In-vitro Micro-propagation of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa)

Quinoa is a good crop for the consumption as steeple food. Quinoa is more important because it’s a gluten free and it is highly pretentious. That provide essential type of elements. That contain sufficient amount of all nine essential amino acids. It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E and different beneficial antioxidants. Callus induction and subculture was successful with mature embryos and stem sections of seedlings of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa). on Murashiges and Skoog's medium modified to contain 4 mg/I of 2,4‐D. 2,4‐D was superior to NAA and IAA for both callus induction and growth. Callus subculture on NAA formed abundant roots on Gelzen solidified media and numerous root like primordia in liquid cultures. Kinetin had no effect on callus induction in the presence of 2,4‐D. Callus grow equally well on the medium of Murashiges and Skoog. The callus grow more rapidly at 25°C than at 30°C or 35°C. Little difference was noted at any temperature in callus growth in alternating light (16 h) and dark (8 h) or continuous dark. Sucrose was superior to glucose and maltose in both liquid and gelzen solidified cultures. Lactose and galactose failed to support callus growth. By the tissue culturing quinoa can be developed as Climate resilient crop. This crop is best for human diet and health and its also can be use as balanced food.
