Projects
have been developed to enhance crops and establish a successful method for
plant regeneration. This study focused on the regeneration response of
cotyledonary node explants from germinating peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
seeds. Sectioned cotyledonary nodes were grown in vitro to regenerate
whole plants. Mixing 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) with Murashige and Skoog's media
yielded many shoots (1–50mg.L-1), with optimal production for most
varieties at 15 mg L-1. Higher BAP concentrations inhibited all
genotypes, while lower doses promoted repeated shoot production. Genotypic
differences affected shooting potential with BAP presence. Two genotypes showed
rooting on MS medium with 1 mg L-1 NAA, whereas GJG 20 required a
combination of 1 mg L-1 NAA and 0.5 mg L-1 IBA. Rooted
plantlets were acclimatized in plastic cups with a soil, sand, vermicompost,
and farmyard manure mix (3:1:1 w/w) for 7-10 days before field transfer. These
plants flowered and produced healthy seeds without phenotypic variations,
demonstrating a reliable in vitro regeneration method for peanut plants.
