Somatic embryo productions by liquid shake culture of embryogenic calluses in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Vigna mungo</Emphasis> (L.) Hepper

The regeneration of plants via somatic embryogenesis liquid shake culture of embryogenic calluses was achieved in Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper (blackgram). The production of embryogenic callus was induced by seeding primary leaf explants of V. mungo onto Murashige and Skoog (MS) (Physiol Plant 15:473–497, 1962) medium supplemented (optimally) with 1.5 mg/l 2,4-dichloro-phenoxyacetic acid. The embryogenic callus was then transferred to liquid MS medium supplemented (optimally) with 0.25 mg/l 2,4-dichloro-phenoxyacetic acid. Globular, heart-shaped, and torpedo-shaped embryos developed in liquid culture. The optimal carbohydrate source for production of somatic embryos was 3% sucrose (compared to glucose, fructose, and maltose). l-Glutamine (20 mg/l) stimulated the production of all somatic embryo stages significantly. Torpedo-shaped embryos were transferred to MS (Physiol Plant 15:473–497, 1962) liquid medium containing 0.5 mg/l abscisic acid to induce the maturation of cotyledonary-stage embryos. Cotyledonary-stage embryos were transferred to 1/2-MS semi-solid basal medium for embryo conversion. Approximately 1–1.5% of the embryos developed into plants.     

An efficient regeneration system via somatic embryogenesis in mango ginger (Curcuma amada Roxb.)

A reproducible protocol for somatic embryogenesis was established for mango ginger (Curcuma amada Roxb.)—an important horticultural aromatic rhizomatous plant. Embryogenic callus induction was obtained from leaf sheath explants of in vitro raised plants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) agar medium containing 2.0 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.5 mg/L 6-benzyladenine (BA). Embryogenic callus proliferation, somatic embryo (SE) formation and subsequent plantlet conversion occurred under optimal culture conditions. The effects of MS medium strength, sucrose and BA on SE formation were also evaluated. Half strength MS liquid medium necessary for SE formation and optimal sucrose concentration was found to be 3.0 %. BA at 0.3 mg/L produced the highest number (84.71 %) of SEs from leaf sheath explants. Secondary somatic embryos originated from primary somatic embryos on the same medium supplemented with 0.4–0.6 mg/L BA. Stereo microscopic and scanning electron microscopic observation revealed that the globular and torpedo shaped somatic embryos resulted in suspension culture during development. Mature somatic embryos germinated readily and developed into normal plantlets after 3 weeks on half strength MS basal agar medium under dark condition. Well rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized at the survival rate of 70 %.     

Direct somatic embryogenesis from cotyledon and cotyledonary node explants in bishop’s weed <Emphasis Type="Italic">Trachyspermum ammi</Emphasis> (L.) sprague

A three-stage procedure for embryogenesis in Trachyspermum ammi was developed from cotyledon and cotyledonary node explants cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with 0.2 mg l⁻¹ 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Globular somatic embryos without intervening callus phase developed in 4 wk. The development of embryos to heart and torpedo stages required second-stage subculture of the explants (along with developing embryos) in liquid medium with lower concentrations of 2,4-D. Further development of embryos required a third-stage subculture in hormone-free liquid medium supplemented with 100 mg l⁻¹ casein hydrolysate. Regeneration of complete plantlets occurred after the fully developed somatic embryos were transferred to solidified half-strength MS medium supplemented with 1 mg l⁻¹ gibberellic acid.

High frequency plant regeneration from immature embryos of an elite barley cultivar (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Morex)

An efficient plant regeneration system was developed for Hordeum vulgare L. 'Morex' barley, an important United States malting cultivar. The protocol was based on a series of experiments involving the sizes of immature embryos and the culture media. We found that the embryo size is critical for the establishment of embryogenic callus. Smaller embryos (0.5-1.5 mm) showed a much higher ability to produce embryogenic callus capable of regenerating green plants with fewer albinos than did the larger embryos (1.6-3.0 mm). Either 3 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or dicamba in modified Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium was optimum for the induction of embryogenic callus. The embryogenic callus maintained high regeneration during six subcultures in the callus induction medium. Efficient shoot regeneration was obtained on modified MS medium containing 0.5-1.0 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). Regenerated shoots were rooted on half-strength MS medium containing 0.2 mg/l IBA. Plants were successfully transferred to soil and grown to maturity in the greenhouse. This efficient plant regeneration system provides a foundation for generating transgenic plants of this important barley cultivar.     

Somatic embryogenesis and synthetic seed production in Rhinacanthus nasutus (L.) Kurz.

Young healthy cotyledon and leaf explants of Rhinacanthus nasutus (L.) Kurz. were incubated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0–5.0 mg/l 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) either alone or in combination with 0.3–1.5 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). The optimum callus induction (100 %) was observed from cotyledon explants on MS medium supplemented with 4 mg/l 2, 4-D and 0.5 mg/l IBA. The friable, embryogenic callus when subcultured on half strength MS medium supplemented with IBA (3.0–5.0 mg/l) produced several somatic embryos at various stages of development (globular, heart, torpedo) after 45 days of culture. The highest frequency of callus embryogenesis was observed on ½MS medium supplemented with 4.0 mg/l IBA. Moreover, 47 % of incubated callus responded with a mean number of 16.3 somatic embryos per gram callus. For germination, somatic embryos at the torpedo stage were isolated and subcultured on ½MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l each of 6-benzyladenine and indole-3-acetic acid. After 45 days of culture, plantlets developed with mean lengths of 3.8 cm. Somatic embryos at the torpedo stage were collected and suspended in a matrix of MS medium containing sodium alginate (3 % W/V), dropped into 100 mM calcium chloride (CaCl₂·2H₂O) solution for the production of synthetic seeds. Optimum growth ability of synthetic seed was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/l gibberellic acid (GA₃). Well developed healthy plantlets derived from somatic embryos and synthetic seeds were hardened and successfully transplanted to soil.

Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from leaf-derived cell suspension of a mature tree — Thevetia peruviana L.

Cell suspension cultures, which retained embryogenic potential for almost 2 years, were established from young, expanding, juvenile leaves of a mature Thevetia peruviana L. tree. Calli were obtained by culturing young leaf discs on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) and 0.1 mg/L kinetin. Suspension cultures were initiated by transfer of calli to liquid medium containing 1 mg/L 2,4-D + 0.1 mg/L kinetin, and the cultures were maintained by subculturing to fresh medium at 2 week intervals. Embryogenic frequency of cell aggregates was more than 80% when plated on semi-solid medium containing 0.1 mg/L 2, 4-D and 2 mg/L 2-isopentenyladenine (2-iP). Cell aggregates with developing embryos were transferred to fresh medium lacking growth regulators for embryo maturation. Early embryo development was synchronous and a large number of somatic embryos were produced. These somatic embryos developed into plantlets upon subsequent transfer to modified half-strength MS medium. More than 200 green and rooted plants, at an average of 80 plants per 100 mg of embryogenic callus, were obtained with 60% survival under glass house conditions.Abbreviations 2, 4-D 2 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - 2-iP 2-isopentenyladenine - IAA Indole — 3 — acetic acid - KN Kinetin - MS Murashige and Skoog (1962) basal medium - NAA 1 -Napthalene acetic acid

Somatic embryogenesis in the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum

A procedure is described for the induction of somatic embryos in the opium poppy. Papaver somniferum L. Callus was obtained from seedling hypocotyls on an agar solidified medium [Murashige and Skoog (1962) Physiol. Plant. 15: 473–497] containing 0.25 mg/l (1.2 μ M ) kinetin and 2.0 mg/l (10.7 μ M ) naphtalene acetic acid (NAA). Suspension cultures were initiated from callus using a liquid medium in which 2.0 mg/l (9.0 μ M ) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was substituted for NAA. Meristemoids, spheres of closely packed cells, developed in suspensions and on the surface of a few callus cultures. Differentiation of meristemoids into somatic embryos was accomplished by removing growth regulators from the liquid medium. Embryoids appeared morphologically normal and similar to torpedo stage embryos, however, they possessed mature tracheary elements and laticifers in areas that should have contained only procambium. Whole plants have been obtained by placing embryos in the light on solid medium that also lacked growth regulators.     

Effects of ABA on secondary embryogenesis from somatic embryos induced from inflorescence culture ofAralia cordata Thunb

In order to investigate the effect of ABA on secondary embryogenesis from somatic embryos inAralia cordata Thunb., embryogenic callus and somatic embryos were induced from inflorescence on solid MS basal medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/L 2,4-D after eight weeks without subculture. For mass production of somatic embryos, embryogenic cell clumps were maintained in liquid MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D, and then transferred to 2, 4-D-free medium. When developing embryos at various stages were cultured separately in liquid medium with ABA (0 to 2.0 mg/L) for three weeks, and then cultured in ABA-free liquid medium for two weeks, torpedo-shaped embryos exhibited secondary embryogenesis of 65.9% in only 0.2 mg/L ABA pretreatment. Cotyledonary embryos in cultures by 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/L ABA pretreatment also exhibited secondary embryogenesis (73%, 9.4% and 6.0%, respectively). However, globular and heart-shaped somatic embryos treated with ABA did not form secondary embryos on their hypocotyl surfaces. When cotyledonary embryos were cultured in ABA-free medium or 0.2 mg/L ABA treated medium for three weeks, and then in ABA-free liquid medium for 6 weeks, the germination frequency was lower in medium with 0.2 mg/L ABA (45.9%) than in hormone-free medium (56.8%). This result seems to be related to the high frequency of secondary embryogenesis. It is suggested that secondary embryogenesis by ABA application depends upon the stage of embryo cultured and the ABA concentration.     

Direct somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from single cell suspension cultures of Elymus giganteus Vahl

Summary A yellowish, nodular callus was induced from mature embryos of Elymus giganteus Vahl on MS medium containing 2.0 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 0.5 mg/l kinetin, from which a cell suspension culture was initiated in liquid MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D, 1.0 mg/l kinetin and 0.2 mg/1 naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). By filtering through a series of sieves with decreasing mesh sizes and collecting the resultant filtrate, a suspension culture composed mainly of single embryogenic cells was established. In a medium containing 0.3 mg/l 2,4-D, 1.0 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BAP) and 500 mg/l casein hydrolysate (CH), the single cells underwent direct somatic embryogenesis resulting in the formation of proembryos. These proembryos developed into mature embryos when placed in a double-layer liquid overlay culture. Intact plants were developed from somatic embryos when they were transferred onto solidified MS medium without added growth regulators.     

Somatic embryo formation and germination from immature embryo-derived suspension-cultured cells of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels

Embryogenic callus was induced from immature embryos of Angelica sinensis cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium. Embryogenic callus growth was more rapid on MS basal medium than on B5 or White medium. Embryogenic callus was used to establish a suspension culture and somatic embryos and germinating embryos developed during the culture. A shaking speed of 80 rpm was found to be optimal for establishing suspension cultures, while 100 rpm produced more somatic embryos and germinating embryos with an initiation cell density of 0.2 ml packed cell volume/25 ml medium. Adding 0.3% agar to the liquid medium also stimulated the formation of somatic and germinating embryos. While no plant growth regulators were needed for culture initiation and plant regeneration, the addition of 0.5–1 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was needed to maintain the embryogenic suspension culture by preventing embryo germination. Forty percent of the germinating embryos survived after culturing on filter paper moistened with liquid half-strength MS medium containing 3% sucrose. The plants were successfully transferred into soil. Received: 19 March 1997 / Revision received: 21 November 1997 / Accepted: 19 January 1998     

Direct somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.)

Conditions for efficient direct somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration of leaf explants from carnation cultivars Lena (SIM group) and Bulgarian spray cultivars Nasslada, Yanita, Regina and Line 84 were established. Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with 1 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.2 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine was used for direct induction of embryoids without an additional callus phase. The first globular structures were observed after 20 days of cultivation. Their further development to the torpedo stage was correlated with the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000). Somatic embryo maturation was promoted by casein hydrolysate (1000 mg/l) in MS liquid media. The percentage conversion of embryos and polyembryos to whole plants varied between 10 and 75% among studied cultivars. Plantlets regenerated by this procedure were morphologically identical to the donor material and developed normally in a greenhouse.

Micropropagation of sweet orange, Citrus sinensis Osbeck. for the development of nucellar seedlings

Protocol for micropropagation of elite plants of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) through nucellar embryo culture has been standardized. Three to four nucellar embryos and a zygotic embryo could be excised from a single mature seed and successfully generated as healthy plants in basal MS medium. MS medium supplemented with NAA (1 mg/L) or 2, 4.D (1 mg/L) promoted callus development in both nucellar and zygotic embryos. GA3 (1 mg/L) enriched medium induced plantlets initiation but their growth was very poor. No significant differences were observed between initial growth patterns of nucellar and zygotic seedlings developing from the same ovule. Five to six shoots were obtained from collar region of both category of embryos in MS medium supplemented with BAP (1 mg/L) within 60 days of inoculation. The number of plantlets were almost doubled after their transfer in the same medium and culture for another 30 days. Higher doses of BAP resulted in initiation of callus directly from the embryos. The regenerated shoots (2-3 cm) could be rooted in MS medium supplemented with either only NAA (0.75 mg/L) or NAA (0.50 mg/L) and IBA (2.0 mg/L). A number of plantlets could be obtained from a nucellar embryo grown shoot within a limited time period.     

In vitro propagation and conservation of Indian sarsaparilla, Hemidesmus indicus L. R. Br. through somatic embryogenesis and synthetic seed production

A protocol has been developed for achieving somatic embryogenesis from callus derived from nodal cuttings and production of synthetic seeds in Hemidesmus indicus L. R. Br. a highly traded ethnomedicinal plant. Proembryogenic, friable, light yellowish callus was induced from the basal cut end of the nodal cuttings on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 3 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). The highest rate of somatic embryogenesis (92 %) was observed when the callus was subcultured on half strength MS medium supplemented with 2 μM IBA. On induction medium somatic embryos were developed up to the torpedo stage. Further elongation and germination of somatic embryos were obtained in MS medium supplemented with 4 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) in combination with 1.5 μM gibberellic acid (GA₃). Somatic embryos were collected and suspended in a matrix of MS medium containing sodium alginate (3 % W/V) dropped into 75 mM calcium chloride (CaCl₂·2H₂O) solution for the production of synthetic seeds and later transferred to MS medium for germination. The synthetic seeds were successfully germinated on medium even after 120 days of storage at 4 °C. The plantlets were eventually transferred to soil with 92 % success.

Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from cotyledon explants of a timber-yielding leguminous tree,Dalbergia sissoo Roxb

Efficient plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis was achieved from callus cultures derived from semi-mature cotyledon explants of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb., a timber-yielding leguminous tree. Somatic embryos developed over the surface of embryogenic callus and occasionally, directly from cotyledon explants without intervening callus phase. Callus cultures were initiated from cotyledon pieces of D. sissoo on Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium supplemented with 4.52, 9.04, 13.57, and 18.09 mumol/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.46 mumol/L Kinetin. Maximum percentage response for callus formation was 89% on MS medium supplemented with 9.04 mumol/L 2,4-D' and 0.46 mumol/L Kn. Somatic embryogenesis was achieved after transfer of embryogenic callus clumps to 1/2-MS medium without plant growth regulators (1/2-MSO). Average numbers of somatic embryos per callus clump was 26.5 on 1/2-MSO medium after 15 weeks of culture. Addition of 0.68 mmol/L L-glutamine to 1/2-MSO medium enhanced somatic embryogenesis frequency from 55% to 66% and the number of somatic embryos per callus clump from 26.5 to 31.1. Histological studies were carried out to observe various developmental stages of somatic embryos. About 50% of somatic embryos converted into plantlets on 1/2-MSO medium containing 2% sucrose, after 20 days of culture. Transfer of somatic embryos to 1/29-MSO medium containing 10% sucrose for 15 days prior to transfer on 1/2-MS medium with 2% sucrose enhanced the conversion of somatic embryos into plantlets from 50 to 75%. The plantlets with shoots and roots were transferred to 1/2 and 1/4-liquid MS medium, each for 10 days, and then to plastic pots containing autoclaved peat moss and compost mixture (1:1). 70% of the plantiets survived after 10 weeks of transfer to pots. 120 regenerated plantlets out of 150 were successfully acclimatised. After successful acclimatisation, plants were transferred to earthen pots.     

Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in callus culture of tef, Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter

The study was carried out to establish in vitro culture conditions for plant regeneration of tef, Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter. Mature seeds of two Ethiopian varieties, DZ-01-354 and DZ-01-196, were used to initiate callus cultures on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with different auxins. Four- and 8-week-old calli induced on a medium with 2.0 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) were subcultured onto various media to induce somatic embryogenesis. Compact, nodulated, embryogenic callus was observed after transfer onto MS-callus proliferating (CP) medium. Embryogenic tissue appeared on soft and amorphous callus and developed into somatic embryos during a subsequent subculture to MS embryo-promoting (EP) media. Various growth regulator combinations were tested in CP and EP media to obtain a high efficiency of somatic embryo formation. The highest frequency of calli forming somatic embryos (56.1–68.3%) was observed when CP media with 2.0 or 4.0 mg/l 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid were employed and then cultures were transferred to EP media with 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/l kinetin followed by 0.5 mg/l indole-3-acetic acid and 0.5 mg/l N⁶-benzyladenine. Plant development from somatic embryos was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l gibberellic acid. On average, 71.2% of calli displaying somatic embryos converted into plants. Regenerated plants were successfully transferred to soil. Neither chlorophyll-deficient plants nor morphological variants were found among regenerants. All regenerated plants were fertile.
