大麦不同基因型游离小孢子的直接培养再生及培养体系的优化

以微搅拌法建立了小孢子直接游离的预处理和培养程序。在大田生长的４个对培养反应不同的大麦基因型上,以新鲜幼穗游离小孢子进行直接培养,均成功地诱导了胚状体并获得再生绿色植株。小孢子的发育进程说明,直接游离的小泡子在预处理过程中的发育要慢于在花药中预处理的小孢子,而且其培养效率也较低。直接游离小孢子的培养密度以０．８～１．０×１０５／ｍｌ较理想,至少应不低于６×１０４／ｍｌ．８％－１０％的糖浓度可明显提高小孢子分裂频率和胚状体诱导频率。实验结果也表明两种培养基ＦＨＧ和ＭＮ６无明显差异,均适宜于直接游离的小孢子培养,并对游离小孢子直接培养在理论和应用上的意义进行了讨论     

Recurrent somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from immature zygotic embryos of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) and cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis)

A simple and rapid protocol was established for repetitive somatic embryogenesis and subsequent plant regeneration in two important Brassica oleracea varieties, cabbage and cauliflower. Direct regeneration of somatic embryos (SEs) was achieved from immature zygotic embryos cultured on B5 plant growth regulator (PGR)-free (B5-0) induction medium and on B5 medium supplemented with 1 mg l^?1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) (B5-D). Zygotic embryos of both cabbage and cauliflower at the cotyledonary (C) stage (1.8 mm long) incubated on B5-0 medium displayed the highest embryo-forming capacities (EFCs) of 11.84 and 11.95, respectively. Secondary somatic embryos (SSEs) appeared on the cabbage and cauliflower’s primary embryos at a high frequency (83.3 and 87.5 %, respectively), and this process continued in a repetitive way on PGR-free Murashige and Skoog (MS-0) medium. The embryogenic potential of the cultures with a gradual diminution was maintained for 10 months (ten cycles). A total of 20 % of the mature SSEs from cabbage and 55 % from cauliflower spontaneously regenerated plantlets on MS-0 medium. The addition of 1 mg l^?1 6-benzyladenine (BA) or 6-furfurylaminopurine (Kin) in the regeneration medium significantly improved somatic embryo conversion into plantlets by up to 56 % in cabbage and 79 % in cauliflower. Regenerated plants acclimated successfully to ex vitro conditions and displayed morphological and reproductive characteristics similar to seed-derived plants. Effective recurrent somatic embryogenesis may be an appropriate practical solution for clonal propagation and genetic modifications of cabbage and cauliflower.     

Plant regeneration from isolated microspore cultures of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris spp. pekinensis)

Isolated microspores of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. pekinensis) were incubated in modified NN medium containing 10% sucrose in darkness at 33°C for one day followed by culture at 25°C. After 14 days of culture, microspores developed into embryos ranging from globular to cotyledonary stage. Plants were regenerated after transfer of embryos to medium containing 3% sucrose and no plant growth regulators.Abbreviations NN Nitsch and Nitsch - MS Murashige and Skoog - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - BA 6-benzylaminopurine     

结球甘蓝游离小孢子胚胎发生

Direct somatic embryogenesis from pericycle cells of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) root explants

Cotyledon, hypocotyl or root explants of 7-day-old broccoli seedlings were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) agar or liquid medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l⁻¹ 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The frequency of direct somatic embryo formation was 100% when root explants were cultured in liquid medium. Histological analysis indicated that somatic embryos were initiated directly from the pericycle cell layers of root explants as early as 1 day after liquid culture. Genotype did not affect the frequency of somatic embryo formation or the number of somatic embryos per explant. All broccoli genotypes examined had 100% somatic embryo induction efficiency, and the number of somatic embryos per 0.8 mm root segment ranged from 22.9 in ‘Luhui’ to 26.0 in ‘Haizi’. The number of normally developed somatic embryos in culture increased with increasing 2,4-D concentration. Plantlet regeneration frequency was the highest (73.3%) when germinated plantlets were transferred to 1/2 strength MS agar medium containing 1.0 mg l⁻¹ 6-benzyladenine (BA). When regenerated plantlets were transferred to a greenhouse, approximately 75% survived and there were no morphological differences between regenerated plants and seed-derived controls. The protocols established in this study will benefit large-scale vegetative propagation and transformation-based genetic improvement of broccoli.     

In vitro plant regeneration from immature zygotic embryos and repetitive somatic embryogenesis in kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes)

A simple and efficient protocol for direct somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration of kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes) was developed. Somatic embryos were induced from immature zygotic embryos at different developmental stages cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Zygotic embryos at the early cotyledonary stage, which were cultured for 4 wk on plant growth regulator-free (PGR-free) medium, displayed the highest percentage of somatic embryogenesis (80.7%). Embryogenic tissue could be subcultured on the same medium for over 1 yr. Embryogenic lines derived from early cotyledonary stage zygotic embryos displayed the highest intensity of secondary embryogenesis (highest mean number of new somatic embryos per responsive somatic embryo explant). Histological analyses confirmed the direct origin of the secondary somatic embryos. Prolonged culturing of embryogenic tissue on PGR-free medium led to somatic embryo development into plantlets that were successfully acclimated in the greenhouse with a survival rate of 72.5%. Flow cytometry analysis showed no ploidy variation in 96.7% of the acclimated plants.     

Medium and genotype factors influencing shoot regeneration from cotyledonary explants of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis)

Medium conditions for reliable shoot regeneration from cotyledonary explants of Chinese cabbage were examined. Maximum shoot regeneration was obtained in the presence of 5 mg/l BA and 0.5 mg/l NAA. Shoot induction was further improved by the addition of AgNO₃ as well as higher concentrations (1.2–1.6%) of agar in the regeneration medium. When 123 genotypes were tested, a large variation in regeneration frequency was observed, ranging from 95% to 0%. Shoot regeneration frequency was not related to origin and days to maturity of the genotypes. Ethylene production from cultured explants seemed to play an important role in shoot regeneration. Explants of highly responsive genotypes or if cultured on the medium solidified with a higher concentration of agar generally showed low levels of ethylene production. However, AgNO₃, which also enhanced shoot induction, resulted in an increase in ethylene production. The possible interaction between ethylene and shoot regeneration is discussed.

Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation of Brassica oleracea var. sabauda and B. oleracea var. capitata

Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4M70GUS-mediated transformation of Savoy cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. sabauda) and two local lines of cabbage (B. oleracea L. var. capitata) was obtained using hypocotyl and cotyledon explants. The percentage of explants which formed roots was very high in all genotypes: 92.3 % in Savoy Gg-1, 64.4 % in cabbage P₂₂I₅, and 87.2 % in P₃₄I₅. Spontaneous shoot regeneration of excised root cultures grown on the hormone-free medium occurred in all three genotypes. In cabbage lines P₂₂I₅ and P₃₄I₅ shoot regeneration was higher (9.3 and 2.6 % respectively) than in Savoy cabbage Gg-1 (1.3 %). Transgenic nature of hairy root-derived plants was evaluated by GUS histological test and PCR analysis. All the tested cabbage shoots were GUS positive whilst in a Savoy cabbage GUS expression was registered only in 55 % of tested clones. PCR analysis demonstrated the presence of the GUS gene in regenerated shoot clones and in T₁ progeny.     

Embryogenesis and plant regeneration of hot pepper (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Capsicum annuum</Emphasis> L.) through isolated microspore culture

We report high frequencies of embryo production and plant regeneration through isolated microspore culture of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Microspores cultured in modified NLN medium (NLNS) divided and developed to embryos. Globular and heart-shaped embryos were observed from 3 weeks after the beginning of culture, and many embryos reached the cotyledonary stage after 4 weeks of culture. These cotyledonary embryos developed to plantlets after transfer to solid B5 basal medium. We also optimized conditions for embryo production by varying the pretreatment media, the carbon sources, and culture densities. Heat shock treatment in sucrose-starvation medium was more effective than in B5 medium. Direct comparisons of sucrose and maltose as carbon sources clearly demonstrated the superiority of sucrose compared to maltose, with the highest frequency of embryo production being obtained in 9% (w/v) sucrose. Microspore plating density was critical for efficient embryonic induction and development, with an optimal plating density of 8 × 10⁴–10 × 10⁴/ml. Under our optimized culture conditions, we obtained over 54 embryos, and an average of 5.5 cotyledonary embryos when 10 × 10⁴ microspores were grown on an individual plate.     

Effects of genotypes and culture conditions on microspore embryogenesis and plant regeneration in several subspecies of Brassica rapa L.

A number of factors influencing microspore embryogenesis and plant regeneration were examined in five subspecies (rapa, oleifera, niposinica, perviridis, broccoletto) of B. rapa. Addition of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) in 1/2 NLN-10 medium improved the embryo yield by 2?C12 fold. Addition of activated charcoal (AC) in the medium was not effective for microspore embryogenesis. Moreover, AC canceled the positive effect of BA, when the medium containing both BA and AC was used. Of 24 genotypes examined for microspore embryogenesis, 22 genotypes of all five subspecies produced embryos ranging from 0.02 to 15.0 per 2?×?10⁵ microspores, but two genotypes were not responsive. Low temperature pretreatment of flower buds significantly improved the microspore embryogenesis. When cotyledonary embryos were subcultured on a filter paper placed on top of 0.8?% agar-solidified B5-2 medium and 1.6?% agar B5-2 medium, plant regenerations were increased 4?C8 fold compared to 0.8?% agar medium. The ploidy levels of regenerated plants in three genotypes were determined by flow cytometry, revealing that 66?C100?% of them were diploid. The results enable the advancement of breeding programs and genetic studies in B. rapa.
