Regeneration of Diploid Intergeneric Somatic Hybrid Plants Between Microcitrus a Electrofusion

Leaf-derived protoplasts of Rough lemon ( Citrus jambhiri Lush, 2n = 2x = 18) were electrofused with embryogenic suspension protoplasts of its relative, Microcitrus papuana 5wingle (2n = 2x = 18), with an intention of creating novel germplasm. Six plants were regenerated following protoplasts fusion. Cytological examination demonstrated that they were diploids with 18 chromosomes (2n = 2x = 18). RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) analyses with six arbitrary 10-mer primers showed that the regenerated plants had identical band pattems to those of Rough lemon for primers OPA-07, OPAN-07, OPE-05 and OPA-08, whereas for the other two primers, OPA-04 and OPS-13, bands specific to M. papuana could be detected in the regenerated plants. Cytological and RAPD analysis revealed that the regenerated plants were diploid somatic hybrids between M. papuana and Rough lemon. The putative hybrids were morphologically similar to Rough lemon. This is the first report on production of diploid somatic hybrid plants between citrus with its related genus via symmetric fusion.     

Protoplast-fusion-mediated transfer of organelles from Microcitrus into Citrus and regeneration of novel alloplasmic trees

Summary Iodoacetate-treated Citrus protoplasts from embryogenic nucellar calli of Sour orange (C. aurantium) or from Rough lemon (C. jambhiri) were fused with -irradiated protoplasts from a related genus, Microcitrus. The fused protoplasts were cultured to obtain colonies and micro-calli. Micro-calli derived from these two fusion combinations were isolated, propagated and differentiated into embryos, which subsequently regenerated trees having the morphology of Sour orange or Rough lemon. These intergeneric fusions resulted in mitochondria with novel DNA, indicating recombination between the chondriomes of Citrus and Microcitrus. Chloroplast DNA analyses of fusion-derived embryos indicated that they contained the chloroplasts of either fusion-partner or a mix of these chloroplasts. Later plastome analyses of leaves from fully differentiated plants showed that cybrids having Rough lemon morphology had either Rough lemon or Microcitrus chloroplast DNA, indicating complete sorting out of chloroplasts. Likewise, sorting out of Microcitrus chloroplasts was detected in a cybrid plant having Sour orange morphology.Contribution from the Agricultural Research Organization, The Volcani Center, Bet Dagan, 50250 Israel.

Intertribal hexaploid somatic hybrid plants regeneration from electrofusion between diploids of Citrus sinensis and its sexually incompatible relative, Clausena lansium

 Chinese wampee [Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels], a sexually incompatible relative of citrus, is commercially cultivated in South China. In this study, embryogenic protoplasts of ‘Bonanza’ navel orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] were electrically fused with leaf protoplasts isolated from ‘Chicken Heart’ Chinese wampee. After 8 months of culture, fusion products regenerated into shoots. More than 70% of the shoots unexpectedly rooted well. Chromosome counting of several shoot- and root-tips revealed that their chromosome numbers were not 2n=4x=36 as expected, but 2n=6x=54, suggesting that chromosome doubling occurred rather than chromosome elimination in this intertribal fusion combination. RAPD analysis of embryoids and the leaves of unrooted and rooted shoots verified their hybridity. This is the first report of hexaploid somatic hybrid plant regeneration from fusion between diploids in Aurantioideae. Received: 20 June 1998 / Accepted: 18 August 1998     

Effects of electric cell fusion treatment among leaf protoplasts of Populus alba and alnus firma on growth, leaf morphology, and rapd pattern of eleven acclimatized plants

Summary This study reports the characterization of 11 plants regenerated from electrically fused protoplasts between Populus alba and Alnus firma. Growth characteristics of five regenerated plants (AP-1-AP-5) in terms of shoot height and leaf color showed small differences compared with those of P. alba grown, in pots, and showed no difference in shoot height and diameter compared with those grown in nursery field. There was also no difference in the RAPD pattern between the plants regenerated from interfamilial protoplast fusion and P. alba. In contrast, the lately regenerated plants (AP-6-AP-11) grown in pots showed a marked difference in leaf morphology and RAPD pattern. There was a variation in the ratio of longitudinal to transverse length of leaves among the 11 plants from interfamilial fusions compared with that of protoclones and intraspecific fused protoplasts of P. alba.     

Somatic hybridization in Citrus: navel orange (C. sinensis Osb.) and grapefruit (C. paradisi Macf.)

Summary Protoplasts of navel orange, isolated from embryogenic nucellar cell suspension culture, were fused with protoplasts of grapefruit isolated from leaf tissue. The fusion products were cultured in the hormone-free medium containing 0.6 M sucrose. Under the culture conditions, somatic embryogenesis of navel orange protoplasts was suppressed, while cell division of grapefruit mesophyll protoplasts was not induced. Six embryoids were obtained and three lines regenerated to complete plants through embryogenesis. Two of the regenerated lines exhibited intermediate morphological characteristics of the parents in the leaf shape. Chromosome counts showed that these regenerated plants had expected 36 chromosomes (2n=2x=18 for each parent). The rDNA analysis using biotin-labeled rRNA probes confirmed the presence of genomes from both parents in these plants. This somatic hybridization system would be useful for the practical Citrus breeding.     

Intergeneric Somatic Hybrid Plants Between Citrus and Poncirus trifoliata and Evaluation of Their Root Rot Resistance

Protoplasts of Page tangelo (Citrus reticulata Blanco×C. paradisi Macf.) cell suspension culture were electrically fused with mesophyll protoplasts isolated from trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.). More than 150 plantlets regenerated after 4-5 months of culture. The regenerated plants were trifoliate with well developed root systems. Root-tip chromosome counting of more than 20 randomly selected plants revealed that they were all tetraploids (2n=4x=36). RAPD analysis of 7 randomly selected plants verified their hybridity. Inoculation of citrus Phytophthora parasitica Dastar toxin on leaves of somatic hybrids and both parental genotypes showed that Page tangelo was moderately susceptible, and trifoliate orange was highly resistant while the somatic hybrids were resistant. The potential of this somatic hybrid as rootstock is also discussed.
