Conditions for obtaining an efficient mass propagation procedure to overcome isolated Taxus baccata embryo dormancy were investigated. The protocol herein described was efficient for overcoming the dormancy of T. baccata isolated embryos under in vitro conditions, enabling the conservation and propagation of this species. T. baccata seeds were unable to germinate directly after collection under in vitro conditions. Very good sterility and germination was achieved by soaking seeds in distilled water at a low temperature (+4°C)
at least for 48 h instead of leaching them for 7 d under running water, followed by maintaining isolated embryos on the Murashige
and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with 5 g l−1 activated charcoal. That treatment allowed one to shorten the time of the experiment and gave almost 100% sterility. The
best germination was observed in darkness, but to obtain worthy seedlings, it was necessary to place cultures in a 16-h photoperiod
after a 2-wk incubation. There was no significant difference in germination between seeds collected from different populations
of Southern Poland. 相似文献

The propagation of Givotia rottleriformis Griff. is difficult as a result of long seed dormancy associated with poor seed germination. The present study was undertaken
to develop a protocol to overcome seed dormancy by culture of zygotic embryo axes and then develop an efficient method for
micropropagation of Givotia. Best germination frequency (78.3%) was achieved from mature zygotic embryo axes isolated from acid-scarified fresh seeds
when cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (half-strength major salts) with 28.9 μM gibberellic acid (GA3). Efficient plant conversion was achieved by transfer of 10-d-old germinated embryos to MS medium (half-strength major salts)
supplemented with 1.2 μM kinetin (KN) and 0.5 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). However, acid scarification of 1-yr-old seeds
decreased the germination frequency of zygotic embryo axes in comparison to those obtained from non-acid-scarified seeds which
germinated (96.2%) and converted into plants (80.3%) on MS basal (half-strength major salts) medium. Multiple shoot bud induction
was achieved by culture of shoot tips derived from in vitro germinated seedlings on MS medium with 0.5 μM thidiazuron for 4 wk, and the shoots elongated after transfer to a secondary
medium with 1.2 μM KN. A maximum number of 7.8 shoots per explant with an average shoot length of 3.2 cm was achieved after
two subcultures on this medium. The in vitro regenerated shoots rooted (41.5%) on half-strength MS medium with 0.5 μM IBA. The in vitro generated seedlings and micropropagated plants were established in soil with a survival frequency of 70% and 60%, respectively. 相似文献

In vitro propagation protocol for Haemaria discolor (Ker) Lindl. var. dawsoniana by artificial cross-pollination and asymbiotic germination of seeds has been developed. Fruit set (100 %) was obtained when the pollinia and ovules of various aged flowers were used for pollination. In vitro germination of seeds obtained from capsules of various ages was achieved on half-strength Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with 3 % sucrose and 0.85 % agar. The germinated seedlings were cultured on half-strength MS medium with 0.2 % activated charcoal, 8 % banana homogenate, 0.1 mg dm−3 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)urea (TDZ) and 1 mg dm−3 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Ninety-six percent of plantlets survived after hardening in greenhouse.This research was supported by grant (91AS-3.1.1-CI-C3) from the Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan of Taiwan and grants (NSC-89-2317-B055-002 and NSC-91-2317-B324-001) from the National Science Council of Taiwan.

Summary In order to establish a protocol for somatic embryogenesis of annatto, Bixa orellana L., seeds (70 d after anthesis) from field-grown orchards had their coats dissected off, and immature zygotic embryos were
excised aseptically from immature seeds collected from field-grown trees and used as explants. Embryos were cultured onto
MS medium supplemented with or without different combinations of plant growth regulators and activated charcoal. Direct somatic
embryogenesis was induced on explants incubated either in Murashige and Skoog (MS), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D),
and/or kinetin-supplemented media after 25 d of culture. The highest frequencies of embryogenesis and embryos per explant
were obtained on medium containing 2.26 μM 2.4-D, 4.52μM kinetin, and 1.0 gl−1 activated charcoal. The presence of charcoal was critical in increasing embryos per explant, to reduce the time to obtain
somatic embryos, and mainly to prevent callus proliferation and subsequent indirect somatic embryogenesis. No embryogenic
response was achieved when mature embryos were used. It was also observed that embryogenic response was significantly affected
by genotype. Histological investigations revealed that primary direct somatic embryos differentiated exclusively from the
protodermis or together with the outer ground meristem cell layers of the zygotic embryo axis, and from the protodermis of
zygotic cotyledons. Diverse morphological differences, including malformed embryos, were observed among somatic embryos. In
spite of the high frequencies of histodifferentiation of all embryo stages, a very low conversion frequency to normal plants
from somatic embryos was observed. 相似文献

In vitro propagation of an anticancerous drug synthesizing plant, Ophiorrhiza prostrata D. Don, was established through indirect somatic embryogenesis. Friable embryogenic calluses were initiated from O. prostrata leaf and internode explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) either
alone or in combination with N6-benzyladenine (BA) or kinetin (KIN). Somatic embryos were developed after subculture of the friable calluses onto half strength
MS media containing 0.45 or 2.26 μM 2,4-D alone or in combination with BA or KIN. Medium supplemented with 2.26 μM 2,4-D and
2.22 μM BA was optimal, supporting the production of a mean of 5.8 globular embryos. Subculture of globular embryo-bearing
calluses on half strength MS medium without growth regulators produced the highest embryo frequency, and the majority of them
developing to early torpedo stage. Somatic embryos underwent maturation and converted to plantlets at high frequency (90 %)
on half strength MS medium supplemented with 0.44 μM BA. Somatic embryo-derived plantlets with well-developed roots were established
in field conditions with a 90 % survival rate. 相似文献

A method for secondary somatic embryogenesis was developed on embryos derived from embryogenic callus formed on Hepatica nobilis seedlings. Somatic embryogenesis (SE) was induced on seedlings (on the hypocotyl and epicotyl parts) grown on the Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium (MS) supplemented with 1 µM naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and/or 0.1 µM 6-benzyladenine (BA) and on medium without plant growth regulators (PGR). The best response of embryogenic callus formation was observed on the medium containing 1 µM NAA alone or with 0.1 µM BA. Individual somatic embryos, formed on embryogenic callus on the medium without PGR (MS0), at heart, torpedo and cotyledonary stage, were transferred to the media where secondary somatic embryo formation and development into plantlets occurred. Although the most efficient repetitive cycles of secondary SE were recorded for all stages of somatic embryos (heart, torpedo, cotyledonary) on the MS0 medium (77.8–87.4 %), secondary somatic embryos were also obtained on all media supplemented with cytokinins. The best rate of somatic embryos germination was achieved on MS media with 0.2 µM NAA and 2 µM BA, and 0.1 µM NAA and 1 µM BA (48.8–52.0 %) when more mature embryos (cotyledonary stage) were used. Plantlets grown from somatic embryos were successfully acclimatized to greenhouse conditions. 相似文献

Embryo rescue technique was used successfully to produce interspecific hybrids by crossing peach (P. persica) as a female parent with apricot (P. armeniaca) and plum (P. salicica). In those crosses that had ‘Yuhualu’ or ‘Zhonghuashoutao’ as female parents, hybrid embryos aborted from the 7th or 8th
week after pollination mainly due to post-pollination incompatibility. An embryo rescue protocol was established to rescue
such embryos and recover hybrid plants. Modified half-strength MS medium containing 4 mg l−1 6-BA and 0.5 mg l−1 IBA produced up to 90% germination in the embryos. Modified MS medium with 1.0 mg l−1 6-BA and 1.0 mg l−1 IBA gave the highest bud induction and multiplication whereas modified MS medium containing 0.5 mg l−1 IAA and 0.2 mg l−1 NAA gave the best rooting percentage. All the hybrids obtained using this embryo rescue technique were verified using simple
sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A series of pollen treatments were carried out to partially overcome pre-pollination incompatibility,
and it was found accidentally that pollen treatment with electrostatic field not only improved pollen germination but also
increased the multiplication coefficient of embryo-induced shoots. 相似文献

In vitro culture is an important aid for ex situ conservation of rare, endemic or threatened plants. In this work, we establish an efficient method for the seed germination,
seedling development, and axillary shoot propagation of Centaurea zeybekii Wagenitz. The seeds, collected from a wild population, were surface sterilised and cultured on various in vitro germination media. The effects of photoperiod and temperature on seed germination were also investigated. Germinations were
obtained after 6 weeks in culture and the radicle emergence was evaluated as a main indicator. A high frequency of germination
was obtained on distilled water supplemented with vitamines and 1 mg/L GA3. Although the seed germination frequencies were not affected by photoperiod, the highest germination frequency was obtained
at 24 ± 2°C. A high frequency of axillary shoot proliferation was produced on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L BA. Then,
the axillary shoots were separated and transferred to MS medium with or without plant growth regulators for rooting. Rhizogenezis
was promoted after 6 weeks only in MS and 1/2 MS media containing 0.5 mg/L IBA. The rooting process was very slow and the
percentage of shoot rooting was also very low (15%).
The present study not only enables reinforcement of wild plant populations using ex situ growth of individuals, but it also helps to large number of aseptic seedling to use it in clonaly micropropagation studies. 相似文献

When cotyledonary explants, excised from in vitro germinated seedlings, of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) were incubated on solid Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium supplemented with 21 μM naptheleneacetic acid (NAA) and 9 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA), 80% of explants developed callus.
A high frequency of shoot organogensis was obtained when explants were incubated on MS medium supplemented with 8 μM BA, 6 μM
NAA, and 6 μM giberrellic acid (GA3). However, adding 24 μM silver nitrate (AgNO3) to this medium markedly enhanced shoot regeneration frequency (63%) and mean number of shoots per explant (11.26) and length
of shoots (2.22 cm). Highest frequency of in vitro rooting, mean number of roots/shoot (4.32), and mean root length (2.71 cm)
were obtained when regenerated shoots were transferred to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.02% activated charcoal.
Well-rooted plantlets were acclimatized, and then transferred to soil medium. Moreover, when zygotic embryos of P. granatum, excised from seeds collected at 16 weeks following full bloom, were incubated on MS medium containing 30 g l−1 sucrose, 15% coconut water, 21 μM NAA, and 9 μM BA, they developed the highest frequency of embryogenic callus, clumps with
globular embryos, and mean number of both globular and heart-shaped embryos per callus clump. Subjecting zygotic embryo explants
to six-week dark incubation period was essential for embryogenic callus induction, and these were subsequently transferred
to 16 h photoperiod for further growth and development of somatic embryos. Germination of somatic embryos was observed when
these were transferred to MS medium was supplemented with 60 g l−1 sucrose. 相似文献

An efficient, rapid and reproducible plant regeneration protocol was successfully developed for Cassia angustifolia using nodal explants excised from 14-day-old aseptic seedlings. Of the two cytokinins, 6-benzyladenine (BA) and thidiazuron
(TDZ) evaluated as supplements to Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, TDZ at an optimal concentration of 5.0 μM was effective
in inducing multiple shoots. The highest rate of shoot multiplication was achieved on MS medium supplemented with 5.0 μM TDZ
and 1.0 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at pH 5.8. The regenerated shoots when subcultured on hormone free MS medium considerably
increased the rate of shoot multiplication and shoot length by end of fourth subculture passage. Rooting was achieved on the
isolated shoots using MS medium with 60 μM indole -3- butyric acid (IBA) and 1% activated charcoal for 1 week and subsequently
transferring the shootlets to half strength MS liquid media without IBA and activated charcoal. The in vitro raised plantlets
with well-developed shoot and roots were successfully established in earthen pots containing garden soil and grown in greenhouse. 相似文献

Summary
Kalopanax pictus (Thunb.) Nakai is a tall tree, and its wood has been used in making furniture, while its stem bark is used for medicinal
purposes. Here, we report on the micropropagation of Kalopanax pictus via somatic embryogenesis. Embryogenic callus was induced from immature zygotic embryos. The frequency embryogenic callus
induction is influenced by days of seed harvest. Callus formation was primarily observed along the radicle tips of zygotic
embryos incubated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 4.4 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacctic acid (2,4-D). Somatic embryogenesis was observed following transfer of embryogenic callus to MS
medium lacking 2,4-D. Somatic embryos at the cotyledonary stage were obtained after 6 wk following culture. Frequency of conversion
of somatic embryos into plantlets was low (35%) on a hormone-free MS basal medium, but it increased to 61% when the medium
was supplemented with 0.05% charcoal. Gibberellic acid (GA3) treatment markedly enhanced the germination frequency of embryos up to 83%. All plantlets obtained showed 98% survival on
moist peat soil (TKS2) artificial soil matrix. About 30 000 Kalopanax pictus plants were propagated via somatic embryogenesis and grown to 3-yr-old plants. These results indicate that production of
woody medicinal Kalopanax pictus plantlets through somatic embryogenesis can be practically applicable for propagation. 相似文献

Seeds of Delphinium fissum subsp. sordidum are physiologically dormant at maturity, with underdeveloped embryos; thus they have morphophysiological dormancy (MPD).
The aims of this study were to determine the requirements for embryo growth, dormancy break and germination, to characterise
the type of seed dormancy and to evaluate the effects of light, seed age, pollination mechanism, and inter-annual and inter-population
variability on germinative ability. After 3 months of incubation at 5°C (cold stratification) in darkness conditions, the
mean embryo length increased from 5.6 to 2.07 mm, with 76% of seeds germinating. Conversely, embryos of seeds incubated during
3 months at 20/7 or 28/14°C hardly grew and no germination was recorded. Since cold stratification was the only requirement
for the loss of MPD, and both dry storage in laboratory conditions and warm stratification prior to cold stratification shortened
the cold stratification period required for germination, it could be concluded that D. fissum subsp. sordidum seeds have intermediate complex MPD. Cold stratification and incubation in darkness conditions promoted higher germination
percentages than those in light. In addition, germinative ability increased with seed age up to 8 months (reaching 96% at
5°C in darkness), showed a pronounced inter-annual and inter-population variability, as well as a significant decrease in
seeds coming from pollination by geitonogamy. High temperatures (25/10 or 28/14°C) induced seeds to secondary dormancy, so
seedling emergence in the greenhouse was restricted to February–March. The requirements for dormancy break and germination
reflect an adaptation to trigger germination in late winter. This study is the first one to document a gradual increase in
germination percentage with seed age for plant species with intermediate complex MPD. 相似文献

Callus was initiated in three different “esculenta” taro cultivars by culturing corm slices in the dark on half-strength MS
medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) for 20 days followed by subculture of all corm slices
to half-strength MS medium containing 1.0 mg/l thidiazuron (TDZ). Depending on the cultivar, 20–30% of corm slices produced
compact, yellow, nodular callus on media containing TDZ. Histological studies revealed the presence of typical embryogenic
cells which were small, isodiametric with dense cytoplasms. Somatic embryos formed when callus was transferred to hormone-free
medium and ~72% of the embryos germinated into plantlets on this medium. Simultaneous formation of roots and shoots during
germination, and the presence of shoot and root poles revealed by histology, confirmed that these structures were true somatic
embryos. Plants derived from somatic embryos appeared phenotypically normal following 2 months growth in a glasshouse. This
method is a significant advance on those previously reported for the esculenta cultivars of taro due to its efficiency and reproducibility. 相似文献

Acrocomia aculeata is an oil producing tropical palm tree with exceptional potential for producing biofuel. As the propagation of this species
is often difficult because of its pronounced seed dormancy, the present work examined the morphology and the anatomy of zygotic
embryos and seedlings during in vitro germination. Embryos were put in MS media supplemented with organic compounds and cultivated
in the dark at 30°C for 20 days. The dry weights, lengths, and diameters of the cotyledonary petioles, haustoria, roots, ligules,
and leaf sheaths of embryos obtained from mature seeds and seedlings removed from culture were measured every 2 days; anatomical
and histochemical evaluations were performed on embryos and seedlings removed from culture after 2, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 15 days.
Elongation of the embryo axis was observed to initiate after 2 days. Elongation of the cotyledonary petiole was observed starting
on the fifth day; this is a morphological indication of germination that is associated with the formation of starch and raphides
as well as the differentiation of tracheary elements. The growth of the cotyledon is due to increases in cell volumes as well
as the development of a meristematic band peripheral to the haustorium. In spite of the fact that the radicle is less differentiated
than the plumule, radicular development is precocious and the root emerges first, indicating the absence of morphological
dormancy. Atrophy of the haustorium and the accumulation of phenolic compounds in subepidermal cell layers occur due to culturing
conditions. 相似文献

A somatic embryogenesis protocol for plant regeneration of northern red oak (Quercus rubra) was established from immature cotyledon explants. Embryogenic callus cultures were induced on Murashige and Skoog medium
(MS) containing 3% sucrose, 0.24% Phytagel™, and various concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d) after 4 weeks of culture in darkness. A higher response (66%) of embryogenic callus was induced on 0.45 μM 2,4-d. Higher numbers of globular- (31), heart- (17), torpedo- (12), and cotyledon-stage (8) embryos per explant were obtained
by culturing embryogenic callus on MS with 3% sucrose, 0.24% Phytagel™, and devoid of growth regulators after 8 weeks culture
in darkness. Continuous sub-culturing of embryogenic callus on medium containing 2,4-d yielded only compact callus. Desiccation of embryos for 3 days in darkness at 25 ± 2°C followed by cold storage at 4°C in
darkness for 8 weeks favored embryo germination and development of plantlets. Cotyledon-stage embryos subjected to desiccation
and chilling treatment cultured on MS with 3% sucrose, 0.24 Phytagel™, 0.44 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), and 0.29 μM gibberellic
acid germinated at a higher frequency (61%) than with 0.44 μM BA alone and control cultures. Germinated plantlets developed
a shoot and root, were acclimatized successfully, and maintained in a growth room for plantlet development. 相似文献

Plants of two accessions of Arachis glabrata were regenerated via somatic embryogenesis. Embryogenic calli were initiated from leaflet explants on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented
with picloram alone or picloram in combination with 6-benzylaminopurine. Leaflets of accession A6138 induced the highest percentage
of somatic embryos in media composed of 10 mg dm−3 and 15 mg dm−3 picloram. In contrast, 5 mg dm−3 picloram with 0.1 mg dm−3 6-benzylaminopurine was one of the most effective combinations in accession AF385. MS medium supplemented with 2 g dm−3 activated charcoal (AC) used for 30 days was the most effective for embryo maturation. After 20 days of culture on MS medium
devoid of growth regulators, 6 % of embryos converted into plantlets in accession A6138. 相似文献

Summary
In vitro regeneration of plants via somatic embryogenesis through cell suspension culture was achieved in horsegram. Embryogenic calluses
were induced on leaf segments on solid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 9.0 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Differentiation of somatic embryos occurred when the embryogenic calluses were transferred
to liquid MS medium containing 2,4-D. Maximum frequency (33.2%) of somatic embryos was observed on MS medium supplemented
with 7.9 μM 2,4-D. Cotyledonary-torpedo-shaped embryos were transferred to liquid MS medium without growth regulators for maturation
and germination. About 5% of the embryos germinated into plants, which grew further on solid MS medium. The plants were hardened
and established in soil. Effects of various auxins, cytokinins, carbohydrates, amino acids, and other additives on induction
and germination of somatic embryos were also studied. A medium supplemented with 7.9 μM 2,4-D, 3.0% sucrose, 40 mg l−1
L-glutamine, and 1.0 μM abscisic acid was effective to achieve a high frequency of somatic embryo induction, maturation, and further development. 相似文献

An efficient protocol was established for regeneration of Desmodium motorium via somatic embryogenesis. Embryogenic calli were induced from cotyledon segments (6 mm, 16 days old) lacking embryo axis,
excised from seedlings grown in vitro on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (2.9 μM)
in combination with 6-benzyladenine (BA) (4.44 and 8.88 μM). Differentiation of embryogenic calli into globular and heart-shaped
somatic embryos was achieved on transfer to hormone-free MS medium. When incubated for 4 days on MS medium supplemented with
BA (8.88 μM), 95% of the globular and heart-shaped somatic embryos matured into torpedo and cotyledonary stages with minimum
(10%) abnormalities. Modified MS basal medium without hormones and containing half-strength macronutrients and 0.88 M sucrose
was suitable for germination of mature somatic embryos. Regenerated plantlets were successfully transferred to earthen pots
with survival rate of 50%. Secondary embryogenesis was observed when pre-existing somatic embryos at globular and heart-shaped
stages were cultured on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of BA, adenine sulphate (AdS) and abscisic acid
(ABA) individually. 相似文献

Six experiments (including pretreatment, embryonic callus induction media, preculture conditions, embryo induction media,
embryo germination media, and genotypic effects) were conducted to develop an efficient cucumber (Cucumis sativus L., 2n = 2x = 14) anther culture protocol. Pretreatment and embryo induction were key factors for successful anther culture. Suitable
temperature stress depended on the ecotype, i.e., cucumbers from cold areas responded well to cold shock whereas those from
temperate areas responded well to heat treatment. The best medium for embryonic callus induction was MS medium supplemented
with 4.44 μM BA, 2.26 μM 2, 4-D, 4.64 μM KIN, 3% sucrose and 0.8% agar. For embryo induction, MS medium supplemented with
0.54 μM NAA, 13.32 μM BA, 3% sucrose and 0.8% agar was optimal, and for embryo germination MS medium containing 2.22 μM BA,
6% sucrose and 1.2% agar was best. Using this protocol, we produced callus from 16 genotypes and regenerated plants from three
of 20 evaluated. Three embryos per anther and 42 DH per 45 anthers (93% success) were obtained for cv. Ningjia No. 1, which
was an improved result over a previous report. The origin of regenerants from microspores was determined by cytological, morphological
and AFLP analyses. 相似文献

A simple and efficient protocol was developed for somatic embryogenesis from leaf and petiole explants of Campanula punctata Lam. var. rubriflora Makino. Somatic embryos (SE) were obtained with greater frequency from petiole explants than from leaf explants when cultured
on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.0 mg L−1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 1.0 mg L−1 6-benzyladenine (BA). On this medium, a mean number of 19.5 and 31.2 SE were developed per leaf and petiole explants, respectively.
Embryos were induced both light and dark conditions but culturing the explants 2 weeks in the dark followed by 3 weeks under
light resulted in high frequency of embryo formation. Globular embryos germinated best on MS medium supplemented with 0.3%
(w/v) activated charcoal (AC) and 1.0 mg L−1 GA3. The germinated plantlets grew further on MS medium containing 0.3% AC. Plantlets were successfully acclimatized in the greenhouse
with 94% survival rate. This is the first report on induction of somatic embryogenesis in this genus and also has implications
for genetic transformation, and mass clonal propagation. 相似文献
