S. O. Grose and <i>Tabebuia rosea</i> (Bertol.) Bertero ex A.DC are two forest species that grow in the coastal region of Ecuador and are threatened with extinction. A protocol for the mass multiplication of these species was developed using in vitro culture techniques. The cultures were initiated from seeds, and the effect of two culture media: Woody Plant Medium (WPM) and Murashige-Skoog (MS), two concentrations of NaClO (0.5% and 1%), and two disinfection times (3 and 5 min) was studied. During multiplication, the effect of three concentrations of two cytokinins: 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BAP) 4.4, 5.5, or 6.6 μM; kinetin 4.6, 5.75, or 6.9 μM) on the number of shoots, their length, and diameter was analyzed. This phase of the experiment was carried out in two successive multiplications. For rooting, two concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) (2.45 and 4.9 μM) were tested, and the number of roots formed and their length were determined. It was demonstrated that the WPM medium is the most suitable for the in vitro culture of both species and that disinfection time and NaClO concentration affect each species differently. For the multiplication of <i>H. chrysanthus</i>, the most suitable cytokinin was 6-BAP 6.6 μM; <i>T. rosea</i> performed better in the absence of cytokinins. IBA 2.45 μM produced the best results for the rooting of <i>H. chrysanthus</i>, while for <i>T. rosea</i>, IBA 4.9 μM was the most suitable. The acclimatized plants showed a high survival rate, demonstrating the feasibility of using this methodology for the accelerated propagation of these endangered species.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Key message</h3><p>In this research, the culture medium requirements and conditions for the micropropagation of <i>H. chrysanthus</i> and <i>T. rosea</i> were fine-tuned.

Fukuhara (commonly known as bleeding heart), a valuable ornamental-medicinal perennial. The article covers in vitro morphogenesis, cryopreservation techniques, and methods for inducing variability. The establishment of in vitro cultures utilized Murashige and Skoog medium enriched with various auxins, cytokinins, gold nanoparticles, and plant extracts, under both fluorescent and wide-spectrum LED lighting. Axillary bud activation and indirect somatic embryogenesis were more efficient, particularly in the presence of kinetin and picloram, respectively, compared to adventitious shoot regeneration. Significant cultivar differences were observed, with ‘Valentine’ being the easiest and ‘White Gold’ the most challenging to culture in vitro. To mitigate stress caused by classical growth regulators, alternative substances such as nanoparticles and natural extracts were used. Gold nanoparticles enhanced shoot proliferation and plantlet quality, while coconut and rice extracts improved survival rates during acclimatization. Enhanced metabolite production was achieved using exogenous auxins and gold nanoparticles. Guaiacol peroxidase was identified as a sensitive oxidative stress marker, with glutathione reductase being the most stable under stress. Cryogenic techniques incorporating explant encapsulation, i.e. encapsulation-vitrification, showed high effectiveness and genetic stability of plants, with nanomaterials boosting effectiveness. Coconut extract also enhanced <i>post</i>-thaw shoot proliferation, while sesame extract served as a natural retardant for slow-growth cultures. Mutagenic effectiveness ranked as microwaves &lt; nanoparticles &lt; X-rays. Comprehensive genetic variability insights were provided by integrating multiple SPAR marker systems.

The success rate of traditional techniques is almost negligible at less than 1%, and their applicability is dependent on external factors in soybean. There is a lack of standardized and reproducible systems, which makes it challenging to adopt the existing systems for haploid plant production. Therefore, there is a high demand for implementing innovative approaches for this crop due to the limitations of conventional methods. The <i>BABY BOOM (BBM)</i> gene, which generated haploidy at high rates (&gt; 80%) when expressed in pearl millet or through ectopic expression in the egg cells of rice, maize, and tobacco, is a novel example with promising potential. In this study, we used the egg cell-specific promoter <i>DD45</i>, which was cloned from Arabidopsis, to ectopically express the native soybean <i>BBM1</i> (<i>GmBBM1</i>) gene in soybean to observe the response to haploidy induction. Initially, the clone <i>pDD45:GmBBM1</i> was successfully constructed and confirmed by PCR and Sanger sequencing. The construct was subsequently transformed into soybean via a half-seed approach. The expression of <i>GmBBM1</i> in both flowers and leaves increased in the T₀ transgenic soybean lines. The T₀ plants and their seeds showed developmental abnormalities described by early senescence and flowering; however, the T₁ plants exhibited normal growth characteristics. The ploidy levels of the T₁ and T₂ plants were determined by flow cytometry and chromosome counting. The flow cytometry histograms revealed haploidy in the T₁ generation; however, further chromosome counting in T₂ plants revealed changes in chromosome number, and aneuploidy, which may be due to spontaneous doubling. This system is especially important in legume crops, as no reports exist on the application of the <i>BBM1</i> system in soybean.
