In vitro Propagation of Cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus)

The purpose of this study was to establish conditions for micropropagation of cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus L.). Cultures were initiated from meristem cultures. When cultures were subcultured from clusters of 3–5 shoots, approximately 70 and 50 shoots were produced per cluster within 6 weeks at 8.9 μM BAP for the female cv. Fjellgull and the male cv. Apollen, respectively. Addition of 5.5 μM GA₃ reduced the number of shoots. Auxins (IBA, NAA) promoted root development in vitro, but inhibited formation of new shoots. However, as much as 85% of shoots rooted without auxin treatment when planted in a peat:sand (80:20 v/v) mixture. Some of the male plants regenerated from shoot tip cultures flowered in the greenhouse within a year after transfer to soil.

Micropropagation of seed-derived plants ofCynara scolymus L., cv. ‘Green Globe’

Growth of Cymbidium kanran rhizome was enhanced by higher NAA:BAP ratios in modified Murashige & Skoog (MS) media. Only vegetative shoots resulted from rhizomes cultured in vitro when lower NAA:BAP ratios were used. The rhizomes were induced from the axils of leaves when shoots were explanted to medium containing higher concentrations of NAA. Root formation of C. kanran was inhibited by the addition of either auxin or cytokinin to the culture media. Differentiation of the rhizomes into plantlets occurred when the concentrations of ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate in MS medium wewe reduced. The modified MS medium containing lesser amounts of potassium nitrate and ammonium nitrate than those of the original MS media, and was optimal for the production of plantlets from rhizomes of C. kanran without addition of auxin and cytokinin.Abbreviations NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - BAP N⁶-benzylaminopurine - MS medium Murashige & S Skoog medium     

Cultivation of Miscanthus under West European conditions: Seasonal changes in dry matter production,nutrient uptake and remobilization

There is increasing interest in cultivation of Miscanthus as a source of renewable energy in Europe, but there is little information on its nutrient requirements. Our aim was to determine the nutrient requirement of an established Miscanthus crop through a detailed study of nutrient uptake and nutrient remobilization between plant parts during growth and senescence. Therefore dry matter of rhizomes and shoots as well as N, P, K and Mg concentration under three N fertilizer rates (0, 90, and 180 kg N ha-1) were measured in field trials in 1992/93 and at one rate of 100 kg N h-1 in 1994/95.Maximum aboveground biomass in an established Miscanthus crop ranged between 25-30 t dry matter ha-1 in the September of both trial years. Due to senescence and leaf fall there was a 30% loss in dry matter between September and harvest in March. N fertilization had no effect on crop yield at harvest. Concentrations of N, P, K and Mg in shoots were at a maximum at the beginning of the growing period in May and decreased thereafter while concentrations in rhizomes stayed fairly constant throughout the year and were not affected by N fertilization.Nutrient mobilization from rhizomes to shoots - defined as the maximum change in nutrient content in rhizomes from the beginning of the growth period measured in 1992/93 was 55 kg N ha-1, 8 kg P ha-1, 39 kg K ha-1 and 11 kg Mg ha-1. This is equivalent to 21 N, 36 P, 14 K and 27 Mg of the maximum nutrient content of the shoots. Nutrient remobilization from shoots to rhizomes defined as the increase in nutrient content of rhizomes between September and March measured in 1994/95 was 101 kg N ha-1, 9 kg P ha-1, 81 kg K ha-1 and 8 kg Mg ha-1 equivalent to 46 N, 50 P, 30 K and 27 Mg of nutrient content of shoots in September. Results showed that nutrient remobilization within the plant needs to be considered when calculating nutrient balances and fertilizer recommendations.     

Long-term recovery of bracken (Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn) after asulam spraying

This paper investigates the effects of a single asulam application, sprayed from the air, on the rhizome biomass, bud density, fronds and carbohydrate reserves of bracken (Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn) using a time sequence approach. Regression models were used to investigate how these characteristics varied with time after spraying, and were used, where appropriate, to calculate the time taken for full recovery after treatment. Frond density and biomass recovered in approximately eight years, bud numbers in seven, but rhizome biomass and total carbohydrate reserves required 10 to 12 years to recover. The consequences of these results are compared with predictions from a computer model and discussed in relation to the best timing of re-treatment and the management needed for long term control.     

In vitro culture of the seagrass Halophila decipiens

The seagrass Halophila decipiens Ostenfeld was grown axenically in a culture medium consisting of 20% artificial seawater, f/4 nutrients (except that glutamic acid was the nitrogen source), and 1% sucrose (w:v). The culture medium was adjusted to pH 5.0. A root–rhizome layer was created by solidifying a portion of the medium with 0.9% agar (w:v) and 1% activated charcoal (w:v). The rhizome layer also contained the following vitamins: 0.5 mg l⁻¹ nicotinic acid, 0.5 mg l⁻¹ pyridoxine, 0.5 mg l⁻¹ biotin, 0.5 mg l⁻¹ cyanocobalamin and 0.1 mg l⁻¹ of thiamine HCl. The liquid overlay (without vitamins or charcoal) was poured onto the agar-solidified root–rhizome layer. Growth of H. decipiens was not improved by the addition of the auxins indoleacetic acid (IAA), indolebutyric acid (IBA) or naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at either of the tested concentrations (10 and 50 μM). At a concentration of 10 μM, the cytokinins 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino) purine (2iP) and benzylaminopurine (BA) stimulated shoot and branch production compared to controls with no cytokinins. Among the tested nitrogen sources, growth was best on 1.7 mM glutamic acid. Cultures grown on 1.7 mM NH₄Cl showed the same growth rates as those grown on glutamic acid, but the leaves were smaller and curled, suggesting incipient ammonium toxicity. Use of nitrate or urea led to mortality of the cultures. Long term axenic culture of H. decipiens appears to require the added vitamins. Hence, H. decipiens is the first seagrass known to need exogenous vitamins. Cultures of H. decipiens died when grown suspended in liquid cultures or in a biphasic medium system without activated charcoal in the root–rhizome layer. The use of more highly charged κ-carrageenan could not replace the use of activated charcoal and agar in the root–rhizome layer.     

Potential Use of Uniola paniculata Rhizome Fragments for Dune Restoration

Abstract Uniola paniculata (sea oats) rhizomes uprooted by hurricanes and deposited as wrack could be salvaged and replanted in dune restoration. To test this unexplored technique, percent tiller emergence was observed for 4 years from U. paniculata rhizomes replanted after submersion in seawater; air exposure of 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 11 days; freshwater rinse; and reburial in pots (watered) or on the beach (with or without supplemental water). In addition, U. paniculata rhizomes uprooted by Hurricane Georges were experimentally planted, and effects of soil salinity and moisture on emergence were tested in the greenhouse. Tiller emergence declined with increasing length of air exposure and decreasing size of rhizome. Tiller survival was enhanced by rainfall, rinsing with salt or fresh water during exposure and immediately after planting or supplemental beach watering. Although emergence was not reduced by soil salinity of 1,800 μS/cm, emergence was reduced by soil salinity of 5,800 μS/cm. Across the 4 years of the study tiller emergence from treated rhizomes varied considerably. U. paniculata rhizomes lost bud viability after 3–5 days of beach exposure, unless fresh water from rainfall, wet burlap storage, or watering was applied within 3 days. Bud viability was extended through 11 days when supplied with water. Thus, reburial within 3–11 days after a storm is a viable restoration technique.     

Assimilation and translocation of nitrogen and carbon in Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep

Curcuma or Siam tulip (Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep.) is an ornamental flowering plant with two underground storage organs, rhizomes and storage roots. Characteristics of N and C assimilation and transport in curcuma were investigated. The plants were treated with ¹⁵NH₄⁺ + ¹⁵NO₃^? and ¹³CO₂ at 10, 13 or 21 weeks after planting. Plants were sampled at several stages up to 32 weeks. The C stored in old storage roots was used rapidly during the first 10 weeks; after which N stored in old rhizomes and old storage roots were used. The daily gain in C depending on photosynthesis was remarkably high between 10 and 21 weeks. However, the daily gain in N was relatively constant throughout the growth period. The ¹⁵N absorbed at 10 weeks was initially accumulated in leaves and roots, but some was transported to flowering organs at 13 weeks. At harvest, 41% of ¹⁵N was recovered in new rhizomes and 17% in new storage roots. After ¹³CO₂ exposure at 10 and 13 weeks, the distribution of ¹³C among organs was relatively constant in subsequent stages. When given ¹³CO₂ at 21 weeks, a large amount of labelled C was recovered in new storage roots and new rhizomes at harvest. Both new rhizomes and new storage roots stored N and C, however, rhizomes played a more important role in supplying N, while storage roots provided C.
