Composition of the cell walls of different asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) tissues

Portions of stems from the base of asparagus spears (Asparagus officinalis L. cv. Connovor Collossus) were dissected to give the following tissues: (1) pith, which was free of vascular bundles, (2) two surrounding layers, parenchyma and fibre I and II (PFI and PFII), containing parenchyma and vascular bundles, (3) sclerenchyma sheath, (4) epidermis and sub-epidermal layers and (5) asparagus vascular fibre (AVF). The alcohol-insoluble residues (AIRs) from these tissues were shown to be free of starch. They were analysed for moisture and protein, and the component sugars were released by two hydrolytic procedures, which helped to distinguish the sugars from non-cellulosic polysaccharides and cellulose. The AIRs from pith and epidermal tissues were relatively low in xylose, but were rich in cellulosic glucose, and sugars associated with pectic polysaccharides such as galacturonic acid, galactose and arabinose. Their major component polysaccharides (in decreasing amounts) were inferred to be pectic polysaccharides, cellulose, and hemicelluloses. AIR from sclerenchyma was rich in glucose and xylose, suggesting the presence of much cellulose and (acidic) xylans. The AIRs of PFI, PFII and AVF contained significant amounts of xylose in addition tn other sugars, and the major polysaccharides inferred to be present were pectic polysaccharides, cellulose and hemicelluloses, a significant proportion of which may be acidic xylans. Methylation analysis of the AIRs confirmed the above inferences. The bulk of the glucosyl residues were (1–4)-linked, and there were small but significant amounts of (1–4, 6)-linked glucosyl residues (the linkage characteristic of xyloglucans) in all the preparations. The presence of (1–4)-linked galactosyl, (1–5)-linked arabinosyl, terminal galactosyl, terminal arabinosyl, (1–2)- and (1–2, 4)-linked rhamnosyl residues in all the AIRs except that from sclerenchyma, confirmed the presence of significant levels of pectic polysaccharides in all the parenchyma tissues. All the preparations containing vascular tissues contained significant amounts of (1–4)-linked xylosyl residues, probably derived from acidic xylans. Even in the AIR of pith, a significant amount of (1–4)-linked xylosyl residues were detected. This may be due to the ability of these cells and the parenchyma cells associated with the vascular bundles, to undergo lignification in mature asparagus plants.

Survival of cultured cells and somatic embryos of Asparagus officinalis cryopreserved by vitrification

Cultured cells and somatic embryos derived from the mesophyll tissue of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) were cryopreserved by vitrification. The vitrification solution (PVS) contains (w/v) 22% glycerol, 15% ethylene glycol, 15% propylene glycol and 7% DMSO in Murashige-Skoog medium enriched with 0.5M sorbitol. After initial cryoprotection with sorbitol supplemented MS medium containing 12% ethylene glycol, cells or embryos were exposed stepwise to 85% PVS at 0°C. They were loaded into 0.5 ml transparent straws, and were then plunged directly into liquid nitrogen. After rapid warming, PVS was removed and diluted stepwise. The highest survivals of vitrified cells and embryos were about 65 and 50%, respectively. Surviving embryos developed into plantlets.Abbreviations DMSO dimetyl sulfoxide - PVS vitrification solution - LN liquid nitrogen - DSC differential scanning calorimeter - MS Murashige-Skoog salt medium - NAA naphthalene acetic acid - BA 6-benzyladenine

Induction of Endosperm Calluses and Regeneration of Endosperm Plantlets of Asparagus officinalis

The endosperm callus has been induced from the young endosperm of Asparagus officinalis L. on the MS supplemented with auxin. The induction frequency of callus amounts to 65.9%–83.1%. When the callus was transferred to the medium supplemented with lower concentration of NAA 0.1 ppm or containing BA 1 ppm and NAA 0.5 ppm, the differentiation of shoots, roots and a few embryoids began to occur. A few calluses and embryoids can develop into plantlets. The chromosome number in the cells from the same root tip and shoot apex of endosperm plantlet is very unstable. They can be euploids (n=10, 2n=20, 3n=30, 4n=40). or aneupl0ids (n=6, 7, 17, 25, 53).     

几种因素对白芦笋试管苗生根的影响

白芦笋的不同筛选株系之间生根能力存有差异;培养温度是影响生根率的关键因素,高温[≥(25±1)℃]不利生根,发根的适宜培养温度为(20±1)℃;低光照强度(≤25mmol·m-2·s-1)对生根不利,适宜的光合光量子通量密度(PPFD)为40μmol·m-2·s-1;PP333、嘧啶醇不能提高试管苗生根率,且浓度过高还会降低生根率和抑制植株生长。     

Steroids from the roots of Asparagus officinalis and their cytotoxic activity

One new (Sarsasapogenin O) and seven known steroids were isolated from the roots of Asparagus officinalis L. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, including various 2D-NMR techniques, hydrolysis,and by comparison of spectral data of known compounds. These compounds together with nine steroids which were previously isolated from this plant, were tested for cytotoxic activity. Among them, eight compounds displayed significant cytotoxicities against human A2780, HO-8910, Eca-109, MGC-803, CNE, LTEP-a-2, KB and mouse L1210 tumor cells.     

Effect of maturation and storage on asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) cell wall composition

Changes in the cell wall composition of stems of asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L. cv. Connovor Collossus) during maturation and during storage in modified atmospheres were investigated. Alcohol-insoluble residues from portions of stems were analysed for changes in alkali-soluble phenolics and in the constituent sugars and their glycosidic linkages. Maturation-related changes down the stem involved increased levels of (l–4)-linked xylosyl residues from xylans, cellulose and phenolics, which arise from the lignified vascular and sclerenchyma tissues, and a decrease in the levels of (l–5)-linked arabinosyl residues from pectic arabinans from the parenchy-matous tissues. Storage under aerobic conditions permitted stem elongation in the apical sections and secondary thickening in the basal sections. This was due to continued tissue maturation. Storage under anaerobic conditions inhibited such changes. In accordance with these effects of storage on stem physiology, maturation-related changes in cell wall components were enhanced by storage only under aerobic conditions. However, levels of (1–4)-linked galactosyl residues which remained relatively constant during maturation, decreased substantially (ca 50%) in all stem sections during both aerobic and anaerobic storage.

外源腐胺对石刁柏愈伤组织胚性能力的影响

石刁柏胚性愈伤组织继代过程中,添加浓度为10 mg·L^-1的外源腐胺能有效地保持愈伤组织的胚胎发生能力,并减少愈伤组织的褐化,但不能提高愈伤组织的体细胞胚的诱导率.腐胺处理过的胚性愈伤组织的内源腐胺含量明显提高.这可能是外源腐胺保持细胞胚性、降低褐化程度的原因.     

Studies on Root Regeneration from Anther derived Spear of Asparagus officinalis

There were two different stages during the root regeneration from the anther derived spear of Asparagus officinalis L. c v. Marry Washington 500, the root primordia differentiation, and the development stage of root primordia into young root. Differentiation of root primordia was enhanced by amplified nutrient supplement and lowered NAA concentration, both of which were favorable to callus formation and sustained decrease of endogenous ABA at the transection of the base of the spear. Moreover, further development of the root primordia was promoted by appropriate limitation of water supply and by effective aeration.     

Change of Superoxide Dismutase Activities During Somatic Embryogenesis in Asparagus officinalis L.

The superoxide dismutase activities in callus and somatic embryoids at different developmental stages of Asparagus officinalis L. were determined by means light of induced oxidation-reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium. It was shown that the superoxide dismutase activity was higher in callus than in somatic embryoids at different developmental stages. The activity increased with growth, differentiation and maturation of somatic embryoids during somatic embryogenesis. The relations between superoxide dismutade activity and somatic embryogenesis were discussed.
