Enhanced plant regeneration in grain and sweet sorghum by asparagine, proline and cefotaxime

A M Rao et al. Plant Cell Rep. 1995 Jan.

Abstract

Cefotaxime ( 50 and 100 mg/1 ), a cephalosporin antibiotic and the amino acids asparagine and proline (200 mg/l) enhanced the production of embryogenic callus, increased the frequency of plant regeneration, and delayed the loss of regeneration potential in immature embryo-derived callus cultures ofSorghum bicolor (L.) Moench. Although these compounds did not promote callus induction or growth of callus, they influenced plant regeneration considerably in 10 low responding genotypes of grain and high anthocyanin containing sweet sorghums.
