A method for isolation and shoot regeneration from electrofused protoplasts of L. angustifolius and L. subcarnosus was developed. Viable protoplasts were isolated from leaves of in-vitro grown seedlings at an average yield of 6 × 105 protoplasts g−1 fresh weight. Liquid and agarose solidified B5 media were used for protoplast culture. In the liquid-culture system, all
tested media, VKM, P1 and KM8p, were applicable for inducing cell division (84% of all tested petri dishes at four weeks)
and colony formation. Media containing additional carbohydrates were suitable to produce compact calli with green and brown
pigmentations in different combinations. Analysis of callus with molecular markers allowed to identify six somatic hybrids.
However, none of the parental-protoplast derived cell colonies could develop shoots. This is the first report on protoplast
fusion of L. angustifolius and L. subcarnosus with subsequent shoot regeneration. 相似文献

Jatropha curcas contains high amounts of oil in its seed and has been considered for bio-diesel production. A transformation procedure for
J. curcas has been established for the first time via
Agrobacterium tumefaciens infection of cotyledon disc explants. The results indicated that the efficiency of transformation using the strain LBA4404
and phosphinothricin for selection was an improvement over that with the strain EHA105 and hygromycin. About 55% of the cotyledon
explants produced phosphinothricin-resistant calluses on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.5 mg l−1 benzyladenine (BA), 0.05 mg l−1 3–indolebutyric acid (IBA), 1 mg l−1 phosphinothricin and 500 mg l−1 cefotaxime after 4 weeks. Shoots were regenerated following transfer of the resistant calli to shoot induction medium containing
1.5 mg l−1 BA, 0.05 mg l−1 IBA, 0.5 mg l−1 gibberellic acid (GA3), 1 mg l−1 phosphinothricin and 250 mg l−1 cefotaxime, and about 33% of the resistant calli differentiated into shoots. Finally, the resistant shoots were rooted on
1/2 MS media supplemented with 0.3 mg l−1 IBA at a rate of 78%. The transgenic nature of the transformants was demonstrated by the detection of β-glucuronidase activity
in the primary transformants and by PCR and Southern hybridization analysis. 13% of the total inoculated explants produced
transgenic plants after approximately 4 months. The procedure described will be useful for both, the introduction of desired
genes into J. curcas and the molecular analysis of gene function. 相似文献

Thellungiella halophila is a salt-tolerant close relative of Arabidopsis, which is adopted as a halophytic model for stress tolerance research. We established an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation procedure for T. halophila. Leaf explants of T. halophila were incubated with A. tumefaciens strain EHA105 containing a binary vector pCAMBIA1301 with the hpt gene as a selectable marker for hygromycin resistance and an intron-containing β-glucuronidase gene as a reporter gene. Following
co-cultivation, leaf explants were cultured on selective medium containing 10 mg l−1 hygromycin and 500 mg l−1 cefotaxime. Hygromycin-resistant calluses were induced from the leaf explants after 3 weeks. Shoot regeneration was achieved
after transferring the calluses onto fresh medium of the same composition. Finally, the shoots were rooted on half strength
MS basal medium supplemented with 10 mg l−1 hygromycin. Incorporation and expression of the transgenes were confirmed by PCR, Southern blot analysis and GUS histochemical
assay. Using this protocol, transgenic T. halophila plants can be obtained in approximately 2 months with a high transformation frequency of 26%. 相似文献

Efficient plant regeneration via shoot tip provided a basis for the optimization of the genetic transformation protocol. Therefore,
experiments were conducted to establish an efficient in vitro regeneration protocol in summer squash for genetic co-transformation.
6-benzylaminopurine at 0.05 mg l−l was found to be optimum concentration of direct regeneration from shoot tip. Effective root system was induced in shootlets
in indole-3-aceticacid 0.5 mg l−l. Two vectors namely pCAMBIA 2200 harboring marker gene nptII and pCAMBIA 0390 harboring gene, encoding C-repeat binding factor (cbf1) were used for co-transformation taking shoot tips as explants from in vitro germinated seeds. Explants were selected after
co-cultivation on kanamycin supplemented medium and shoots and roots were induced. The transgenic plants were confirmed by
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and further southern blot analysis confirmed the integration of nptII and cbf1 genes in genome of summer squash with co-transformation efficiency of 0.7 percent. 相似文献

An efficient in vitro plant regeneration protocol through somatic embryogenesis and direct shoot organogenesis has been developed for pearl millet
(Pennisetum glaucum). Efficient plant regeneration is a prerequisite for a complete genetic transformation protocol. Shoot tips, immature inflorescences,
and seeds of two genotypes (843B and 7042-DMR) of pearl millet formed callus when cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium
supplemented with varying levels of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D; 4.5, 9, 13.5, and 18 μM). The level of 2,4-D, the
type of explant, and the genotype significantly effected callus induction. Calli from each of the three explant types developed
somatic embryos on MS medium containing 2.22 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA) and either 1.13, 2.25, or 4.5 μM of 2,4-D. Somatic embryos
developed from all three explants and generated shoots on MS medium containing high levels of BA (4.4, 8.8, or 13.2 μM) combined
with 0.56 μM 2,4-D. The calli from the immature inflorescences exhibited the highest percentage of somatic embryogenesis and
shoot regeneration. Moreover, these calli yielded the maximum number of differentiated shoots per callus. An efficient and
direct shoot organogenesis protocol, without a visible, intervening callus stage, was successfully developed from shoot tip
explants of both genotypes of pearl millet. Multiple shoots were induced on MS medium containing either BA or kinetin (4.4,
8.8, 17.6, or 26.4 μM). The number of shoots formed per shoot tip was significantly influenced by the level of cytokinin (BA/kinetin)
and genotype. Maximum rooting was induced in 1/2 strength MS with 0.8% activated charcoal. The regenerated plants were transferred
to soil in pots, where they exhibited normal growth. 相似文献

In vitro culture establishment, shoot proliferation and ex vitro rooting responses of Mongolian cherry (Prunus fruticosa L.), and Nanking cherry (Prunus tomentosa L.), were examined using various combinations of growth regulators. Dormant buds, taken during winter months, were used as explants. In both species, Murashige and Skoog Minimal Organic (MSMO) solid medium supplemented with 0.49 M indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and either 4.44 or 8.88 M 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), was the best for culture initiation, and with 8.88–15.16 M BA for shoot proliferation. Good rooting responses were also obtained with shoots produced on media containing 0.91 M thidiazuron (TDZ). Auxin treatments were required for ex vitro rooting of approximately 20 mm long shoots in peat/perlite (1:1 v/v) mixture, at 25 °C, under mist. The best rooting (79%) was obtained with IBA/NAA (naphthaleneacetic acid) (9.80/2.69 M) combination. A commercial rooting powder, Rootone F, containing IBA/NAA (0.057/0.067%), was also effective (73%). The ex vitro rooted plantlets did not require any additional acclimatization prior to transplanting to the regular greenhouse conditions. 相似文献

The organogenic competence of leaf explants of eleven Carthamus species including C. tinctorius on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of thidiazuron (TDZ) + α-naphthaleneacetic
acid (NAA) and 6-benzyladenine (BA) + NAA was investigated. Highly prolific adventitious shoot regeneration was observed in
C. tinctorius and C. arborescens on both growth regulator combinations and the shoot regeneration frequency was higher on medium supplemented with TDZ + NAA.
Nodal culture of nine Carthamus species on media supplemented with BA and kinetin (KIN) individually revealed the superiority of media supplemented with
BA over that of KIN in facilitating a higher shoot proliferation index. Proliferating shoots from axillary buds and leaf explants
were transferred to medium supplemented with 1.0 mg dm−3 KIN or 0.5 mg dm−3 BA for shoot elongation. Elongated shoots were rooted on half-strength MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg dm−3 each of indole-butyric acid (IBA) and phloroglucinol. The plantlets thus obtained were hardened and transferred to soil. 相似文献

An efficient protocol was developed for in vitro clonal propagation of Curculigo orchioides Gaertn. through apical meristem culture. Multiple shoots were induced from apical meristems grown on Murashige and Skoog
(MS) basal medium supplemented with 1.5 mg l−1 6-benzyladenine (BA), 100 mg l−1 adenine sulfate (Ads) and 3% sucrose. Inclusion of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) or indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in the culture
medium improved the formation of multiple shoots. The highest frequency of multiplication was obtained on MS medium supplemented
with 1.5 mg l−1 BA, 100 mg l−1 Ads, 0.25 mg l−1 IBA and 3% sucrose. Rooting was achieved upon transferring the micro-shoots to half-strength MS medium containing 0.25 mg
l−1 IBA and 2% sucrose. Micropropagtated plantlets were hardened in the greenhouse and successfully established in soil. 相似文献

Leaves of Solanum virginianum plants were used for protoplast isolation. To support cell wall formation and cell division, protoplasts were cultured in
thin alginate layers floated in liquid medium. When protoplasts were plated at a density of 1.0 × 106/ml in Kao and Michyaluk (KMp8) medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l zeatin, 1.0 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and 1.0 mg/l
α-naphthaleneacetic acid, 42.3% of the dividing cells developed microcalli in 3–4 weeks. Shoot formation via organogenesis
of protoplast-derived calli was achieved for 28% of calli transferred to solidified KMp8 medium supplemented with 2.0 g/l
zeatin and 0.1 mg/l 3-indol acetic acid in about 2 weeks. Further shoot development was observed in Murashige and Skoog (MS)
medium without growth regulators and roots were induced after transfer to MS medium containing 1.0 mg/l 3-indol butyric acid.

Echinacea, better known as purple coneflower, has received a global attention because of its increasing medicinal value. There is enormous
potential for the discovery of new medicinal compounds in this species and an immediate need for techniques to facilitate
the production of high quality, chemically consistent plant material for drug development and clinical trials. In vitro tissue culture of Echinacea can play a vital role in the development of novel germplasm, rapid multiplication, and genetic modifications for an enhanced
phytochemical production. Recent establishment of liquid culture techniques, large-scale bioreactors, and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation are changing the production parameters of the Echinacea species. This review provides an overview of the recent developments in in vitro technologies and challenges that remain in the Echinacea biotechnology. 相似文献

The propagation of Givotia rottleriformis Griff. is difficult as a result of long seed dormancy associated with poor seed germination. The present study was undertaken
to develop a protocol to overcome seed dormancy by culture of zygotic embryo axes and then develop an efficient method for
micropropagation of Givotia. Best germination frequency (78.3%) was achieved from mature zygotic embryo axes isolated from acid-scarified fresh seeds
when cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium (half-strength major salts) with 28.9 μM gibberellic acid (GA3). Efficient plant conversion was achieved by transfer of 10-d-old germinated embryos to MS medium (half-strength major salts)
supplemented with 1.2 μM kinetin (KN) and 0.5 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). However, acid scarification of 1-yr-old seeds
decreased the germination frequency of zygotic embryo axes in comparison to those obtained from non-acid-scarified seeds which
germinated (96.2%) and converted into plants (80.3%) on MS basal (half-strength major salts) medium. Multiple shoot bud induction
was achieved by culture of shoot tips derived from in vitro germinated seedlings on MS medium with 0.5 μM thidiazuron for 4 wk, and the shoots elongated after transfer to a secondary
medium with 1.2 μM KN. A maximum number of 7.8 shoots per explant with an average shoot length of 3.2 cm was achieved after
two subcultures on this medium. The in vitro regenerated shoots rooted (41.5%) on half-strength MS medium with 0.5 μM IBA. The in vitro generated seedlings and micropropagated plants were established in soil with a survival frequency of 70% and 60%, respectively. 相似文献

Guggulsterone, a hypolipidemic natural agent, is produced in resin canals of the plant Commiphora wightii. In this study, the efficacy of different plant growth regulators was evaluated for optimizing its production. Morphactin
was found to be effective in enhancing the accumulation of guggulsterones in callus cultures. Maximum callus growth was recorded
on medium containing morphactin (0.1 mg l−1) and 2iP (2.5 mg l−1), whereas maximum guggulsterone production occurred when the calluses were cultured on medium containing 0.1 mg l−1 morphactin and 1.0 mg l−1 2iP. Morphactin and 2iP interacted significantly to enhance the callus growth and guggulsterone production by about 8-folds
in one-year-old cultures. However, the effect of morphactin on callus growth and guggulsterone production was not uniform
over the levels of 2iP tested. Such an effect of morphactin has never been reported on the production of secondary metabolites. 相似文献

This report deals with micropropagation of the critically endangered and endemic Turkish shrub, Thermopsis turcica using callus, root and cotyledonary explants. Callus cultures were initiated from root and cotyledon explants on MS medium
supplemented with 0.5–20 μM NAA or 2,4-D. The root explants were found to be better in terms of quick responding and callusing
percentages as compared to the cotyledons. Organogenic callus production with adventitious roots and shoots were obtained
on MS medium with only NAA. The calli obtained with NAA, root and cotyledonary explants were cultured with BA and kinetin
(2–8 μM) alone or in combination with a low level (0.5 μM) of 2,4-D or NAA. The best regeneration of shoots from root explants
was observed on hormone-free MS medium. NAA with BA or kinetin in the medium improved shoot induction from the calli obtained
with NAA. Maximum percentage of shoots (93.3%), maximum number of shoots (6.2) and maximun length of shoots (8.22 cm) were
achieved from cotyledonary explants at 4 μM BA and 0.5 μM NAA. The presence of 0.5 μM or higher levels of 2,4-D in shoot induction
medium inhibited the regeneration in T. turcica explants. 83% of in vitro rooting was attained on pulsed-IBA treated shoots. The regenerated plants with well developed shoots and roots were successfully
acclimatized. Application of this study’s results has the potential to conserve T. turcica from extinction. 相似文献

Arachis correntina (Burkart) Krapov. & W.C. Gregory is a herbaceous perennial leguminous plant growing in the Northeast of the Province Corrientes, Argentina. It is important as forage. The development of new A. correntina cultivars with improved traits could be facilitated through the application of biotechnological strategies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the plant regeneration potential of mature leaves of A. correntina in tissue culture. Buds were induced from both petiole and laminae on 0.7% agar-solidified medium containing 3% sucrose, salts and vitamins from Murashige and Skoog (MS) supplemented with 0.5–25 M thidiazuron (TDZ). Shoot induction was achieved by transference of calli with buds to MS supplemented with 5 M TDZ. Fifty-four percent of the regenerated shoot rooted on MS + 5 M naphthaleneacetic acid. Histological studies revealed that shoots regenerated via organogenesis. 相似文献

Prolific differentiation of shoot buds of Leucaena leucocephala was induced from the different plant parts viz. cotyledon, hypocotyl and leaf. Adventitious shoot bud formation was recorded
with prudent application of N6-2- (isopentenyl) adenosine and 15% (v/v) coconut water. Coconut water alone was unable to produce any beneficial effect with
regard to the shoot bud proliferation but the response was augmented with the increase in concentration of N6-2- (isopentenyl) adenosine. However supra-optimal level of N6-2-(isopentenyl) adenosine was inhibitory. Best response was recorded from the cotyledon explant at 2 mg dm−3 N6-2-(isopentenyl) adenosine compared to the other two explants. Comparative assessment was undertaken following the same experimental
protocol in liquid shake culture. The regenerated shoot buds were subcultured in plant growth regulator-free medium where
leafy shoot emergence was recorded. Optimum regeneration of roots was observed in these shoots in presence of 1 mg dm−3 α-naphthalene acetic acid. Plantlets were finally hardened following standard procedures before transplantation to the field.
In another experimental set up, the de-embryonated cotyledons regenerated shoot buds via callus formation. The regenerated
shoots and plantlets obtained through callus mediated organogenesis could be used for rapid multiplication and also for the
genetic improvement of individual clones of Leucaena leucocephala. 相似文献

Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub) is a drought tolerant and multipurpose grain legume cash crop grown primarily under rainfed conditions in several countries. The effect of various growth regulators and their combinations on a variety of explants, namely the embryo, cotyledons, cotyledonary nodes, shoot tip and hypocotyle, has been studied and an efficient system for callus induction and regeneration from callus has been developed. It was established that Murashige and Skoogs culture medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (10.0M) in combination with 6-benzylaminopurine (5.0M) with embryo or cotyledon explants is most suitable for induction of green and friable morphogenic callus, with a range of 82.5–95% of cultured explants responding to callus induction. Efficient de novo shoot regeneration was achieved by culturing the callus obtained on this medium on Murashige and Skoogs medium containing 1-naphthlenacetic acid (13.0M) in combination with 6-benzylaminopurine (5.0M) with a range of 82.1–88.4% of callus clumps producing 20–25 shoots. In vitro rooting of cultured shoots was obtained on half-salt concentration of Murashige and Skoogs culture medium supplied with indole-3-butyric acid (5.0M) on which 82–90% of cultured shoots produced healthy roots. The in vitro regenerated plants were grown to pod setting and subsequent maturity under greenhouse conditions. 相似文献

An efficient and reproducible method for the regeneration of multiple shoots of brown oak (Quercus semecarpifolia Sm.) has been developed in which a part of the petiolar tube containing a primary shoot is used as the explant. Explants
derived from in vitro grown seedlings were cultured either on Murashige and Skoog or Woody Plant medium (WPM) containing different concentrations
of benzyladenine (BAP) throughout the range of 1–20 μM. WPM supplemented with 20 μM BAP was found to be best for adventitious
shoot induction and for the multiplication of individual shoots. In-vitro-produced shoots were rooted using a two-step method. Firstly, shoots were cultured on WPM containing indolebutyric acid (IBA)
at either 50 or 100 μM for 24 or 48 h. Secondly, the shoots were transferred to plant-growth-regulator-free half-strength
WPM. The second step not only considerably improved the rooting percentage but also minimized the formation of basal callus.
The most effective first-step treatment was found to be 100 μM IBA for 24 h, which initiated rooting at a frequency of 100%.
Well-rooted plants were transferred to plastic cups containing nonsterile, sieved soil and farmyard manure, hardened under
greenhouse conditions, and then successfully established in pots. This procedure is suitable for use in large-scale production
of plants and may have potential application in additional oak species. 相似文献

Broussonetia papyrifera is well-known for its bark fibers, which are used for making paper, cloth, rope etc. This is the first report of a successful
genetic transformation protocol for B. papyrifera using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Callus was initiated at a frequency of about 100% for both leaf and petiole explants. Shoots formed on these calli with
a success rate of almost 100%, with 14.08 and 8.36 shoots regenerating from leave-derived and petiole-derived callus, respectively.
For genetic transformation, leaf explants of B. papyrifera were incubated with A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harboring the binary vector pCAMBIA 1301 which contains the hpt gene as a selectable marker for hygromycin resistance and an intron-containing β-glucuronidase gene (gus-int) as a reporter gene. Following co-cultivation, leaf explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (Physiol Plant 15:473,
1962) (MS) medium supplemented with 1.5 mg l−1 benzyladenine (BA) and 0.05 mg l−1 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) (CI medium) containing 5 mg l−1 hygromycin and 500 mg l−1 cefotaxime, in the dark. Hygromycin-resistant calli were induced from leaf explants 3 weeks thereafter. Regenerating shoots
were obtained after transfer of the calli onto MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg l−1 BA, 0.05 mg l−1 IBA, and 0.5 mg l−1 gibberellic acid (GA3) (SI medium), 5 mg l−1 hygromycin and 250 mg l−1 cefotaxime under fluorescent light. Finally, shoots were rooted on half strength MS medium (1/2 MS) supplemented with 10 mg l−1 hygromycin. Transgene incorporation and expression was confirmed by PCR, Southern hybridisation and histochemical GUS assay.
Using this protocol, transgenic B. papyrifera plants containing desirable new genes can be obtained in approximately 3 months with a transformation frequency as high as
44%. 相似文献

Mammillaria species are the most numerous within Cactaceae family, and some of them are threatened with extinction as a result of human
activities. In this work, results of in vitro propagation are presented for ten Mammillaria species, testing 20 combinations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and kinetin. Best results on shoot formation were obtained
using kinetin at two levels: 27.9 and 46.5 μM. All IAA levels tested were able to induce de novo shoot formation in M. bocasana, M. densispina, M. hahniana, M. hutchisoniana, M. orcutii, M. pectinifera, M. perbella, M. picta, M. rhodantha, and M. zephyranthoides. Depending on the IAA level tested, four responding groups were observed concerning their highest shoot-formation number.
For all species, the highest average of shoot formation was achieved with 5.7:46.5 or 11.4:46.5 μM IAA/kinetin, yielding 4.8
and 4.7 shoots per explant, respectively, in 60 d. Rooting of regenerated shoots was achieved by leaving the explants in their
shoot-induction medium or transferring them to half-strength MS medium. Hardening of regenerated plants was successfully achieved
by planting them in peat moss substrate after a desiccation treatment at room temperature for 3 d. 相似文献

A reproducible plant regeneration and an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation protocol were developed for Perilla frutescens (perilla). The largest number of adventitious shoots were induced directly without an intervening callus phase from hypocotyl explants on MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). The effects of preculture and extent of cocultivation were examined by assaying -glucuronidase (GUS) activity in explants infected with A. tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring the plasmid pIG121-Hm. The highest number of GUS-positive explants were obtained from hypocotyl explants cocultured for 3 days with Agrobacterium without precultivation. Transgenic perilla plants were regenerated and selected on MS basal medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/l BA, 125 mg/l kanamycin, and 500 mg/l carbenicillin. The transformants were confirmed by PCR of the neomycin phosphotransferase II gene and genomic Southern hybridization analysis of the hygromycin phosphotransferase gene. The frequency of transformation from hypocotyls was about 1.4%, and the transformants showed normal growth and sexual compatibility by producing progenies. 相似文献
