Innovative in vitro shoot regeneration in variegated snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata cv. Laurentii) through utilization of light exposed single-node rhizome tissue.

ABSTRACT: Maintaining genetic fidelity in in vitro-regenerated plants derived from chimeric tissues presents a significant challenge during tissue culture experiments. Sansevieria trifasciata cv. Laurentii exhibits striking periclinal chimeric tissues along its leaves, which are compromised when propagating plants through leaf cuttings. In addition to establishing in vitro production of S. trifasciata cv. Laurentii, the regeneration efficiency of light exposed single-node rhizome explants was also evaluated. Among various types of rhizome explants, the single-node rhizome explant produced the highest mean number of shoots per explant (2.5) on MS medium supplemented with 3 mg L^- 1 BA and 0.1 mg L^- 1 NAA, which was approximately five times higher than that of other explants.
