Abstract: | The effect of auxin polar transport inhibitor on somatic embryo development and postembryonic growth in Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) was examined. In the presence of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA), an auxin polar transport inhibitor, embryo formation from embryogenic cells was suppressed, while cell division was not affected. When globular embryos at different stages were transferred onto medium containing TIBA, development of axial and bilateral polarity was suppressed in a stagespecific manner. In abnormal embryos induced by TIBA, further development of shoot and root apical meristems and vascular differentiation was also suppressed. Thus, abnormal development of embryos induced by inhibition of auxin polar transport resulted in plantlets without shoots and roots. |
