Protoplasts have been isolated from three tuber-bearing Solanum species, S. hjertingii, S. polyadenium and S. capsicibaccatum, that are sexually incompatible with S. tuberosum, but possess potentially useful characters. For isolating protoplasts from leaves of in vitro shoot cultures of S. hjertingii and S. capsicibaccatum growth was improved by including silver thiosulfate in the medium. However, for S. polyadenium, leaves of pot-grown plants were the best source for protoplasts. Following protoplast division and culture, plants were regenerated from protoplasts of each of the species. The pattern of chromosome variation in regenerants was similar to that observed for other diploid and tetraploid Solanum species. The results indicate that it should be possible to introduce the potentially useful germplasm from these wild species into somatic hybrids with S. tuberosum by protoplast fusion.Abbreviations STS

The mesophyll protoplasts were isolated from the Solanum tuberosum (S. tbr) clones of different ploidy level (4x Bzura cv., 2x H-8105, and 2x ZEL-1136) as well as from the wild species: S. bulbocastanum (S. blb, 2x) and two accessions of S. nigrum (S. ngr, 6x). Additionally, the protoplasts were isolated from the cell suspensions of Bzura cv. and H-8105 clone. The conditions
of protoplast isolation as well as the media for their culturing and regeneration, were selected and optimized for the studied
genotypes. For mesophyll protoplasts, the shooting calli were produced by all the cultured protoclones except that of S. bulbocastanum. The shoots excised from the protoplast-derived calli developed into whole plants in all the studied potato clones but only
in one accession of S. nigrum, i.e. S. ngr var. gigantea. As for suspension-cell-derived protoplasts, only H-8105 clone produced the regenerative type of calli, though normal shoots
could not be obtained. The regenerative capacity of the protoplasts isolated from leaves and cell suspensions is compared
and discussed.

Efficient protoplast culture and plant regeneration of five U.S. rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L.) - Mercury, Lacassine, Maybelle, Cypress, and Lemont - were obtained from suspension cells maintained in modified General Medium. Embryogenic suspension cells were developed from calli grown on the original callus induction medium for 10–20 weeks without subculture. Weekly subculture of the suspensions for five to eight weeks yielded cells suitable for protoplast isolation. After 2 weeks, rate of colony formation from protoplasts varied among the cultivars and ranged from 2.5 to 6.8%. Improvement of plating efficiencies to as high as 13.7% was obtained by conducting a second cycle of protoplast culture. A total of 525 plants were regenerated from the cultivars studied.Abbreviations BAP

Protoplasts isolated from cotyledons of a number of cultivars of Brassica napus, B. campestris and B. oleracea were cultured in different media to study the characteristics of cell wall regeneration and cell division at early stages of culture. Time course analysis using Calcolfluor White staining indicated that cell wall regeneration began in some protoplasts 2–4 h following isolation in all cultivars. 30–70% of cultured cotyledon protoplasts exhibited cell wall regeneration at 24 h and about 60–90% at 72 h after the initiation of culture. Results also indicated that a low percentage (0.4–5.4%) of cultured cotyledon protoplasts entered their first cell division one day after initial culture in all twelve cultivars. The percentage of dividing cells increased linearly up to 40% from 1 to 7 day, indicating that cotyledon protoplasts of Brassica had a high capacity for cell division. Factors that influence the level of cell wall regeneration and cell division during cotyledon protoplast culture have been investigated in this study. Cotyledons from seedlings germinated in a dark/dim light regime provided a satisfactory tissue source for protoplast isolation and culture for all Brassica cultivars used. The percentages of protoplasts exhibiting cell wall regeneration and division were significantly influenced by cultivar and species examined, with protoplasts from all five cultivars of B. campestris showing much lower rates of cell wall regeneration than those of B. napus and B. oleracea over 24–120 h, and with the levels of cell division in B. napus cultivars being much higher than those in B. campestris and B. oleracea over 1–9 days. The capacity of cell wall regeneration and cell division in cotyledon protoplast culture of the Brassica species appears under strong genetic control. Cell wall regeneration in protoplast culture was not affected by the culture medium used. In contrast, the composition of the culture medium played an important role in determining the level of cell division, and the interaction between medium type and cultivars was very significant.Abbreviations BA

Cotyledons from twelve cultivars of Brassica; B. napus (Westar, Eureka, Global, Pivot and Narc 82); B. campestris: (Arlo, Sonja, Bunyip and Wonk Bok) and B. oleracea (Phenomenal Early, Sugar Loaf and Earliball) were used for protoplast isolation and culture in a comparative study of cell colony and callus formation, and plant regeneration. The formation of cell colonies and callus from protoplast cultures were significantly influenced by the light conditions of seed germination. All twelve cultivars showed callus formation from protoplast cultures derived from cotyledons of seedlings grown in dark for 3 days followed by 1 day dim light (dark/dim light-grown). Callus was obtained in all five liquid media used: modified K8P(1), modified K8P(2), modified MS, modified B and modified NN. In contrast, only six cultivars exhibited callus formation from the protoplasts isolated from cotyledons of seedlings germinated under light conditions for 7 days (light-grown) and in only three media: modified K8P(1), modified MS, modified B.Callus, derived from protoplast cultures isolated from dark/dim light-grown cotyledons and grown on K3 or MS series solid media for about 1 month, could develop shoots when further transferred onto MS series regeneration media. All five cultivars of B. napus, three of the four cultivars of B. campestris (Arlo, Sonja and Bunyip) and one of the three cultivars of B. oleracea (Sugar Loaf) exhibited shoot regeneration from protoplast cultures within 2–3 months after protoplast isolation. The frequency of shoot regeneration ranged among 1–22.5%. A high degree of reproducibility was observed in cultivars Westar, Eureka, Global, Arlo, Bunyip and Sugar Loaf. In contrast, among the six cultivars that formed callus in protoplast culture derived from light-grown cotyledons, only three cultivars from B. napus (Westar, Eureka, Global) exhibited shoot regeneration 5.5 months after protoplast isolation. Regenerated shoots from cultivars Westar, Eureka and Bunyip and Sugar Loaf, which derived from protoplasts of dark/dim light germinated seedling and were induced to root on rooting media, survived in soil and grew to produce silique and set seeds.Abbreviations 2,4-d

Summary Methods of plant regeneration from callus and protoplasts of Helianthus giganteus L. are described. Embryogenic callus was obtained from leaf explants and plants were regenerated from these calli on MS media with different combinations of benzyladenine and naphtaleneacetic acid. Leaf protoplasts isolated from in vitro grown plants formed somatic embryos when cultured in agarose solidified droplets of V-KM medium containing benzyladenine and naphtaleneacetic acid. Embryos developed into plantlets on media with reduced auxin contents. Regenerated plants were successfully planted in soil.Abbreviations BA

The regeneration of protoplasts from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cvs. Desiree and King Edward has been significantly improved. Different shoot culture media were required for the release of viable protoplasts from cvs. Maris Piper and Desiree, and the response of protoplasts to different culture conditions depended upon the cultivar genotype of the protoplast source. Using protoplast isolation media containing 6mM CaCl2 improved protoplast viability and culture in enriched media lead to the reproducible and relatively efficient recovery of colonies from protoplasts of these cultivars. Over 70% of protoplast-derived calli from King Edward and Desiree regenerated shoots. Many shoots were grown to mature plants in soil. This is the first report of the regeneration of mature Desiree plants from protoplasts.Abbreviations NAA

Embryogenic cell suspensions of Lavatera thuringiaca L. were established from leaf petiole and shoot regeneration was achieved when cells were plated on medium without growth regulators. We tested three methods for protoplast culture, isolated from a one-year old embryogenic cell suspension, to determine the best conditions for L. thuringiaca protoplast culture and shoot regeneration. The highest protoplast plating efficiency was obtained with the agaroseembedded method, reaching 30%, while the nursing culture method gave 5% when the protoplasts were plated over Whatman paper No. 2. However, the same nursing culture failed to produce protoplast-derived microcalluses when the protoplasts were plated on a nitrocellulose filter. The liquid thin layer method gave the lowest plating efficiency with only 0.5%. Shoot regeneration from protoplast-derived microcalluses was achieved in two steps; first, globular embryo development was favored in medium low in auxin (2,4-d and BA at 0.01 and 0.05 mg 1-1, respectively), second, the globular embryos further differentiate into shoots in medium without growth regulators or in medium containing GA3 (0.5 to 1.0 mg 1-1).Abbreviations 2,4-d

Protoplasts isolated from both 7-day-old light-grown and 4-day-old dark/dim light-grown cotyledons of four Brassica campestris varieties (Arlo, Sonja, Bunyip and Wonk Bok) were cultured in three liquid media: modified K8P, modified MS and modified Pelletier's B to compare the capacities for cell division and plant regeneration. Following cell wall regeneration the cultured protoplasts from dark/dim light-grown cotyledons of four varieties showed rapid division and high frequency of cell division compared with those isolated from light-grown cotyledons. The frequencies of cell division were significantly influenced by varieties and culture media but only in cultured protoplasts isolated from dark/dim light-grown cotyledons. The interaction between varieties and media was also significant. Cell colonies formed within 7–14 days in protoplast cultures from dark/dim light-grown cotyledons, and calli subsequently grown on a solid medium developed shoots when transferred onto a regeneration medium. Three of four tested varieties (Arlo, Sonja and Bunyip) showed shoot regeneration within 2–3 months after protoplast isolation, with a high degree of reproducibility in Arlo and Bunyip. Regenerated shoots, which were induced to root on half-strength MS medium with 0.1 mg.l–1 IBA, survived in soil and grew to produce siliques and set viable seeds in the greenhouse. The present report is the first to document the production of regenerated plants that set seeds in Brassica campestris from cotyledonary protoplasts.Abbreviations BAP

A protocol is described for high frequency plant regeneration from isolated leaf protoplasts of several genotypes of the wild tomato species Lycopersicon hirsutum f. hirsutum based on modified tomato protoplast culture methods. Three to four week old seedlings exposed to a low light pretreatment yielded protoplasts capable of sustained divisions on modified Lycopersicon Culture Medium. Plating efficiencies varied from 7.2%–25.9%. Colonies were transferred to modified solid greening medium after 25–35 days. Developing calli that turned bright green and produced dark green bud primordia were transferred to shoot induction medium. Shoot formation efficiencies ranged from 60%–85%. Shoots rooted easily and regenerated plants grown to complete maturity showed only transient somaclonal variation.Abbreviations BA

Summary While the in vitro clonal propagation of peat mosses (Sphagnaceae) in bioreactors has been established since the late 1980s, it has never been possible to regenerate Sphagnum species from isolated protoplasts, which is a key step towards the production of closely defined genetically modified clones.
The present study describes an efficient protocol for protoplast isolation and regeneration of Sphagnum fallax. Protoplast survival rates of over 50% and regeneration rates of up to 20% were achieved by using excised capitulum buds
as starting material and by co-cultivating Sphagnum protoplasts with protoplasts from a chlorophyll-deficient Solanum hybrid clone. Besides the effects of nutrient components and differential osmotic readjustment of the regenerant cell clusters,
the interference of unique Sphagnum phenolics, sphagnum acid and hydroxybutenolide, with protoplast isolation efficiency is demonstrated. 相似文献

A rapid procedure for protoplast isolation, culture and plant regeneration has been developed for two Solanum species (S. lycoperisicoides and S. verrucosum) and Lycopersicon pennellii. Freshly isolated protoplasts were initially cultured in liquid Solanum Culture Medium (SCM), containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D). Subsequent dilution with fresh culture medium without auxins appeared to be essential to obtain rapid regeneration medium later on. The resulting micro calli were first grown in a culture medium containing 0.5 mg/l 6-BAP and 0.05 mg/l NAA and 0.2 M mannitol and 7.3 mM sucrose to induce greening, at a lower osmolarity (300 mOsm · kg−1). Then, the green micro calli were transferred to shoot induction medium, containing 2 mg/l zeatin, 0.1 mg/l IAA and 2% sucrose (150 mOsm · kg−1). In this way plants could be regenerated from leaf mesophyll protoplasts and suspension cell-derived protoplasts of L. pennellii and S. lycopersicoides within 2 months. Shoot regeneration from leaf mesophyll protoplasts of the two lines of S. verrucosum could be obtained 3 months after protoplast isolation. 相似文献

Plant regeneration from protoplasts of two commercially cultivated Indian indica rice varieties, Pusa Basmati 1 and Java, has been accomplished by plating embryogenic cell suspension-derived protoplasts on the surface of filter membranes overlying agarose-embedded feeder cells of Lolium multltiflorum and Oryza ridleyi, combined with the use of a maltose-containing shoot regeneration medium. Embryogenic cell suspension cultures of Pusa Basmati 1 and Jaya were initiated from mature seed scutellum-derived calli in liquid R2 medium modified by the addition of 560 mg l–1 of proline and 1.0 % (w/v) maltose. In both varieties, protoplast plating efficiencies up to 0.4 % were obtained, depending on the nature of the feeder cells. L. multiflorum feeder cells induced a 6-fold higher plating efficiency than feeder cells of O. ridleyi. In combination, O. ridleyi and L. multiflorum feedercells further enhanced protoplast plating efficiency. Protoplast-derived cell colonies were not obtained from protoplasts of either indica varieties in the absence of feeder cells. MS-based medium containing kinetin (2.0 mg l–1) and -naphthaleneacetic acid (0.5 mg 1–1), together with sucrose and maltose both at 1.5 % (w/v), induced green shoot regeneration in 44 % of protoplast-derived tissues, depending on the feeder cells used for protoplast culture. In both varieties, tissues obtained using O. ridleyi feeder cells were more morphogenic than tissues obtained using L. multiflorum feeder cells, either alone or in combination with cells of O. ridleyi. In the japonica rice variety Taipei 309, this new procedure resulted in a 30-fold increase in plant regeneration from protoplasts compared to previous published procedures.Abbreviations 2,4-D

Mesophyll protoplasts from in vitro grown plants of a cytoplasmic albino mutant ofLycopersicon esculentum cv. Large Red Cherry were isolated with yields between 0.4 to 4.4 × 106 protoplasts per gram leaf tissue. Success in the culture of these protoplasts was dependent on embedding of the protoplasts in 100 µ1 agarose droplets 0.6% (w/v). A plating efficiency of 4.0% was obtained when the protoplasts were cultured in TM-2 medium with sucrose concentrations of 8.7 to 9.6% (w/v) resulting in an osmotic pressure of 432 to 469 mOsmol kg-1. After 14 days of protoplast culture, microcalli with a diameter of 3 mm were observed. After 3 weeks, macrocalli were obtained which were transferred to regeneration medium. Regeneration of shoot primordia, with a frequency of 19%, was obtained on TM-4 medium supplemented with 1% (w/v) sucrose. The first shoot primordia were visible 10 weeks after protoplast plating. For development of the shoot primordia into shoots it was necessary to increase the sucrose concentration to 6% (w/v). Eight out of eleven regenerants were diploid (2n = 2x = 24); the other three were tetraploid. Efficient regeneration of mesophyll albino protoplasts from tomato opens the way to select at the cellular level for the chloroplast transfers. 相似文献

Summary Seventeen cultivars belonging to the genus Dianthus were examined for protoplast isolation, culture and shoot regeneration under the same conditions. These included D. caryophyllus, D. chinensis, D. barbatus, D. plumarius, D. superbus and D. japonicus as well as interspecific hybrid cultivars (D. caryophyllus x D. chinensis and D. chinensis x D. barbatus). In all cultivars, viable protoplasts were isolated at high yields from leaves of axenic shoot cultures and some of these protoplasts divided and formed colonies. However, shoot regeneration frequencies were markedly different among the species. High frequency shoot regeneration was obtained from D. chinensis and interspecific hybrid cultivars, while only low frequency or no shoot regeneration was obtained from other species.Abbreviations MS

Summary Factors influencing successful establishment of embryogenic cell-suspension cultures and plant regeneration from longterm
cell suspension-derived protoplasts of the recalcitrant Indica rice cultivar IR36 were studied. The factors included cell
and protoplast culture medium, protoplast culture procedure, the source of nurse cells, and the regeneration procedure. Embryogenic
cell suspension cultures could only be established from mature seed-derived callus of IR36 in AA-based medium (Müller and
Grafe, 1978). Protoplast-derived colonies could be obtained only using the filter-membrane nurse-culture procedure when Lolium multiflorum suspension cells served as nurse, rather than wild rice (Oryza ridleyi) and Japonica rice (Oryza sativa cv. Taipei 309) cells. The utilization of a two-step regeneration procedure led to regeneration of fertile plants from protoplasts
isolated from 2-yr-old cell suspensions of IR36, one of the most important but recalcitrant rice cultivars. 相似文献

Summary The techniques of microspore and protoplast regeneration starting from dihaploid Solanum tuberosum plants has been improved to such an extent that the production of more than 2000 microspore derived A1 plant lines and of several hundred protoplast derived plantlets has become possible. Further, from the dihaploid Solanum species S. phureja the regeneration of microspores to plants, and from the species S. infundibuliforme, S. sparsipilum and S. tarijense the regeneration of protoplasts to calluses, has been achieved. The plants descending from the two single cell culture systems are compared with reference to phenotypic markers and economic qualities. Some principles characteristic for either microspore or protoplast derived plants are examined and their significance is discussed. The results are compiled into an extended analytical synthetic breeding scheme based on a stepwise reduction of the autotetraploid to the monohaploid level and a subsequent controlled combination to a new synthetic completely heterozygous tetraploid potato. 相似文献

Method for production and regeneration of Lactobacillus delbrueckii protoplasts are described. The protoplasts were obtained by treatment with a mixture of lysozyme and mutanolysin in protoplast
buffer at pH 6.5 with different osmotic stabilizers. The protoplasts were regenerated on deMan, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) with
various osmotic stabilizers. Maximum protoplast formation was obtained in protoplast buffer with sucrose as an osmotic stabilizer
using a combination of lysozyme (1 mg/ml) and mutanolysin (10 μg/ml). Maximum protoplast regeneration was obtained on MRS
medium with sucrose (0.5 M) as an osmotic stabilizer. The regeneration medium was also applicable to other species of lactobacilli
as well. This is, to our knowledge, the first report on protoplast formation and efficient regeneration in case of L. delbrueckii. 相似文献

Mesophyll protoplasts were isolated from leaves of in vitro grown patchouli (Pogostemon cablin Benth.). The protoplasts were encapsulated in alginate beads, approximately 2–3×103 protoplasts per 25 l bead. Successful colony formation was induced when the protoplast beads were inoculated into a liquid medium supplemented with 10-6 M NAA and 10-5 M BA. The frequency of colony formation was improved greatly by the inclusion of several beads per ml medium. To induce high colony formation for a single bead, it was essential to culture protoplasts in the presence of nurse beads containing actively-growing cells of the same species. Rapid regeneration of plants from protoplast-derived calluses was accomplished by a two-step culture procedure with liquid and then solid media. Gas-chromatographic analyses showed that regenerated plants produced an essential oil comprising a full-set of patchouli sesquiterpenes.Abbreviations BA

A procedure for the culture of Solanum etuberosum mesophyll protoplasts with subsequent shoot regeneration is described. Several factors affected protoplast yield, colony formation, and shoot regeneration from in vitro plants. A protoplast isolation medium with 0.6 M sucrose produced twice the yield as one with 0.3 M sucrose. uowever, a higher concentration of osmoticum was inhibitory to colony development unless it was diluted into a lower osmoticum medium in a bilayer system. A 16 hour light/8 hour dark photoperiod for stock plants allowed twice the protoplast yield compared to plants grown under continuous light but no effect was found on subsequent colony formation or shoot regeneration. The concentrations of four major salts in the protoplast plating medium were critical for a high frequency of colony formation from protoplasts. Levels of 0.25 × or 1 × were considerably better than 4 ×. Fast colony formation, but at a lower efficiency, was obtained with a monolayer plating method. A bilayer plating system allowed a higher efficiency but colonies developed more slowly. For the best treatments, the frequency of colony formation from protoplasts ranged from 2.4 to 3.6 × 10-3 with 37% to 66% of the colonies producing shoots ten weeks after protoplast isolation.Cooperative investigation of the USDA-ARS and the Wisconsin Agric.
