Efficient callus induction and completion of regeneration in kenaf Hibiscus cannabinus
Abstract
Abstract Kenaf, Hibiscus cannabinus , is a fiber-enriched plant belonging to Malvaceae and is an important fiber crop. The features of kenaf of being fast-growing and fiber-enriched suggest the potential for the use of kenaf in biomass and materials; however, the complete regeneration procedure, which is essential for genetic modification, is lacking. Here, we report the complete regeneration of kenaf from cotyledon explants achieved by callus induction on an improved callus-inducing medium and shoot induction on a shoot-inducing medium and by seed setting under a regulated growth condition in a chamber. Our complete regeneration method will enable the production of stably transformed kenaf that can improve the properties of kenaf as a material.
