In vitro Mutation of Neolamarckia cadamba (Kelampayan) Using Ethyl Methanesulfonate (EMS)

Neolamarckia cadamba is a lightweight hardwood timber tree species that is known to be fast-growing. Increasing demand for high quality planting material promotes the need for producing new variations. In vitro mutagenesis of N. cadamba by using ethyl methanesufonate (EMS) could accelerate the natu...

Increasing demand for high quality planting material promotes the need for producing new variations. In vitro mutagenesis of N. cadamba by using ethyl methanesufonate (EMS) could accelerate the natural mutation and breeding programme for superior planting material. Thus, the current study aimed to determine the lethal concentration 50 (LC50) of EMS, evaluate responses of EMS-treated N. cadamba explants, and screen putative mutants using gene-specific markers. Nodal explants of N. cadamba were subjected to 0 (control), 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, and 1% EMS for 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-hour treatments.

Variability of responses among the treated explants were observed by the increasing concentrations of EMS and duration of treatments. Percentages of survival, shoot formation, and callus formation were reduced, while no clear trend was observed from plant heights, rooting percentages, and survival after the acclimatization stage. Morphological abnormality among the survived explants was also identified in the current study.
