Abstract

‘Yeheb’ (Cordeauxia edulis Hemsl) is a multipurpose and evergreen shrub and endemic to southeastern corner of Ethiopia and Somalia. It is adapted to low and irregular rainfall and survives a very long dry season. It has enormous economic and food security roles to the pastoralist of Somali Region State in Ethiopia. However, the plant is threatened with extinction due to over exploitation and its’ poor natural regeneration capacity. The aim of this was to explore the potential for in vitro rapid regeneration of ‘yeheb’ from cotyledon and leaf explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with 1.0 – 8.0 mg l-1concentrations of 2, 4-D for callus induction and 2.0 and 3.0 mg l-1concentration of N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), thidiazuron (TDZ) and kinetin (Kin) with combination of 4.0 mg l-1 of 2, 4-Dichlorophenyl acetic acid (2, 4-D) for embryo induction. The result of these studies revealed that the highest percentage of callus induction (89%) were obtained from both leaf and cotyledon explants on MS media supplemented with 4.00 and 8.00 mg l-1 2, 4-D, respectively. The highest percentage of embryo regeneration responses (88.89 and 77.78%) were obtained from leaf and cotyledon explants on same media: MS media supplemented by 3.00 mg l-1 TDZ +4.00 mg l-1 2, 4-D. As a conclusion; this is the first attempt for callus and embryo in vitro regeneration of C. edulis and permissible result for mass propagation and cryopreservation.
