A protocol has been developed for the induction of somatic embryogenesis from flower explants of chamomile (Chamomilla recutita L.). The effects of several plant growth regulators [α-naphthylacetic acid (NAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 6-benzyladenine (BA) and kinetin (Kin), alone or in combination]
and the flower type (disk or ray flower) were investigated. Both types of flowers responded to the callus and shoot induction
treatments, but formation of globular somatic embryos took place only on disk-flower-derived explants after 2–4 weeks of culture
on a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented either with 8.87 μm BA and 1.07 μm NAA or with 26.8 μm NAA and 11.5 μm Kin. However, fully developed, cotyledonary-stage somatic embryos could be induced only on the NAA/Kin medium, 10 weeks after
culture initiation. Germination of the embryos and plant regeneration took place after subculture for 4–5 weeks onto medium
of the same composition. Plantlets regenerated from embryos flowered in vitro on a MS medium supplemented with 8.87 μm BA and 1.07 μm NAA. The significance of the results with respect to chamomile micropropagation and the utilization of wild populations in
breeding programs is discussed.

Nodal explants from selected trees of gum karaya (Sterculia urens Roxb.) in the adult growth phase cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6.62 μm N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) produced an average of six adventitious shoots in 30 days. Shoots were rooted in vitro on 1/4-strength
MS medium containing 9.82 μm indole-3-butyric acid. Nodulated callus was produced from hypocotyl explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 4.52
μm 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 8.90 μm BAP. Somatic embryos developed when the nodulated callus was transferred to MS medium containing 0.45 μm thidiazuron (TDZ). TDZ treatment for 2 days gave the optimum response. Over 30% of the somatic embryos developed into plantlets
when transferred to 1/4-strength MS basal medium without any growth regulators. Plantlets produced from adventitious shoots
and somatic embryos were acclimatized to ex vitro conditions and established in the field.

Somatic embryogenesis from mature leaves of rose (Rosa sp.) 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Several plant growth regulators (0.3–53.3 μm 6-benzyladenine, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, gibberellic acid, 3-indoleacetic acid, p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, kinetin and α-naphthylacetic acid), alone or in combination, and culture conditions were tested for their capacity to induce somatic embryogenesis
from mature leaf and stem explants of rose (Rosa sp.) of four commercial rose cultivars (Baccara, Mercedes, Ronto and Soraya). Somatic embryos were only induced from mature
leaf explants derived from Soraya on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 53.5 μm
p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid and 4.6 μm kinetin, although satisfactory callus induction rates were obtained from all cultivars. After subculturing on the same medium,
embryos at various developmental stages (globular, heart and torpedo shaped) were transferred for maturation onto a MS medium
supplemented with 5.2 μm 6-benzyladenine and 5.7 μm 3-indoleacetic acid. Germination of mature embryos took place after subculturing them onto medium of the same composition.
Plantlets regenerated from embryos and bearing three to four leaves were transferred to a greenhouse.

Friable embryogenic callus and somatic embryo formation from cotyledon explants of African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Embryogenic callus and somatic embryos were induced from cotyledonary explants of African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.). Cotyledons were first cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg l–1 2,4-D and 0.2 mg l–1 kinetin. After 5 weeks, calli were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 0.02 mg l–1 thidiazuron where compact embryogenic callus developed. Friable embryogenic callus developed when the compact embryogenic
callus was transferred to medium containing 2,4-D and subcultured every 2 weeks. Friable embryogenic callus has been maintained
for more than 2 years without losing the capacity to generate embryos. Embryo development was obtained when friable embryogenic
callus was transferred to MS medium supplemented with 3 mg l–1 ABA and 60 g l–1 sucrose. The addition of 10–30 mM
l-glutamine improved embryo development.

Summary A novel protocol has been developed for inducing somatic embryogenesis from leaf cultures of Decalepis hamiltonii. Callus was obtained from leaf sections in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA)+N6-benzyladenine (BA) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)+BA. Nodular embryogenic callus developed from the cut end of
explants on media containing 2,4-D and BA, whereas compact callus developed on media containing NAA and BA. Upon subsequent
transfer of explants with primary callus onto MS media containing zeatin and/or gibberellic acid (GA3) and BA, treatment with zeatin (13.68μM) and BA (10.65 μM) resulted in the induction of the highest number of somatic embryos directly from nodular tissue. The maturation of embryos
took place along with the induction on the same medium. Embryogenic calluses with somatic embryos were subcultured onto MS
basal medium supplemented with 4.56μM zeatin+10.65 μM BA. After 4wk, more extensive differentiation of somatic embryos was observed. The mature embryos developed into complete
plantlets on growth regulator-free MS medium. A distinct feature of this study is the induction of somatic embryogenesis from
leaf explants of Decalepis hamiltonii, which has not been reported previously. By using this protocol, complete plantlets could be regenerated through indirect
somatic embryogenesis or organogenesis from leaf explants in 12–16 wk. 相似文献

Summary Suspension culture of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) has been an inefficient method for production of somatic embryos owing to problems with embryo maturation and conversion.
Embryogenic callus of cv. Green Long was induced on semisolid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 6.8 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2.2 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). A large number of globular somatic embryos were obtained on transfer of the callus to MS liquid
medium supplemented with 87.6 mM sucrose, 1.1 μM 2,4-D, and improved by the addition of 342.4 μM
l-glutamine. MS medium supplemented with 87.6 mM sucrose was more effective in somatic embryo production than other sugars. Subsequent development led to the formation of
heart-and torpedo-shaped embryos. Maturation of somatic embryos occurred on plant growth regulator-free MS semi-solid medium
containing 175.2 mM sucrose and 0.5 gl−1 activated charcoal. Conversion of embryos into plants was achieved on half-strength MS semi-solid medium containing 87.6
mM sucrose and 1.4 μM gibberellic acid (GA3) in a 16h photoperiod. Twenty-seven percent of embryos were converted into normal plants. 相似文献

Somatic embryogenesis from cultures of shoot apices, cotyledon and young leaves of in vitro shoots of Agave vera-cruz Mill. was studied. Embryogenic callus was obtained when explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium (1962)
supplemented with L2 vitamins, 4.52 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d) or 5.37 μM ∝-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Somatic embryos differentiated from this embryogenic callus upon subculture
to maturation/conversion medium containing cytokinin either alone or with auxin and l-glutamine. The best combination of growth regulators for development of somatic embryos was found to be 5.37 μM naphthalene
acetic acid plus 0.91 μM zeatin and 40 g/l sucrose. The conversion frequency of somatic embryos to plantlets varied from 46–50%.
Rooted plantlets were transferred directly to pots containing a soil, sand, and manure mixture without any hardening phase
with 96–98% survival of the plantlets. Based on the histological observations, the potential origin of the somatic embryo
is discussed. 相似文献

Embryogenic cultures were induced from pinnae removed from young leaf flushes of mature-phase trees of the endangered cycad
species, Ceratozamia euryphyllidia. Induction media consisted of B5 major salts, Murashige and Skoog minor salts and organics, 400 mg l–1 glutamine, 100 mg l–1 asparagine, 100 mg l–1 arginine, 60 g l–1 sucrose, 2 g l–1 gellan gum, 4.65–13.94 μm kinetin and 4.52–9.05 μm 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Cultures were maintained in darkness. Embryogenic cultures were comprised of precotyledonary
somatic embryos that proliferated by somatic polyembryogenesis following subculture onto medium without plant growth regulators.
Somatic embryo development and maturation occurred spontaneously from proliferating cultures on medium without plant growth
regulators. Somatic embryos were monocotyledonous and mature somatic embryos germinated on semisolid medium without growth
regulators. Subsequent development, which included the elongation of the first leaves, occurred only after subculture onto
semisolid medium without plant growth regulators containing 0.5% (wt/vol) activated charcoal and under low light intensity.
The time period from explanting to plant recovery was approximately 3 years.

Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis, and transient gene expression in sweet potato protoplasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A method for regenerating plants from petiole protoplasts of the in vitro-raised sweet potato cultivar Jewel is described.
Protoplast yields of 3.0–5.0×106 were obtained following 4–6 h digestion of 1- to 2-cm petioles (1 g fresh weight) with 1% Cellulase-R10, 2% Macerozyme-R10,
and 0.3% Pectolyase Y-23 in a washing solution with 9% mannitol. A plating density of 105 protoplasts/ml was optimal for subsequent division. An initial division frequency of 12–15% was obtained in liquid or agarose-solidified
KP8 culture medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) (0.9 μm), and zeatin (2.3 μm). Colonies consisting of 100–200 cells were formed after 4 weeks in the dark at 24±2°C. The frequency of colony formation
was improved by the gradual addition of fresh liquid KP8 medium of lower osmoticum. Protocalli (1–2 mm in diameter) were formed
after an additional 4–6 weeks under continuous illumination and regular dilution with fresh culture medium. Morphogenic callus
formed globular and heart-shaped embryos that developed into cotyledon stage embryos, following transfer of calli onto medium
containing 2,4-D (11.3 μm) and benzylaminopurine (2.2 μm). Subsequently, embryo conversion to plantlets was obtained on basal medium with 2% sucrose and 3.5 μm gibberellic acid. Regenerated plantlets were successfully transplanted in soil. Mature plants appeared phenotypically normal.
The same petiole protoplast populations showed transient expression of the gusA gene introduced using electroporation.

Somatic embryogenesis was induced from phylloclade explants of Schlumbergera truncata cv. Russian Dancer. Callus developed on phylloclade explants and sub-cultured over a period of 16 months on MS medium containing
mainly cytokinins was superior for the induction of somatic embryos compared to callus grown for a shorter time in the establishment
medium. Sub-culture of callus grown in SH-or MS-based liquid media supplemented with 7.0 μM kinetin and transferred onto solid
MS-based medium with either 0.45 μM 2,4-D or without hormones resulted in the differentiation into somatic embryos. SH-based medium proved better than MS-based medium
when used as the first medium for the induction of somatic embryogenesis. However, somatic embryogenesis, contrary to adventitious
shoot formation, was reduced when 2,4-D was included in the MS-based medium used for final transfer compared to the medium without growth regulators, indicating
that a critical hormonal balance was reached. Somatic embryos developed root and shoot poles when grown on G medium. On this
medium approximately 70% germination was recorded in the embryos that were differentiated earlier from the callus that was
grown for a longer time in the establishment medium. This callus was grown on either SH- or MS-based medium supplemented with
7.0 μM kinetin, and then transferred after 30 days (from SH medium) onto MS medium without hormones or after 40 days (from
MS medium) onto MS medium with 0.45 μM 2,4-D. Furthermore, plants from somatic embryos were successfully potted in soil and showed further growth and formation of a second
set of phylloclades (secondary phylloclades). Histological studies showed that somatic embryos had no detectable connection
with the mother explants and that advanced stages of somatic embryos had a contained vascular system. In addition to the normal
dicotyledonous embryos, anomalous embryos with multiple cotyledons and vase-like embryos were observed. Secondary embryos
were also recorded in this study. 相似文献

Summary Sodium chloride-tolerant plantlets of Dendrocalamus strictus were regenerated successfully from NaCl-tolerant embryogenic callus via somatic embryogenesis. The selection of embryogenic
callus tolerant to 100 mM NaCl was made by exposing the callus to increasing (0–200 mM) concentrations of NaCl in Murashige and Skoog medium having 3% (w/v) sucrose, 0.8% (w/v) agar, 3.0 mg l−1 (13.6 μM) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and 0.5mg l−1 (2.3μM) kinetin (callus initiation medium). The tolerance of the selected embryogenic callus to 100 mM NaCl was stable through three successive transfers on NaCl-free callus initiation medium. The tolerant embryogenic callus
had high levels of Na+, sugar, free amino acids, and proline but a slight decline was recorded in K+ level. The stable 100 mM NaCl-tolerant embryogenic callus differentiated somatic embryos on maintenance medium [MS medium +3% sucrose +0.8% agar +2.0
mg l−1 (9.0 μM) 2,4-D+0.5 mg l−1 (2.3 μM) kinetin] supplemented with different (0–200 mM) concentrations of NaCl. About 39% of mature somatic embryos tolerant to 100 mM NaCl germinated and converted into plantlets in germination medium [half-strength MS+2% sucrose+0.02 mg l−1 (0.1 μM) α-naphthaleneacetic acid +0.1 mg l−1 (0.49 μM) indole-3-butyric acid] containing 100 mM NaCl. Of these plantlets about 31% established well on transplantation into a garden soil and sand (1:1) mixture containing
0.2% (w/w) NaCl. 相似文献

Factors affecting somatic embryogenesis in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) using leaflet explants of seedlings obtained from aseptically germinated embryo axes were evaluated. Somatic embryogenesis
was influenced by developmental stage, leaflet size, induction medium, and time on induction medium. Leaflets that were 5–7
mm long had a greater embryogenic response than smaller or larger leaflets. Percent embryogenesis and mean number of embryos
were related to the developmental stage of germinating seedlings. A greater response was obtained if leaflets were folded
and closely appressed. Preselection of leaflets increased percent embryogenesis from 21% up to 67%. As leaflets unfolded,
embryogenesis decreased; open leaflets lost the potential for embryogenesis. The optimal induction conditions were a 7-day
incubation period on Murashige and Skoog medium with 136 μm 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.93 μm kinetin. Somatic embryos germinated to form plants that exhibited a normal morphology.

Summary A protocol was developed for high frequency somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants
of Eruca sativa. Explants grown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.52 μM 2,4-D formed embryogenic callus after 4 wk of culture. Secondary somatic embryos were also produced from primary somatic
embryos on MS medium containing 0.56 μM 2,4-D. Somatic embryos developed into mature embryos on MS medium in the presence of 45 gl−1 polyethylene glycol. After desiccation, somatic embryos developed into plantlets by culturing the mature somatic embryos
on 1/2 x MS medium containing 0.24 μM indole-3-butyric acid. 相似文献

Mature zygotic embryos of three genotypes of Passiflora edulis Sims, including ‘FB-100’, ‘FB-200’, and ‘FB-300’ were incubated on a Murashige and Skoog (MS) (1962) medium supplemented with different concentrations (18.1–114.8 μM) of 2,4-diclorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 4.4 μM of
6-benzyladenine (BA). MS basal medium and MS with BA induced germination of P. edulis embryos. The highest frequencies of embryogenic calli were observed when explants were incubated on MS medium supplemented
with 72.4 μM 2,4-D and 4.4 μM BA for ‘FB-200’, which showed the highest potential for embryogenic callus formation. Cytological
and histological analyses of pro-embryogenic callus revealed two distinct cell types: thin-walled, small, isodiametric cells
with large nuclei and dense cytoplasm, typical of intense metabolic activity; and elongated and vacuolated cells, with small
nuclei and less dense cytoplasm. Differentiation of somatic embryos was promoted on MS medium supplemented with activated
charcoal and indole-3-acetyl-l-aspartic acid (IAA-Asp) either with or without 2,4-D. However, no conversion of somatic embryos into plantlets was observed. 相似文献

Summary Regeneration of plants via somatic embryogenesis was achieved from zygotic embryo explants isolated from mature seeds of Schisandra chinensis. Merkle and Sommer's medium, fortified with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D; 9.04 μM) and zeatin (0.09 μM), was effective for induction of embryogenic callus. The development of a proembryogenic mass and somatic embryos occurred
on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) free of plant growth regulators. The embryogenic callus induced on Merkle and Sommer's
medium supplemented with 2,4-D (9.04 μM) and zeatin (0.09 μM) showed development of the maximum number of somatic embryos when transferred to MS medium free of plant growth regulators.
The maximum maturation and germination of cotyledonary somatic embryos (46.3%) occurred on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D
(0.45 μM) and N6-benzyladenine (1.11 μM). The somatic embryo-derived plants were successfully hardned, with a survival rate of approximately 67%, and established
in the field. 相似文献

Summary Efficient and highly reproducible induction of somatic embryogenesis was obtained in four out of seven selected clones of
neem, Azadirachta indica A. Juss. This was achieved either directly from root and nodal explants or indirectly from callus cultures initiated from
leaf explants excised from 1-yr-old axenic plants. Direct induction of somatic embryogenesis was achieved both from nodal
and root segments within 8 wk of culture on MS1 medium without growth regulators. However, the addition of 2.3–4.5 μM thidiazuron and 0.5 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid into the medium were necessary to induce somatic embryogenesis via callus phase from leaf
explants. Repetitive embryogenesis was observed within 3–4 wk following transfer of somatic embryos to a plant growth regulator-free
medium. When somatic embryos of nodal and root segments were left on the induction medium without subculturing, approximately
15% of the somatic embryos developed into whole plantlets after passing through a series of developmental stages. Plantlets
thus produced were hardy, lush green, and acclimatized casily under greenhouse conditions. However, somatic embryos derived
from leaf explants showed low conversion rates (<5%). HPLC analysis revealed no detectable levels of azadirachtin in somatic
embryos. 相似文献

Summary Establishment of fast-growing, highly regenerable callus cultures was examined in Muscari armeniacum Leichtl. ex Bak. in order to develop an efficient genetic transformation system. High-frequency callus formation was obtained
from leaf explants of cv. Blue Pearl on media containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), α-naphthaleneacetic acid
(NAA) or 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram, PIC). Fast-growing, yellowish nodular callus lines and white friable
callus lines containing a few somatic embryos were established on initiation medium supplemented with 4.5 μM 2,4-D and with 54 μM NAA, respectively. The yellowish nodular calluses vigorously produced shoot buds after transfer to media containing 0.44–44
μM 6-benzyladenine (BA), whereas the white friable calluses produced numerous somatic embryos upon transfer to plant growth
regulator-free (PGR-F) medium. Histological observation of shoot buds and somatic embryos indicated that the former consisted
of an apparent shoot meristem and several leaf primordia, and the latter had two distinct meristematic regions, corresponding
to shoot and root meristems. Both shoot buds and somatic embryos developed into complete plantlets on PGR-F medium. Regenerated
plants showed no observable morphological alterations. High proliferation and regeneration ability of these calluses, were
maintained for over 2 yr. 相似文献

The report describes a system for somatic embryogenesis and direct plant regeneration from the embryos of Manihot glaziovii. Somatic embryos were obtained by culturing young leaf lobes (3–6 mm long) adjacent to the apex in Murashige and Skoog medium
containing 18 μm 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid for 20 days and then transferring them to a maturation medium with 0.5 μm 6-benzylaminopurine. Secondary embryogenesis was induced from cotyledonary segments of somatic embryos by using the same
protocol as that for primary embryogenesis. For regeneration, somatic embryos were cultured in medium supplemented with 10−4 m kinetin and 53.4% of them developed into plantlets. Linamarin and linamarase were not detected in calli or in somatic embryos.
Linamarin content was found to be highest in leaves of regenerated plantlets, followed by stem and root tissues. Levels of
linamarase activity were almost the same in leaves and stem tissues and very low in roots.

Summary
In vitro propagation of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Wallich ex Nees through somatic embryogenesis, and influence of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-1) on induction, maturation, and
conversion of somatic embryos were investigated. The concentration of 2,4-D in callus induction medium determined the induction,
efficacy of somatic embryogenesis, embryo maturation, and conversion. Friable callus initiated from leaf and internode explants
grown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.26, 4.52, 6.78, and 9.05μM 2,4-D started to form embryos at 135, 105, 150, and 185d, respectively, after explant establishment. Callus initiated at
13.56μM 2,4-D did not induce embryos even after 240 d, whereas those initiated on MS medium with 4.52μM 2,4-D was most favorable for the formation and maturation of somatic embryos. Callus subcultured on the medium with reduced
concentration of 2,4-D (2.26μM) became embryogenic. This embryogenic callus gave rise to the highest number of embryos (mean of 312 embryos) after being
transferred to half-strength MS basal liquid medium. The embryos were grown only up to the torpedo stage. A higher frequency
of embryos developed from callus initiated on 2.26 or 4.52 μM 2,4-D underwent maturation compared to that initiated on higher concentrations of 2.4-D. The addition of 11.7μM silver nitrate to half-strength MS liquid medium resulted in 71% of embryos undergoing maturation, while 83% of embryos developed
into plantlets after being transferred to agar inedium with 0.44 μMN6-benzyladenine and 1.44 μM gibberellic acid. Most plantlets (88%) survived under field conditions and were morphologically identical to the parent plant. 相似文献

Summary High-frequency somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration was achieved on callus derived from leaf (petiole and lamina)
and internode explants of Centella asiatica L. Growth regulators significantly influenced the frequency of somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration. Calluses developed
on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium fortified with 4.52 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) or 5.37 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), both with 2.32 μM kinetin (Kn), were superior for somatic embryogenesis. Callus developed on NAA and Kn-supplemented medium favored induction
and maturation of embryos earlier compared to that on 2,4-D and Kn. Embryogenic callus transferred from NAA and Kn-supplemented
medium to suspension cultures of half-strength MS medium with NAA (2.69 μM) and Kn (1.16 μM) developed a mean of 204.3 somatic embryos per 100 mg of callus. Embryogenic callus transferred from 2,4-D and Kn subsequently
to suspension cultures of half-strength MS medium with 2,4-D (0.45 μM) and Kn (1.16 μM) developed a mean of 303.1 embryos per 100 mg of callus. Eighty-eight percent of the embryos underwent maturation and conversion
to plantlets upon transfer to half-strength MS semisolid medium having 0.054 μM NAA with either 0.044 μM BA or 0.046 μM Kn. Embryo-derived plantlets established in field conditions displayed morphological characters identical to those of the
parent plant. 相似文献
