Callus induction and plant regeneration from cotyledonary explants of ash gourd (Benincasa hispida L.)

A protocol for the production of complete plantlets through multiple shoots from the cotyledon-derived calli of ash gourd (Benincasa hispida L.) is described. The embryos were excised from mature seeds and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurin (BAP, 1–5 μM). After 10 days the well-developed green cotyledons from the growing embryos were isolated and cultured on MS medium fortified with 2,4-D (1–6 μM). The cultured cotyledons gave rise to luxuriantly growing calli after 6 weeks. These calli were subcultured on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of BAP (1–6 μM) alone or in combination with naphthalene acetic acid (NAA, 0.2 and 0.5 μM) for regeneration. The regenerated shoots were multiplied and rooted on quarter strength MS medium supplemented with indole-3-butyric acid or NAA (1–5 μM). The rooted shoots were transplanted to soil with 90% success.     

利用未成熟种子建立野生阿宽蕉胚性细胞悬浮系和植株再生的研究

以纵切的野生阿宽蕉60d龄未成熟种子为外植体,在MI1愈伤组织诱导培养基(MS大量和微量元素及铁盐+MorelandWetmore维生素+0.1mmol/LKH2PO4+87mmol/L蔗糖+4.5μmol/L2,4-D+1g/LGelrite)中培养60d后开始出现浅黄色松散的胚性愈伤组织,150d后愈伤组织诱导率为(15.11±1.95)%。该类愈伤组织被转移到含18μmol/L2,4-D的MI2培养基中继代60d后,可获得状态均一的理想的胚性愈伤组织。胚性愈伤组织悬浮培养后,通过2个月的筛选和继代培养,可得到均质的胚性细胞悬浮系。理想的胚性愈伤组织在体细胞胚诱导培养基中培养10d后可见到白色半透明体细胞胚的发生,体细胞胚诱导率为7.70×105个/gFW。成熟体细胞胚的萌发率为(33.33±3.37)%,植株再生率为(20.83±1.68)%。     

Establishment of efficient regeneration protocol from leaf explants of Iris pumila shoots cultured in vitro

An efficient plant regeneration protocol via somatic embyogenesis by leaf base culture of in vitro grown Iris pumila shoots was developed. Induction of embryogenic calli was achieved on MS media supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), kinetin (4.5 μM, each) and some additives (L-proline, casein hydrolysate, adenine sulphate and tyrosine). Further differentiation of embryogenic calli was achieved on MS hormone-free media, and on media supplemented with either BAP (4.5 μM) or BAP + zeatin (4.5 and 0.2 μM, respectively), which allowed somatic embryos, as well as shoot-like structures to form. Fully developed somatic embryos germinated on an MS hormone-free medium. An anatomical study confirmed that shoot-like structures represented early germinating stages of somatic embryos. Acclimatization of plants derived from somatic embryos was 64% after 1 year and no morphological variation was observed.     

In vitro somatic embryogenesis from Mangifera indica L. callus

The nucellus and globular adventitious proembryos were removed from 2-month-old fruits of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cultivars ‘Ono’ and ‘Chino’, and were cultured on sterile, solid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium that had been modified as follows: half-strength major salts and chelated iron; 20% (v/v) coconut water (CW); 6% sucrose; 100 mg l^?1 ascorbic acid and 400 mg l^?1 glutamine. Embryogenic explants were sub-cultured after 4–6 weeks in liquid modified MS medium containing 2 mg l^?1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) instead of CW. Rapidly growing cultures were established and were sub-cultured monthly. Somatic embryogenesis was induced following sub-culture from MS medium with 2,4-D to MS without growth regulators and with or without activated charcoal (0.5%). Germination of somatic embryos appeared to be enhanced by 1 mg l^?1 benzyladenine (BA); however, most of the germinating embryos became embryogenic.     

Recurrent somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in Coriandrum sativum L.

An efficient method of repetitive somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration was established in Coriandrum sativum L. Embryogenic callus was induced from cotyledon and hypocotyl segments on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 4.52 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), upon subculturing on medium having same level of 2,4-D at an interval of 3 weeks developed somatic embryos, which progressed to cotyledonary stage through early developmental stages of somatic embryogenesis. The transfer of somatic embryos at an early cotyledonary and cotyledonary stage in clumps in succession to fresh 4.52 μM 2,4-D supplemented medium developed embryos in a cyclic manner. Upon transferal to embryogenic clumps (cotyledonary embryos) to modified MS medium (4 g l⁻¹ KNO₃, 0.29 g l⁻¹ NH₄NO₃, 3 mg l⁻¹ thiamine HCl, 0.5 mg l⁻¹ pyridoxine HCl, and 5 mg l⁻¹ nicotinic acid), the embryos irrespective of the cycles underwent maturation and germination. Germinating embryos transferred to half-strength MS medium favored healthy growth of plantlets. The system of recurrent somatic embryogenesis in coriander offers a system for genes transfer and also scale-up production of modified plants.     

Establishment and plant regeneration of somatic embryogenic cell suspension cultures of the Zingiber officinale Rosc.

Somatic embryogenic cell suspension cultures of four ginger cultivars were established. Somatic embryogenic calli were induced from ginger shoot tips on MS agar medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l⁻¹ 2,4-D and 0.2 mg l⁻¹ Kn, which contained only half concentration of NH₄NO₃. Rapid-growing and well-dispersed suspension cultures were established by subculturing this kind of callus in the same liquid MSN medium. The suspension cultures (about 1–2 mm in diameter) were placed on the MSN agar medium for callus proliferation. Thereafter embryogenic callus (1.5 cm²) was transferred to solid media (MS + 0.2 mg l⁻¹ 2,4-D + 5.0 mg l⁻¹ BA + 3% sucrose + 0.7% agar). Somatic embryos produced shoots and roots, and shoots developed into complete plantlets on solid MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg l⁻¹ BA and 0.1 mg l⁻¹ NAA. The relationship between the DW of suspension cultures and pH changes in medium is also discussed. The suspension cultures still kept their vitalities after subculture for 8 months.

Induction of somatic embryogenesis in lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Geartn.)

Callus induction and somatic embryogenesis of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) cv. Satabankacha were studied. Callus was initiated by culturing bud, cotyledon, and young leaf explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) (1962) medium containing a combination of 0, 4, 8 and 10 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and 0, 1, 2 and 3 μM 6-furfuryl amino purine (kinetin) or substituting 0, 0.5 and 1 μM benzyladenine (BA) for kinetin. Bud explants cultured on medium containing 4 μM 2,4-D and 1 μM BA gave the best callus growth. For somatic embryogenesis, the calli initiated on MS medium containing a combination of 4, 6, 8 and 10 μM 2,4-D and 1 μM BA and subsequently transferred to media containing 2–4 μM 2,4-D and 0 or 0.5 μM BA produced the most somatic embryos. When cultures were 12-week-old, callus produced on medium with 6 μM 2,4-D and 1 μM BA showed the best growth for somatic embryo regeneration. When transferred to a medium with 2 μM 2,4-D and 0.5 μM BA somatic embryos were produced from 33% of the calli. Embryos developed to the stage proembryo within 4 weeks and formed globular, heart, torpedo and mature embryos within 16 weeks.     

Effect of sucrose concentrations on somatic embryogenesis in carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.)

The effect of sucrose concentration on callus induction followed by differentiation of embryogenic callus derived from petal explants of four carnation cultivars (Nelson, Sagres, Spirit and Impulse) was investigated. Embryogenic calli were produced on Murashige and Skoog [Murashige, T., Skoog, F.A., 1962. Revised medium for rapid growth and bioassays with tobacco tissue cultures. Physiol. Plant 154, 73–479] basal medium (MS) culture medium containing six concentrations of sucrose (3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18%, w/v) all supplemented with 9 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 0.8 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA). Maximum frequency of embryogenic callus was obtained from the media containing 9 and 12% sucrose. Somatic embryos were induced on a hormone-free MS media containing the seven concentrations of sucrose. Development of somatic embryos was enhanced by increasing sucrose concentration from 1.5 to 12%, while it was reduced in higher concentrations of 15 and 18%. However, normal embryos were not developed in the media containing 1.5 and 3% sucrose. Ninety-five percent of somatic embryos were regenerated to form the entire plantlets when they transferred onto the half-strength hormone-free MS culture medium containing 3% sucrose. Plantlets were also continued to grow normally under greenhouse condition.

Clonal propagation of mulberry (Morus indica L. cultivar M-5) through in vitro culture of nodal explants

A high frequency of sprouting (80.0%) and shoot differentiation was observed in the primary cultures of nodal explants of Morus indica L. cultivar M-5 on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D (0.3 mg/l). In vitro proliferated shoots were multiplied rapidly by culture of shoot tips on MS medium with BAP (0.5 and 1.0 mg/l) which produced the greatest multiple shoot formation. Multiplication was also achieved by culture of shoot tips on MS medium with BAP (4.0 mg/l) and GA₃ (0.05 mg/l) which facilitated the elongation of shoots followed by sprouting of axillary buds of in vitro grown shoots. A high frequency of rooting (86.7%) with development of healthy roots was observed from shoots cultured on medium with 2,4-D (1.0 mg/l). Plants with well developed roots were transferred to soil with a survival frequency of 80%.

Somatic embryogenesis in a broad spectrum of grape genotypes

Somatic embryogenesis is the preferred method for cell-to-plant regeneration of grapevine. In this study, we tested the embryogenic capacity of anther-derived calli from 59 grape genotypes, representing a diverse group of Vitis vinifera and hybrid varieties, and hybrids and accessions of non-vinifera Vitis species. Most genotypes were tested on two types of media: MST1 medium, which contained plant growth regulators (PGRs) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and thidiazuron (TDZ), and MSE medium, which contained 2,4-D and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Twenty-four of the grape genotypes produced embryogenic callus on one or both of these media, eighteen of which have not been reported to form somatic embryos before. The results also suggested that the various PGR combinations are differentially effective at inducing somatic embryos in various classes of grape genotypes. For example, seven of the eight V. vinifera conv. occidentalis varieties brought forth somatic embryos on MSE medium, and three out of four American Vitis genotypes produced somatic embryos on MST1 medium. We could not observe any apparent association between frequency of callus formation and embryogenic capacity of the anthers.     

Callus induction and plant regeneration from lateral shoots of herbaceous bamboo Mniochloa abersend

Callus induction and plant regeneration of Mniochloa abersend via lateral shoots were conducted in this study. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 1.0 mg/L naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) was effective for compact callus induction. Remarkably, calli on the MS medium with 0.1 mg/L 2,4-D yielded the highest folds of proliferation (8.01), and showed a high potential capacity to differentiate 1 year after subculture. In addition, the compact calli possessed 100% differentiation rate and generated more shoots that were green and strong in 1.0 mg/L kinetin and 1.0 mg/L NAA. Vigorous roots were generated in the 1/2MS supplemented with 0.5 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid, and the resultant plantlets exhibited 90% survival rate after they were hardened and transplanted. The established regeneration system of M. abersend provides a promising platform for bamboo gene function study.

Low concentrations of BAP and high rate of subcultures improve the establishment and multiplication of somatic embryos in date palm suspension cultures by limiting oxidative browning associated with high levels of total phenols and peroxidase activities

Taking into account the recalcitrance of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) to tissue culture, establishment and proliferation of embryogenic suspension cultures in two date palm cultivars, namely Boufeggouss (BFG) and Bouskri (BSK) was implemented using liquid medium with different concentrations of the 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) (0.3, 0.4, 0.5 mg/l) and various subculturing times (7 days, 15 days and 20 days). Total phenols and peroxidase activities have been determined and oxidative browning process checked in different cultures. The liquid medium with 0.3 mg/l BAP allowed cell suspension cultures to produce the greater globular embryos and the highest number of somatic embryos in comparison with the other treatment for BFG and BSK date palm cultivars. The low rate of culture transfers (every 15 or 20 days) tended to increase the phenolic contents and peroxidase activities in plant tissue leading to an enhancement of tissues/cells browning and then a decrease in the proliferation of embryogenic cells. The transfer of cultures on fresh medium every 7 days allowed a substantial reduction of tissue/cell oxidative browning, which is related to reduction of phenolic compounds and decrease in peroxidase activities with a resultant increase in the proliferation of embryogenic cells. This result suggests that oxidative browning is mainly peroxidase-based in date palm suspension cultures. Relationships between low concentrations of BAP as cytokinin, high growth of embryogenic cells, low contents of phenolics, decrease of peroxidase activities and oxidative browning process, are discussed, in order to optimize date palm multiplication through somatic embryogenesis and solve recalcitrance of many date palm cultivars to tissue culture.
