Protoplasts Culture and Plant Regeneration of Soybean (Glycine max L. and G. soja)

Protoplasts were isolated enzymatically from immature cotyledons of soybean. The protoplasts divided to form calli in the K8P liquid medium. The calli further grew to 2–3 mm on the solid K8 medium and were transferred onto the MSB medium (MS minerals+B5 organic components+0.5–1.0 mg/l 2,4-D+0.2–0.5 mg/l BA) to obtain compact and nodular calli. Shoot formation was initiated on M1 medium (MSB medium with 0.15 mg/1 NAA, and BA, KT and ZT, 0.5 mg/l of each, 500 mg/1 CH). Differentiation frequency was 13.6–24.2%. Plants have been regenerated from protoplasts of immature cotyledons in 2 cultivars, and normal pods were obtained from them.     

Plant regeneration from protoplasts of soybean (Glycine max L.)

Protoplasts were isolated from immature cotyledons of six cultivars of Glycine max L. and cultured in the KP8 liquid medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/L 2,4-D, 1 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L ZT. The protoplasts started to divide after 3–5 days of culture. Sustained divisions resulted in mass production of cell colonies and small calli in 6 weeks. The calli further grew to 2–3 mm on the gelritesolidified K8 medium and were transferred onto the MSB medium with 1 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.25 mg/L BA, to obtain compact and nodular calli. Shoot formation was initiated on MSB medium with 0.15 mg/L NAA, and BA, KT and ZT, 0.5 mg/L of each, with or without 500 mg/L CH. It was followed by plant regeneration. So far, 87 plants have been regenerated from 4 cultivars, and normal seeds were obtained from them after transplanting into pots.Abbreviation IAA indol-3-acetic acid - NAA naphthalene acetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid - KT kinetin - BA 6-benzyladenine - ZT zeatin - CH casein hydrolysate     

Mesophyll Protoplast Culture and Plant Regeneration of Oriental Planetree (Platanus orientalis)

Large populations of mesophyll protoplasts were released from the leaves of 1.5–2 month old sterile seedlings, with a high protoplast yield (3.7× 10 6g-1FW) after protoplast purification. The purified protoplasts were cultured in a modified K8p liquid medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 1 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L BA. Higher density (1× 106/ml) in the initial culture of protoplasts is favourable to the division of cultured mesophyll protoplasts of this woody species among the densities tested. The protoplasts started to divide after 6 days of culture, and achieved 26.8% division frequency by 14 days. Sustained divisions resulted in mass production of cell colonies and small calli in 8 weeks. The calli further grew to 2–3mm on the gelrite-solidified K8 medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/L NAA aud 0.5 mg/L BA. Then, they were transferred onto the MSB proliferation medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0.25 mg/L BA, where compact and cream-coloured calli were formed. Shoot formation was initiated on MSB differentiation medium coraming 0.5 mg/L IAA, 1 mg/L each of BA and ZT. It was observed that the frequency of shoot formation was about 28.7%. Whole plantlets were regenerated upon transferring 3 cm shoots to 1/2MS medium with 0.5mg/L IBA and 0.1mg/L BA, from which they were already transplanted into pots and grew well in the phytotron of Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology.     

Somatic Embryogenesis and Plant Regeneration from Protoplasts of Cowpea (Vigna sinensis)

Immature cotyledons of cowpea (Vigna sinensis Endlo) were used for protoplast isolation. Enzyme solution for protoplast isolation contained 40% cellulase Onozuka R-10,0.30% Macerozyme R-10 and 2% hemicellulase. The purified protoplasts were cultured in Bs,MS or KM8p liquid medium in dark (25℃) at a density of 1 × 105–5 × 105/ml. The protoplasts started cell division in 3–5 days . Sustained cell divisions resulted ill formation of cell clusters and small calli,with cell division frequency reaching 23%–28% in MS medium . Calli of 2 mm in size were transferred onto MSB (MS salts+B5 vitamins) medium with 2 mg/L 2,4-D, 0. 5mg /L BA forfurther growth. Embryogenic calli appeared on this medium. After passage to fresh medium with the same composition, the embryogenic calli were transferred into MSB liquid medium to establish suspension culture. When the suspended calli were transferred back onto MSB agar medium with 0. 1 mg /L IAA, 0.5mg/L KT, 5% mannitol (cultured in light,2000 lx,12h/d), a lot of adventitious roots formed in 7–10 days, and then somatic embryos formed from the protoplast derived calli. But only a few embryoids developed further into the cotyledonary stage ,and the others died at globular, heart-shaped, or torpeto stage . Finally, some cotyledonary embryoids germinated and developed into plantlets or shoots with leaves.

Plant regeneration from protoplasts of immature Vigna sinensis cotyledons via somatic embryogenesis

Summary Protoplasts were isolated from immature cotyledons of Vigna sinensis and cultured in a modified MS Liquid medium containing 0. 2 mg/l 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D), 1 mg/l naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0. 5 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) in the dark at a density of 1 × 10⁵/ml. The protoplasts began to divide in 3–5 days. Sustained cell division resulted in formation of cell clusters and small calli, with the cell division frequency and plating efficiency of cell colonies reaching 27. 7% and 1. 7% respectively. When calli of 2 mm in size were transferred onto MSB medium (MS salts and B5 vitamins) containing 500mg/l NaCl, 500 mg/ 1 casein hydrolysate (CH), 2 mg/l 2,4-D and 0. 5 mg/l BAP for further growth, approximately 5% of the calli developed embryogenically. The embryogenic calli were selected and subcultured on the same composition of MSB medium and were able to maintain somatic embryogenesis capacity in subculture for a long time. When the calli were moved to MSB medium with 0. 1 mg/l indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 0. 5mg/l kinetin(KT), 3–5% mannitol and 2% sucrose in the light, many somatic embryos formed from the calli. Only part of the embryoids developed further to the cotyledonary stage, and the others died at the globular, heart-shaped or torpedo stages. Finally, some cotyledonary embryoids germinated and developed into plants or shoots. The shoots were readily rooted on 1/2 strength MS medium with 0. 1–0.3 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). The plants grew well in soil and were fertile.Abbreviations 2, 4-D dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - BAP 6-benzylaminopurine - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - KT kinetin - IBA indole-3-butyric acid - CH casein hydrolysate - CM coconut milk - ZT zeatin     

Plant regeneration from callus protoplasts of the forage legume Astragalus adsurgens Pall.

A reproducible release of viable protoplasts was obtained from friable calli of Astragalus adsurgens. Protoplasts underwent sustained divisions and formed cell colonies when cultured in either liquid or agarose-solidified Kao and Michayluk (1975) protoplast medium (KM8P) supplemented with 1.5 mg/l 2,4-D, 0.5 mg/l BA and 0.5 M glucose. Compared to liquid culture, agarose bead culture improved division frequency effectively, the two culture systems showing a plating efficiency of 0.8±0.5% and 6.5±0.7%, respectively. Upon transfer to Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium (MS) with 1–2 mg/l BA, alone or in combination with NAA or 2,4-D at 0.1 mg/l, the protoplast-derived calli produced complete plantlets through somatic embryogenesis. The maximum percentage of calli producing somatic embryos (52.5± 2.2%) occurred on MS medium containing 0.1 mg/l NAA and 1 mg/l BA, whereas the maximum number of calli regenerating plantlets (64.7±6.2) was obtained on MS medium with 0.1 mg/l NAA and 2 mg/l BA.

Plant regeneration from protoplasts isolated from callus ofGentiana crassicaulis

Fast growing calli induced from hypocotyl segments ofGentiana crassicaulis were used for preparation of protoplasts. High yields of viable protoplasts were produced in an enzyme solution containing 1–2% cellulase, I% pecfinase, and 0.5% Hemicellulase. Protoplasts were cultured in KM8P medium containing 1 mg/l 2,4-D, 0.5 mg/l 6BA, 500 mg/l LH, 0.5 M glucose and 0.1 M mannitol by the solid-liquid dual layer culture method. First division occurred within 4–5 days of culture at a frequency of 17.8%. Sustained divisions led to callus formation. Periodically diluting the cultures with freshly prepared liquid medium containing 1% glucose was critical for colony formation. Protocolonies about 2 mm in size were transferred onto MS medium supplemented with 3 mg/l ZT, 2 mg/l 6BA, 1 mg/l GA₃, 1 mg/l NAA and 6% sucrose to obtain embryogenic calli. Plantlets were regenerated via somatic embryogenesis at high frequency on hormone-free MS Medium.Abbreviations 6BA 6-benzylaminopurine - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4 - dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - ZT zeatin - GA₃ gibberellic acid - LH lactalbumin hydrolysate - MES 2-(N-morpholino)-ethane sulfonic acid - MS Murashige & Skoog's medium(1962)     

Plant regeneration from meristem-derived callus protoplasts of apple (Malus3domestica cv. `Fuji')

A procedure has been established for regeneration from meristem-derived callus protoplasts of scion cultivars of apple that have been difficult to regenerate from leaf protoplasts. Calli were induced from the meristem of apples, Malus×domestica cvs `Fuji' and `Jonagold' and Malus prunifolia var `ringo Asami Mo84-A', cultured on MS medium (2 mg/l 2,4-D, 1 mg/l BA, 0.8% agar) and subcultured in a liquid medium. The ability to regenerate plants from suspension calli was studied under eight different combinations with respect to IAA, ABA, and TDZ concentrations. With the materials studied here, two combinations, one with 0.1 mg/l IAA, 0.1 mg/l ABA, and 2.0 mg/l TDZ and another with 0.1 mg/l IAA, 1.0 mg/l ABA, and 2.0 mg/l TDZ, were effective for plant regeneration. Protoplasts were isolated from the above suspension cultures and then cultured in KM8P medium containing IBA (2 mg/l), BA (1 mg/l), 2,4-D (0.4 mg/l), and MES (5 mM, pH 5.7). Shoot formation of protoplast-derived calli was studied in the above-mentioned regeneration media. The high concentration of Gelrite (0.5% and 0.7%) was also shown to be important for shoot formation of protoplast-derived calli. Shoot primordia were formed in the medium containing IAA (0.1 mg/l), ABA (1.0 mg/l), and TDZ (2.0 mg/l). Ultimately, five regenerants of `Fuji' protoplasts were obtained from 200 protoplast-derived calli. Received: 19 June 1998 / Revision received: 9 October 1998 / Accepted: 27 October 1998     

Plantlet regeneration from immature cotyledon protoplasts of soybean (Glycine max L.)

Protoplasts were isolated from immature cotyledons of Glycine max L. Merr. cv. Clark 63 and cultured in liquid or in agarose-gelled modified KP8 medium. Plating efficiencies of 45–50% were obtained in liquid medium and 55–60% in 1.2% (w/v) agarose beads. Upon regular dilution with K8 medium rapidly growing green microcalli (1–2 mm in size) were obtained in 5–6 weeks, which upon transfer to MSB medium with 0.5 mg 1^–1 each of 2,4-D, BA, Kn and 500 mg 1^–1 CH produced compact green calli in 4–6 weeks. After 3–4 regular subcultures of 14 days each on MSB medium containing 0.5 mg 1^–1 each of BA, Kn, ZT, 0.1 mg 1^–1 NAA and 500 mg 1^–1 CH, about 21% of the compact calli formed multiple shoots. Addition of glutamine, asparagine and GA₃ enhanced shoot regeneration up to 30%. Shoots of 0.5–1.0 cm length were transferred to 1/2 MS medium with 0.01 mg 1^–1 TH and 0.5 mg 1^–1 GA₃ for elongation. In 2 to 3 weeks, approximately 60% of the shoots were 2–3 cm in length. These shoots were rooted on 1/2 MS with 1% sucrose and 0.2 mg 1^–1 IBA or 0.5 mg 1^–1 NAA. So far, twenty six plants have been transferred to the greenhouse, where they all have set seed.Abbreviations BA 6-benzyladenine - CH casein hydrolysate - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - FDA fluorescein diacetate - GA₃ gibberellic acid - IBA indole-3-butyric acid - Kn kinetin - MES 2[N-morpholino] ethane sulfonic acid - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - TH thidiazuron - ZT zeatin     

Plant Regeneration from Protoplasts of Suspension Cells of Saposhnilkovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk

Embryogenic calli were produced from the segments of the young roots, hypocotyls or petioles of test-tube seedlings on MS agar medium containing 1 mg/1 2,4-D. When shaken in the MS liquid medium, the calli formed cell suspension with many embryogenic cell clumps.Using the enzyme mixture: Onozuka R-10 1.5%+MacerozymeR-10 0.3%+Snailase 0.5%+CaCl2 5 mmol/l + Mannitol 0.6 mol/1 (pH=5.8), protoplasts were obtained from the cell clumps which had been subcultured for three to' seven days. When cultivated, the protoplasts grew and began to divide after four days, and formed cell clumps about l—2 mm within fifty days. Protoplast-derived calli were formed from the cell clumps on the MS agar medium with 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D. When transferred onto the MS agar medium containing 0.1 mg/1 6-BA or 0.1 mg/1 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/1 6-BA, the calli differentiated into embryoids. On the MS agar medium without phytohormone, the embryoids grew into plantlets.     

Plant regeneration from protoplasts of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.)

Summary Enzymatically isolated leaf-derived protoplasts of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) were cultured in modified B5 medium containing 1 mg/l NAA, 0.4 mg/l BA, 0.5% sucrose, 0.5 M mannitol and 0.1% Gelrite (first medium). After 30 d culture at 25°C in the dark, protoplasts formed colonies consisting of about 100 cells. Gelrite medium blocks were transferred into liquid medium to promote further growth. Colonies of 0.5 mm transferred to 0.2% Gelrite solidified medium (same components as first medium) formed green calli (1–2 mm) under incubation in the light. Green calli transferred to differentiation medium (B5, 0.1 mg/l NAA, 5 mg/l BA, 2% sucrose, 0.2 M mannitol, 0.2% Gelrite) developed shoot buds after 3–4 weeks. Whole plants were recovered following rooting of shoots in B5 medium without hormones.Abbreviations BA 6-benzylaminopurine - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - KIN kinetin - ZEA zeatin - CPW cell and protoplast wash solution - B5 Gamborg et al.

Plant Regeneration from Protoplasts of Coriandrum sativum

Calli produced from stem segments of seedling of Coriandrum satwum which were cultured on MS agar medium containing NAA 1.0mg/L. The embryogenic cell colony suspension was estabilished on MS liquid medium containing NAA 1.0mg/L%2,4-D 0.2mg/L+BA 0.5 mg/L. The cell suspension culture was used for protoplast preparation. Protoplasts were obtained in the enzyme mixture containing 2.0% Onozuka R-10, 1.0% pectinase, 0.5% snailase, 0.5% dextran sulfate potassium Salt, 0.6mol/L mannital CPW solution at pH 5.8 and 25℃. Cultured in a KM8P liquid medium containing NAA 1.0mg/L+2,4-D 0.2mg/L+6-BA 0.5 mg/L, glucose 0.4mol/L and CM 20mi/L; the protoplasts entered the stage of derision after three days, cell clusters formed in 10 days and calli formed after about 50 days. When the calli were transferred to MS agar medium containing many growth substances, they differentiated into embryoids, and then developed into plantlet with many green leaves and roots on the 1/2 MS agar medium.     

Cauliflower inflorescence protoplast culture and plant regeneration

A yield of 2–4×10⁶ protoplasts/g F.W. could be obtained when fresh cauliflower inflorescence segments were digested with 2% cellulase Onozuka R-10, 1% cellulase RS and 0.4% Macerozyme R-10 in CPW18S for 7 to 10 h. Purified protoplasts were cultured in K8p liquid and agarose medium. Although protoplasts in liquid medium divided earlier than in agarose, protoplast-derived cells in liquid culture could not avoid browning. With agarose culture, sustained division and callus formation could be achieved. After 20 days, calli were transferred onto B5 agar medium with ZT 1.5 mg l^-1, BA 0.5 mg l^-1 and IAA 0.1 mg l^-1 for shoot formation. The frequency of bud formation varied from 56.7% for calli of 1mm in size to 5.6% for 5mm calli. The shoots formed were rooted in B5 medium containing 0.5 mg l^-1 IBA, and the regenerated plants were transplanted to pots and grew normally. It took about two months from protoplasts to the regenerated plants.Abbreviations Ade adenine - BA 6-benzyl aminopurine - CH casein hydrolysate - CM coconut milk - 2,4-D 2,4,-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - GA₃ gibberellic acid - Gln glutamine - NAA -naphthylacetic acid - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - IBA indole-3-butyric acid - ZT zeatin     

Protoplast culture and plant regeneration from Brassica carinata Braun

Protoplasts isolated from hypocotyls of three-day-old seedlings of Brassica carinata (Braun) cv R-2128 were cultured in a modified Nitsch and Nitsch liquid medium containing 13% sucrose, 0.4% Ficoll, 0.25 mg/l BA, 0.5 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D. The density of medium caused the protoplasts and the developing microcalli to float on the surface of the liquid medium whereas all debris and lysed cells sank to the bottom of the culture plate. After 4–6 weeks developing microcalli were approximately 0.5 mm in diameter and were transferred onto MS medium containing 3% sucrose, 0.4% agarose, 200 mg/l casein hydrolysate, 5 mg/l BA and 0.5 mg/l NAA, pH 5.7. Approximately 20% of the calli transferred to this medium produced plantlets.Abbreviations BA 6-Benzylaminopurine - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - MS Murashiqe-Skoog     

Plant Regeneration from Protoplasts of Ligusticurn wallichii Franch

The hypocotyls of the embryoid derived plantlets of Ligusticum wallichii Franch were used for protoplast preparation. Protoplasts were obtained with the enzyme mixture containing 1.5% Onozuka R-10, 0.3% Macerozyme R-10, 0.5% Snailase, 5 mmol/l CaCl2, 1 mmol/l KH2PO4, 0.6 mol/l manitol, at pH 5.6–5.8 and 27℃. Protoplasts were cultured in a modified MS liquid medium containing 1 mg/l 2,4-D + 0.5 mg/l 6- BA. The first divisions were found after twelve days, and the dividing cells formed cell colonies of 0.5–1 mm after about fourty days. When they were transferred to MS agar medium (with half quantity of macronutrients) supplemented with 2,4-D (0.5mg/l) and 6-BA(0.5mg/l), they grew into calli. At last, on the medium without any phytohormones, the growing calli differentiated embryoids which developed into plantlets with many green leaves and roots.     

Regeneration of fertile plants from protoplasts of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.): genotypic differences in culture response

Fourteen soybean (Glycine max L.) genotypes were evaluated for their regenerability from protoplasts using a procedure previously descibed for the cultivar Clark 63. Protoplasts were isolated from immature cotyledon tissue and were cultured in liquid or agarose gelled KP8, MS or B5 medium with different sugars. Significant differences were observed in plating efficiency, which was as high as 63% in Jack and A-2396, and as low as 38% in X-3337. Upon regular dilution with K8 medium, 1–2 mm diameter colonies were formed in 5–6 weeks with all the genotypes tested. These colonies were then transferred onto MSB (MS salts; Murashige & Skoog, 1962 + B5 organics; Gamborg et al., 1968) medium with 0.5 mg l^–1 each of 2,4-D, BA and KN and 500 mg l^–1 CH for further growth. Once the colonies had become green, compact and nodular, and were 8–10 mm in size, they were transferred to regeneration medium. Upon regular subculturing, calli of six genotypes; A-2396, Chamberlain, Heilong-26, Jack, Resnick and XP-3015 developed shoots, with the regeneration frequency being highest 27% in Jack (52 calli out of 192 produced 8–12 shoots). The regenerated shoots from different genotypes were elongated and rooted. So far, sixty three complete plants have been obtained, including twelve A-2396, nineteen Chamberlain, fifteen Jack, nine Resnick and eight XP-3015. A total of thirty five plants have been transplanted into pots in the greenhouse. Sixteen have set seeds and others are producing flowers and pods.Abbreviations BA 6-benzyladenine - CH casein hydrolysate - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - FDA fluorescein diacetate - GA₃ gibberellic acid - IBA indolebutyric acid - KN kinetin - MES 2[N-morpholino] ethane sulfonic acid - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - TH thidiazuron - ZT zeatin     

Wheat protoplast culture: embryogenic colony formation from protoplasts

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Chinese Spring) protoplasts were isolated from immature embryos or embryogenic calli (3–4 weeks of culture on MS medium with 32 mg/1 dicamba) and cultured in R2 medium containing 2 mg/1 2,4-D by the nurse culture methods originally developed for rice protoplasts (Kyozuka et al. 1987). Protoplasts isolated from embryogenic calli started to divide within 3–5 days and formed colonies at frequencies up to 2% after 3–4 weeks of culture, while protoplasts isolated from immature embryos formed colonies at much lower frequency (less than 0.1%). Some of these colonies were embryogenic, and they appeared at a frequency of approximately 0.5% of colonies formed when callus-derived protoplasts were used. From two of those embryogenic colonies, calli were regenerated and albino shoots and roots were obtained.
