Plantlet regeneration from mature zygotic embryos and embryonic explants of masson pine （Pinus massoniana Lamb.）

Excised zygotic embryos,cotyledons and hypocotyls of juvenile seedlings of masson pine were grown on DCR medium supplemented with several concentrations of various plant phytohormones.BA(1.0mg/L) in combination with NAA(0.05mg/L) in DCR medium was found to increase the formation of adventitious buds from mature zygotic embryos,but most of them were formed at the tips of embryonic cotyledons.Adventitious buds were obtained from cotyledons and hypocotyls from juvenile seedlings when they were cultured on DCR medium containing BA 3-5 mg/L and NAA 0.1-0.2 mg/L.Elongation of buds were observed on hormone-free DCR medium with or without activated charcoal(0.5%).Root initiation was achieved with full or half strength DCR medium supplemented with IBA 1.0 mg/L and NAA 0.25-0.5 mg/L.Approximately 11-20 axillary buds formed on each explant when juvenile seedling explants were treated(3-20h) with BA 50-100 mg/L,followed by transfer to hormone-free DCR medium.The maximum number of shoots obtained per explant within six months was 33.     

Identification of callus types for long-term maintenance and regeneration from commercial cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Summary Immature embryos, inflorescences, and anthers of eight commercial cultivars of Triticum aestivum (wheat) formed embryogenic callus on a variety of media. Immature embryos (1.0–1.5 mm long) were found to be most suitable for embryogenic callus formation while anthers responded poorly; inflorescences gave intermediate values. Immature embryos of various cultivars showed significant differences in callus formation in response to 11 of the 12 media tested. No significant differences were observed when the embryos were cultred under similar conditions on MS medium with twice the concentration of inorganic salts, supplemented with 2,4-D, casein hydrolysate and glutamine. Furthermore, with inflorescences also no significant differences were observed. Explants on callus formation media formed two types of embryogenic calli: an off-white, compact, and nodular callus and a white compact callus. Upon successive subcultures (approximately 5 months), the nodular embryogenic callus became more prominent and was identified as aged callus. The aged callus upon further subculture, formed an off-white, soft, and friable embryogenic callus. Both the aged and friable calli maintained their embryogenic capacity over many subculture passages (to date up to 19 months). All embryogenic calli (1 month old) from the different callus-forming media, irrespective of expiant source, formed only green shoots on regeneration media that developed to maturity in the greenhouse. There were no significant differences in the response of calli derived from embryos and inflorescences cultured on the different initiation media. Also, the shoot-forming capacity of the cultivars was not significantly different. Anther-derived calli formed the least shoots. Aged and friable calli on regeneration media also formed green shoots but at lower frequencies. Plants from long-term culture have also been grown to maturity in soil.Florida Agricultural Experiment Station Journal Series No. R-00494     

Shoot multiplication from mature trees of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana)

Opening of apical and axillary buds of mature Douglas-fir and sugar pine trees was obtained on a newly formulated basal medium (DCR) without growth regulators. Elongation of buds was observed on 1/2 strength DCR with 0.3% activated charcoal (DCR-1). In sugar pine, multiple shoots were obtained when explants on DCR with 0.5 mg/1 BAP for 5–6 weeks were transferred to DCR-1 medium. On subculture, axillary buds again developed when shoots were cultured on DCR with 0.2 mg/1 BAP for Douglas-fir and 0.5 mg/1 BAP for sugar pine. These buds were again elongated on DCR-1 medium. By subculturing 7–10 shoots of Douglas-fir and 2–3 shoots of sugar pine, over 100 shoots can be obtained in a year.Abbreviations BAP N⁶-benzylaminopurine - KN kinetin - NAA -naphthalene acetic acid - IAA Indole-3-acetic acid - MS Murashige-Skoog medium - WPM woody-plant medium     

Micropropagation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Hagenia abyssinica</Emphasis>: a multipurpose tree

An in vitro propagation protocol has been developed for Hagenia abyssinica using original material from both juvenile and mature trees. Juvenile explants were obtained from seedlings, as well as shoots and meristems from 5 to 7-month-old greenhouse grown plants. Shoots collected from stem bases of five genotypes were used to establish cultures from mature trees. Explants of seedling origin were used to optimize the multiplication medium and growth regulators concentration. The best result was obtained from shoots subcultured on either MS or WPM medium supplemented with 4.4 M BAP and 0.49 M IBA. The initiated shoots from all the different explants were multiplied on these media. Rooting of shoots was achieved using MS medium containing macronutrients at one-third strength supplemented with 4.9 M IBA. The shoots were kept in the dark for 4 days and transferred to medium of the same composition but containing 0.3% activated charcoal without growth regulators. Up to 100% rooting was achieved depending on genotype. Shoots multiplied on MS medium rooted better than those multiplied on WPM. Plantlets were transferred to pots containing a mixture of soil and perlite in a 2:1 ratio, respectively, and were maintained in the greenhouse. Increased irradiance reduced stem and leaf lengths and increased branch number of micropropagated plants.     

In vitro zygotic embryo germination and propagation of an endangered Boswellia serrata Roxb., a source of boswellic acid

This study aims to establish an efficient protocol for development of seedlings of an endangered medicinally important forest tree Boswellia serrata Roxb., for mass plantation and consistent supply of salai guggul. The green mature fruits served as source of seeds. The excised green zygotic embryos were cultured on Gamborg (B5), McCown and Loyd (WPM) and Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) media fortified with different concentration of sucrose and on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 3 % sucrose, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (0–300 mg l^−l), Gibberellic acid (GA₃), Indoleacetic acid (IAA), Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), Indole-3-Butyric acid (IBA) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4 D) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) or kinetin (Kin) individually. The highest frequency of embryo germination (96 %) and conversion into seedling was obtained on MS medium containing 3 % sucrose together with 200 mg l^−l PVP; other media were either inferior or induced abnormalities in the seedlings including callus formation from the zygotic embryos. Fully developed seedlings could be successfully established in soil with about 94 % survival. The embryos from mature dry seeds did not respond for germination in any of the experiments. In conclusion, selection of zygotic embryo from green mature seeds and their in vitro germination is important for propagation of B. serrata.     

2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid promotes somatic embryogenesis in the rose cultivar ‘Livin’ Easy’ (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Rosa</Emphasis> sp.)

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) offers vast potential for the clonal propagation of high-value roses. However, some recalcitrant cultivars unresponsive to commonly employed SE-inducing agents and low induction rates currently hinder the commercialization of SE technology in rose. Rose SE technology requires improvement before it can be implemented as a production system on a commercial scale. In the present work, we assessed 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), a synthetic auxin not previously tested in rose, for its effectiveness to induce SE in the rose cultivar ‘Livin’ Easy’ (Rosa sp.). We ran a parallel comparison to the commonly used 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). We tested each auxin with two different basal media: Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium and woody plant medium (WPM). MS medium resulted in somatic embryo production, whereas WPM did not. 2,4,5-T induced SE over a greater concentration range than 2,4-D's and resulted in significantly greater embryo yields. 2,4,5-T at a concentration of 10 or 25 μM was better for embrygenic tissue initiation than 2,4,5-T at 5 μM. Further embryo development occurred when the tissue was transferred to plant growth regulator (PGR) free medium or media with 40% the original auxin concentration. However, the PGR-free medium resulted in a high percentage of abnormal embryos (32.31%) compared to the media containing auxins. Upon transfer to germination medium, somatic embryos successfully converted into plantlets at rates ranging from 33.3 to 95.2%, depending on treatment. Survival rates 3 months ex vitro averaged 14.0 and 55.6% for 2,4-D- and 2,4,5-T-derived plantlets, respectively. Recurrent SE was observed in 60.2% of the plantlets growing on germination medium. This study is the first report of SE in the commercially valuable rose cultivar ‘Livin’ Easy’ (Rosa sp.) and a suitable methodology was developed for SE of this rose cultivar.     

In vitro plantlet regeneration from mature zygotic embryos of Pinus wallichiana A.B. Jacks

 Plantlet regeneration was achieved in blue pine (Pinus wallichiana A.B. Jacks) by organogenesis of mature zygotic embryos. The effect of various basal media and five cytokinins on adventitious bud induction, development and elongation was investigated. Half-strength Douglas fir cotyledon revised medium (DCR) supplemented with 2.5 μm N⁶-benzyladinine (BA) and 0.025 μM thidiazuron was found to be most effective in inducing adventitious buds. The effect of a BA pulse treatment was also tested, and the bud-forming capacity of each treatment was quantified. The elongation of adventitious buds was achieved on hormone-free half-strength DCR medium containing 2% sucrose and 0.05% activated charcoal. Rooting was induced in the elongated shoots with a 6-h treatment of indoleacetic acid and indolebutyric acid solutions (1 mM each). Rooted shoots were transplanted in the greenhouse for hardening and their survival percentage was 64.4 after 5 weeks and 45.7 after 6 months.

Factors influencing production of inflorescence-derived somatic seedlings of sweetgum

Somatic embryos derived from staminate inflorescence tissues of three mature sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) trees were tested for germination and conversion frequencies and early growth variables following pregermination cold treatments. Individual mature embryos were selected from repetitively embryogenic cultures maintained on Woody Plant Medium (WPM) with 1 mg l^–1 naphthaleneacetic acid and cultured on basal WPM at 10 8C for 0, 4 or 8 weeks prior to being transferred to WPM germination medium in the light. After 4 weeks, germinated embryos were planted in potting mix in an acclimatization chamber, grown for an additional 8 weeks and evaluated for conversion and growth. Conversion frequency, which ranged up to 80%, was affected by ortet and clonal line, while the number of first-order lateral roots was affected by ortet, clonal line and cold treatment, with 8 weeks of cold promoting the highest number.     

Induction of somatic embryogenesis in Pinus roxburghii Sarg.

Embryogenic calli were initiated from embryonic explants of Pinus roxburghii using female gametophytes containing immature pre-cotyledonary embryos. Zygotic embryos were collected at different developmental stages and cultured on various media. Initiation of embryogenic calli was achieved in pre-cotyledonary zygotic embryos of a 0.1-mm to 1.2-mm embryonal head on Douglus fir cotyledon revised medium (DCR) medium supplemented with 2,4-D or NAA and BA. Embryogenic callus development was initiated from the suspensor region of immature embryos. The method of immature embryo culture was significant as rapid embryogenic callus development occurred in megagametophytes where the suspensor was stretched onto the medium from the cut micropylar end. Sixty embryogenic lines were established from 2500 explants cultured during one season. A pro-embryo with six to eight meristematic cells and suspensor of six to ten long, vacuolated cells dominated the early phase of the callus development. Cleavage polyembryony occurred in proliferating callus, constituting a method of multiplication of these somatic embryos. Somatic embryos developed to stage-I and stage-II embryos on DCR medium supplemented with 5 μM 2,4-D or 10 μM NAA.
