Induction of somatic embryogenesis from different explants of shoot cultures derived from young <Emphasis Type="Italic">Quercus alba</Emphasis> trees

The induction of somatic embryogenesis from shoot apices and leaf explants of shoot cultures derived from 6- to 7-year-old white oak (Quercus alba L.) trees is reported in this study. Embryogenic response was obtained in two out of the three genotypes evaluated with embryo induction frequencies up to 50.7% for WOQ-1 and 3.4% for WOQ-5 genotypes. The embryogenic explants formed translucent nodular structures and cotyledonary-stage somatic embryos, which developed from callus tissue, indicating an indirect embryogenesis process. An efficient procedure was developed for WOQ-1 material on the basis of the most appropriate leaf developmental stage. Growing leaves excised from two nodes below the shoot apex showed the highest embryogenic induction index. These leaves contain cells in an undifferentiated state, as shown by the presence of precursor cells of stomata, absence of intercellular spaces and low starch content in the mesophyll cells. Nodular structures and/or somatic embryos began to arise 7–8 weeks after culture initiation, although most emerged after 9–12 weeks in culture. The sequence of application of media for somatic embryo induction was optimized with a two-step procedure consisting of culturing the explants in medium supplemented with 21.48 μM NAA and 2.22 μM BA for 8 weeks and transfer of explants into plant growth regulator-free medium for another 12 weeks. Clonal embryogenic lines were established and maintained by secondary embryogenesis. Embryo germination (30%) and plantlet conversion (16.6%) were achieved after cold storage for 2 months.     

Significance of different carbon sources and sterilization methods on callus induction and plant regeneration of Miscanthus x ogiformis Honda `Giganteus'

Different carbon sources, sterilized by autoclaving or filter-sterilization, were tested during induction, maintenance, and plant regeneration of embryogenic Miscanthus x ogiformis Honda `Giganteus' callus, derived from various explant types. Explants from small immature inflorescences, between 2.5 and 8 mm, produced more embryogenic callus than explants from shorter or longer inflorescences, shoot apices or leaf explants. On medium containing mannitol or sorbitol, only small amounts of callus were induced and no embryogenic callus was formed. Callus induction and embryogenic callus formation on shoot apices and immature inflorescences did not differ significantly between media containing sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose or a mixture of glucose and fructose. However, callus induction and embryogenic callus formation from leaf explants were best on glucose. A higher percentage of leaf explants formed callus on autoclaved sucrose, as opposed to the other carbon sources where filter-sterilization in general resulted in a higher callus percentage. The growth rate of embryogenic callus was influenced both by carbon source and sterilization method when less than 1 g of callus was inoculated. None of the tested carbon sources could considerably improve plant regeneration from M. `Giganteus' callus, but a higher number of plants tended to be regenerated per callus piece from filter-sterilized carbon sources.

Somatic embryogenesis in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum): Strategies to reduce genotype limitation and to maintain long-term totipotency

Three genotypes of Pearl millet were screened in vitro for induction of embryogenic callus, somatic embryogenesis and regeneration. Shoot apices excised from in vitro germinated seedlings or immature embryos isolated from green house established plants were used as primary explants. The frequency of embryogenic callus initiation was significantly higher in shoot apices in comparison with immature zygotic embryos. Moreover, differences between genotypes were minimal when using shoot apices. Friable embryogenic calli (type II) developed on the initial nodular calli after 1 to 3 months of culture. The frequency of type II callus is related to the composition of the maintenance medium and they were more often found in ageing cultures. The transfer of embryogenic calli onto auxin-free medium was sufficient for inducing somatic embryo development in short-term culture (3 months) while a progressive loss in regeneration potential was observed with increasing time of subcultures. Maturation of embryogenic calli on medium supplemented with activated charcoal, followed by germination of somatic embryos on medium supplemented with gibberellic acid, restored regeneration in long-term cultures.

Embryogenic callus formation,growth and regeneration in callus and suspension cultures of Miscanthus x ogiformis Honda Giganteus' as affected by proline

The effects of proline additions to culture systems of Miscanthus x ogiformis Honda Giganteus' were investigated. Proline was added in concentrations of 0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 or 300 mM to the callus induction and suspension culture media containing either Murashige and Skoog or N6 basal salts and 22.6 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Shoot apices and leaves from in vitro-propagated shoots, and immature inflorescences from greenhouse-grown plants were used as explants for callus induction and formation. Suspension cultures initiated from embryogenic callus of immature inflorescences were used to test the effect of proline in suspension cultures. The proline additions affected the formation of embryogenic callus and the growth of suspension cultures. Improvements depended on the proline concentration and the basal salts of the medium. Addition of 12.5 to 50 mM proline to callus induction medium with Murashige and Skoog salts increased embryogenic callus formation on shoot apices and leaf explants while proline had no effect on embryogenic callus formation in medium with N6 salts. Increased growth with increasing proline concentration was obtained in suspension aggregates grown in medium with N6 salts, whereas proline only increased growth of suspension aggregates grown in medium with Murashige and Skoog salts at concentrations of 12.5 or 25 mM. A stimulating effect of proline on plant regeneration was observed in short-term cultures of callus as well as in long-term cultures of suspension aggregates. An optimum proline concentration for plant regeneration was found at 12.5 mM. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Efficient shoot and root formation from cotton shoot apices

Successful shoot and root induction were obtained from shoot apices of two cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes, Nazilli 84S and Çukurova 1518, which are widely planted in Turkey. Plant tissue culture systems were established on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various plant growth regulators using seven-day-old shoot apices as explants. The shoot apex size was of 2–3 mm; it contained the meristem and unexpanded leaves. Shoot apices were placed on MS plus vitamins and combinations of various plant hormones. The best regeneration responses were obtained for cv. Nazilli 84S (98%) on MS + 0.1 mg/l kinetin (KIN) + 1 g/l polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and for Çukurova 1518 (94%) on MS + 0.1 mg/l KIN + 2 mg/l NAA + 1 g/l PVP. Including germination, all regeneration and rooting processes lasted only 5 weeks. The shoot apices of both genotypes developed successfully without intervening callus formation, and no significant differences between cultivars were found. All regenerated plants of both genotypes were phenotypically normal and set seeds. This shoot meristem-based rapid regeneration method can also be used in the cases of biolistic and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.     

Vernalization in Lolium temulentum L.: Responses of In Vitro Cultures of Mature and Immature Embryos, Shoot Apices and Callus

Response of vernalization to low temperature (2C) was studiedin a winter-annual form of Lolium temulentum L., using imbibedseeds, excised mature and immature embryos, shoot apical meristemsand callus tissue. Excised embryos, as early as 5 days afteranthesis, and excised shoot apices could be vernalized as effectivelyas imbibed seeds. Cold treatment of developing embryos withinthe ear, however, appeared to have no vernalizing effect. Plantsderived from callus by somatic embryogenesis showed varyingdegrees of vernalization response. The vernalization response in L. temulentum, as in winter annualcereals, appears to be located in the shoot apical meristemand the vernalized condition can be transmitted to new axillarymeristems formed from it.

Development of an efficient and reproducible regeneration system in wheat (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum aestivum</Emphasis> L.)

The availability of reproducible regeneration system through tissue culture is a major bottleneck in wheat improvement program. The present study has considered to develop an efficient callus induction and regeneration system using mature and immature embryos as explants in recently released agronomically superior spring wheat varieties. An efficient sterilization process was standardized using 0.1% HgCl₂ and 70% ethanol for both seeds and embryos. The maximum possible combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs) were evaluated for their effect on different wheat regeneration processes through tissue culture starting from callus to root induction. Picloram is found as an effective auxin with 87.63–98.67% callus induction efficiency in both explants. Supplementation of CuSO₄ along with 2,4-D, zeatin in regeneration medium significantly enhanced the multiple shoot induction. The shoot development was achieved using full strength Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium and root induction using half MS medium without PGRs. The optimized medium and method has resulted up to 100% regeneration irrespective of the genotype used with high reproducibility. Thus, the standardized regeneration system can be used in the regeneration of healthy plants from embryos rescued from interspecies crosses, transgenic production, induced mutation breeding and recently developed genome editing techniques for the procreation of wheat plants having novel traits.     

Somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis in Dendrocalamus hamiltonii

In this study, mature zygotic embryos, plant growth regulators, and various media were tested with the aim of developing an efficient regeneration system for plantlets of the bamboo species Dendrocalamus hamiltonii. Callus formation was induced in explants cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0–3.0 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Optimal shoot differentiation and subsequent shoot growth were also obtained in MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/l benzyladenine, 1 mg/l kinetin, and 1 mg/l naphthaleneacetic acid. Root induction was enhanced by the addition of 5 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid to the culture medium. Histological analysis revealed that both somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis were induced during callus initiation, shoot differentiation, and the development of plantlets from the mature zygotic embryos. Our data provide a useful basis for developing culture protocols for the regeneration of bamboo plants.     

Somatic embryogenesis from pea embryos and shoot apices

Conditions were defined for plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis in pea, using explants from immature zygotic embryos or from shoot apices. For the induction of somatic embryos, an auxin (picloram or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) was required. Embryogenic callus originated from embryonic axis tissue of immature embryos and from the axillary-bud region and the plumula of shoot apices. A clear effect of embryo size on somatic embryogenesis was shown. There were differences in frequency of somatic embryogenesis among the five genotypes used in the study. Additions of BA to auxin-containing medium reduced embryo production. Histological examinations confirmed the embryogenic nature of the immature embryo cultures and revealed that somatic embryos originated from the meristematic areas near the callus surface.Abbreviations BA benzyladenine - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - picloram 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid     

Variations in BARE-1 insertion patterns in barley callus cultures

The stability of aging barley calli was investigated with the barley retroelement 1 (BARE-1) retrotransposon specific inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP) technique. Mature embryos of barley (Hordeum vulgare cv. Zafer-160) were cultured on callus induction MS medium supplemented with 3 mg/L 2,4-D and maintained on the same medium for 60 days. Ten IRAP primers were used in 25 different combinations. The similarity index between 30-day-old and 45-day-old calli was 84%; however, the similarity index between mature embryos and 45-day-old calli was 75%. These culture conditions caused BARE-1 retrotransposon alterations to appear as different band profiles. This is the first report of the use of the IRAP technique in barley in an investigation of callus development.
