Efficient induction of tetraploids via adventitious bud regeneration and subsequent phenotypic variation in Acacia melanoxylon.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND ACACIA MELANOXYLON: is an important species for establishing pulpwood plantations due to its high application value in engineered wood products. However, the lack of a well-established in vitro regeneration system has severely constrained its industrial-scale propagation and the induction of tetraploids. RESULTS: In this study, using the superior A. melanoxylon clone SR3, an in vitro regeneration system using a bud-bearing stem segment was established. A DKW medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L 6-BA, 0.1 mg/L IAA, and 0.2 mg/L NAA was determined as the optimal differentiation medium. Adding 0.5 mg/L IBA and 0.25 mg/L NAA to the 1/2 MS medium produced a higher rooting percentage and root number. To determine the optimal timing for tetraploid induction in A. melanoxylon, morphologica
