In vitro induction of tetraploid plants from colchicine-treated diploid daylily callus

Summary Daylily plantlets with tetraploid or octaploid chromosome numbers were induced from colchicine-treated diploid callus (2n=22). Callus tissue of the daylily Hemerocallis flava L. was placed on a morphogenetic induction medium, a modified MS formula supplemented with 1 mg 2,4-D and 1 mg kinetin/liter, plus 0,10, 20, or 40 mg/liter colchicine in the dark at 12°C for 3 days and recuperated for 1 week under the same environmental conditions except that colchicine was left out. The calluses were then returned to the normal growth temperature 25°C. Ploidy was identified by chromosome counts of squashed root-tip cells collected from the newly potted plantlets and later by measurements of stomates and pollen grains. Over 50% of the plants initiated from the colchicine-treated calluses were completely tetraploid. All of the plantlets differentiated from untreated callus had a diploid number of 22. Of the 3 colchicine levels applied, the 20 mg/liter treatment appeared to be the most effective in production of tetraploidy.     

Somatic cell genetic studies inBrassica species. II. Production of androgenetic haploid plants inBrassica nigra (L.)Koch

Summary Callus growth and its subsequent regeneration into complete plantlets was achieved from in vitro cultured anthers ofBrassica nigra (L.)Koch. Callus was induced on a modified N6 medium containing trace elements, organics of B5 medium and 2 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Morphogenesis of callus in the form of shoots on MS medium containing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and N⁶-benzyladenine (BA) 0.5 mg/l each and embryoids on MS medium containing 0.5–1.0 mg/l IAA and 3.0–5.0 mg/l BA could be accomplished. Chromosomal analysis revealed presence of 41% haploids (n=8) amongst the regenerated plants.

Induction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Anthurium andraeanum</Emphasis> “Arizona” tetraploid by colchicine in vitro

Tetraploids plants of Anthurium andraeanum “Arizona” were successfully induced after treating diploid tissue masses with colchicine. Masses originating from diploid aerial roots were treated with colchicine at three different concentrations (i.e., 0.1, 0.2, 0.3%) for about 3, 5 and 7 h, and then were transferred into Murashige and Skoog medium containing 3 mg/l BAP + 0.2 mg/l 2,4-D. After 60 days, the survival rate and numbers of regenerative shoots were scored. The high concentration and longer duration sharply reduced survival rate. In contrast, the regeneration of plantlets was not noticeably affected by colchicine. Tetraploid plants were obtained in all treatments, but the percentage of induced tetraploids ranged from 0.2 to 7.6%. The best induction was obtained with a 5-h, treatment with 0.3% colchicine. The stomatal size of tetraploid plants was larger than in diploid plants; however, the stomatal density was lower than in diploid plants. Tetraploid plants possessed stronger petioles, thicker and deeper green leaves, and thicker and longer lived spathes in comparison with diploid plants. Abnormal spathes, such as double spathes or those lacking pedicels, were observed in tetraploid plants. Tetraploid plantlets could be regenerated via aerial roots; this technique could be applied to tetraploid plant propagation.

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. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Efficient In Vitro Shoot-regeneration Systems in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

Two different protocols for in vitro regeneration of cassava using zygotic embryos and nodal axillary meristems have been developed. In both cases, buds were regenerated directly from excised explants without an intervening callus phase after a two-step culture procedure. In cotyledonary explants derived from zygotic embryos, prolific shoot formation occurred within 2—3 weeks on MS medium supplemented with 0.5—5 mg/1 BAP alone or in combination with 0.1 mg/1 NAA. Nodal explants with axillary meristems derived from aseptically grown seedlings or stem cuttings were used to initiate a round compact bulb-like structure on MS medium containing 10 mg/1 BAP. These latter structures, when cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/1 NAA, 1 mg/1 BAP and 0.1 mg/1 GA₃, produced multiple shoots. Somatic embryos isolated at the globular/torpedo stage from zygotic embryo explants were also capable of multiple shoot production on medium with 1 mg/1 BAP. Rooting of regenerated shoots exceeded 95 % in phytohormone-free MS medium. No change in their ploidy levels was observed. Therefore, the protocols developed should be of use in the particle gun and Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of cassava.     

杜仲愈伤组织诱导及胚性愈伤组织的判别

为探索杜仲胚性愈伤组织诱导的条件,建立杜仲体细胞胚胎发生初步体系,以杜仲幼嫩叶片和未成熟合子胚为外植体、MS为基本培养基,探究外源激素配比、未成熟合子胚发育阶段与基因型对愈伤组织诱导的影响,并从形态学和细胞学对愈伤组织进行胚性的判断。试验结果表明：4种不同激素配比的培养基诱导出的叶片愈伤组织在形态上具有差异,MS+ 2,4-D 2 mg/L+ 6-BA 1 mg/L和MS+ 2,4-D 2 mg/L+6-BA 0.5 mg/L有利于叶片胚性愈伤组织诱导;在培养基MS+ 2,4-D 2 mg/L+ 6-BA 1 mg/L上,以未成熟合子胚为外植体诱导出4种类型愈伤组织,其中圆球形和颗粒型突起的愈伤组织具有胚性;未成熟合子胚采集时间对愈伤组织诱导率具有显著差异,6月14日采集的外植体愈伤诱导率最高,不同基因型差异不显著。     

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.     

Callus formation and plantlet regeneration from immature Triticum durum Desf. embryos

Summary Experiments upon in vitro culture of immature durum wheat embryos, harvested at different growth stages, were made in two consecutive years. Callus formation and plantlet regeneration were obtained. The ability to form callus and the degree of morphogenetic processes varied with the different hormonal treatments used and with the age of the embryos. In the first year the best response for callus growth was observed with 2,4-D 2 mg l^-1 plus adenine 50 mg l^-1 or 2,4-D 5 mg l^-1 alone in the more mature embryos (15 and 20 days after anthesis). On the contrary, NAA 5 mg l^-1 had a greater shoot regeneration effect. In the next year, at all 2,4-D concentrations and for the two different ages of the embryos tested, all embryos formed callus. Regeneration of plantlets was obtained in higher percentage in calli originated from the more developed embryos. The effect of changed media upon plantlet regeneration was studied after callus transplant.Investigation by cytophotometry and chromosome counts on different calli showed, practically in all cells, a diploid condition. A histological analysis demonstrated embryogenic somatic characteristics in many samples of callus. The pattern of organogenesis seemed to be via adventitious bud formation but structures resembling embryoids were also observed in the callus.

Plant Regeneration from Callus Cultures of Brassica carinata A. Br. and its Implications to Improvement of Oil Seed Brassicas

Protocols of plant regeneration have been developed for Brassica carinata for creating somaclonal variation for plant type and adaptability, so that this species can fit into cropping systems in Indian agriculture. The response of cotyledonary and stem explants was assessed for callus induction and shoot regeneration on MS and B₅ basal media containing different combinations of auxin and cytokinin concentrations. MS medium supplemented with BA and NAA favoured callus induction. Supplementing MS with combinations of BA and IAA, as also with BA alone, regenerated shoots from the ex pi ants with a high frequency. The frequency of shoot regeneration and the mean number of shoots per explant were higher in cotyledons than in stem explants on identical growth regulator combinations. On B₅ medium, supplemented with BA (2 mg/l) and IBA (0.4 mg/l), compact callus was produced which regenerated shoots on transfer to medium containing BA (0.8 mg/l). Genotypic differences among carinata accessions for regeneration were also observed.     

Plant regeneration from immature inflorescence callus cultures of wheat,rye and triticale

Summary Callus cultures were initiated from inflorescence explants of wheat, rye and triticale on MS medium supplemented with 2 mgl^-1 2,4-D+5% CW or 2 mgl^-1 2,4-D+0.5 mgl^-1 BA. On transfer of the cultures to medium supplemented with 15% CW+0.2 mgl^-1 NAA or 1 mgl^-1 BA+0.1 mgl^-1 IAA, shoot buds and embryoids were produced. Full fledged plantlets obtained on MS medium supplemented with NAA were transferred to the field. Cytological analysis showed the plants to be diploid. However, the regenerated plantlets were shorter, produced fewer tillers and had lower fertility compared to the control.Abbreviations BA Benzyladenine - CW coconut water - IAA indoleacetic acid - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid     

BA和NAA对水曲柳(Fraxinus mandshurica)未成熟胚子叶外植体褐化及体胚发生的影响

为了解析植物生长调节剂与水曲柳体细胞胚胎发生普遍伴随外植体褐化现象的关系,本研究以水曲柳未成熟合子胚子叶为外植体进行体胚发生,对细胞分裂素BA和生长素NAA的影响效应进行了探讨。结果表明,(1)当培养基中添加0.5mg/LBA和1.5mg/LNAA时,产生体胚的外植体褐化率达到91.5%;褐化外植体的体胚发生率达50.8%,而未褐化外植体的体胚发生率仅为9.6%;(2)添加NAA是水曲柳未成熟合子胚子叶外植体褐化的充分必要条件,即:无NAA存在时,未成熟合子胚子叶外植体不发生褐化,有NAA存在时才会发生褐化;只添加NAA外植体会产生褐化,但褐化程度低于同时添加BA,说明BA是促进褐化的条件;(3)添加NAA与BA是水曲柳未成熟合子胚外植体发生体胚的必要条件,即不添加生长素和细胞分裂素时无体胚发生;(4)NAA与BA的交互作用对褐化率的影响差异显著,但对体胚发生率的影响差异不显著,说明BA和NAA处理对外植体褐化的作用与对体胚发生的作用不同。由此可知:水曲柳未成熟合子胚子叶外植体的褐化和体细胞胚胎发生均受细胞分裂素BA和生长素NAA的影响,但BA和NAA分别调控了外植体的褐化和体胚的发生,与二者伴随的现象没有关系。本研究结果对进一步深入解析水曲柳体胚发生伴随外植体褐化的生物学机理提供了科学依据。     

Optimization of mature embryo-based high frequency callus induction and plant regeneration from elite wheat cultivars grown in China

We have developed an efficient procedure for plant regeneration of elite wheat cultivars using mature embryos. Firstly, we established the optimal combination of basal media, inoculation method and pretreatment method using biostatistical methods. The results indicated that the combination of MS medium and longitudinally bisected mature embryos showed the highest culture efficiency, whereas the pretreatment method had no significant effects on callus induction or plant regeneration. A 70% primary callus induction rate was achieved on MS medium containing 2 mg/l 2,4‐d for all tested cultivars. Primary calli were then transferred onto the subculture medium to initiate embryogenic calli. Supplementation of the subculture medium with the appropriate combination of phytohormones (2.0 mg/l 2,4‐d , 0.5 mg/l BA and 0.1 mg/l NAA) significantly enhanced embryogenic callus production. The addition of AgNO₃ (10 mg/l) in regeneration medium promoted plant regeneration, whereas CuSO₄ stimulated root formation. The use of this protocol achieved successful plant regeneration in eight tested cultivars. The culture efficiency ranged from 15.3% to 36.8%, suggesting this regeneration system may be an effective alternative for wheat genetic transformation.

Influence of genotype and culture medium on callus formation and plant regeneration from immature embryos of Triticum turgidum Desf. cultivars

Twelve durum wheat cultivars were evaluated for their response to in vitro tissue culture. Zygotic immature embryos were used to induce callus formation using four different Murashige and Skoog‐based media. Each contained 9.05 μM 2,4‐dichlorophenoxy acetic acid but differed in their carbon source (sucrose or maltose) and the presence of NaCl (0 mM or 40 mM). The influence of both genotype and medium on the type and percentage of callus produced was observed. Calli were either compact and frequently embryogenic, or soft and watery. Percentages ranged from 54 to 100%, depending upon genotype and induction medium. All calli were then plated on a regeneration medium containing 20 g/l sucrose, 2.68 μM 1‐naphthaleneacetic acid and 2.22 μ 6‐benzylaminopurine. The regeneration of plantlets was higher from compact than from soft calli, with a strong dependence on genotype and type of induction medium used. MSm induction medium (30 g/l maltose) and MS40s (30 g/l sucrose plus 40 mM NaCl) were best for inducing compact calli, and gave the highest proportion of regenerated plants. The in vitro response (number of total shoots from a compact callus/number of embryos plated) was higher for immature embryos of ‘Baztan’, ‘Bradano’ and ‘Don Pedro’. These cultivars are a good starting material for experiments involving transformation of calli from zygotic immature embryos.

Plant regeneration via organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis in callus cultures derived from mature zygotic embryos of leek (Allium ampeloprasum L.)

Summary A high frequency plant regeneration system via organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis was established with callus cultures derived from mature zygotic embryos of different leek genotypes (Allium ampeloprasum L.). Four different callus types with varying morphogenetic potential were obtained. Relatively high concentrations of the auxin 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid reduced callus weight and subsequent shoot regeneration and primordia formation of the callus. Shoot regeneration and primordia formation of the callus decreased after prolonged subculture on media containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid. A callus growth period of six weeks on Murashige and Skoog medium with 0.25–0.5 mg l^-1 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid showed the highest rate of shoot regeneration after transfer of callus to regeneration medium with 1 mg l^-1 kinetin.Differences between leek genotypes in callus type, callus weight, shoot regeneration and primordia formation were observed. Histological observations showed that plant regeneration took place, both via the pathway of somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis.Abbreviation 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid - MS Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium
