| مستخلص: | A protocol was developed for plant regeneration from leaf explants (laminaand petiole) of Aster cordifoliuscultivar `White Elegans', which ischimeric for chromosome number and the ligulate flower colour. Explantswere cultured on MS or Gamborg's B5 medium in presence of IAA, 2,4-Dand BAP, alone or in combination. The highest frequency of shootregeneration was obtained on B5 medium supplemented with 2,4-D(0.09 mg l-1) and BAP (1.8 mg l-1). After the invitrorooting stage and acclimatization, 90% of plantlets survived in thegreenhouse. The regeneration process occurred by indirect organogenesisas shown by cyto-histology. The regenerants maintained the originalchimerism for chromosome number. Pink flowers instead of theexpected white ones were obtained in all regenerants. Ahypothesis for the uniform colour change is discussed. Variations weredetected in the regenerant generation (R0) for quantitative characterssuch as capitulum and disc diameters, and number of ligulate flowers. SinceAstercan be vegetatively propagated, selection of variants in R0can provide interesting material for breeding purposes. |
