植物组织培养:最新进展和潜在的应用(英文)

植物组织培养体系在基础研究和商业应用中具有巨大的潜能,例如园艺产业。组织培养过程伴随着一系列关于形态学、生理学、生物化学、分子和表观遗传的改变。分子水平的改变主要包括基因突变、DNA重组、染色体变异和表观遗传调控(DNA甲基化、组蛋白修饰、染色质重塑、小RNA调节)。这些改变被认为能促进外植体对培养环境的适应并有益于随后的形态发生。目前,组培已在商业应用和细胞生物学、遗传学、生物化学等基本研究中发挥了重要作用。本文重点介绍了植物组织培养的原理概念、培养基的制作、外植体的选择、各种激素的作用机理、植物离体快速繁殖的3大难题(外植体的污染、褐变、试管苗的玻璃化)以及防止措施,并详细阐述了植物离体快繁、无病毒苗木培育、培养细胞突变体、人工种子和离体培养期间分子水平的变化。

Plant Tissue Culture: A Recent Progress and Potential Applications

Plant tissue culture systems have enormous potential in fundamental re- search and for commercial applications such as horticultural industry. The process of tissue culture is companied with a series of changes in respect to morphology, physiology, biochemistry, molecule and epigenetics. The changes at molecule levels mainly include genetic variation, DNA sequence variation, chromosomal variation and epigenetic regulation （DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin remodeling, small RNA regulation）. These changes are believed to facilitate explant adaptation to culture conditions and to help subsequent morphogenesis processes. Nowadays, it has played a crucial part in commercial applications and in basic research into cell biology, genetics and biochemistry, etc. In present review, we shed light on the fun- damental of plant tissue culture, culture medium preparation, explant selection, mechanism of action of various hormones, the three major problems （explant pollu- tion, browning, plantlets vitrification） and the prevention measures in tissue culture, and elaborated on in vitro propagation of plants, virus-free seedling cultivation, cry- opreservation, artificial seeds and molecule levels changes during in vitro culture further.
