Comparative Efficacy of Abscisic Acid and Methyl Jasmonate for Indirect Somatic Embryogenesis in Medicago sativa L.

The effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in relation to abscisic acid (ABA) on different phases of somatic embryogenesis were studied in Medicago sativa L. Different concentrations of both the growth inhibitors (0.0, 0.5, 5.0, 50.0 and 500.0 μM) were tested in five distinct phases of somatic embryogenesis, viz., induction, proliferation, differentiation, maturation and regeneration. Like ABA, MeJA also inhibited callus induction, callus growth, proliferation of embryogenic suspension as well as germination and conversion of somatic embryos. However, its inhibitory effects on various phases of somatic embryogenesis were less pronounced as compared to that due to ABA. In contrast to ABA, MeJA did not have any significant influence on the development of somatic embryos when applied in the differentiation phase. The study showed that ABA used routinely as an inducer of somatic embryo maturation in M. sativa could not be replaced by MeJA.     

Role of Abscisic Acid in Seed Dormancy

Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait that improves survival of the next generation by optimizing the distribution of germination over time. The agricultural and forest industries rely on seeds that exhibit high rates of germination and vigorous, synchronous growth after germination; hence dormancy is sometimes considered an undesirable trait. The forest industry encounters problems with the pronounced dormancy of some conifer seeds, a feature that can lead to non-uniform germination and poor seedling vigor. In cereal crops, an optimum balance is most sought after; some dormancy at harvest is favored because it prevents germination of the physiologically mature grain in the head prior to harvest (that is, preharvest sprouting), a phenomenon that leads to considerable damage to grain quality and is especially prominent in cool moist environments. The sesquiterpene abscisic acid (ABA) regulates key events during seed formation, such as the deposition of storage reserves, prevention of precocious germination, acquisition of desiccation tolerance, and induction of primary dormancy. Its regulatory role is achieved in part by cross-talk with other hormones and their associated signaling networks, via mechanisms that are largely unknown. Quantitative genetics and functional genomics approaches will contribute to the elucidation of genes and proteins that control seed dormancy and germination, including components of the ABA signal transduction pathway. Dynamic changes in ABA biosynthesis and catabolism elicit hormone-signaling changes that affect downstream gene expression and thereby regulate critical checkpoints at the transitions from dormancy to germination and from germination to growth. Some of the recent developments in these areas are discussed.     

Involvement of Plant Hormones and Plant Growth Regulators on in vitro Somatic Embryogenesis

In spite of the importance attained by somatic embryogenesis and of the many studies that have been conducted on this developmental process, there are still many aspects that are not fully understood. Among those features, the involvement of plant hormones and plant growth regulators on deTermining the conversion of somatic onto embryogenic tissues, and on allowing progression and maturation of somatic embryos, are far away from being completely comprehended. Part of these difficulties relies on the frequent appearance of contradictory results when studying the effect of a particular stimulus over a specific stage in somatic embryogenesis. Recent progress achieved on understanding the interaction between exogenously added plant growth regulators over the concentration of endogenous hormones, together with the involvement of sensitivity of the tissues to particular hormone groups, might help clarifying the occurrence of divergent patterns in somatic embryogenesis, and in tissue culture in general. The aspects described above, emphasizing on the effect of the concentration of plant hormones and of the addition of plant growth regulators during the different phases of somatic embryogenesis, will be reviewed in this paper. Citations will be limited to review articles as much as possible and to individual articles only in those cases in which very specific or recent information is presented.     

Ultrastructural Studies of Somatic Embryogenesis in Wheat

Electron microscopic observation of somatic embryogenesis from cultured immature wheat embryos revealed the presence of a lot of small vacuoles, a large nucleus, clear nucleolus and polynucleoli. The electron density of cytoplasm was strengthened during somatic embryogenesis. Quantity and type of organelles—plastid, ribosome and mitochondrion were increased; thickened cell wall, disappeared plasmodesmata, increased organelles andstarch accumulation in the embryogenic cells. Nucleolus vacuoles, autophagic vacuoles and secretory vesicles were present in the embryogenic cells with thickened cell walls. The multicellular proembryos, globular embryoid and pear-shaped embryoid were surrounded by an envelop, but plasmodesmata existed extensively between cells of somatic embryoid. The membranous structures appeared in the plastid which underwent transformation into chloroplast in the cells of growing point in almost mature embryoid. The relation of the above-mentioned structureal changes to somatic embryogenesis is also discussed.
