枣树离体叶片不定芽再生体系建立的研究

建立了木枣无菌试管苗快繁体系,以无菌苗叶片为外植体,对影响离体叶片不定芽直接再生的因素进行了研究.试验结果表明,TDZ比BA能更有效地诱导叶片不定芽的再生;褐化是抑制不定芽再生频率提高的关键因子,培养基中添加PVP、V c及改变生长素的种类和浓度均不能促进不定芽再生;添加A gNO3能够减轻褐化并可以大幅度提高再生频率,同时培养初期经过3周避光培养更有利于提高再生效率.因此,以附加2.0 m g/L TDZ和0.2 m g/L IBA的M S培养基,并添加5.0 m g/L A gNO3,可以高效诱导木枣离体叶片不定芽再生,再生频率最高达98.3%.不定芽在附加0.2 m g/L IBA和0.5 m g/L GA3的M S培养基上进行继代伸长培养,当不定芽长至3 cm时,转接至附加0.4 m g/L IBA的1/2 M S培养基上可以良好地诱导生根.     

Direct shoot organogenesis and plant regeneration from leaves of grape (Vitis spp.)

Adventitious shoots developed from in vitro-grown leaves of Vitis vinifera cultivars Cabernet Sauvignon, French Colombard, Grenache, Thompson Seedless (syn. Sultana) and White Riesling, V. rupestris cv. St. George (syn. du Lot) and V. vinifera × rupestris cv. Ganzin 1. Leaf explants less than 15 mm long were excised from nodal cultures and cultured on Murashige and Skoog or Nitsch and Nitsch-based regeneration media with 0, 1, 2 or 4 mgl^-1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Adventitious shoots developed within 4 weeks at the petiolar stub and occasionally from wounded lamina tissues. Shoot organogenesis occurred only on media containing BAP and at a higher frequency with 2 mgl^-1 than with 1 or 4 mgl^-1. On media containing 2 mgl^-1 BAP, 47, 67, 60, and 42%, respectively, of leaf explants of Cabernet Sauvignon, French Colombard, Thompson Seedless, and White Riesling produced adventitious shoots compared to 14, 14, and 29%, respectively, for Grenache, St. George, and Ganzin 1. Solid culture medium was superior to liquid medium and transfer frequency on solid medium did not affect the regeneration frequency. Further shoot growth was promoted by the transfer of regenerating tissues to fresh regeneration medium. More than 80% of explants initially producing adventitious buds exhibited further shoot growth, developing an average of more than 6 shoots each. Shoots rooted easily and the resulting plants appeared morphologically identical to parent vines.     

Patterns of simple sequence repeats in cultivated blueberries (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus spp.) and their use in revealing genetic diversity and population structure

Blueberry (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus) is an important small fruit crop native to North America. Relationships among the primary species known as ‘blueberry’ has been a source of speculation due to the out-breeding nature of the crop, the use of intra-specific hybridization and open-pollinated selection in breeding programs, and the lack of genomic resources to adequately address the issue. The objectives of this study were to characterize simple sequence repeats (SSRs) from an emerging genomic draft sequence, develop useful molecular markers and provide an in-depth analysis of genetic diversity and population structure in blueberry using a broad range of cultivated blueberry accessions representing multiple species, ploidy levels and sources of origin. Genomic scaffolding was assembled from the whole-genome sequencing of a diploid V. corymbosum accession ‘W8520.’ From the assembled 358 Mb sequence, a total number of 43,594 SSRs were identified (122 per Mb). Among genomic regions, SSRs were longest and occurred most frequently in predicted 5′ untranslated regions (5′ UTR), while SSRs were shortest and least common in the predicted coding sequences. AG/CT and AAG/CTT were the most frequent motifs while CG/CG and CCG/CGG motifs were the rarest di- and trinucleotide motifs, respectively. For analysis of genetic diversity and population structure, 42 genomic SSR and EST–SSR markers with an average of 14.2 alleles and 56.0 allele phenotypes per locus were used to genotype a diverse blueberry population of 150 accessions. Cluster analysis grouped the 150 accessions in a manner consistent with known information regarding species, ploidy levels and pedigree. The analysis of population structure among blueberry accessions revealed inter- and intra-specific levels of stratification. Rabbiteye blueberry (V. virgatum) represents a genetically distinct subgroup within Cyanococcus. Three additional subpopulations were detected among highbush varieties that are largely attributable to distinctions between northern and southern highbush and founder effects of a single cultivar (‘Weymouth’). The identification of substructure that correlates with known pedigree information, and the availability of new genomic molecular markers will facilitate future evolutionary and genetic studies in blueberry.     

Studies on shoot regeneration of lupins (Lupinus spp.)

Tests have been made to regenerate plants from different lupin species using leaf, leaf petiole and hypocotyl tissue of L. polyphyllus, L. hartwegii, L. angustifolius and L. luteus. Callus induction rates have been high with all plant parts from all tested lupin species. Regeneration success has been rather limited. One plant could be regenerated from hypocotyl material of L. polyphyllus. Only shoots appeared when using leaf explants from L. luteus or L. hartwegii as well as from leaf petiole tissue of L. hartwegii. With L. angustifolius one regeneration of unknown character occurred.     

Shoot regeneration from tissue-cultured leaves of the American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon)

A method for shoot regeneration from leaf explants in two cultivars of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) is described. Modified Anderson's medium supplemented with combinations of thidiazuron (TDZ) with or without 1 M NAA (-naphthaleneacetic acid) was used to optimize shoot regeneration. The effect of light or dark incubation was also determined. Maximum regeneration was obtained in the light in the presence of 10 M TDZ and 1 M NAA. While this medium was suitable for leaf explants obtained from shoot cultures, regeneration did not occur from leaves collected from greenhouse-grown plants. Elongation of the regenerated shoot tips did not occur until explants were transferred to growth regulator-free medium at which time only a minority of shoots elongated. Elongated shoots could be dissected away from leaf tissue, rooted easily, and acclimitized to ambient conditions.Abbreviations NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - TDZ 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl) urea     

In vitro adventitious shoot regeneration from leaves of Prunus spp.

A high level of adventitious shoot regeneration was obtained from proliferating shoots in vitro for a range of Prunus spp. There was a significant variability in clone response to a range of adventitious shoot regeneration treatments. Treatment of apricot clone H.152 with Quoirin macroelements (C.R. Rech., Stu. Cult. Fruit. Maraîchères Gemblaux (1977) 93–117), and both apricot clone H.146 and hybrid plum clone P.1869 with half-strength Murashige and Skoog medium, consistently induced regeneration. Thidiazuron (TDZ) alone, or in combination with naptthaleneacetic acid (NAA), was most effective in stimulating adventitious shoot production, the optimum concentration being clone-dependent. Addition of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) to regeneration media enhanced regeneration by 10–40% and reduced the variability between experiments. Regeneration with AgNO₃ was obtained also for three other plum clones belonging to the P. marianna, P. domestica and P. insititia species.     

Adventitious shoot regeneration from in vitro leaves of several pear cultivars (Pyrus communis L.)

An efficient adventitious shoot regeneration system was developed for pear (Pyrus communis L.), using leaves from in vitro proliferating shoots. Under optimal conditions, bud regeneration frequencies of Comice, Passe-Crassane, Williams and Conference ranged from 60% to 97%, with the mean number of shoots per regenerating leaf ranging from 3.2 to 6.6. Despite the great variability in responses of the different cultivars, in general an initial dark exposure of at least 20 days was required. Ammonium and total nitrogen proved to play an essential role: intermediate NH₄ ⁺ concentrations were suitable for regeneration. The balance between NH₄ ⁺ and NO₃ ^- also influenced regeneration; optimal regeneration occured on media with a 1:3 NH₄ ⁺/NO₃ ^- ratio. TDZ at 1 M was less efficient than higher concentrations, whatever the NAA level. Finally, length and growth regulator composition of the two phases (induction and expression) influenced the regeneration rate of Conference.Abbreviations BA 6-benzyladenine - EDFS ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid ferric-sodium salt - IBA 4-indole-3yl-butyric acid - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - TDZ thidiazuron (N-phenyl-N-1,2,3-thidiazol-5-ylurea)     

High frequency adventitious shoot regeneration from excised leaves ofPaulownia spp. cultured in vitro

High frequency, direct regeneration of shoots was induced in leaf cultures ofPaulownia tomentosa, P. fortunei x P. tomentosa andP. kawakamii. The optimum culture medium for the leaf explants derived from shoot cultures was Murashige-Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 10 M indole-3-acetic acid and 50 M benzyladenine. Up to 40 shoots were obtained over a 4 month culture period from each leaf explant. Rooting occurred spontaneously in the shoots that were about 1 cm tall when subcultured on phytohormone-free MS medium. The plantlets could be transplanted successfully. Some of the transplantedP. tomentosa plantlets flowered in the greenhouse one year after transplanting. The protocol is suitable not only for rapid multiplication of the various species ofPaulownia, but also for analytical studies associated with adventitious shoot regeneration.     

Effect of auxins and cytokinins on plant regeneration from hypocotyls and cotyledons in niger (Guizotia abyssinica Cass.)

Tissue cultures were established from hypocotyl and cotyledonary leaf segments ofGuizotia abyssinica Cass. on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of auxins (IAA, NAA, IBA or 2,4-D) and cytokinins (KN or BA). Expiants cultured on media with cytokinins or in combination with auxins produced shoot buds. Maximum number of shoot buds (20–25 per culture) were differentiated from cotyledonary leaf segments on medium with 2 mg 1^-1 each of KN and IBA. Rooting of regenerated shoot buds was acheived on medium with NAA. The obtained plantlets were successfully transferred to soil.     

GUS expression in blueberry (Vaccinium spp.): factors influencing Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer efficiency

Several factors were investigated for their influence on the transfer of an intron-containing β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene into blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) leaf explants during the early stages of Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer, including days of cocultivation, strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, explant age and genotype. The number of GUS-expressing leaf zones and calli were counted immediately and 2 weeks after cocultivation, respectively, to evaluate the gene transfer process. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 (pEHA105/p35SGUS-int) was significantly more effective for transformation than strain LBA4404 (pAL4404/p35SGUSint). Four days of cocultivation with A. tumefaciens strain EHA105 yielded about 50-fold more GUS-expressing zones than 2 days of cocultivation. Significant differences among cultivars were observed for both GUS-expressing leaf zones and calli. For some cultivars, explant age influenced the number of GUS-expressing leaf zones and calli. In most cases, the number of GUS-expressing calli was highest in those cultivars where GUS expression in the leaves was high.
