l. OSMOTIC AND: IONIC EFFECTS ON GERMINATION, SEEDLING
GROWTH AND :METt\BOLITES OF ISAB~L (PLANTAGO OVATA FORSK.)
KANT A RANI, M. Sc., .2000
Major Adviser: Dr. U. K. Varshney .
CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar
The study was conducted to investigate the effect of osmptic and ionic stresses on
seed germination, seedling growth, plant water rela~ns, metaboiites and mineraI' status of
seedlings ofIsabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk.). Isabgol, a crop ofm edicinal importance, is
cultivated in some parts ofHaryana where it is influenced by drought and/or salinity ~t
impart osmotic and ionic stresses: The experiment was performed in petri dishes under
controlled conditions using three stress treatments, viz. NaCI, Na SO; and PEG-6000,
2
and seven stress levels, viz. 0 (control), -0.2, -0.4, -0.6, -0.8, -1.0 and -1.2 Mpa.
Increasing levels of stress resulting fr~m the lowering of osmotic potential of the
culture solutions by NaCl, N~SO 4 and PEG not only inhibited seed germination to different
extent but also declined the rate of germination as recorded in terms of Maquire Index; .
such effects were more pronounced under PEG treatment. Between the two salt
treatments, Na SO. proved more fataL
2
Osmotic and ionic effects imparted b~ NaCI, Na S0 apd PEG proved adverse to
2 4
seedlings as they caused decrease in coty)edonary leaflength, vigour index, fresh and dry
weights of root and cotyledon.ary leaf. PEG was most unfavourable to seedlings in this
regard and Na S0 was more fatal than NaCI. PEG only promoted the root length of
2 4
seedlings which, however, declined with the increase in stress level.
PEG as well as salt stresses reduced the relative water content and osmotic potentials
of root and cotyledonary leaf. PEG stress had greater reducing effect than salt stress in
. this regard. Na S0 caused more reduction in RWC while NaCI affected osmotic potential
2 4
to a great extent. The membrane permeability of cotyledonary leaves increased under
PEG and salt stresses. NaCI proved most deleterious to membrane.
An accumulation of metabolites such as total soluble carbohydrates, proline ~d
phenols in roots and cotyledonary leaves of seedlings was observed with the increase in
stress levels. The accumulation was maximum under PEG stress and between the two
salt stresses accumulation was more under NaCI stress than Na S0 stress. This
2 4
<iccumulation of soluble organic solutes in these organs of seedlings helped in osmotic
adjustment under osmotic and ionic stresses.
All stress treatments caused reduction in protein content of roots and cotyledonary
leaves. PEG and salt stresses both enhanced starch content which, however, decreased
with increasing stress levels. NaCI caused more decrease. This decline in starch content
was due to hydrolysis of starc~ into soluble carbohydrates.
~ineral estimation of root and cotyledonary leaves revealed a decline in K+, Ca2+
sot
under salt stress levels. Accumulation of and Na+ under Na S0 stress and that of
2 4
Cl- under NaCI stress was observed.

2. MICROPROPAGATION OF NYCTANTHES ARBORTRISTIS LINN.
(HARSINGHAR) THROUGH TISSUE CULTURE
SUNAINA, M. Sc., 2000
Major Adviser: Dr. S. C. Goyal
CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar
Attempt was made for plant regeneration directly from nodal explants and indirectly
from cotyledon, leaf, internode and nodal explants excised from one month old seedlings
as ~ell as from mature, tree of Nyctanthes arbortristis Linn.
All the four explants were ,cultured on MS medium with and without growth
regulators-auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins and other adjuvapts like adenine sulphate, ascorbic
acid, coconut milk at different concentrations alone and in combination. Cotyledon explants
obtained from mature green seeds gave maximum per cent callus induction on 2,4-0 (2.0
mg/I) and GAl (2.0 mg/I) alone as well as 2,4-0 (0.5 mg/l)+kinetin (0.5 mg/I) while in
internodes and nodes 2,4-0 (0.5 mg/l)+kinetin (0.5 mg/I) was found to be good for callus
induction as compareoto Qth~r combinations of growth regulators. The explants which
were excised from one month old seedlings showed better response in terms of callus
induction and growth a~ compared to explants obtained from mature tree. Out of these
four explants, cqtyledon and leaf were found to be best in terms of callus induction,
growth and differentiation than the internode and node. Calli obtained from different
explants when s\lbcultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of
growth regulators, only the calli of cotyledon explant$ showed shoot formation after 30-40
days of inoculation on BAP (1.0 and 2.0 mgl~+G~ (2.0 mg/I). Histological changes in
the callus revealed that meristematic centres developetl within 3-4 weeks before
differentiation on regeneration medium.
Direct regeneration of multiple sh~ots from nodal segments of mature tree and of
seedlings was achieved on 1.0 mg/I BAP alone and 2.0 mgtl BAP+2.0 ~g/I G~,
respectively. ,Shoots obtained from calli of cotyledon explants and from nodal explants
directly were rooted on MS mediym supplemented with IAA (3.0 mg/I). The rooted
, plantlets were transferred in soil but due to poor weather conditions plant could not swvive.
But the process is in progress to transfer these plantlets in field and raise them to maturity.
