    Notes: Summary The effects have been studied of the non-ionic surfactants, Plutonic F-68, Tween 20 or Triton X-100, on shoot regeneration from cultured jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) cotyledons with attached petioles. This group of non-ionic surfactants was selected in order to determine a possible relationship between the physico-chemical properties of individual compounds and their observable effects on plant morphogenesis in cultured jute cotyledons. Supplementation of culture medium with 0.001–0.5% (w/v) Pluronic F-68 increased the mean percentage of cotyledons producing shoots and the mean number of shoots/cotyledon, with maximal responses at 0.5% (w/v). By contrast, Tween 20 produced maximal effects at 0.001% (v/v), with inhibition of shoot formation at 0.5% (v/v). In both cases, phenotypically normal plants were recovered which could be grown to maturity. Culture of cotyledons with 0.001% (v/v) Triton X-100 similarly increased both the percentage of cotyledons producing shoots and the number of shoots/cotyledon. However, these shoots did not develop into mature plants. Additionally, shoots did not regenerate from cotyledons cultured with Triton at 0.01–0.5% (v/v). These results demonstrate mat there is an apparent relationship between the hydrophilic-hydrophobic (HLB) balance of surfactants which determine their cell permeabilising properties and consequently, their effects on morphogenesis.

    Notes: Abstract The effects have been studied of the non-ionic surfactant, Pluronic F-68, on the growth in culture of jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) cotyledons with attached petioles, cotyledon explants and transformed roots. Supplementation of culture medium with 0.001–0.5% (w/v) of either commercial grade Pluronic F-68 or a purified fraction prepared by passage through silica gel, stimulated shoot production from the petioles of C. capsularis var. D154 and C134 cotyledons. This effect was most marked in C134, because of the failure of control cotyledons to produce shoots in the absence of Pluronic. Plants regenerated from Pluronic-treated cotyledons were morphologically normal. Growth of transformed roots of C. capsularis var. D154 was stimulated in medium supplemented with commercial grade or purified Pluronic F-68, with maximum increases in both fresh and dry weights with 0.1% (w/v) of the surfactant. Roots cultured in the presence of Pluronic F-68 could be maintained without sub-culture for up to 70 days, whereas roots cultured in the absence of Pluronic required subculture every 7 days, to prevent necrosis. Transformed roots also produced callus in the presence of 0.001–1.0% (w/v) of either commercial grade or purified Pluronic. The biotechnological implications of these results are discussed in relation to the potential value of non-ionic surfactants as growth-stimulating additives to plant culture media.
