Abstract
Pilosocereus robinii is a rare specieswhich is experiencing sudden population collapse. Identifying and developing effective conservation and management strategies to halt the forestall extinction of this species is crucial. The present study was conducted to assess the best conditions for in vitro propagation of this plant in regard to its morphogenic, genetic as well as the chemical potentials. A successful in vitro propagation system of P. robinii has been developed. MS hormone-free medium induced the best root morphogenic potential. The plants were acclimatized in the greenhouse at 100% survival rate. Besides, the somaclonal variations between the in vitro raised plants were analyzed using PCR-ISSR markers and SDS–PAGE protein, where the regenerated explants onMSmediumsupplementedwith TDZwere the highest in inducing newspecificmarker bands.Sh6ISSRprimer showed the highest polymorphismvalue, 81.8%with 33 totalamplified fragments,while Sh3 ISSR primer showed the lowest value with polymorphic percentage of 14.3%. Furthermore, SDS–PAGE protein analysis showed no variation in protein pattern of the studied treatments. On the other side, HPLC analysis of the in vitro plantlets extracts has shown that 2iP based treatments were the highest in organic acids accumulation, while the phenolic constituents' accumulation was found to reach its peak in the BA based treatments
