Callus induction and plant regeneration from shoot portions of mature embryos of high tannin sorghums

Callus and plant regenertion were induced from shoot portions of mature embryos (dry seeds) of five high tannin Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench cultivars. The explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium with altered concentrations of 5 salts, supplemented with 150 mg/L L-asparagine, 5mg/L 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.05mg/L kinetin. Calli which were yellow and globular were formed with 70–90% frequencies. The subculture medium which gave best results was MS with 2mg/L 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.5mg/L kinetin. Plants were regenerated on MS medium supplemented with 150mg/L L-asparagine and 0.2mg/L kinetin with regeneration frequencies of 11–48%.Abbreviations 2,4-D dichlorophenoxyacetic acid

Callus induction and plant regeneration from maize mature embryos

Calli were induced from mature embryos of maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines A632, B73 and Mol7 on MS medium supplemented with 1–2 mg/1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Callus induction frequency ranged from 23–100%, with Mol7 having the highest frequency. Plants were regenerated from 4–5% of the B73 and Mol7 explants. Embryogenic and organogenic calli of B73 were maintained for more than two and one half years without losing regenerability. Of 95 regenerated plants, only one R₀ plant with abnormal pollen was detected, and no morphological variants were observed in the R₁ progeny.Abbreviations Dicamba 3,6-Dichloro-o-anisic acid - IAA 3-indoleacetic acid - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - Ze zeatin     

Callus induction and shoot regeneration in Sempervivum tectorum

Leaf and shoot explants of Sempervivum tectorum L., taken from 14- and 30-day-old plants germinated in vitro, have been studied by using Murashige-Skoog and White basal media with cytokinins (benzyladenine, kinetin) and auxins (indoleacetic acid, naphthaleneacetic acid, indolebutyric acid) in various concentrations. Explants taken from 14-day-old plants died but 30-day-old leaves and shoots produced yellow and soft, as well as green and hard calluses on Murashige-Skoog medium with 4.4–8.8 M benzyladenine and 0.57 M indoleacetic acid. Shoot organogenesis was induced from green, hard callus in a medium with 2.2 M benzyladenine plus either 1.1 M indoleacetic acid or 2.5 M indolebutyric acid. Whole plants were grown on Murashige-Skoog medium without plant growth regulators. On the other hand, White medium was not suitable for raising Sempervivum tectorum in vitro.Abbreviations BA benzyladenine - IAA indoleacetic acid - IBA indolebutyric acid - MS Murashige-Skoog - NAA napthaleneacetic acid - W White     

Callus induction and thallus regeneration in some species of red algae

Callus induction was obtained from axenic explants of 14 species of red algae. ASP12NTA solid medium (1.5% agar) supplemented with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) was used for callus induction. In most of the species, addition of IAA or BAP at 0.1 mg/L or 1.0 mg/L enhanced callus induction rate or callus size. The combination of IAA (0.1 mg/L) and BAP (0.1 mg/L) was more effective among eight species, while high concentrations of IAA (10 mg/L) showed an inhibitory effect. Great variation in callus form, source tissue, and color of the induced callus were observed. The callus mainly originated from medullary and cortical tissue of the explant. Callus with filamentous, oval and spherical cell chains or disorganized cell mass was observed. The excised calluses from the explants of six species showed sustained growth on subculture. On transfer of the subdivided callus mass of seven species to PES liquid medium, shoot formation and thallus regeneration were observed.     

Callus formation and plant regeneration from immature and mature embryos of rye (Secale cereale L.)

Summary An efficient protocol was developed to regenerate entire plants from immature embryos of elite genotypes of rye as a prerequisite to plant transformation. Three winter genotypes and one spring genotype were tested using both immature and mature embryos as explants. Four types of callus initiation media and five kinds of regeneration media were tested in all possible combinations. Immature embryos gave much higher levels of plant regeneration than mature embryos, but mature embryos could be induced to regenerate plants for all genotypes and media tested, although at low levels. A minimum stage of embryo development must be reached before embryos can be cultured successfully. Genotypic effects were less pronounced than those reported for inbred cereal species such as wheat and barley, but there was an effect of genotype on percentage of callus formation. There was a significant interaction between genotype and initiation media. Composition of the initiation media affected both the percentage of callus formation from embryos and subsequent frequencies of plant regeneration. Composition of the regeneration media had no effect on level of plant regeneration. Immature embryos of all genotypes tested could be induced to produce 90–100% callus on appropriate initiation media and all regenerated shoots from approximately one-half to three-quarters of the calluses produced.     

Callus induction and high-frequency plant regeneration from hypocotyl and cotyledon explants of Arctium lappa L.

Summary This study describes a protocol for plant regeneration from cultured seedling explants of Arctium lappa. Hypocotyls and cotyledons of A. lappa were induced to form callus by culturing on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.0mg l^−1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.5–2.0 mg l^−1 benzyladenine (BA). Formation of adventitious buds could be induced from calluses or explants directly by culturing on MS medium containing 1.0–2.0 mg l^−1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.5–2.0 mg l^−1 BA. These regenerated shoots were rooted on MS medium with 1.0 mg l^−1 indole-3-butyric acid or indole-3-acetic acid in combination with 1.0 mgl^−1 NAA. The regenerated plants acclimatized in soil were normal morphologically and in growth characters. They flowered and set seeds in the following year after acclimatization.     

Optimization of multiple shoot induction and plant regeneration in Indian barley (Hordeum vulgare) cultivars using mature embryos

Barley is the fourth most important crop in the world. Development of a regeneration system using immature embryos is both time consuming and laborious. The present study was initiated with a view to develop a regeneration system in six genotypes of Indian barley (Hordeum vulgare) cultivars as a prerequisite to transformation. The mature embryos were excised from seeds and cultured on MS medium supplemented with high and low concentrations of cytokinins and auxins respectively. The MS medium containing 3 mg/L N⁶-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 0.5 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was found to be the most effective for multiple shoot formation in HOR7231 cultivar that could produce 12 shoots per explant. The other cultivars HOR4409 and HOR3844 produced a minimum number of adventitious shoots (1.33 and 1.67 respectively) on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L BA and 0.3 mg/L 2,4-D. The elongated shoots were separated and successfully rooted on MS medium containing 1 mg/L indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The response of different barley cultivars was found to be varying with respect to multiple shoot production. This is the first report of multiple shoot induction and plantlet regeneration in Indian cultivar of barley which would be useful for genetic transformation.     

Auxin and sugar effects on callus induction and plant regeneration frequencies from mature embryos of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Summary Genetic engineering of cereals currently depends on the use of tissue culture and plant regeneration systems. In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), immature embryos are the most widely used explant to initiate cultures, but they are inconvenient due to their temporal availability and production requirements. Mature embryos are easily stored and are readily available as mature seeds. However, plant regeneration frequencies from cultures derived from mature embryos are generally low. This research was undertaken to improve callus induction and plant regeneration from wheat mature embryos of cultivar ‘Bobwhite’. The effects of four auxins [2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D): 3,6-dichloro-o-anisic acid (dicamba); 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram): and 2-(2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy) propionic acid (2-MCPP)], and the effect of maltose vs. sucrose under filter sterilized and autoclaved conditions were evaluated. All auxin treatments resulted in callus induction except 2 MCPP. A highly significant effect of auxin type on both callus and plantlet production was detected, though interactions were observed. The effect of sugar type was dependent on the type of auxin used. Substitution of sucrose by maltose enhanced the regenration ability of callus from embryos cultured on media containing 2,4-D and picloram, but caused an opposite effect on media containing dicamba. Picloram significantly enhanced callus growth, however, embryogenic response and plant regenerability were low. Relative to 2.4-D, dicamba (18μM) resulted in a twofold increase in the number of plants regenerated per embryo and reduced the amount of time required for plant regeneration by 3–4 wk.

In vitro plant regeneration of spinach from mature seed-derived callus

Summary A system for the regeneration of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) from mature dry seed explants has been established. The response of two commercial spinach cultivars, ‘Grandstand’ and ‘Baker’, was examined. Callus proliferation was most prominent on MS medium supplemented with 9.3 μM of 6-furfurylaminopurine (kinetin) and 3.39 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Adventitious shoot formation was observed within 8 wk after callus was transferred onto regeneration medium. Shoot regeneration was best from callus induced on 9.3 μM kinetin and 4.56 μM 2,4-D. The regeneration medium contained 9.3 μM kinetin, 0.045 μM 2,4-D, and 2.89 μM gibberellic acid (GA₃). Shoots were rooted on hormone-free medium, and plants grown in a greenhouse showed normal phenotype. This system is beneficial in rapid propagation of spinach plants, particularly when only a limited number of seeds are available.     

Callus induction and plant regeneration from immature embryos of rye and triticale

Callus cultures were established from the scutellum, scutellar node and radicle region of immature embryos of rye and octoploid triticale on modified Murashige-Skoog basal medium supplemented with various growth regulators. 2, 4-D, 2, 4, 5-T and 2, 4, 5-Cl, POP were found suitable for initiation and maintenance of callus cultures. Cytokinins had no or inhibitory effect on callus induction and growth. On basal medium containing 5 mg/l of 2,4,5-Cl₃ POP, 16% of triticale and 17% of rye primary cultures exhibited shoot bud regeneration after 3–4 weeks. Transfer of such cultures to basal medium supplemented with zeatin or zeatin in combination with IAA further promoted shoot elongation and plantlet formation. Plantlets were rooted on basal medium containing 1 mg/l NAA and were eventually transferred to soil. Chlorophyll variants were observed in about 6% of triticale cultures.     

An efficient and rapid regeneration via multiple shoot induction from mature seed derived embryogenic and organogenic callus of Indian maize (Zea mays L.)

An efficient method for in vitro micro propagation and genetic transformation of plants are crucial for both basic and applied research. Maize is one of the most important cereal crops around the world. Regeneration from immature embryo is hampered due to its unavailability round the year. On the contrary mature embryo especially tropical maize is recalcitrant toward tissue culture. Here we report a highly efficient regeneration (90%) system for maize by using 2 different approaches i.e., embryogenic and organogenic callus cultures. Seeds were germinated on MS medium supplemented with 5 mg/l 2,4-D and 3 mg/l BAP. Nodal regions of 2 wks old seedlings were longitudinally split upon isolation and subsequently placed on callus initiation medium. The maximum frequency of embryogenic callus formation (90%) was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/l 2,4-D and 1 mg/l BAP in the dark conditions. The compact granular organogenic callus formation (85% frequency) was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 2.5 mg/l 2,4-D and 1.5 mg/l BAP at light conditions. MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/l BAP, 1 mg/l Kinetin and 0.5 mg/l NAA promoted the highest frequency of shoot induction. The highest frequency of root formation was observed when shoots were grown on MS medium. The regenerated plants were successfully hardened in earthen pots after adequate acclimatization. The important advantage of this improved method is shortening of regeneration time by providing an efficient and rapid regeneration tool for obtaining more stable transformants from mature seeds of Indian tropical maize cultivar (HQPM-1).     

Screening wheat genotypes for high callus induction and regeneration capability from anther and immature embryo cultures

Plant regeneration via tissue culture varies with the genotype and is an important factor in establishing cell selection and genetic transformation systems. To select genotypes – especially Japanese ones – with a high regeneration capability, we screened 107 wheat genotypes (78 domestic, 29 foreign) for callus induction and regeneration capability from anther and immature embryo cultures. For anther culture, 83 of 107 genotypes tested induced calli and 45 regenerated plants. Only 9 genotypes, however, produced green plants, 25 produced only albino plants, and 11 produced both green and albino plants. Glennson 81 was the highest in callus induction, followed by Orofen, Danchi–komugi and Chris. The genotypes with a relatively high regeneration capability were Framala 80 at 24% and Glennson 81 at 19%, these two genotypes produced only green plants. For immature embryo culture, 97 genotypes showed a 90% callus induction rate and 74 genotypes regenerated plants. Very few genotypes produced albino plants. The genotypes with a high regeneration capability were Genaro 81 at 90%, Chinese Spring at 80%, and Norin 75 at 75%.

Improved shoot development and rooting from mature cotyledons of sunflower

Regeneration and development of shoots from sunflower cotyledons were improved by optimizing explant age, plant growth regulator concentrations, and duration of exposure to plant growth regulators during shoot initiation, development and rooting. Shoot initiation required only a brief exposure to auxin and cytokinin, and minimizing the duration of exposure to high levels of plant growth regulators improved shoot development. Rooting was improved in terms of both the number of shoots that rooted and the time required for rooting by incorporating activated charcoal in the lower layer of a 2-layer rooting medium.

Callus formation and plant regeneration from tubercles of Coryphantha elephantidens (Lem.) Lem.

Summary Callus cultures were established from pith tissue of Coryphantha elephantidens (Lem.) Lem. on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 9.05 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2.3 μM kinetin. Highest shoot regeneration frequency was observed on a medium containing 6.9 μM kinetin and 2.3 μM 2,4-D under 30 μE m⁻² s⁻¹ light intensity with a 16-h photoperiod. Calluses retained organogenic potential throughout several passages of subculture (18 mo.). Shoots were rooted on MS medium without plant growth regulators. All (100%) plantlets transplanted to soil survived acclimatization. Regenerated plants showed good overall growth and were morphologically similar to the mother plants.     

Efficient plant regeneration of garlic (Allium Sativum L.) by root-tip culture

Summary Root apices from in vitro cultured garlic (Allium sativum) cloves of cvs. ABEN and GT96-1 were used as axenic explants for organogenic callus production and plant regeneration experiments. Explants cultured in media based on those of Chu and co-workers (N6) or Murashige and Skoog (MS) could induce organogenic callus after 8 wk culture in darkness. Both media were supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2.2–4.5 μM), alone or combined with 6-furfurylaminopurine (kinetin, 2.3–4.6 μM). Shoots started to grow 3 wk after culturing in the presence of light and the addition to culture media of 4.4 μM N⁶-benzyladenine. Plants capable of producing microbulbs regenerated 6 wk later. Up to 170 plants g⁻¹ FW callus were obtained when culturing was initiated in MS medium supplemented with 4.6 μM kinetin and 4.5 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid.
