Intergeneric hybridization between Brassica species and Crambe abyssinica

A protocol for high frequency callus induction and plant regeneration from sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) anthers is described. Different variables using Murashige & Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 1.0 mg/l N₆-benzyladenine (BA) were tested for their ability to enhance the frequency of anther callusing and subsequent embryogenesis. Of these, agar concentration, sucrose concentration, carbohydrate source had significant effect on callusing, while differences due to incubation under dark vs light conditions, cold pretreatment of capitula for 1 to 6 days prior to anther inoculation and genotype on callusing were non-significant. However, all these factors exerted highly significant influence on embryogenesis when calli from the various media were transferred to medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l BA. With the procedure developed, callusing as high as 100% and embryo formation at a frequency of 44% was achieved. Although complete embryos were formed the frequency of their conversion to whole plantlets was low (14.3%). Hence, the embryogenic pathway was bypassed to obtain multiple shoots by transferring embryogenic calli with developing embryos to MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BA. Elongated shoots rooted on half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l NAA. Cytological analysis of embryogenic callus and somatic embryos revealed haploids at a frequency of 30% while that of rooted plants showed haploid regenerants at a frequency of 8.3%. Nevertheless, the frequency of putative haploid plants could be enhanced through mass multiplication using nodal explants of the regenerants.

Plant regeneration from protoplasts of Iris germanica L.

Summary Protoplasts were isolated enzymatically from suspension cultures derived from embryogenic calli induced by leaf base culture of Iris germanica. In protoplast culture, the effects of glucose concentration, different sugars and combinations of 2,4-D and KIN on protoplast division and colony formation were examined. N6 medium supplemented with 0.1–1 mg/l 2,4-D, 1 mg/l KIN, 200mg/l casein hydrolysate, 250 mg/l proline, 0.2 M glucose and 20 g/l agarose was suitable for protoplast division and colony formation. When colonies formed were transferred onto hormone-free MS medium, many plantlets were regenerated through somatic embryogenesis. Thus, we could establish a plant regeneration system from protoplasts of I. germanica.Contribution from the Laboratory of Plant Breeding, Faculty of Agriculture, Miyazaki University, Japan, No. 95.     

Long-term callus cultures of diploid Barley (Hordeum vulgare). I. Auxin effects on culture initiation and maintenance

Summary Use of 2,4-D was superior to NAA or IAA for embryogenic callus initiation or maintenance in barley cultivar Bruce. A concentration of at least 2.0 mg/l 2,4-D was desirable for culture initiation. The developmental size of the embryo was more important than embryo age for obtaining embryogenic calli. Even brief exposures (20–40 days) of calli to concentrations of higher than 5.0 mg/l 2,4-D or 10.0 mg/l NAA resulted in inhibition of subsequent plant regeneration and therefore, concentrations above these could not be used for maintenance cultures. In the long-term maintenance cultures, the best production of embryogenic calli was with 0.1 mg/l and 1.0 mg/l 2,4-D.     

两种常用激素组合下棉花体细胞胚胎发生过程的组织学观察

 MSB培养基添加两种常用植物激素组合，Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) + kinetin (KT)和2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) + KT，分别命名为IK和DK处理用来诱导陆地棉体细胞胚胎发生。陆地棉品系YZ1下胚轴切段作为外植体在诱导培养基上培养4周后，继代到分化培养基上促进体细胞胚胎发生。结果表明，两种处理均有体细胞胚胎发生，其中IK处理上外植体嫁接33 d后就可见体细胞胚出现，分化率高达97.6%，大多数外植体表现为体细胞胚较胚性愈伤早出现。DK处理中体细胞胚胎发生慢，体细胞胚都是经过明显的胚性愈伤发育而来，胚性愈伤分化率明显低于IK处理，仅为28.6%。此外，IK处理中的外植体在培养过程中大部分都出现了须根，而DK处理中则没有。两种处理中出现了两种不同的体细胞胚胎发生过程，组织学观察结果表明DK和IK处理中的体细胞胚分别主要起源于初生形成层和皮层。     

Genetic analysis of in vitro wheat somatic embryogenesis

Summary A spring wheat genotype which produces somatic embryos in vitro, after short and long-term culture, was tested for its ability to sexually transmit this embryogenic trait. Reciprocal crosses were performed between a embryogenic line and a nonembryogenic variety.Immature embryos were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium plus 2 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, gelled with 5.5 g/l agarose. Somatic embryogenesis was not expressed in the F₁'s. In contrast, from several hundred immature embryos of the F₂ generation of one cross, 10.7% and 1.6% expressed somatic embryogenesis in short and long-term cultures respectively. These percentages of embryogenic: non-embryogenic fits a model of a few complementary genes. The embryogenic capacity of the F₂ genotypes depends on the presence of recessive alleles at these gene loci. The long-term wheat somatic embryogenesis capacity requires a more complex mechanism than the short-term one.Abbreviations CS Chinese Spring - Aq Aquila - E Embryogenic - NE Nonembryogenic - SC Subculture

陆地棉体细胞胚胎发生过程中的细胞外基质研究

 研究棉花体细胞胚胎发生对于促进棉花基因工程育种具有重要意义。利用扫描电镜和透射电镜对陆地棉体细胞胚胎发生过程的研究发现,细胞外基质在棉花体细胞胚胎发生的不同阶段呈现出有规律的动态变化。当普通愈伤组织细胞发育成胚性愈伤组织时,细胞外基质就会出现;随着原胚的形成,细胞外基质就会形成发达的网络状结构;随着胚状体的进一步形成和发育,细胞外基质则逐渐降解。在愈伤组织和非胚性愈伤组织中,始终未发现细胞外基质。结果表明,细胞外基质与体细胞胚胎发生能力关系密切,是原胚形成的重要标记。     

内源激素对黄姜体细胞胚发生的影响

以不同的培养基诱导外植体以建立优良的体细胞胚胎发生系统,并结合其发育过程中内源激素含量的动态变化,进一步探讨黄姜体细胞胚胎发生机理。选择2a生新鲜优良盾叶薯蓣41号,取以腋芽萌发而来的无菌枝条切段,采用MS+BA 1.5 mg/L+NAA 0.5 mg/L、LS+BA1.5mg/L和l/2 MS+NAA 1.0mg/L为诱导培养基,对培养过程中的内源激素的动态变化进行了分析。结果表明,高含量的生长素（IAA）、细胞分裂素（Z、ZR）和赤霉酸（GA3）有利于胚性细胞的形成。可为黄姜愈伤组织及体细胞胚胎形成的调控作用提供理论的参考依据,也可为其它植物的组织培养提供参考。

The effect of in planta TIBA and proline treatment on somatic embryogenesis of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

The effect of in planta TIBA and L-proline onin vitro seedlings and cell culture of sugar beet was investigated. Sterilized seeds were grownin vitro on 1/2 MS medium supplemented with 0 or3 mg/l TIBA. Calli obtained on young leaves cultured on MS medium containing 1 mg/l BAP, were used for the initiation of cell suspension cultures using MS basal composition supplemented with 0 or 50 mM proline. Aliquots of 1 ml from cell suspension culture were inoculated onto the first somatic embryo induction MS medium containing TIBA 0.5 mg/l, BAP 1.0 mg/l, and proline at 0 or 50 mM. After three weeks of culture, embryogenic calli were transferred to the second embryo induction medium supplemented with NAA and BAP at 0.2 and 0.5 mg/l, respectively. The frequency of somatic embryos of calli obtained from in plantaTIBA together with proline treatments on average was20 which was higher than that of the other treatments.

TDZ对橡胶树花药愈伤组织诱导和体细胞胚发生的影响

为了提高橡胶树优良品种的愈伤组织诱导和体细胞胚发生的频率,促进其花药植株再生体系的优化,以橡胶树品种‘云研73-477’、‘热垦525’和‘云研77-2’的花药为外植体,研究不同浓度的TDZ对愈伤组织诱导和细胞胚胎发生能力的影响。结果表明,在愈伤组织诱导实验中,MS+TDZ 0.2 mg/L+ 6-BA 1 mg/L+2,4-D 1.5 mg/L+NAA 0.5 mg/L+椰子水50 mL/L+蔗糖70 g/L效果最好,诱导率均达到最大,分别为98%、98.67%、28.6%,当TDZ浓度逐步升高时,其诱导率又有所下降。在体细胞胚诱导实验中,愈伤组织诱导阶段加入TDZ对体细胞胚的发生有抑制作用;将愈伤组织转移到不含TDZ的培养基中继代增殖后,体细胞胚的诱导率随继代次数的增加呈上升趋势;愈伤诱导阶段使用的TDZ浓度越低越利于体细胞胚的分化;在体胚诱导阶段以TDZ代替KT后,体细胞胚诱导率较低,且分化出的体胚为畸形胚。这表明TDZ虽然有利于愈伤组织的产生和生长,但不利于体细胞胚的发生。     

Somatic Embryogenesis in Hypocotyl Protoplast Culture of Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

By using a system of agirose plating and agarose bead culture, it was possible to induce efficient somatic embryogenesis in protoplast-derived calli of two rapeseed varieties, ‘Ceres’ and ‘Duplo’. Protoplasts were isolated from hypocotyls. For the initial protoplast culture a modified 8P medium was employed containing 2,4D (1.0 mg/l), NAA (0.1 mg/ 1), BAP (0.4 mg/l) and mannitol (7 %). After microcalli were obtained in four weeks, somatic embryos were induced by a two-step method. This involved a modified MS medium containing 2,4D (3.0 mg/l) in the first step and no 2,4D, but BAP (3.0 mg/l) and GA₃ (0.1 mg/l) in the second. This procedure also secured plant regeneration.

禾谷镰刀菌粗毒素对小麦幼胚培养特性及再生R1、R2代植株的抗赤霉病性影响

研究了禾谷镰刀菌粗毒素对小麦幼胚培养特性的影响和再生R1、R2代植株的抗赤霉病性变异,结果表明,粗毒素对3个不同基因型幼胚的愈伤组织诱导、胚芽萌发及胚性愈伤组织形成和绿苗分化的影响有相同的趋势。①毒素浓度为6.0g/L时,愈伤组织生长受明显地抑制,但胚芽萌发生长受到促进,低于此浓度时,毒素对愈伤组织的生长有一定的促进作用;②毒素对胚性愈伤组织形成和苗分化均有较大的抑制作用,其中对前者的抑制作用最强;③适宜的粗毒素筛选浓度为1.5g/L~4.5g/L,在这一浓度范围内对愈伤组织形成无影响,而对胚性愈伤组织和苗分化有明显抑制,但又能使其保持有一定的分化能力。④经毒素筛选的抗耐毒素细胞系再生R1代植株中,抗病穗的比例明显提高,R2代再生植株的抗赤霉病性分离,并趋向于感病方的分离。     

Continuous Plant Regeneration from Established Embryogenic Cell Suspension Cultures of Italian Ryegrass and Tall Fescue

The suitability of different protocols was compared for entire plant regeneration by somatic embryogenesis, of the forage plants Lolium multiflorum Lam. (Italian ryegrass) and Festuca arundinacea Schreb. (tall fescue). In the first protocol, miniature embryos were used as starting material, while mature seeds were retained in the other two. Whichever the considered protocol, undifferentiated calli were produced on Murashige and Skoog MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D. The calli were subcultured in the dark on solid MS agar medium, containing 5 mg/1 2,4-D (protocol 2) or on solid MS medium followed by transfer to a rotated liquid MS medium with 2 mg/1 2,4-D (protocol 1). In these conditions, induction of somatic embryogenesis occurred, and whole plants were regenerated during a limited lapse of time, upon transfer in the light, to MS medium supplemented with BAP but devoid of 2,4-D. The simultaneous elimination of 2,4-D and transfer to light appeared essential for full regeneration of the plants. Using this characteristic, an additional step was added to a new protocol (protocol 3) in which microcalli, cultured on liquid MS medium containing 5 mg/1 2,4-D, were transferred to the same medium with 2 mg/1 2,4-D, in the dark. In these conditions, the suspensions kept their embryogenic potential for months. In all cases, plantlets were successfully transferred into the soil. An evaluation of the somaclonal variation potential of the plants issued from each protocol is now underway.

Analysis of genetic variability in various tissue culture-derived lemon plant populations using RAPD and flow cytometry

Five populations of lemon plants [Citrus limon (L.) Burm] obtained from undeveloped ovules through different tissue culture procedures were examined for the presence of somaclonal and irradiation-induced genetic variation. Tested groups were: (1) nucellar seedlings; (2) organogenic, regenerated via adventitious buds from nucellar seedling internodes; (3) embryogenic population, regenerated from non-irradiated nucellar callus via somatic embryogenesis; (4) embryogenic population, regenerated from irradiated nucellar callus via somatic embryogenesis; and (5) protoplast-derived, regenerated via somatic embryogenesis. Genomic DNA samples from 360 plants (72 from each group) were screened for polymorphism among RAPD fingerprints amplified by 10 decamer primers. Among all tested plants, genetic variation was detected only within the group of plants recovered from irradiated embryogenic calli. Out of 72 plants from that group, three had RAPD fingerprints different from the rest of the population, and fourth plant was found to be cytochimeric, consisting of diploid and tetraploid cells as revealed by flow cytometry. In all other populations of regenerated plants, we did not come across any plants with changed ploidy level.     

低酚陆地棉直接体细胞胚胎发生和植株再生

选用低酚陆地棉无菌苗下胚轴为材料进行全固体组织培养,直接诱导获得了胚性愈伤组织,并进一步分化为再生植株.结果表明,激素是影响棉花直接体细胞胚胎发生的重要因素.MSB培养基中添加2,4-D有利于愈伤组织的形成,却不能直接诱导获得胚性愈伤组织.MSB培养基中添加IBA和BA也不能直接诱导获得胚性愈伤组织.MSB培养基附加适当浓度的IBA和KT能直接诱导出胚性愈伤组织.最适激素组合(1.0 mg/L IBA,0.5 mg/L KT)能使诱导棉花下胚轴产生大量胚性愈伤组织,并且在3个月内就可肉眼观察到不同发育时期的胚.MSB培养基中附加1.0 g/L谷氨酰胺和0.5 g/L天门冬酰胺有利于胚萌发成苗.本研究建立了简便高效的棉花直接体细胞胚胎发生和植株再生培养体系,从胚性愈伤组织诱导到植株再生约需5～6个月时间.
