386-389.). The light green colour of shoots in our results may be due to chlorophyll deficiency in the regenerated shoots which have been lead to the abnormalities in the shoots of this species. Several authors identified that the light green colour of vitrified leaves may be the results of deficiency of chlorophyll (Phan and Letouze1983PHAN, C. and LETOUZE, R., 1983. A comparative study of chlorophyll, phenolic and protein content and of hydroxycinnamate CoA ligase activity of normal and vitreous plants (Prunusavium L) obtained in vitro.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0304-4211(83)9...
).

Our data in Table 6 specify that different concentrations of macro-elements (ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate and calcium chlorite) play an important role in hyperhydricity as reported by Mazri et al. (2016)MAZRI, M.A., MEZIANI, R., FADILE, J.E. and EZZINBI, A., 2016. Optimization of medium composition for in vitro shoot proliferation and growth of date palm cv. Mejhoul. 3 Biotech, vol. 6, no. 111, pp. 1-11. that high concentration of NH4NO3 in the medium resulted increased hyperhydricity. When concentrations of NH4NO3 and KNO3were decreased and CaCl2.2H2O was increased (of the standard level of MS) in the medium, the frequency of hyperhydricity decreased. The process of hyperhyricity was found reduced when the level of NH4NO3 and KNO3 was reduced twice and CaCl2.2H2O was increased twice of the standard level of MS medium. It has been reported that increased concentration of CaCl2.2H2O in the culture medium decreased hyperhydricity in the shoots (Machado et al., 2014MACHADO, M.P., SILVA, A.L.L., BIASI, L.A., DESCHAMPS, C., BESPALHOK FILHO, J.C. and ZANETTE, F., 2014.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1516-89132014...
). Large quantities of ammonium ions have been reported to increased hyperhydricity in different species (Brand, 1993BRAND, M.H., 1993. Agar and ammonium nitrate influence hyperhydricity, tissue nitrate and total nitrogen content of serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea) shoots in vitro. Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, vol. 35, no. 3, pp. 203-209. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF00037271.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF00037271...
). Normal shoots with zero hyperhydricity was induced on MS medium without NH4NO3 (Yu et al., 2011YU, Y., ZHAO, Y., ZHAO, B., REN, S. and GUO, Y., 2011. Influencing factors and structural characterization of hyperhydricity of in vitro regeneration in Brassica oleracea var.

http://dx.doi.org/10.4141/cjps10034...
). Our results demonstrated the increase level of calcium effect to reduced hyperhydricity. Similar result has also been reported by Machado et al. (2014)MACHADO, M.P., SILVA, A.L.L., BIASI, L.A., DESCHAMPS, C., BESPALHOK FILHO, J.C. and ZANETTE, F., 2014.

.

5. Conclusions

Hyperhydricity in shoots of S. santolinifolia was induced by multiple factors. Hormone types and concentration, culture vessels humidity, medium solidification and modification, all had impact on hyperhydricity. The used of high level of cytokinins causes extra hyperhydricity in the shoots compare of low level. Shoots in the small culture vessels were more easily hyperhydric than those in the large culture vessels. The kind of nitrogen source affected hyperhydricity and our results advised the presence of NH4NO3 (412 mg/l), KNO3 (475 mg/l), CaCl2.2H2O (880 mg/l) (of the standard MS medium), 2iP (1.0 mg/l), agar (0.7%) essential in the medium and culture vessels magnitude (138×72mm) for decreased percentage of hyperhydricity (23.6%) and increased normal morphology shoots (73.89%).
