顽拗性竹柏种子的贮藏特性?

文章对竹柏( Podocarpus nagi)种子的脱水耐性和贮藏特性进行了研究,结果表明：竹柏种子成熟时初始含水量约为(35±0?7)％,种子对脱水敏感,其最低安全含水量约为(16?86±0?73)％,具有顽拗性种子的典型特征;湿藏和半干藏都可以作为短期保存竹柏种子的方法,且以4℃保存优于15℃保存,但不管种子含水量如何,零下低温保存对竹柏种子都是致命的;半干藏法保存实验中,未进行脱水处理的种子(对照)在4℃贮藏6个月,种子萌发率没有发生明显下降,但贮藏期延长到9个月时,临界含水量的种子萌发力保存最高;不管贮藏介质的含水量高低,也无论贮藏在4℃还是15℃,湿藏种子在9个月的贮藏期内萌发率均没有明显的降低,但当贮藏到12个月时,15℃湿藏种子的萌发率显著高于4℃贮藏的种子,但15℃湿藏的种子在贮藏到3个月时即发现种子在贮藏期间萌发,且随着贮藏介质含水量的升高和贮藏期的延长,萌发的种子增多;竹柏的离体胚经过2h硅胶快速脱水至含水量7％后再冷冻即可获得90％以上的融后存活率,且超低温保存1年的离体胚解冻后,与只保存1周的存活率没有明显差异,表明超低温长期保存竹柏种子是可行的。本研究可以为进一步探究顽拗性种子的短期贮藏和长期保存提供理论基础和基础资料。

以香蕉(Musaspp.)试管苗为试材,对其离体茎尖小滴玻璃化法超低温保存的影响因素进行了研究。小滴玻璃化法和玻璃化法超低温保存后再生率的差异表明,香蕉更适合用小滴玻璃化法进行超低温保存。香蕉小滴玻璃化法超低温保存的方案如下:试管苗在60g/L蔗糖的MS培养基上培养1~2个月,剥离带有1~2片叶原基的茎尖,室温下装载30m in(可延长至4h),0℃下PVS2处理40~50m in。6个基因型的14个品种的再生率平均为46.9%。通过SSR分子标记检测,再生植株的遗传稳定性没有发生改变。该结果为香蕉种质资源的长期保存提供了理论依据和技术支撑。     

无菌马尾松种子超低温保存技术研究

该研究利用液氮将不同含水量的无菌马尾松种子(27.4%、24.6%、22.7%、16.8%、15.8%、10.7%、7.5%、6.1%、4.8%、3.2%)进行超低温保存。结果表明:(1)在3.2%～6.1%含水量范围内,经液氮冷冻保存后的发芽率随着含水量升高而逐渐升高,在含水量6.1%时,发芽率达到最大值(91.33%);当含水量大于6.1%时,发芽率逐渐下降,尤其是当含水量大于15.8%时,发芽率迅速下降;在3.2%～7.5%含水量范围内冻存后发芽率在80%以上。(2)冷冻、化冻方式影响超低温保存效果。种子无需低温预冷,直接投入液氮保存(快速冷冻)效果最好;室温空气化冻(缓慢化冻)较42℃水浴化冻发芽率高,且后者容易发生种皮炸裂现象。(3)种皮对马尾松种子超低温保存过程起到保护作用,使其免受机械损伤,去掉外种皮的种子冻存后发芽率显著下降,且容易出现形态不正常的幼苗。(4)超低温保存对马尾松种子萌发具有一定"刺激"作用,在最适含水量6.1%时,经超低温保存后种子的发芽率显著大于对照种子。总之,含水量、冷冻方法、化冻方法、种皮结构显著影响超低温保存效果,马尾松种子超低温保存的最优方法是将种子含水量控制在6.1%,直接投入液氮快速冷冻后室温空气缓慢化冻,冻后发芽率可在90%以上。马尾松种子超低温保存技术体系的建立,为其种质资源的长期保存提供了技术支持。

八棱海棠种子超低温保存中含水量对糖代谢的影响

含水量是影响种子超低温保存效果的关键因素，而其作用机制尚不完全清楚。为探讨含水量对种子超低温保存生活力的影响途径，该研究以八棱海棠种子为材料，通过硅胶干燥法获得不同含水量的种子，测定超低温保存后种子生活力、糖含量及相关酶指标的变化并分析相关性。结果表明：(1)超低温保存15 d后，不同含水量种子生活力不同，随着种子含水量的降低，种子生活力呈现先升高后降低的趋势，含水量为9.02%的八棱海棠种子生活力最高，为53.33%;超低温保存120 d后，种子生活力随着含水量下降一直升高，含水量为6.40%生活力最高，为27.78%。这表明八棱海棠种子含水量对超低温保存后的生活力有明显影响，但受液氮保存时间影响，随着液氮保存时间的延长，最适含水量降低。(2)相关分析显示，超低温保存后种子含水量与生活力呈极显著负相关(r=-0.82);与果糖和蔗糖含量、酸性转化酶、果糖激酶呈显著负相关，而种子萌发率与这些指标呈显著正相关。这表明种子含水量通过影响酸性转化酶活性而影响蔗糖和果糖含量，进而影响蔗糖代谢，响应低温和脱水胁迫，最终导致生活力差异。种子生活力还受到介导果糖激酶的果糖代谢影响。此外，海藻糖也是种...     

Cryopreservation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Citrus</Emphasis> anthers in the National Crop Genebank of China

Genebank conservation of pollen is valuable because it makes genetic resources immediately available for use in breeding programs. In the case of Citrus species, conserved anthers or pollen can be easily transported and used to develop new varieties with pathogen resistance and desirable quality and yield traits. The aim of this study was to develop and improve air-desiccation cryopreservation protocols for Citrus cavaleriei and Citrus maxima anthers in genebanks. In the current study, warming, rehydration, and in vitro germination conditions were optimized to achieve high levels of in vitro germination in Citrus pollen for ten cultivars after liquid nitrogen (LN) exposure. The optimal warming, rehydration, and in vitro germination medium formulations affected the germination levels after pollen cryopreservation, with species- and cultivar-dependent effects. The Citrus anthers were dehydrated to the moisture content of 5–14% before LN exposure and warmed at 25 (cryopreserved Citrus anthers with a moisture content of lower than 10%) or 37°C (a moisture content of 10% or higher), then rehydrated, and cultured on medium with 150-g L^?1 sucrose, 0.1-g L^?1 boric acid, 1.0-g L^?1 calcium nitrate, 0.1-g L^?1 potassium nitrate, 0.3-g L^?1 magnesium sulfate, and 10-g L^?1 agar. After 2 yr of storage, in vitro germination levels of Citrus pollen after cryopreservation were significantly higher (> 22% for all ten cultivars) than those of samples that were stored at 4°C (0%). In vitro germination levels of pollen from six of ten cultivars after cryopreservation remained relatively high after 2 yr of storage (38–93%). The highest viability of 93% was obtained for C. cavaleriei ‘2–3’. The methods identified in the current study could be used to cryopreserve C. cavaleriei and C. maxima anthers.     

Plant cryopreservation: Progress and prospects

Summary Cryopreservation (liquid nitrogen, −196°C) represents the only safe and cost-effective option for long-term conservation of germplasm of non-orthodox seed species, vegetatively propagated species, and of biotechnology products. Classical cryopreservation techniques, which are based on freeze-induced dehydration, are mainly employed for freezing undifferentiated cultures and apices of cold-tolerant species. New cryopreservation techniques, which are based on vitrification of internal solutes, are successfully employed with all explant types, including cells suspensions and calluses, apices, and somatic and zygotic embryos of temperate and tropical species. The development of cryopreservation protocols is significantly more advanced for vegetatively propagated species than for recalcitrant seed species. Even though its routine use is still limited, there are a growing number of examples where cryopreservation is employed on a large scale for different types of materials, including seeds with orthodox and intermediate storage behaviour, dormant buds, pollen, biotechnology products, and apices sampled from in vitro plantlets of vegetatively propagated species. Cryopreservation can also be employed for uses other than germplasm conservation, such as cryoselection, i.e., the selection through freezing of samples with special properties, or cryotherapy, i.e., the elimination of viruses from infected plants through apex cryopreservation. Because of its high potential, it is expected that cryopreservation will become more frequently employed for long-term conservation of plant genetic resources.     

五种豆科药用植物种子超低温保存技术研究

以豆科药用植物降香檀、决明、含羞草、灰毛豆和猪屎豆的成熟种子为材料,探讨含水量对其发芽率的影响,以及超低温冷冻方式对种子超低温保存的影响。结果表明,降香檀、决明、猪屎豆和灰毛豆种子发芽率均随含水量的下降而从80%左右降至20%以下,而含羞草种子含水量低于10%时,其发芽率仍在75%以上。经超低温冷冻后,五种豆科药用植物种子发芽率较对照组均有显著差异;适宜的含水量下,种子经过超低温冷冻后其发芽率与对照组差异不显著,甚至高于对照组。三种冷冻方法中,玻璃化冷冻法更适合降香檀种子的超低温保存,缓慢冷冻法更适合猪屎豆种子的超低温保存,快速冷冻法适合于决明种子、灰毛豆种子和含羞草种子的超低温保存。由此可知,液氮超低温冷冻法保存降香檀等五种豆科药用植物种子是可行的。     

Screening for High-Temperature Tolerant Cotton Cultivars by Testing In Vitro Pollen Germination, Pollen Tube Growth and Boll Retention

With radical global climate change and global warming, high temperature stress has become one of major factors exerting a major influence on crop production. In the cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)-growing areas of China, especially in the Yangtze River valley, unexpected periodic episodes of extreme heat stress usually occur in July and August, the peak time of cotton flowering and boll loading, resulting in lower boll set and lint yield. Breeding programs for screening high temperature-tolerant cotton germplasm and cultivars are urgent in order to stabilize yield in the current and future warmer weather conditions. In the present study, 14 cotton cultivars were quantified for in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube growth in response to temperatures ranging from 10 to 50 ℃ at 5 ℃ intervals. Different cotton genotypes varied in their in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube length responses to the different temperatures. Maximum pollen germination and pollen tube length ranged from 25.2% to 56.2% and from 414 to 682 μm, respectively.The average cardinal temperatures (Tmin, Topt, and Tmax) also varied among the 14 cultivars and were 11.8,27.3, and 42.7 ℃ for pollen germination and 11.8, 27.8, and 44.1 ℃ for maximum pollen tube length. Variations in boll retention and boll numbers per plant in field experiments were found for the 14 cotton cultivars and the boll retention and boll retained per plant on 20 August varied considerably in different years according to weather conditions. Boll retention on 20 August was highly correlated with maximum pollen germination (R2=0.84) and pollen tube length (R2=0.64). A screening method based on principle component analysis of the combination of pollen characteristics in an in vitro experiment and boll retention testing in the field environment was used in the present study and, as a result, the 14 cotton cultivars could be classified as tolerant, moderately tolerant, moderately susceptible and susceptible to high temperature.     

唐菖蒲花粉低温保存过程中的生理生化特征

以唐菖蒲切花栽培品种嫦娥粉花粉为实验材料,比较其花粉各项生理生化指标在-80℃和4℃贮藏过程中(360 d)的变化,以探讨2种保存条件下花粉保存效果出现显著性差异的生理生化原因.结果表明:唐菖蒲花粉在2种保存温度条件下,随保存时间的延长,各项生理生化指标表现出显著差异.与4℃保存处理相比,-80℃保存处理抑制了花粉中MDA的积累,增强了超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化物酶(POD)的活性,减轻了花粉膜质过氧化和膜系统受伤害程度,同时提高了花粉可溶性蛋白质和可溶性糖的含量,增强了花粉的抗冻能力,从而使低温保存花粉活力维持在相对较高水平,这或许是-80℃条件下花粉保存效果较好的部分生理生化原因.     

Changes of pollen viability of ornamental plants after long-term preservation in a cryopreservation pollen bank

This study determined the changes in pollen viability of 102 species/cultivars of ornamental plants (affiliated to 32 genera of 14 families) following long-term liquid nitrogen storage in a cryopreservation pollen bank. The goal was to provide information on the safety and stability of pollen cryopreservation technology. Fresh pollen at the time of storage was used as the control, and the study examined the pollen viability of ornamental plants cryopreserved for 8, 9, or 10 years. The results show that pollen of the 102 species/cultivars in the cryopreservation pollen bank retained viability ranging from 1% to 58%, After long-term storage there were changes in viability: 11.76% (12 species/cultivars) had increased viability, 16.67% (17 species/cultivars) had stable viability, and the viability of 71.57% (73 species/cultivars) showed a decreasing trend.     

Cryopreservation and long-term storage of pear germplasm

Summary Germplasm collections of vegetatively propagated crops are usually maintained as plants in fields or potted in greenhouses or screened enclosures. Safety duplication of these collections, as duplicate plants or separate collections, is costly and requires large amounts of space. Cryopreservation techniques which were recently developed for long-term storage of pear germalasm may offer an efficient alternative to conventional germplasm collection maintenance. Pear (Pyrus L.) germplasm may now be stored as seeds (species), dormant buds or pollen from field-grown trees, or shoot tips fromin vitro-grown plants (cultivars). Pear germplasm may now be cryopreserved and stored for long periods (> 100 yr) utilizing slow-freezing or vitrification ofin vitro-grown shoot-tips. Dormant bud freezing, pollen, and seed cryopreservation of other lines are being developed to complete the base collection forPyrus. This cryopreserved collection provides base (long-term) storage for the field-grown pear germplasm collection at the National Clonal Germplasm Repository, Corvallis, Oregon. Based on a presentation at the 1997 Congress on In Vitro Biology held in Washington, D.C., June 14–18, 1997.     

Effect of freezing and freeze-drying on the viability and storage of Lilium longiflorum L. and Zea mays L. pollen

The freeze-preservation of pollen is dependent on the interaction of several factors such as freezing rate, thawing rate, freeze-drying temperature and duration, storage temperature and environment and rehydration rates. Changes in any of these variables affects the others directly or indirectly.Rapid freezing of pollen at rates of approximately 200 °C/min maintains the highest degree of viable pollen in combination with rapid thawing rates of 218 °C/min. Rapid cooling and slow rewarming resulted in a substantial loss of pollen viability. This might indicate that intracellular ice crystals formed during rapid cooling perhaps grow into larger ice masses during slow rewarming or storage at temperatures above ?50 °C.The germinability of pollen freeze-dried at temperatures below ?50 °C was also prolonged over that of the controls. Germination values for unfrozen pollen stored for 30 days at 0–5 °C averaged 50% for lily and 20% for corn. Freeze-dried pollen stored for 30 days at the same temperature yielded considerably higher viability percentages for both lily and corn pollen. Drying time is an important factor, perhaps indicating that residual moisture is critical. Freeze-dried pollen can be stored at higher temperatures than frozen and control pollen. Freeze-dried material stored for five months at 0–5 °C, upon slow rehydration yielded intact grains which has average germination percentages of 25 for lily and 15 for corn. The same pollen upon rapid rehydration showed rupturing of 20–40% of the cells and practically no germination.     

Effects of Seed Cryopreservation and Priming on Germination in Several Cultivars of Apium graveolens

Seed germination of seven celery cultivars was studied after storage in liquid nitrogen for 1 or 30 d. Cryopreservation was also carried out on pelleted and primed seeds. None of the treatments applied reduced germination percentages. T(50) (time for germination to reach 50%) significantly decreased in Florida, Utah and Istar cultivars when priming, alone or in combination with cryopreservation, was used.     

温度对桃离体花药散粉及花粉萌发的影响

以目前生产栽培较多的‘湖景蜜露’、‘霞晖6号’和‘白凤’3个桃品种为试材,连续2年调查了不同温度处理下花药失水率、花药散粉时间以及花粉离体萌发特性等变化。结果表明：桃花药于相对低温条件下散粉失水率较低,随散粉温度升高失水率相应上升;花药开裂所需时间与处理温度呈相反趋势;3个品种花粉离体萌发率随散粉温度的升高而下降。离体花药在超过30℃的温度条件下散出的花粉在萌发过程中出现花粉管变短、花粉瘪小的概率增多的现象,表明高温促使花药脱水和散粉加快,但降低了花粉活力。在桃树花期以及制备花粉时外界环境温度应控制在30℃以下。
