Somatic embryogenesis from ovaries of sweet orange cv. Tobias

Callogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, and regeneration were obtained from tissues of unfertilized ovaries of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck.) cv. Tobias. The influence of two modified basal media, woody plant medium (WPM) and N6 medium, to induce callus formation from pistils was determined. Overall, high frequencies of callogenesis were observed when either medium was used. However, initial culture of explants in WPM medium followed by transfer of callus to N6 medium resulted in higher frequency of callus induction (of 2.30 callus per explant that were larger than 0.5 cm in size), and of subsequent development of embryogenic callus (10%). A total of 125 somatic embryos were obtained. After 6 months of culture, 72% of somatic embryos germinated into plantlets. These plantlets were subsequently micrografted in vitro, and then acclimatized. Ploidy of these plants were determined using flow cytometry and TRAPS molecular markers were used to confirm their maternal origin.     

Cyclic somatic embryogenesis and efficient plant regeneration from callus of safflower

Efficient plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis was established for safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) cv. NARI-6. Embryogenic calli were induced from 10 to 17-d-old cotyledon and leaf explants from in vitro seedlings. High frequency (94.3 %) embryogenic callus was obtained from cotyledon explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog’s germination (MSG) basal medium supplemented with thidiazuron, 2-isopentenyladenine and indole-3-butyric acid. Primary, secondary and cyclic somatic embryos were formed from embryogenic calli in a different media free of plant growth regulators, however, 100 % cyclic somatic embryogenesis was obtained from cotyledon derived embryogenic calli cultured on MSG. Somatic embryos matured and germinated in quarter-strength MSG medium supplemented with gibberellic acid. Cotyledons with root poles or non root poles were converted to normal plantlets and produced adventitious roots in rooting medium. Rooted plants were acclimatized and successfully transferred to the field.     

Regeneration of pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) plant through somatic embryogenesis

An efficient protocol for a complete plant regeneration by somatic embryogenesis was developed with Smooth Cayenne pineapple (Ananas comosus L.). Previous works showed that this species is responsive to somatic embryogenesis. In the present work the influence of components of culture medium in the induction, development and conversion of somatic embryos was investigate in order to establish a somatic embryogenesis protocol. Nodular callus (83.67%) was initiated from leaf explants of young plants on CIM₃ medium. The highest frequency (37.6%) of embryogenic callus induction was obtained from 4-week-old calluses on EIM₃ medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/l picloram. The highly organized callus induction and the development of somatic embryos were achieved after the transfer of callus clumps onto EIM₃ medium containing 1.0 mg/l BAP + 0.1 mg/l NAA. The frequency of somatic embryo formation was of 39.5?±?2.45 embryos per callus. Up to 97% of the somatic embryos were converted into complete plants within 4 week on MSB medium with 1.0 mg/l BAP + 0.05 mg/l GA₃ + 500 mg/l glutamine. The continuation of the elongation of the shoots occurred on this medium). Shoots obtained from all the above methods were rooted in MSB medium with activated charcoal. Complete plantlets were transferred onto specially made polyethylene bags containing soil mixture and transferred to the greenhouse. Survival rate of the plantlets under ex vitro conditions was 98% and maximum average number of plantlets (80?±?0.6). The well-developed plantlets were transferred to an open field where the plants produced normal fruits.

Effect of physical desiccation on plant regeneration efficiency in rice (Oryza sativa L.) variety super basmati

This experiment assessed the effect of partial physical desiccation on plant regeneration efficiency in scutellum-derived embryogenic calluses of rice (Oryza sativa L.) variety Super basmati. A number of callusing cultures were developed, and efficient callus induction was observed on MS (Murashige and Skoog) basal medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid. The calluses were proliferated on the same medium for 3 weeks and then shifted to dehydration desiccation treatment for 72 h. The desiccated calluses were cultured on different media for somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration. A medium with 2.0 mg/L α-napthaleneacetic acid, 10.0 mg/L abscisic acid , 2.0 mg/L kinetin was best for somatic embryogenesis only, but not for further plant development. After 10 d, differentiated calluses were sub-cultured on medium with various concentrations and types of carbohydrates (carbon source) in ¹MS_2j medium. A large number of plantlets (14.51±2.81 and 8.56±2.90 plants/callus) were regenerated via chemical desiccation, on MS with 3% maltose+3% sorbitol and 6% sucrose, respectively. Under dehydration on only simple MS (3% sucrose), 11.23±3.22 plants/callus were developed. Under conditions of dehydration and chemical desiccation, plant regeneration rates were higher than the calluses cultured on simple MS medium in the presence of plant growth regulator. After somatic embryogenesis, >25% plants were sterile. The protocol used here may allow maximum regeneration of normal and fertile plantlets of super basmati rice within 3 months.     

Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis in cotton

An efficient in vitro plant regeneration system characterized by rapid and continuous production of somatic embryos using leaf and stem explants of abnormal seedling as an explant have been developed in Gossypium hirsutum L. Embryogenic callus and somatic embryos have been obtained directly from the explants of cotton abnormal seedlings. Plant growth regulators influenced the induction of cotton somatic embryogenesis. The optimal medium for direct somatic embryogenesis was modified MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg l^-1 ZT and 2 g l^-1 activated carbon. On this medium, an average of 28.0 and 28.1 matured somatic embryos formed from per leaf and stem explants respectively. The highest frequency of somatic embryogenesis was 100%. The somatic embryos were converted into normal plantlets when cultured on modified MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg l^-1 ZT. Upon transfer to soil, plants grew well and appeared normal. Plants could be regenerated within 60–80 days. The system of cotton somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration described here will facilitate the application of plant tissue culture and genetic engineering on cotton genetic improvement.

Somatic embryogenesis,encapsulation, and plant regeneration of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rotula aquatica</Emphasis> lour., a rare rhoeophytic woody medicinal plant

Summary Indirect somatic embryogenesis, encapsulation, and plant regeneration was achieved with the rare rhoeophytic woody medicinal plant Rotula aquatica Lour. (Boraginaceae). Friable callus developed from leaf and internode explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 0.45 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic, acid (2,4-D) was most effective for the induction of somatic embryos. Subculture of the callus onto half-strength MS medium with the same concentration of 2,4-D resulted in highly embryogenic callus. Suspension culture was superior to solid medium culture for somatic embryogenesis. Embryogenic callus.during subsequent transfer to suspension cultures of half-strength MS medium having 0.23 μM 2,4-D induced the highest number of somatic embryos (a mean of 25.6 embryos per 100 mg callus) and the embryos were grown up to the torpedo stage. Transfer of embryos to half-strength MS basal solid medium allowed development, of 50% of the embryos to the cotyledonary stage. Of the cotyledonary embryos, 90% underwent conversion to plantlets on the same medium. Encapsulated cotyledonary embryos exhibited 100% conversion to plantlets. Ninety-five percent of the plantlets established in field conditions survived, and were morphologically identical to the mother plant.     

Efficient protocols for in vitro regeneration of Pennisetum glaucum (L) Br

A system was developed for in vitro regeneration of Pennisetum glaucum through organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis. Mature embryo and leaf base explants of Pennisetum glaucum (L) Br. cv HH B60 (Poaceae) were cultured on Murashige and Skoog agar medium supplemented with 11.3 microM of 2,4-D for callus induction. Embryogenic calli were induced within eight weeks. Percentage of callus induction and somatic embryogenesis was significantly higher in mature embryo than leaf base explants. Maximum shoot regeneration was obtained via organogenesis on MS medium supplemented with 4.43 microM of BAP and 4.64 microM of kinetin from the calli of both the explants. The frequency of plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis was comparatively lower than organogenesis. Regeneration frequency was higher in mature embryo explants than leaf base explants. The shoots regenerated via organogenesis were elongated and rooted efficiently on MS medium supplemented with IBA (0.49 microM). The rooted plantlets were hardened and transferred to soil.     

Efficacious somatic embryogenesis and fertile plant recovery from shoot apex explants of onion (Allium cepa. L.)

An efficient somatic embryogenesis and regeneration system was developed for the first time in onion using shoot apex explants. These explants were used to initiate callus in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.0 mg l^?1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The induction frequency of primary callus in this medium was 85.3%. The primary calli were then transferred onto medium supplemented with 2.0 mg l^?1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Following two biweekly subcultures, embryogenic callus formed. Inclusion of a low concentration of 6-benzylaminopurine in the subculture medium promoted the formation of embryogenic callus. The addition of 2.0 mg l^?1 glycine, 690 mg l^?1 proline, and 1.0 g l^?1 casein hydrolysate also increased the frequency of callus induction and embryogenic callus formation. The highest frequency of embryogenic callus (86.9%) and greatest number of somatic embryos (26.3 per callus) were obtained by the further addition of 8.0 mg l^?1 silver nitrate. Somatic embryos formed plantlets on regeneration medium supplemented with 1.5 mg l^?1 6-benzylaminopurine; addition of 2.0 mg l^?1 glycine to the regeneration medium promoted a high frequency of regeneration (78.1%) and plantlet formation (28.7 plants per callus). The regenerated plantlets were transferred to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg l^?1 indole-3-butyric acid for root development; the maximum frequency of root formation was 87.7% and the average number of roots was 7.6 per shoot. The regenerated plantlets were successfully grown to maturity after hardening in the soil. This is the first report of somatic embryogenesis and regeneration from shoot apex explants of onion.     

In vitro development of early proembryos and plant regeneration via microculture in Oryza sativa

Two convenient and efficient microculture techniques (liquid droplet and shallow-layered culture) were used to rear 2-day-old and 3 to 4 day-old proembryos in rice. Among four cultivars, growth rate and frequency of embryogenesis were higher in the japonica cultivars than in the indica cultivars during proembryo culture. Two-day-old proembryos could grow and form callus only in Km8p and N6 among four kinds of tested media, and plantlets regenerated via organogenesis. Plant regeneration from callus initiated from three- and four-day-old proembryos occurred through somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis. For in vitro embryogenesis it was essential to supplement the medium with 14 amino acids and coconut milk. The highest frequency of embryogenesis and the frequency of total induction after 14 days of culture were approximately 42% and 95% for 3-day-old proembryos, and 45% and 100% for 4-day-old proembryos, respectively. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

High frequency of plant regeneration in sunflower from cotyledons via somatic embryogenesis

Summary A plant regeneration methodvia somatic embryogenesis of severalHelianthus annuus L. genotypes was developed. Starting from cotyledonary explants high frequency embryo induction was obtained following several subcultures on defined media. An appropriate cotyledon developmental stage was identified. Etiolated explants and darkness treatment were necessary to obtain somatic embryos in all tested genotypes. After 20–25 days on somatic induction medium containing an auxin:cytokinin ratio of 1:1, the germination of embryos was induced by a reduction of the hormonal ratio (1:2). Shoots were excised from callus and transferred onto a medium containing various vitamins. The range of embryogenesis frequency was 33–72%, depending on the genotype. High frequency of rooting (49–82%) was obtained using a medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L of ancymidol and by a reduction of photoperiod. A large percentage of somatic embryos developed into normal regenerated plants producing viable seeds.Abbreviations MS Murashige and Skoog (1962) - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - BAP benzylaminopurine - GA₃ gibberellic acid - EIM embryo induction medium - GM germination medium - VM vitamins medium - RA2 ancymidol rooting medium - EtOH ethanol

Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration of Gladiolus (Gladiolus hort.)

Summary Friable embryogenic callus and somatic embryos of 4 Gladiolus cultivars were obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with various concentration of auxins from the following explants: corm slices, young leaf bases and whole, intact plantlets. Somatic embryos transferred on MS hormone-free medium regenerated into plantlets. All plantlets obtained through embryogenesis did not differ phenotypically from the parental clones. The embryogenic friable callus has been maintained for over 2 years in culture and has retained a very high regeneration capacity.Abbreviations 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - KIN kinetin - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - MS Murashige and Skoog Medium (1962) - E embryogenic callus - NE non-embryogenic callus     

Plant regeneration in vitro from embryogenic cultures of spring- and winter-type barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) varieties

Summary Immature embryos of 41 lines of barley were screened in vitro for callus induction and somatic embryogenesis on different media to establish totipotent cultures. The use of modified MS and CC media, both supplemented with 1 g/l casein hydrolysate, and the substitution of agarose for agar resulted in the highest frequencies of somatic embryo induction. Embryogenic callus was induced and plants regenerated from 23 of the lines tested. The auxins 2,4-D, dicamba, picloram and 2,4,5-T were suitable for embryogenic callus induction. High frequencies of somatic embryo germination occurred on CC medium supplemented with 1 mg/l IAA and 0.05 mg/l zeatin. A strong genotypic effect on the capacity and frequency of embryogenic callus formation was found. Cultivar Golden Promise always gave the best results. Experiments with field grown material in 3 consecutive years showed that environmental factors also strongly influenced the induction of somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration.Abbreviations 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - 2,4,5-T 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid - dicamba 3,6-dichloro-o-anisic acid - picloram 4-amino-3,6,6-trichloropicolinic acid - NAA naphtaleneacetic acid - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - ABA abscisic acid - BAP 6-benzyl amino purine - 2iP 6-(3-methyl-2 butenyl 1-amino)purine - GA₃ gibberellic acid

The effect of auxin on plant regeneration of wheat,barley and triticale

One of the basic components of a medium influencing somatic embryogenesis of cereals from immature embryos is the type of auxin. According to some researchers, phytohormones can also play an important role during Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. In this first part of research, the influence of three types of auxins used alone or in combination of two on somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in three cereal species has been tested. Eight cultivars of barley, five cultivars of wheat and three cultivars of triticale have been used. Efficiency of plant development on two regeneration media, with and without growth regulators has been compared. Efficiency of regeneration characterized by frequency of explants that form embryogenic callus ranged from 25% for wheat cultivar Torka to 100% for two barley cultivars. Mean number of plantlets regenerating per explant differed significantly (from 2 to 58) depending on the type of auxin in inducing media, the type of regenerating media as well as cultivar. The biggest differences in regeneration efficiency were observed between barley cultivars, however regeneration of plants occurred in all combinations tested. The best regeneration coefficients for most barley cultivars were obtained after culture on dicamba or dicamba with 2,4-D. However, in the case of highly regenerating cv Scarlett, the most effective culture media contained picloram or 2,4-D alone. The highest values of regeneration coefficients for two triticale cultivars (Wanad and Kargo) were obtained on picloram (26.1 and 21.4, respectively) and for `Gabo' on picloram with dicamba (12.6). The range of mean number of regenerated plantlets was from 12 to 30. Dicamba alone or lower concentrations of picloram with 2,4-D were the best media influencing embryogenic callus formation in five wheat cultivars. However, the highest values of regeneration coefficients ranging from 10.6 to 26.8 were obtained at lower concentrations of picloram with 2,4-D or picloram with dicamba. R2 regeneration medium containing growth regulators was significantly better for plantlet development in several combinations (cultivar and induction medium) than the one without growth regulators. Generally, regeneration coefficients for all tested cultivars of three cereal species on the best media were high, ranging from 5.5 for barley cultivar Rodion to 51.6 for another barley cultivar Scarlett. Plantlets developed normally, flowering and setting seed.     

Plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis in callus culture of green bamboo (Bambusa oldhamii Munro)

Summary Young inflorescence explants of green bamboo (Bambusa oldhamii Munro) in culture show a high capacity for plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis. Embryogenic callus was initiated from explants maintained on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 3 mg/l 2,4-D, 2 mg/l kinetin and a high content (60 g/l) of sucrose. Prolonged culture in the embryoid induction medium or transferral of embryonic callus to auxin-free medium resulted in the continued development and eventual germination of embryoids and establishment of rooted plantlets that were successfully transferred to soil.     

Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis and shoot organogenesis from immature cotyledons of Camellia nitidissima Chi

Camellia nitidissima Chi (Theaceae) is a world-famous economic and ornamental plant with golden-yellow flowers. It has been classified as one of the rarest and most endangered plants in China. Our objective was to induce somatic embryogenesis, shoot organogenesis and plant regeneration for C. nitidissima. Three types of callus (whitish, reddish and yellowish) were induced from immature cotyledons on improved woody plant medium (WPM) with different plant growth regulators (PGRs). Among the callus, whitish callus was induced by 4.5 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and reddish and yellowish callus were induced by strongly active cytokinins, thidiazuron (TDZ) or 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), singly or combined with weakly active auxin, α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The embryogenic callus could differentiate into somatic embryos, nodular embryogenic structures (large embryo-like structures) or adventitious shoots depending on the PGR used in WPM. BAP was best for adventitious buds and zeatin was best for somatic embryogenesis while kinetin (Kt) was best for the formation of nodular embryogenic structures. The three regeneration pathways often occurred in the same embryogenic callus clumps. Most shoots (80.0%) developed roots in WPM supplemented with 24.6 μM IBA and 0.3 μM NAA while 47.5% of somatic embryos could germinate directly and develop into plantlets on induction medium supplemented with 0.9 μM BAP and 0.1 μM NAA. The nodular embryogenic structures could be sub-cultured and cyclically developed in one of two differentiation pathways: shoot organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis. Plantlets derived from shoot buds rooted and somatic embryos germinated when transplanted into soil in a greenhouse; 66.7% of plantlets from shoot culture and 78.6% of plantlets from somatic embryos survived after 8 weeks’ acclimatization.
