Isolation and culture of daylily mesophyll protoplasts

Mesophyll protoplasts were isolated from leaf tissues of a diploid daylily (HemerocallisxRed Magic) by enzymatic digestion with a solution containing 0.5% Pectolyase Y-23, 0.1% Cellulase R-10, 0.1% Driselase, 0.6 M sorbitol and half-strength MS inorganic salts. When cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l BA, the protoplasts underwent sustained division to produce multicellular colonies. The optimal plating density for cell division was 0.5 × 10⁵ protoplasts/ml. The highest plating efficiency was obtained in cultures grown in media solidified with 0.2% Gelrite. Under these conditions, formation of colonies occurred from 14% of cultured protoplasts. Calli were recovered from 9 colonies only after the cultures were treated with a conditioned medium. Intact plants were regenerated from protoplast-derived calli through organogenesis.Abbreviations BA 6-benzylaminopurine - FDA fluorescein diacetate - GA₃ gibberellic acid - MS medium Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid     

Protoplast culture and plant regeneration from Brassica carinata Braun

Protoplasts isolated from hypocotyls of three-day-old seedlings of Brassica carinata (Braun) cv R-2128 were cultured in a modified Nitsch and Nitsch liquid medium containing 13% sucrose, 0.4% Ficoll, 0.25 mg/l BA, 0.5 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D. The density of medium caused the protoplasts and the developing microcalli to float on the surface of the liquid medium whereas all debris and lysed cells sank to the bottom of the culture plate. After 4–6 weeks developing microcalli were approximately 0.5 mm in diameter and were transferred onto MS medium containing 3% sucrose, 0.4% agarose, 200 mg/l casein hydrolysate, 5 mg/l BA and 0.5 mg/l NAA, pH 5.7. Approximately 20% of the calli transferred to this medium produced plantlets.Abbreviations BA 6-Benzylaminopurine - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - MS Murashiqe-Skoog     

Plant regeneration from protoplasts isolated from callus ofGentiana crassicaulis

Fast growing calli induced from hypocotyl segments ofGentiana crassicaulis were used for preparation of protoplasts. High yields of viable protoplasts were produced in an enzyme solution containing 1–2% cellulase, I% pecfinase, and 0.5% Hemicellulase. Protoplasts were cultured in KM8P medium containing 1 mg/l 2,4-D, 0.5 mg/l 6BA, 500 mg/l LH, 0.5 M glucose and 0.1 M mannitol by the solid-liquid dual layer culture method. First division occurred within 4–5 days of culture at a frequency of 17.8%. Sustained divisions led to callus formation. Periodically diluting the cultures with freshly prepared liquid medium containing 1% glucose was critical for colony formation. Protocolonies about 2 mm in size were transferred onto MS medium supplemented with 3 mg/l ZT, 2 mg/l 6BA, 1 mg/l GA₃, 1 mg/l NAA and 6% sucrose to obtain embryogenic calli. Plantlets were regenerated via somatic embryogenesis at high frequency on hormone-free MS Medium.Abbreviations 6BA 6-benzylaminopurine - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4 - dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - ZT zeatin - GA₃ gibberellic acid - LH lactalbumin hydrolysate - MES 2-(N-morpholino)-ethane sulfonic acid - MS Murashige & Skoog's medium(1962)     

Protoplasts Culture and Plant Regeneration of Soybean (Glycine max L. and G. soja)

Protoplasts were isolated enzymatically from immature cotyledons of soybean. The protoplasts divided to form calli in the K8P liquid medium. The calli further grew to 2–3 mm on the solid K8 medium and were transferred onto the MSB medium (MS minerals+B5 organic components+0.5–1.0 mg/l 2,4-D+0.2–0.5 mg/l BA) to obtain compact and nodular calli. Shoot formation was initiated on M1 medium (MSB medium with 0.15 mg/1 NAA, and BA, KT and ZT, 0.5 mg/l of each, 500 mg/1 CH). Differentiation frequency was 13.6–24.2%. Plants have been regenerated from protoplasts of immature cotyledons in 2 cultivars, and normal pods were obtained from them.

Plant regeneration from cell suspension-derived protoplasts of Saintpaulia ionantha Wendl

Summary Friable calli were induced on leaf segments of Saintpaulia ionantha Wendl. on B5 medium containing 1 mg l^–1 2,4-D and 2 g l^–1 casein hydrolysate. Cell suspension cultures were readily established from these friable calli and protoplasts could be isolated from the cells with yields of 1–3×10⁷/g f. wt.. By culturing in 0.1 % gellan gum-solidified B5 medium supplemented with 1 mg l^–1 2,4-D and 0.1 M each of sucrose and mannitol at a density of 1×10⁵/ml, the protoplasts divided within 6 days and formed macro-colonies after 2 months of culture. Shoot regeneration from protoplast-derived calli was obtained by sequential treatment of the calli with plant growth regulators: initially with 1 mg l^–1 each of NAA and BA for 2 months followed by 0.01 mg l^–1 NAA and 5 mg l^–1 BA for 4 months. Regenerated plants were established after rooting of the shoots on half-strength MS medium, and successfully transferred to the greenhouse. The regenerated plants grew into flowering stage and showed the same phenotype as the parent plant.Abbreviations BA benzyladenine - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - FDA fluorescein diacetate - f. wt fresh weight - MES 2-(N-morpholino)-ethanesulfonic acid - MS Murashige and Skoog (1962) - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - PE plating efficiency     

Plant regeneration from hypocotyl-derived protoplasts of Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss

Protoplasts isolated from etiolated hypocotyls of 6-day-old seedlings of Brassica juncea cv RLM 198 were cultured in a modified V₄₇ medium containing 7% mannitol, 2% sucrose, 1.0 mg/l 2,4-D, 0.1 mg/l NAA and 0.4 mg/l BAP, at a density of 5×10⁴ protoplasts per ml of medium. Cultures were incubated in the dark at 25+1°C. After 7 d of culture, cell colonies were diluted with 8_p medium containing 5% mannitol and a similar hormone combination as described earlier. After 14 d, cell colonies were embedded in 8_p medium containing agarose and 3.5% mannitol. Immediately upon gelling, liquid 8_p medium was added to each Petri dish as an overlayer, and cultures were incubated in the light. After a total of 3 to 4 weeks in culture, microcalli were obtained. A modified MS medium with 2% sucrose, 1.0 mg/l 2,4-D and 0.1 mg/l kinetin solidified with 0.5% agarose was used for growing microcalli into callus lines. On MS medium containing 2% sucrose, 0.1 mg/l IAA, 2.0 mg/l zeatin riboside and 2.0 mg/l BAP, solidified with 0.5% agarose, about 35% of the calli regenerated multiple shoots. The time required from culture of protoplasts to multiple shoot regeneration was about 10 weeks. Regenerated shoots were rooted and plants were re-established in a growth chamber at high frequency.Abbreviations 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - IAA Indole-3-acetic acid - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - BAP 6-benzylaminopurine - IBA Indole-3-butyric acid     

Plant regeneration from mesophyll protoplasts ofDianthus superbus

Leaf mesophyll protoplasts ofDianthus superbus were cultured at a density of 5 × 10⁴ protoplasts/ml and divided at about 18% plating efficiency in MS liquid medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BAP, 2.0 mg/L NAA and 9% mannitol after 2 weeks. Protocolonies formed after 3 to 4 weeks of culture in the dark at 27°C. These colonies were transferred to continuous illumination (21.5 E m^–2 sec^–1) for 2 weeks where most of the colonies divided to form microcalli, about 2 mm in diameter. Subsequently, green microcalli were transferred to MS solidified medium with 2.0 mg/L 2,4-D that induced shoot-forming calli after 4 weeks. These calli were transferred onto N₆-2 medium containing 0.1 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.1 mg/L NAA, 2.0 mg/L kinetin and 2.0 g/L casein hydrolysate and were cultured under light. After 5 weeks the calli gave rise to multiple shoots (10 to 15 per callus). Upon transfer to MS medium containing 2.0 mg/L NAA, individual shoots were rooted in 4 weeks. The regenerants were successfully transplanted into potting soil.Abbreviations MS Murashige and Skoog - BAP 6-benzylaminopurine - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid - N₆ Chu basal salt mixture - MES 2-N-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid     

Cauliflower inflorescence protoplast culture and plant regeneration

A yield of 2–4×10⁶ protoplasts/g F.W. could be obtained when fresh cauliflower inflorescence segments were digested with 2% cellulase Onozuka R-10, 1% cellulase RS and 0.4% Macerozyme R-10 in CPW18S for 7 to 10 h. Purified protoplasts were cultured in K8p liquid and agarose medium. Although protoplasts in liquid medium divided earlier than in agarose, protoplast-derived cells in liquid culture could not avoid browning. With agarose culture, sustained division and callus formation could be achieved. After 20 days, calli were transferred onto B5 agar medium with ZT 1.5 mg l^-1, BA 0.5 mg l^-1 and IAA 0.1 mg l^-1 for shoot formation. The frequency of bud formation varied from 56.7% for calli of 1mm in size to 5.6% for 5mm calli. The shoots formed were rooted in B5 medium containing 0.5 mg l^-1 IBA, and the regenerated plants were transplanted to pots and grew normally. It took about two months from protoplasts to the regenerated plants.Abbreviations Ade adenine - BA 6-benzyl aminopurine - CH casein hydrolysate - CM coconut milk - 2,4-D 2,4,-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - GA₃ gibberellic acid - Gln glutamine - NAA -naphthylacetic acid - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - IBA indole-3-butyric acid - ZT zeatin     

Plant regeneration from protoplasts of Gentiana by embedding protoplasts in gellan gum

A protoplast-to-plant system was developed in Gentiana using a gellan gum-embedding culture. Viable protoplasts could be routinely isolated from in vitro-grown plantlets, and they were embedded in 0.2% gellan gum-solidified B5 medium containing 2 mg l^-1 NAA, 0.1 mg l^-1 TDZ, 0.1 M sucrose and 0.4 M mannitol. Weekly addition of fresh liquid medium was essential for preventing cell browning. Colony growth was promoted by lowering mannitol concentration of the culture media after one month, and visible colonies were produced after 2 months of culture. Shoot regeneration from protoplast-derived calluses was stimulated by 1 to 10 mg l^-1 TDZ in combination with 0.1 mg l^-1 NAA. Protoplast-derived plants were recovered following rooting of the shoots in plant growth regulator-free medium and they were successfully transferred to soil.Abbreviations BA benzylaminopurine - FDA fluorescein diacetate - FW fresh weight - MES 2-N-morpholinoethane sulfonic acid - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - TDZ N-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl-N-phenylurea (also called thidiazuron)

Factors influencing regeneration from protoplasts of Asparagus densiflorus cv. Sprengeri

This article describes conditions to optimize the yield of viable protoplasts from callus tissue of Asparagus densiflorus cv. Sprengeri and their subsequent regeneration into plantlets. Callus tissue was initiated by culturing spear sections (5–7 mm) on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.8% (wt/vol) Bacto agar, 3% (wt/vol) sucrose, 0.5 mg/l each of nicotinic acid, pyridoxine-HCl, and thiamine-HCl, 1 mg/l p-chlorophenoxyaceticacid (pCPA) and 1 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The maximum protoplast yield was obtained in a mixture of 1% (wt/vol) Cellulysin, 0.8% (wt/vol) Rhozyme HP 150 and 0.3% (wt/vol) Macerase, dissolved in cell protoplast wash salt solution with 7 mm CaCl₂ ^.2H₂O, 3 mm MES, 0.6 m glucose, and 0.1 m mannitol. First divisions were observed after 3–4 days of initial culture. The plating efficiency was highest (7.8%) in half-strength MS semisolid medium containing 1 g/l glutamine, 0.6 m glucose, 0.1 m mannitol, 0.5 mg/l folic acid, 0.05 mg/l biotin, 2 mg/l ascorbic acid, 1 mg/l α-naphthaleneacetic acid, 0.5 mg/l zeatin, and 0.1% (wt/vol) Gelrite. Protoplast-derived microcolonies and microcalli were cultured on the same medium on which the primary callus culture was initiated. After 10–12 weeks, calli were transferred to shoot regeneration medium containing MS salts, 1 mg/l BAP, 0.5 mg/l pCPA and 0.2% Gelrite. Shoots (3–4 cm) were then transferred to MS rooting medium with 2 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid, and 0.2% Gelrite. Plantlets were obtained within 4–5 weeks.

Callus formation and plant regeneration through direct culture of isolated pollen of Hordeum vulgare cv. ‘Sabarlis’

Summary Pollen calli and plantlets of Hordeum vulgare cv. Sabarlis were obtained through direct pollen culture without pretreatment of spikes or preculture of anthers. Isolated immature pollen grains were cultured first in a 0.3 M mannitol solution or a C1 basal medium (Chen et al. 1979) supplemented with 0.3 M mannitol but without sucrose for 5–7 days, then transferred into a C1 medium containing 6% sucrose, 3 mM glutamine and 5 mM m-inositol. After a 3 week culture period small pollen calli derived from the pollen grains were transferred into a growth medium comprising C1 basal medium supplemented with 250 mg/1 lactalbumin hydrolysate and 0.5 mg/1 kinetin. For shoot regeneration, vigorously growing calli were transferred onto agarsolidified MS medium (Murashige and Skoog 1962) containing 3% sucrose, 2 mg/1 benzyladenine and 0.5 mg/1 indole-3-acetic acid. The ratio of green plants to albino was approximately 12.2.     

Rhizogenesis in callus from Conference pear (Pyrus communis L.) protoplasts

Large numbers (ca 6×10⁶ protoplasts/g f.wt) of viable (80%) protoplasts were isolated from embryo-callus tissues of Conference pear using an enzyme mixture which contained 2.0% (w/v) Meicelase, 2.0% (w/v) Rhozyme HP-150 and 0.03% (w/v) Macerozyme R-10. A medium based on ammonium-free MS salts and supplemented with 2.0 mg/l NAA, 0.5 mg/l BAP and 9% (w/v) mannitol supported protoplast division and the proliferation of multicellular colonies. Colonies were taken to the callus stage on a medium which contained MS salts plus 0.1 mg/l 2,4-D and 0.1 mg/l BAP.
