Assessment of DNA methylation changes in tissue culture of Brassica napus

Plant tissue culture, as a fundamental technique for genetic engineering, has great potential of epigenetic variation, of which DNA methylation is well known of importance to genome activity. We assessed DNA methylation level of explants during tissue culture of Brassica napus (cv. Yangyou 9), using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assisted quantification. By detecting methylation levels in hypocotyls cultured in mediums with different concentrations of hormones, we found dissected tissue cultured with 0.1 mg/L 2,4-D and 1.0 mg/L 6-BA, presented the lowest methylation level and highest induction rate of callus (91.0%). Different time point of cultured explants also showed obvious methylation variations, explants cultured after 6 and 21 days exhibited methylation ratios of 4.33 and 8.07%, respectively. Whereas, the methylation ratio raised to 38.7% after 30 days cultivation, indicating that methylation level of hypocotyls ranged during tissue culture. Moreover, we observed that the methylation level in callus is the highest during regeneration of rapeseed, following the regenerated plantlets and hypocotyls. This paper indicated the function of hormones and differentiation of callus is relevant to the methylation levels during tissue culture.     

Rapid and highly efficient callus induction and plant regeneration in the starch-rich duckweed strains of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Landoltia punctata</Emphasis>

The starch-rich duckweed Landoltia punctata is a valuable aquatic plant in wastewater purification, bioenergy production, and many other applications. A highly efficient callus induction and plant regeneration protocol is desirable so that biotechnology can be used to develop new varieties with added value and adaptation. We studied both known and unknown factors that influence callus induction in L. punctata and obtained almost 100 % induction rate in 30 days. The optimum medium for callus induction was MS basal medium supplemented with 1 % sorbitol, 15 mg/L 2,4-D, and 2 mg/L 6-BA. Green fragile callus was induced from the meristematic region in the budding pouches. The optimum photoperiod for callus induction was 16-h day, and the optimum explant orientation was dorsal side down on the medium. The optimum medium for callus subculture was WPM basal medium supplemented with 2 % sorbitol, 4 mg/L 2,4-D, and 0.5 mg/L TDZ. Green callus could be maintained by subculture once every 4 weeks. However, when the subculture cycle was prolonged to 6 weeks or longer, yellow fragile embryogenic callus was obtained. The optimum plant regeneration medium was MS medium supplemented with 0.5 % sucrose, 1 % sorbitol, and 1.0 mg/L 6-BA with frond regeneration rates of approximately 90 %. The regenerated fronds rooted in Hoagland’s liquid medium in 1 week. The callus induction and frond regeneration protocol was tested for its efficiency in geographically distinct strains 5502, 8721, and 9264. Thus, we obtained a rapid and efficient protocol for callus induction and frond regeneration of L. punctata, which takes only 9 weeks.

Efficient somatic embryogenesis and bulblet regeneration of the endangered bulbous flower <Emphasis Type="Italic">Griffinia liboniana</Emphasis>

Using flower organs as primary explants and via somatic embryogenesis, we developed an efficient protocol for bulblet regeneration from in vitro-derived seedlings (bulblets) of Griffinia liboniana. Callus induction was tested on five types of floral organ (perianth, filament, pedicel, ovary and anther) in the presence of three combinations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA). Filament constituted the most responsive primary explant for regenerative callus induction, and the highest frequencies of callus induction (63.0?±?1.9%) and numbers of differentiated buds (3.7?±?0.3 buds/callus) were found on Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium (MS) supplemented with 1.0 mg L^?1 2,4-D and 1.0 mg L^?1 6-BA. Starting with in vitro-derived bulblets (0.8–1.5 cm in diameter), somatic embryo (SE) formation occurred within 6 weeks, followed by 8 weeks for SE germination and development on PGR-free media. The highest percentage (78.9?±?2.2%) of embryogenesis was obtained on MS media supplemented with 0.5 mg L^?1 6-BA and 1.5 mg L^?1 2,4-D, with an average of 28.0?±?2.1 bulblets/explant. Well-rooted bulblets were successfully acclimated to ex vitro conditions. A stable ploidy level of the regenerated bulblets was confirmed by flow cytometry (FCM) analysis. This is the first report about micropropagation methods of G. liboniana and constitutes an efficient and reusable method for bulblet regeneration of this endangered species. Additionally, this protocol enables large-scale vegetative production, germplasm preservation and genetic engineering of endangered Griffinia species.     

Effect of phytohormones on plant regeneration in callus culture of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Iris ensata</Emphasis> Thunb

The effect of phytohormones on plant regeneration in callus culture of Iris ensata Thunb. was studied. 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) proved to be the most suitable auxin for the induction and subculturing of morphogenic callus. Organogenic calluses were induced from isolated embryos at the waxphase in MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D (1.0–2.0 mg/l) and kinetin (0.2–0.5 mg/l). Changes in the medium hormonal composition favor the development of adventitious structures. The setting of adventitious shoot buds took place in the presence of 6-benzylaminopurine, while the development of shoots and root primordia was observed after 2,4-D replacement with indoleacetic acid (2.0 mg/l). The root initiation in regenerating plants required a hormone-free medium. The development of intact seedling and regenerated plants of I. ensata were studied. Analysis of the shoot structure demonstrated that in vitro cultured plants are at the juvenile stage.     

Plant regeneration using immature zygotic embryos of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tribulus terrestris</Emphasis>

The genus Tribulus is the source of a number of steroidal saponins and other bioactive compounds which are of medicinal and pharmaceutical importance and plant regeneration of Tribulus terrestris has been reported. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of immature zygotic embryos of Tribulus terrestris as an explant for plant regeneration. Embryos were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and thidiazuron (TDZ), alone or in combination and callus and shoot or embryo formation evaluated. With 2.5 mg/l NAA or 2,4-D, callus formation frequency was 100% but 57% with 2.5 mg/l TDZ. The combination of 2.5 mg/l TDZ and NAA or 2,4-D also elicited callus formation frequency of 100%. The callus formation frequency was lower with lower levels of these growth regulators. On a medium with 0.5 mg/l TDZ, 17.4% of the 2,4-D-derived callus (2.5 mg/l), developed embryo-like structures and this increased to 37.3 and 41.4% respectively, when TDZ was combined with 0.5 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) or 2,4-D. Both shoot formation and embryo-like structures developed in cultures with 2.5 mg/l TDZ, alone or in combination with 0.5 mg/l IBA or 2,4-D. The optimum sucrose level for morphogenetic response of embryo-derived callus was between 5.0 and 7.5%. Embryo-like structures were also observed when the 2,4-D-derived callus was cultured in a liquid containing benzyladenine (BA) and IBA. Plants were regenerated from both embryo-like structures and shoot buds on solid MS medium containing 0.2 mg/l IBA and rooted plantlets were transferred to soil.

Callus Induction in Small Flowered Willow Herb (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Epilobium parviflorum</Emphasis> Schreb)

In order to determine the most suitable in vitro tissue culture and plant regeneration conditions for the small flowered willow herb (Epilobium parviflorum Schreb), various explants were cultured on semi-solid MS media containing factorial combinations of plant growth regulators. Callus induction from hypocotyl, cotyledon, petiole and leaf explants was achieved on media containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and kinetin (KIN). All other growth regulator combinations [□-naphtaleneacetic acid (NAA) ± benzylaminopurine (BAP), NAA ± thidiazuron (TDZ), indol acetic acid (IAA) ± Zeatin (ZEA)] tested failed to respond. The best results with cotyledon- and petiole- derived callus were obtained from MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l^?1 2,4-D + 0.1 mg l^?1 KIN and 2.0 mg l^?1 2,4-D + 0.2 mg l^?1 KIN. It was observed that B5 basal medium was more effective than MS basal medium for producing seedling and the most effective seed sterilizing solution was 25 % (v/v) sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). No plant regeneration was observed in either callus induction or during the subculturing stage. This is the first report on in vitro tissue culture study within the genus Epilobium.
