Single-cell origin and development of somatic embryos in Picea abies (L.) Karst. (Norway spruce) and P. glauca (Moench) Voss (white spruce)

The origin and development of somatic embryos in calli initiated from immature zygotic embryos of Picea abies (L.) Karst. (Norway spruce) and P. glauca (Moench) Voss (white spruce) was studied. Immature zygotic embryos cultured on callus induction medium produced two types of white calli that were phenotypically different from one another. The callus that proliferated from the hypocotyl region was white to translucent, glossy, mucilaginous and embryogenic. The callus mass which originated from the radicle end was reddish-white, nonmucilaginous and nonembryogenic. Whole mount preparations of the entire explant with two different types of calli showed the presence of embryogenic cells in the mucilaginous callus mass derived from the hypocotyl region of the zygotic embryo. The origin of somatic embryos in both Norway and white spruce could be traced to single cells of the hypocotyl callus.Abbreviations 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - BAP 6-benzylaminopurine     

Patterns of somatic embryo formation in Siberian larch: embryological aspects

Somatic embryogenesis was induced in Siberian larch by in vitro culturing zygotic embryos at different developmental stages. Cultures were grown in modified Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with hormones 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2 mg/l) and 6-benzylaminopurine (0.5-1 mg/l). The success of somatic embryogenesis in this species depended on the tree genotype and developmental stage of embryos used for culturing. Somatic embryogenesis from immature zygotic embryos at the stage of cotyledon initiation was most active. After 5-10 days, such embryos formed the embryogenic tissue including two cell types--elongated highly vacuolated embryonic tubes and small embryonic cells. Somatic embryos were isolated from proliferating embryogenic tissues after 2 months of culture.

Enhanced somatic single embryo formation by plasmolyzing pretreatment from cultured ginseng cotyledons

Cotyledon explants of Panax ginseng zygotic embryos directly produced somatic embryos on Murashige and Skoog medium without growth regulators. Somatic embryos were formed only near the proximal excised region of cotyledons. Multiple and/or single embryos were formed and the frequency of these formations differed according to the degree of maturity of the zygotic embryos used as the explant source. When cotyledon explants pre-plasmolysed (1.0 M sucrose for 24 h), the frequency of single embryo formation was enhanced regardless of cotyledon maturity. In addition, the distribution pattern of somatic embryos changed markedly because the embryos were formed over the whole surface of the cotyledons. Histological observation revealed that plasmolyzing pretreatment broke the plasmodesmatal connection between cells and when the embryogenic cell divisions commenced, plasmodesmatal strands were hardly observed except for newly formed cell walls. This indicates that the enhanced single embryo formation over the entire surfaces of cotyledon explants might be the result of an interruption of cell–cell interaction by plasmolyzing pretreatment.     

Somatic embryogenesis inGnetum ula Brongn. (Gnetum edule) (Willd) Blume

Summary Somatic embryos ofGnetum ula (Gnetum edule) an endangered gymnosperm closely related to the angiosperms have been induced in vitro. Megagametophyte tissue with immature embryos was cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium. A mucilaginous, translucent embryogenic callus was obtained with 5 mg/l BA. Callus induced with 2,4-D was non-embryogenic. The embryogenic callus in liquid half strength Murashige and Skoog medium without inorganic nitrates supplemented with 2.5 g/l casein hydrolysate and 0.5 g/l L-glutamine gave rise to immature embryos. The embryos matured when treated with 60 g/l sucrose and 10 mg/l abscisic acid.Abbreviations MS Murashige and Skoog - BA 6-benzylaminopurine - 2,4-D 2,4 - dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - ABA abscisic acid     

A novel regeneration system for a wild passion fruit species (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Passiflora cincinnata</Emphasis> Mast.) based on somatic embryogenesis from mature zygotic embryos

The objective of the present work was to induce somatic embryogenesis from zygotic embryos of Passiflora cincinnata Masters. Zygotic embryos formed calli on media with different concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 4.5 μM benzyladenine (BA) after 30 days of in vitro culture. A concentration of 18.1 μM 2,4-D resulted in the largest number of somatic embryos. Embryogenic calli were yellowish and friable, forming whitish proembryogenic masses. Morphologically, embryogenic cells were small and had large nuclei and dense cytoplasm, whereas non-embryogenic cells were elongated, with small nuclei and less dense cytoplasm. Calli cultured under white light on basal Murashige and Skoog’s medium with activated charcoal produced embryos in all developmental stages. There were differences among the treatments, with some leading to the production of calli with embryos and some only to callus formation. Some abnormalities were associated with somatic embryos, including fused axes, fused cotyledons and polycotyledonary embryos. Production of secondary somatic embryos occurred in the first cycle of primary embryo development. Secondary embryos differentiated from the surface of the protodermal layer of primary embryos with intense cell proliferation, successive mitotic divisions in the initial phase of embryoid development, and a vascular system formed with no connection to the parental tissue. This secondary embryogenic system of P. cincinnata is characterized by intense proliferation and maintenance of embryogenic competence after successive subcultures. This reproducible protocol opens new prospects for massive propagation and is an alternative to the current organogenesis-based transformation protocol.     

Rapid propagation of Eleutherococcus senticosus via direct somatic embryogenesis from explants of seedlings

Explants from three different parts (cotyledon, hypocotyl or root) of one week-old seedlings of Eleutherococcus senticosus were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 1.0 mg l^-1 2,4-D. Somatic embryos were formed directly from the surfaces of explants. The frequency of direct somatic embryo formation was the highest in the hypocotyl segments (75%) as compared to cotyledon (56%) or root segments (12%). When hypocotyl explants from 3 different stages of seedlings (zero, one or three week-old) were cultured on MS medium with 1.0 mg l^-1 2,4-D, the frequency of somatic embryo formation rapidly declined as the zygotic embryos germinated. However most somatic embryos (93%) from explants of zygotic embryos developed as fused state (multiple embryo), whereas somatic embryos (over 89%) from more developed seedlings developed into single state (single embryo). Single embryos germinated and regenerated into plantlets with both shoots and roots, while multiple embryos only regenerated into only multiple shoots. Plantlets that regenerated from single embryos of E. senticosus were acclimatized in a greenhouse. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Somatic embryogenesis of two new <Emphasis Type="Italic">Panax ginseng</Emphasis> cultivars,Yun-Poong and Chun-Poong

Somatic embryogenesis from single cells is important for normal plant regeneration of ginseng. Cotyledon explants from zygotic embryos of two new ginseng cultivars, Chun-Poong and Yun-Poong, produced somatic embryos on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium and MS medium containing growth regulators. The highest frequency of single somatic embryo formation was obtained when cotyledon explants were excised from premature (cultured for 1 day) zygotic embryos (about 6 mm in length) of both cvs. Chun-Poong and Yun-Poong and then cultured on MS medium supplemented with 7% sucrose. The frequency of single somatic embryo formation was strongly enhanced when Chun-Poong cotyledons were subjected to plasmolysis with 0.1–0.5 M sucrose for 24 h and Yun-Poong cotyledons to plasmolysis with 1.0 M sucrose for 24 h and then cultured on MS medium with 2,4-D.
