小麦成熟胚愈伤组织诱导及分化研究

以2个小麦品种成熟胚为外植体进行离体培养,研究了不同预处理、不同2,4-D浓度及与KT组合、不同蔗糖浓度等因素对愈伤组织诱导及分化的影响。结果表明:4℃低温预处理可提高愈伤组织的出愈率及再生苗率,2个材料的出愈率及再生苗率均达到90%和30%以上;在不同预处理条件下,2,4-D浓度对出愈率及再生苗率的影响与基因型有关,2,4-D浓度为1~2 mg/L更有利于愈伤组织诱导及分化;附加KT能缓解高浓度2,4-D对再生苗率的抑制作用,而对于在1、2 mg/L 2,4-D的培养基中附加KT则不表现这种作用;蔗糖浓度则在30 g/L条件下更有利于愈伤组织诱导。因此通过4℃低温预处理,在MS基本培养基中附加1~2mg/L 2,4-D及30 g/L蔗糖亦可促进小麦成熟胚愈伤组织的诱导和分化。

猕猴桃胚乳培养中的胚胎发生

中华猕猴桃及硬毛猕猴桃的胚乳培养在MS+Zeatin 3 ppm+2,4-D0.5ppm+CH 400ppm的培养基上诱导产生愈伤组织,在MS+Zeatin 1 ppm+CH 400ppm的分化培养基上产生胚状体和长成完整小植株。细胞组织学观察表明,胚状体起源于愈伤组织内单个细胞,经原胚、球形胚、心形胚等阶段发育成苗。猕猴桃胚乳属于细胞型胚乳,它的这种胚状体起源于愈伤组织内单个细胞的发生方式,也不同于常见的胚状体发生于愈伤组织表面的方式。

Characteristics of Citrus cell cultures during undifferentiated growth on sucrose and somatic embryogenesis on galactose

Growth of willow-leaf mandarin ( Citrus deliciosa Ten.) nucellar callus cultures without embryo formation was supported on sucrose as the sole carbon source. Somatic embryogenesis was obtained by substituting galactose for sucrose at the same concentration (0.15 M ). A histocytological study revealed proliferation of young globular embryos during the first half of the 18-day culture cycle, irrespective of the carbon source. However, during the second half of the cycle, further embryo development failed in cell cultures on sucrose-containing medium. The rate of cell growth and the carbohydrate depletion of the medium were 3-fold higher on sucrose than on galactose-containing medium. Cell suspensions on sucrose differed by an increase in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium utilization soon after subculturing, followed by a sharp decrease. Finally, the phosphorus utilization rate per g dry weight formed was 2-fold higher in cell cultures on galactose during the second half of the culture cycle, coinciding with further embryo ontogenesis.     

Morphogenic studies in tissue cultures of the parasiteSantalum album L.

Whole seeds, excised embryos, and excised endosperm ofSantalum album were aseptically cultured with a view to studying seed germination in isolation from the host species, and to establishing callus cultures from both embryo and endosperm for comparative studies et their morphogenesis. Seed germination and seedling formation occurred normally only on modified White's medium supplemented with casein hydrolysate or coconut milk, or with both substances. Neither the excised embryo nor the endosperm grew on any of the culture media tested. However in about 17 per cent seed cultures on White's medium supplemented with 2,4-D, kinetin, and yeast extract, the endosperm degenerated, whereas the embryo callused and subsequently differentiated into innumerable embryoids; eventually the embryoids developed into normal plantlets. Callusing of the endosperm occurred also in seed cultures on four media supplemented variously with 2,4-D, kinetin, and yeast extract. Although the endosperm tissue grew through several passages no organ fornation was observed.     

Somatic embryogenesis from callus cultures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Terminalia chebula</Emphasis> Retz.: an important medicinal tree

Somatic embryogenesis was obtained from cotyledon and mature zygotic embryo callus cultures of Terminalia chebula Retz. Callus cultures of cotyledon and mature zygotic embryo were initiated on induction medium containing Murashige and Skoog (MS) nutrients with 1.0 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) either 0.01 or 0.1 mg/l Kinetin and 30 g/l sucrose. Induction of somatic embryogenesis, proliferation and development was obtained through different culture passages. Embryogenic cotyledon callus with globular somatic embryos was obtained on MS basal medium supplemented with 50 g/l sucrose. Globular somatic embryos were observed from mature zygotic embryo callus on induction medium. Different stages of somatic embryo development from cotyledon and mature zygotic embryo calluses were observed on MS basal medium supplemented with 50 g/l sucrose after 4 weeks of culture. Histological studies have revealed the developmental stages of somatic embryos. A maximum of 40.3±1.45 cotyledonary somatic embryos/callus was obtained from mature zygotic embryo compared to 7.70±0.37 cotyledonary somatic embryos/callus initiated from cotyledons. Germination of somatic embryos and conversion to plants were achieved. Highest frequency of germination (46.66±0.88) of somatic embryos was obtained on MS basal medium containing benzyladenine (0.5 mg/l) with 30 g/l sucrose.     

Changes in germination, growth and soluble sugar contents of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench seeds under various abiotic stresses

The effect of various abiotic stresses on germination rate, growth and soluble sugar content in Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench cv. CSH 6 seed embryos and endosperm during early germination was investigated. Under stress conditions germination, water potential and tissue water content decreased markedly. Subsequently, this reduction resulted in marked decreases in fresh weight both in embryos and endosperm. Conversely, a substantial increase in dry weight was observed. Furthermore, a considerable increase in the sugar contents in both embryo and endosperm was detected. The fructose level was always higher than glucose and sucrose in response to various stresses. However, as compared to the control the level of glucose and sucrose was higher in embryos and endosperm after stress treatments. Based upon these results a possible physiological role of sugars in the germination of sorghum seeds is discussed.     

Characterization of the two maize embryo-lethal defective kernel mutants rgh*-1210 and fl*-1253b: effects on embryo and gametophyte development

We have examined the effects on embryonic and gametophytic development of two nonallelic defective-kernel mutants of maize. Earlier studies indicated that both mutants are abnormal in embryonic morphogenesis as well as in the formation of their endosperm. Mutant rgh*-1210 embryos depart from the normal embryogenic pathway at the proembryo and transition stage, by developing meristematic lobes and losing bilateral symmetry. They continue growth as irregular cell masses that enlarge and become necrotic. Somatic embryos arising in rgh*-1210 callus cultures display the rgh*-1210 mutant phenotype. Mutant fl*-1253B embryos are variably blocked from the coleoptilar stage through stage 2. Following formation of the shoot apex in the mutant embryos the leaf primordia and tissues surrounding the embryonic axis continue growth and cell division, while the scutellum ceases development and becomes hypertrophied. Mutant fl*-1253B embryos are unable to germinate, either in mutant kernels or as immature embryos in culture, and the mutant scutellar tissue does not produce regenerable callus. Expression of the fl*-1253B locus during male gametophytic development is revealed by a marked reduction in pollen transmission as a result of mutant expression during the interval between meiosis and the initiation of pollen tube growth. In both mutants, there is considerable proliferation of the aleurone cells of the endosperm. Mutant expression of rgh*-1210 in the female gametophyte is revealed by the abnormal antipodal cells of the embryo sac. These results show that these two gene loci play unique and crucial roles in normal morphogenesis of the embryo. In addition, it is evident that both mutants are pleiotropic in affecting the development of the endosperm and gametophyte as well as the embryo. These pleiotropisms suggest some commonality in the gene regulation of development in these three tissues.     

Regeneration of somatic embryos in Theobroma cacao L. in temporary immersion bioreactor and analyses of free amino acids in different tissues

The present study aimed at developing temporary immersion bioreactor techniques for multiplication of cacao somatic embryos. Temporary Immersion System (TIS), i.e. flooding of plant tissue at regular time intervals provides an efficient way to propagate plants. Somatic embryos were regenerated in twin flask bioreactors. The TIS proved to be suitable for mass regeneration of somatic embryos and for their subsequent direct sowing. The number of embryos after 3 months of culture was significantly higher in TIS cultures than in the solid medium variant. TIS also improved embryo development regarding the conversion to torpedo shaped forms. Matured embryos derived from TIS and pre-treated with 6% sucrose were converted into plants after direct sowing. Additionally to the influence of culture conditions on the development of somatic embryogenesis the content and composition of free amino acids were analysed. The content of free amino acids in somatic embryos rose as immersion frequency increased. The endogenous free GABA content in embryogenic callus was significantly higher than in non-embryogenic callus.     

Maturation and germination of oak somatic embryos originated from leaf and stem explants: RAPD markers for genetic analysis of regenerants

Experiments were performed to determine the influence of maturation medium carbohydrate content on the rates of germination and plantlet conversion (root and shoot growth) of somatic embryos from four embryogenic lines derived from leaf or internode explants of Quercus robur L. seedlings. The conversion rate was favoured by high carbohydrate content as long as the maturation medium contained at least 2% sucrose, which was necessary for healthy embryo development. Given this, sorbitol and mannitol favoured the conversion rate more efficiently than sucrose, the highest rate, 32%, being achieved by medium with 6% sorbitol and 3% sucrose. Maturation treatment did not affect the root or shoot lengths of converted embryos. In supplementary experiments, 2 weeks of gibberellic acid treatment between maturation and germination treatments did not improve germination rates, but did reduce root length and the number of leaves per regenerated plantlet. In the four embryogenic lines tested, plant recovery rate was enhanced by inclusion of benzyladenine into the germination medium following culture of the embryos on maturation medium with 6% sorbitol and 2-3% sucrose. In embryogenic systems it is important to assess the uniformity of the regenerants. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis using 32 arbitrary oligonucleotide primers was performed to study variability in DNA sequences within and between four embryogenic lines. No intraclonal nor interclonal polymorphism was detected between embryogenic lines originating from different types of explant from the same seedling, but every one of the primers detected enough polymorphism among clones originating from different plants to allow these three origins to be distinguished. No differences in DNA sequences between regenerated plantlets and their somatic embryos of origin were detected, but a nodular callus line that had lost its embryogenic capacity was found to be mutant with respect to three other clones originating from the same plantlet. This study shows that high carbohydrate levels in the maturation medium significantly increase plant conversion of oak somatic embryos, which exhibit no variation in DNA sequences when proliferated by secondary embryogenesis.     

Somatic embryogenesis in cell suspension cultures of Acacia sinuata (Lour.) Merr.

Summary Suspension cultures initiated from calluses derived from seedling leaf explants of Acacia sinuata (Lour.) Merr. produced somatic embryos. Embryogenic callus was induced on semisolid MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium supplemented with 4.52 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2.22 μM 6-benzylaminopurine. A high frequency of somatic embryos was induced in MS liquid medium supplemented with 4.52 μM 2,4-D and 10% coconut water. Further studies on ontogeny of somatic embryos showed that the cells destined to become somatic embryos divided into spherical proembryos. Subsequent development led to the formation of globular, heart, torpedo-shaped and cotyledonary-stage embryos. The conversion of somatic embryos occurred on auxin-free MS medium. Effects of various auxins, cytokinins, carbohydrates and amino acids in enhancing productin, of somatic embryos were studied. MS medium supplemented with 87.64 mM sucrose and 342.46 μM glutamine promoted higher somatic embryo production whereas cytokinin had no effect and led to recallusing of embryos. About 8–10% of embryos converted into plants.     

Osmoregulation, growth and sucrose accumulation in germinated Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek) seeds treated with polyethylene glycol

Germinated seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) were grown in water or in polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions. After endosperm removal, the water relations, growth, dry weight, sucrose and reducing sugar content of the embryo were determined. Under water sstress conditions, water content and osmotic potential (π₀) at saturation, growth and dry weight were lower than in non-stressed controls. The reduction in dry weight indicated a lower uptake of solutes from the endosperm and the decrease in π₀ was not accompanied by an increase in the amount of the accumulated solutes. It is suggested that embryos of stressed fenugreek seeds control osmotic potential by reduction of water uptake and that this results in reduction of growth. Embryos isolated from germinated seeds ("naked" embryos) were grown in water or in PEG solutions, with or without galactose (as an external solute source substituting for the endosperm). The results indicate that a decrease in the external solute did not account for growth reduction under conditions of water stress, and that decreased solute transport to the embryo may be important. The sucrose contents of "naked" embryos and of embryos from whole seeds were higher after PEG treatment, while reducing sugar contents were lower compared to non-stressed controls. The increased sucrose accumulation may be due to decreased sucrose hydrolysis.
