Nutritional studies of Hemiparasitic Orthocarpus (Scrophulariaceae)

Excised shoot tips from Orthocarpus attenautus and O. purpurascenswere cultured in vitro to ascertain whether the stem tips ofthese hemiparasites require complex organic substances for theirdevelopment, and to determine if the capacity for haustoriaformation is retained by the resulting plantlets. Explants consistedof the apical meristem plus the four smallest leaf primordia,having a volume of less than 0.5 mm3. A variety of mineral media,sucrose concentrations, root extract, soil extract, yeast extract,and malt extract were tested for effects on growth. Both speciescompleted development in sterile culture on simple media. Orthocarpusattenuatus grew best on Knop‘s minerals with Ball’smicroelements + 0.1 g ferric citrate 1–1+ 1% (w/v) sucrose,while MurashigeSkoog‘s minerals+ 2% sucrose provided thebest growth of the media tested for O. purpurascens. Haustoriaformed on the roots of all plantlets chemically induced by cottonstring. The mean number of haustoria per plantlet was abouthalf that of control plants raised from seed. Growth of intactO. Purpurascens seedlings was also compared on mineral agar,mineral agar supplemented with yeast extract, and in soil culturessupplemented with yeast extract and a host. While yeast extracthas variable effects on the growth of shoot tip explants andintact plants raised under axenic conditions, it is highly stimulatoryto the autotrophic growth of intact plants in soil culture.     

An in vitro microplant bioassay using clonal white ash to test for tall fescue allelopathy

Axillary shoots from three selected white ash (Fraxinus americana L.) clones were harvested from in vitro shoot cultures. Roots were initiated by pulsing excised shoots for eight days in the dark in MS medium supplemented with 2% sucrose, 0.7% agar, 5 M NAA, and 1 M IBA. Pulsed shoots were transferred to a root elongation medium consisting of 25% MS macrosalts, full-strength microsalts and organics, 1% sucrose, 0.7% agar and no auxins. When roots were visible (6–10 days after transfer to root elongation medium), microplants were transferred to vessels containing the same minimal medium and tall fescue (Festuca elatior var. arundinacea (Schreb.) Wimm.) leaf extracts, leaf leachates, or soil leachates from plant boxes with and without tall fescue sod. After four weeks in vitro, primary adventitious and secondary root growth was reduced by extracts obtained from 5 and 10 g ground leaves per 100 ml of medium. Leachates obtained from 5 g soaked leaves per 100 ml of medium stimulated primary root growth. Soil leachates from bare soil also stimulated primary root growth. Variation was observed among the clones for root growth when plantlets were grown in extracts or leachates from tall fescue.     

Micropropagation of the Thai orchid <Emphasis Type="Italic">Grammatophyllum speciosum</Emphasis> blume

Protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) were induced from shoot tips of Grammatophyllum speciosum, a Thai orchid. The highest frequency of PLBs (93%) were observed on explants incubated on 1/2-Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium containing 2% (w/v) sucrose without any plant growth regulators (PGRs). Tests with different carbon sources compared to sucrose revealed that maltose promoted the highest relative growth of G. speciosum PLBs (7-fold increase), while trehalose and sucrose yielded 5-fold and 4-fold increases, respectively. In 1/2 MS liquid medium, addition of 15 mg/l of chitosan promoted a 7-fold increase in PLB growth while 25 mg/l promoted a 4-fold increase. However, the relative growth rate in solid culture was significantly lower than that in liquid culture. In addition, chitosan supplementation in solid medium promoted shoot formation but not rooting. Plantlet regeneration was induced using a combination of NAA and BA supplementation in 1/2 MS solid medium with optimum induction shoot and root formation at 2.0 mg/l NAA and 1.0 mg/l BA. Using this protocol, approximately 8 months was required to obtain a hundred plantlets from one shoot tip. The plantlets showed no changes in ploidy when tested by flow cytometry.     

Excised rootstock roots cultured in vitro

Root cultures have been established successfully for the Prunus rootstocks Adafuel and Adarcias (Prunus×amygdalopersica), A843 (P. armeniaca), Mariana 2624 (P. cerasifera×munsoniana) and Myrobalan 605AD (P. cerasifera), and for the apple rootstock Jork 9 (Malus×domestica). High percentages of root tips grew during the first 15 days and then decreased. Root growth was affected by culture conditions and the composition of the culture medium. Liquid medium was preferable as increasing agar concentrations reduced root growth. Darkness, instead of a 16-h photoperiod, was beneficial for Adafuel, but not the other genotypes. Sucrose at 3% was better than higher concentrations. Full Murashige and Skoog salts sustained better root growth than dilutions to 1/2 or 1/4. The addition of various organic supplements such as coconut water, casein hydrolysate or malt extract did not improve root growth, and sucrose was the best carbon source tested. Data presented here support the notion that excised root culture is an efficient experimental model to study the response to various factors, since controlled variations in the culture medium, such as those studied here, had a very noticeable effect on root length.

Phloroglucinol enhances growth and rate of axillary shoot proliferation in potato shoot tip cultures in vitro

Efficacy of phloroglucinol in promoting growth and development of in vitro-derived shoot tips was studied in six potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes. Different concentrations of phloroglucinol (0, 0.08, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 and 1.6 mM) were tested in combination with either 0.1 or 0.2 M sucrose in shoot tip proliferation medium based on MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium supplemented with 5.8 μM GA₃ (gibberellic acid), 1.1 μM BA (N⁶-benzyladenine) and 8.39 μM D-calcium pantothenate. Phloroglucinol fostered multiple shoot formation, promoted axillary shoot proliferation in terms of shoot tip fresh weight and shoot length, and stimulated root formation on the shoot tips. There was significant phloroglucinol × sucrose interaction for number of shoots developed per shoot tip, shoot tip fresh weight and number of roots induced per shoot tip. The beneficial effect of phloroglucinol on shoot tip survival was conspicuous only in genotypes that showed poor survival in the control proliferation medium. There were significant differences in response between the two sucrose levels with regard to shoot tip fresh weight and number of roots per shoot tip. Phloroglucinol in combination with 0.2 M sucrose induced maximum number of roots per shoot tip. Optimum shoot tip growth was fostered in medium containing 0.8 mM phloroglucinol and 0.2 M sucrose. High frequency multiple shoot formation in this medium ensures a faster rate of potato shoot tip multiplication within a limited time and space.

水曲柳和落叶松人工林根系分解与养分释放

采用埋袋法对水曲柳和落叶松粗根(5～10 mm)、中根(2～5 mm)、细根(＜2 mm)的分解速率及其养分释放进行了为期2年的研究.结果表明,水曲柳粗根、中根和细根年分解系数分别为0.3649、0.4381和0.2720,落叶松依次分别为0.1967、0.1955和0.2464.通过养分分析发现,根系分解过程释放大量C和养分.分解150 d后,两树种所有级别根系的可溶性糖释放均超过90%.水曲柳粗根和中根K的释放均在40%左右,细根K的释放为71%,落叶松所有级别的根系K的释放均在95%以上.在根系分解第2年,两树种粗根和中根N的释放在50%左右波动,P在40%左右波动,两树种细根N和P的释放均达到60%.因此,根系分解在C和养分循环中起重要作用,如果将其忽略,土壤有机质和养分元素的循环将会被严重低估.     

Alteration of biomass and artemisinin production in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Artemisia annua</Emphasis> hairy roots by media sterilization method and sugars

Transformed root cultures of Artemisia annua grown in autoclaved medium show large variations in biomass and artemisinin production regardless of the culture conditions or clonal type. However, using filter-sterilized sugars singly or in combination while holding the carbon level in the medium constant resulted in an unexpected variability in biomass production and artemisinin yield. Autoclaving results in variable hydrolysis of sucrose in the culture medium. Subsequent experiments using combinations of filter-sterilized sugars at a constant total carbon level in the medium showed a stimulation of artemisinin production by glucose. Growth in sucrose was equivalent to growth in fructose and significantly better than in glucose. These results suggest that sugars may be affecting terpenoid metabolism not only as carbon sources, but also as signal molecules.     

Empirical evidence of a convection–diffusion model for pH patterns in the rhizospheres of root tips

A recently formulated convection–diffusion model predicted that root growth plus diffusion of protons in the neighbouring soil would lead to particular pH patterns around the moving root tip. To test the predictions of this theory, pH was measured at differing radial distances from the root surface after 24 h of growth in a medium with low diffusivity (sandy soil) and after a shorter period (55 min of growth) in a medium with high diffusivity (agar). In agreement with the theory, the growth zone was found to influence the pH of the soil for distances less than 1 mm from the root surface (even after many hours) and the pH of the agar for a distance of at least 5 mm (after only 1 h). The axial pattern of pH along the surface of soil‐grown Zea mays L. root tips was found to be the same for roots growing at different rates under different temperatures (2·23  mm h^?1 at 26 °C or 1·27 mm h^?1 at 20 °C). Thus, the plant can synchronize proton flux with growth to maintain a particular surface pH pattern within the growth zone. This implies that root tips growing at different rates in response to different temperatures can carry the same microenvironment of pH through a homogeneous soil.
