Regeneration of Kosteletzkya virginica (L.) Presl. (Seashore Mallow) from callus cultures

Organogenic callus cultures of seashore mallow, Kosteletzkya virginica (L.) Presl., originated from excised mature embryos or stem sections of aseptically germinated plants initially cultured on Murashige & Skoog minimal organics medium containing 30000 mg l^-1 glucose, 2.0 mg l^-1 indoleacetic acid and 1.0 mg l^-1 kinetin. Plants were regenerated via shoots and roots from callus cultures following transfer through a series of media with different cytokinin/auxin ratios and changes in carbohydrate source. Meristematic regions, shoot and root primordia were observed during histological examination of the tissues. Somatic embryos were not found.     

核桃试管不定根的组织学研究

以核桃品种‘新早丰’试管嫩茎为试材,采用二步生根法诱导生根,对其试管苗不定根发生发育过程进行了解剖学研究。结果表明:核桃试管嫩茎内未发现潜伏根原基;诱导生根后,不定根原基起源于形成层,特别是髓射线正对的形成层部分,属于诱生根原基型;不定根上的侧根起源于中柱鞘细胞。核桃试管嫩茎不定根的发育过程可分为4个阶段:(1)形成层细胞分裂;(2)转变为分生组织细胞群(即根原始细胞);(3)细胞群发育成可见的根原基; (4)根原基内细胞继续分裂分化形成根尖的外形,其内发育出维管束,并向外生长,穿过皮层,突破茎表皮。在组织培养条件下长出的不定根内部解剖构造为典型的初生构造,移栽后68 d出现次生构造。另外,试管苗根毛出现与否及其发育状况受基质理化性质的影响,即生态条件可以改变组织发生及其形状。     

红皮云杉茎的解剖结构与插条不定根形成的研究

１９９２年７－８月定时固定红皮云杉插条基部材料于ＦＡＡ液中,石蜡制片法室内解剖研究不定根的发生。结果表明：红皮云杉插条诱发根原基的来源有两种途径。一种是愈伤组织生根型,在愈伤组织的再生形成层处,或茎的维管形成层诱发根原基;另一种是非愈伤组织生根型,在插条切口处的维管形成层、皮层或初生木质部与次生木质部间的薄壁组织较深的部位,直接产生纵向不定根原始体,有的在距离切口０．１－０．５ｃｍ以上茎的维管形成层,维管形成层与木射线的交界处及叶隙等薄壁组织产生径向不定根。不同个体间产生的不定根数量及发育的早晚差异较大。     

八角莲组织培养的器官发生途径研究

为探究小檗科植物八角莲组织培养的器官发生方式,该研究以八角莲离体叶片、叶柄在MS培养基上诱导产生的愈伤组织、不定芽、不定根为对象,用连续石蜡切片技术分析八角莲组织培养的器官发生途径。结果表明:八角莲愈伤组织形成的解剖学特征是靠近表皮的薄壁细胞经激素刺激恢复分裂能力,继续培养形成拟分生组织。拟分生组织可形成许多分化中心。通过对八角莲组织培养产生的不定芽细胞组织学观察发现芽原基起源于愈伤组织外侧的几层薄壁细胞,芽原基背离愈伤组织中央生长形成不定芽,故八角莲脱分化形成的芽起源方式为外起源。而八角莲的根原基起源于组织深处髓部薄壁细胞和部分维管形成层细胞,进而形成类似球形或楔形并朝韧皮部突起的根原基轮廓,根原基继续发育会突破表皮生成不定根,起源方式为内起源。八角莲离体再生途径为器官发生型,在组培苗生长过程中先诱导形成不定芽,再诱导形成不定根,在愈伤组织上形成维管组织将不定芽和不定根连接成完整植株。     

侧柏扦插不定根发生模式研究

该研究以侧柏一年生硬枝插穗为实验材料,利用连续组织切片技术观察插穗不定根发生发育过程中的组织结构变化,分析插穗外部形态变化、不定根原基起源和不定根的形成过程,探讨侧柏插穗不定根发生模式和不定根的组织学起源。结果显示:侧柏扦插后可由愈伤组织、皮部诱导产生不定根,出现皮部生根、愈伤组织生根、愈伤组织兼具皮部生根3种类型;侧柏插穗中存在少量潜伏根原基,但插穗生根类型以诱导生根为主;不定根原基诱导产生于愈伤组织、木质部、形成层及次生韧皮部等部位。研究认为侧柏扦插生根属于多位点发生模式,不定根原基的组织学起源是愈伤组织、髓射线、射线原始细胞、尚未分化成熟的木质部细胞,通过人工诱导同时激活这些不定根起源位点能够显著提高生根率和生根质量。     

欧美杂种山杨微扦插不定根发生过程的解剖学研究

采用石蜡切片技术,以欧美杂种山杨插穗基部茎段为实验材料,连续解剖观察插穗不定根发生发育过程,分析根原基发生部位与扦插生根的关系。结果显示:欧美杂种山杨插穗不定根的发生过程分为4个时期,为根原基诱导期,不定根起始期、表达期和伸长生长期。根原基诱导期维管形成层产生具有分生组织特点的薄壁细胞;不定根起始期,维管形成层及附近的薄壁细胞脱分化,形成不定根原基发端细胞;不定根表达期,根原基发端细胞不断分裂成具有方向性的根原基,根原基穿过韧皮射线和皮层,向皮孔方向发展;不定根伸长生长期,根原基从皮孔伸出,其内部的维管系统开始发育,形成不定根。研究认为,欧美杂种山杨为皮部诱导生根类型,不定根原基起源于维管形成层区,起源部位单一,扦插难生根。     

Histological study of initiation and development in vitro of adventitious roots in minicuttings of apple rootstocks of M 26 and EMLA 9

Apple rootstocks M 26 and EMLA 9 'COST' shoots propagated in vitro were used for the histological study of initiation and development of adventitious roots after a brief induction pretreatment. The results show that there are differences in mode and timing of initiation and development of adventitious roots between the two varieties. In M 26, adventitious roots were directly initiated from the derivatives of the cambium, some of which were immediately transformed into meristemoids in situ 36 h after pretreatment. Subsequently, meristemoids differentiated into root primordia. Development of adventitious roots were completed when they emerged at the surface of stem bases 10 days after pretreatment. In EMLA 9, before the meristemoids formed, internal cell files were formed by continuous divisions of cambial cells. The cells were regularly arranged in files external to the cambium. On the fourth day after pretreatment, some cells in the outermost layers of these files became meristematic, started to divide and turned into meristemoids, which differentiated into root primordia. The cells of the files between the root primordium and the cambium were transformed into vascular tissues which connected the vascular systems of the adventitious roots and stems.     

番茄离体培养过程中器官发生的细胞组织学观察

对番茄下胚轴、子叶、茎段、叶片、叶柄不同类型外植体离体培养中有关细胞启动、分裂、分化以及器官发生作了细胞组织学观察。研究结果表明番茄不同类型外植体在同样的培养条件下,愈伤组织生长表现出明显差异,其中下胚轴、子叶诱导产生愈伤组织时,细胞启动最早,生长最快,其分裂方式基本为无丝分裂,未见有丝分裂,因此我们认为以不定芽方式获得转基因植株时,植株的所有性状变化,是否纯属目的基因所为,应该反复考察,不能忽视不定芽产生过程中的种种变化;下胚轴诱导愈伤组织形成时,细胞不规则的无丝分裂少于子叶,故下胚轴离体培养得到的正常芽的比例高于子叶的;番茄离体培养中不定芽通常发生在愈伤组织的周边区,也可起源于维管组织结节周围的形成层状细胞。不定根则由茎中柱鞘处发生。     

Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis of Elymus sibiricus cv. ‘chuancao No. 2’

The mature seeds, mesocotyls, and young leaf tips of Elymus sibiricus L. cv. ‘chuancao No. 2’ were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 5.0 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d) and 0.05 mg/L kinetin in the dark at 26°C, the calluses were produced. The rate of callus regeneration depended on the explants source and plant growth regulators. Plants regenerated from whitish-yellow-coloured compact nodular callus formed after subculturing for 8 weeks. Higher frequency (54%) of shoot differentiation was obtained from the embryo tissues of mature seed than from either mesocotyls (24%) or young leaf tip tissues (6%) when these calluses from different types of explants were cultured on plant regeneration medium containing half strength MS salts supplemented with 0.1 mg/L kinetin, 1.5 mg/L 2,4-D and 20 g/L sucrose. The green plants were rooted within 6 weeks in the root regeneration medium, and over 97% of these soil-established plants were obtained in the greenhouse when potted in a sand and peat mixture medium.     

灰叶胡杨根蘖繁殖的形态解剖学特征

利用常规石蜡切片法对灰叶胡杨(Populus pruinosa)根蘖繁殖特性进行形态解剖学研究。结果表明: 灰叶胡杨横走侧根由周皮、次生维管组织和四原型的初生木质部构成, 具有次生维管组织中维管射线、次生韧皮薄壁组织发达的结构特征。灰叶胡杨的根蘖繁殖源于横走侧根上不定芽的发生及生长发育。不定芽起源于横走侧根的木栓形成层, 木栓形成层经细胞分裂活动形成不定芽原基, 不定芽原基细胞分裂和生长分化形成在横走侧根表面可观察到的不定芽, 进而生长发育为根蘖苗。不定芽的发生具有同步或非同步的时间特征和单点或多点聚集的空间分布特点, 在生长发育过程中其基部可以产生新的不定芽。不定芽发生、分布和生长特点是根蘖苗大小不一、密集丛生的内在原因, 表明灰叶胡杨具有较强的根蘖繁殖能力。     

The integration of growth activity in vegetatively propagated poplar during the establishment year

On rooting the poplar stem cutting, the growth processes are coordinated so as to ensure optimum development of the new, vegetatively acquired individual. At first, adventitious roots develop on the cutting from latent root primordia. A part of them is short-lived, but in the meantime other, the so-called wound adventitious roots initiate from the callus on the lower cut surface of the cutting, which complement the permanent root system. In this way, conditions are prepared for a rapid growth and development of the stem, which forms from the upper bud on the cutting. The action of apical meristems providing the elongation of the stem and root, is followed by the action of vascular cambium. By the radial growth of organs controlled by cambium, the capacity of substance transport increases relatively to progressing development of the new plant. In the buried stem cutting cambium is the first to start functioning. Its reactivation is slow, discontinuous, and at the beginning it depends on local stimulating sources of the cutting itself. It was observed for the first time that, in addition to expanding buds, activated root primordia are also such sources of stimuli. The overall induction of cambial activity in the cutting occurs only in the period of rapid growth and development of the new stem, which thus becomes the main source of factors controlling the cambial activity of the cutting. In comparison with the growth of stem and cutting, the radial growth of adventitious roots is limited and there are considerable differences in the thickness of radial increments between individual roots.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">In vitro</Emphasis> regeneration of Persian poppy (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Papaver bracteatum</Emphasis>)

Persian poppy (Papaver bracteatum Lindl.) is an important commercial source of medicinal opiates and related compounds. In this research, calli were induced from seeds, roots, cotyledons and hypocotyls of P. bracteatum at a high efficiency. The optimized callus induction media consisted of the Murashige and Skoog (MS) basic media supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 0.1 mg/L kinetin and 15 mg/L ascorbic acid. The concentrations of 2,4-D and ascorbic acid were found critical to callus induction and proliferation. Subsequent subcultures resulted in excellent callus proliferation. Ascorbic acid at concentration 15 mg/L increased the callus proliferation significantly. Maximum callus growth was achieved when the explants were incubated at 25°C. MS salts at full strength were found inhibitory for callus induction, while ľ MS salts were found to favor callus induction. Shoot regeneration of calli in vitro was achieved on ľ MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L benzylamine purine and 1.0 mg/L naphthalene acetic acid. Analysis of alkaloid extracts from Persian poppy tissues by high-performance liquid chromatography showed that thebaine accumulated in the tissues of plants. The thebaine alkaloid profile of the Persian poppy is a well-defined model to evaluate the potential for metabolic engineering of thebaine production in P. bracteatum.     

贯叶金丝桃组织培养的研究

分别以甘肃天水贯叶金丝桃的幼根、幼茎、幼叶为外植体．在1／2MS培养基上附加各类激素,进行贯叶金丝桃的组培实验。研究发现各外植体的增殖速率由高到低分别为幼茎、幼根、幼叶,且得到贯叶金丝桃组培各阶段的最佳培养基成分。诱导愈伤组织的培养基为1／2MS 1．3～1．6mg／L BA 0．2mg／L NAA;培养基1／2MS 1．3～1．6mg／L BA 0．15mg／L NAA有利于不定芽的形成;诱导不定根的培养基为l／2MS IBA0．5～O．8mg／L 蔗糖2．0％。向1／2MS培养基中添加不同的生长素(IAA,IBA,NAA,2．4-D)．在不同浓度梯度的培养基上进行诱导贯叶金丝桃的愈伤组织及不定根的试验,结果表明：生长素IAA,IBA既可诱导愈伤组织,又可以诱导不定根的产生。生长素NAA,2,4-D可诱导产生愈伤组织,但对不定根的诱导作用较差。     

Genotypic variability for callus formation and plant regeneration in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Summary Sixty rice varieties (Oryza sativa L.), belonging to three subspecies, japonica, indica and javanica (some japonicaXindica hybrids were included), were compared for their capacity for callus growth and plant regeneration. Tissue cultures initiated from mature seeds on Murashige and Skoog's (1962) medium with 2 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) were transferred to a medium containing 0.02 mg/l 2,4-D and 10 mg/l kinetin, from which plantlets were regenerated. Large variabilities in callus growth and plant regeneration potentials were revealed among the varieties tested. Most japonica varieties formed a callus that weighed more than 100 mg per seed 30 days after inoculation, and showed a relatively high regenerative potential, whereas indica varieties, japonica-indica hybrids and javanica varieties showed poor callus growth and plant regeneration, although considerable varietal variation was observed in each subspecies. The callus growth potential was not correlated with the plant regeneration potential. Histological observations revealed that the epithelium cells of the scutellum mainly proliferated to form a callus, from which shoot and root primordia were differentiated independently from each other. The shoot primordia developed into plantlets when roots were formed adventitiously. In a few cases, shoots and roots were bilaterally initiated from a single primordium.     

Micropropagation ofActinidia polygama from fruit galls

Callus was induced from the fruit galls of Actinidia polygama on the B5 medium supplemented with NAA, BA and kinetin (1 mg l⁻¹ each). When the callus was subcultured on the same medium 3 times, shoot primordia and adventitious roots appeared on the surface of the callus. Shoots subcultured on growth regulator free MS medium or supplemented with NAA (1 mg l⁻¹) formed roots. Chromosome numbers in the root tip of regenerated plantlets were determined as 2n=58, which was the same as that of the mother plants. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Somatic embryogenesis from leaf derived callus of Tylophora indica (Burm. f.) Merrill

Mature leaf explant derived callus of Tylophora indica (Burm. f.) Merrill yielded somatic embryos on MS medium supplied with BA(1-2 mg/L) or kinetin(1-5 mg/L) or kinetin/BA (1-2 mg/L) used along with IAA(0.1-1 mg/L). Maximum somatic embryos (30) could be recovered from 100 mg of embryogenic callus within 60 days at an optimum concentration of 2 mg/L of BA which was also best suited for providing the maximum conversion rate (90%) of embryoids to plantlets. Kinetin (1-5 mg/L), used as the sole growth hormone, induced the development of embryoids showing either shoot or root primordia in 30% of the cultures. However, embryoids with shoot primordia developed roots upon transfer to medium containing IAA(0.1 mg/L) and kinetin(2 mg/L). Embryoids from all cultures germinated in the initiation medium and were transplanted to sterile vermiculite for hardening. After two weeks of hardening, the plantlets were transferred to the green house where they grew and established well showing a high rate of survival (90%).     

Structure and development of adventitious roots in Salix caprea and S. caprea × S. viminalis

Formation and structure of adventitious roots in cuttings of two clones of S. caprea and a hybrid betwen S. caprea and 5. viminalis was studied with light microscopy (LM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The hybrid contained large preformed root primordia, which in cuttings placed in water developed into roots in only three days. One of the S. caprea clones contained minute preformed root primordia, which developed into roots in about eight days. Treatment with indolebutyric acid (IBA) increased the percentage of rooted cuttings and the number of roots formed. Roots emerging from IBA-treated cuttings contained both mature protophloem and protoxylem, while in roots of untreated cuttings only some sieve elements of the protophloem were mature. In the other 5. caprea clone no preformed root primordia were detected, but after treatment with IBA roots appeared in about two weeks. The cambium in treated stems produced a large number of cells, most of which differentiated into xylem. Root primordia were initiated in the newly produced tissue external to the cambium. The roots contained both mature protophloem and protoxylem at emergence. A few roots emerged also from extensive callus tissues formed external to the basal end of the cuttings. Cell enlargement and cell divisions in various parts of the base of the cuttings caused disruption of the peripheral tissues, which made the cuttings susceptible to infection by microorganisms.     

金塔柏扦插不定根形成与内源激素的调控研究

金塔柏（Platycladus orientalis ‘Beverleyensis’）是重要的观赏树种。生长素（IAA）、玉米素（ZT）、脱落酸（ABA）和茉莉酸（JA）在金塔柏扦插不定根再生过程中起着重要的调控作用,但不同发育阶段内源激素的动态变化及其对不定根发生的影响仍不清楚。以金塔柏半木质化枝条为材料,采用连续组织切片技术观察了不定根发生过程,利用高效液相色谱串联质谱法检测了4种内源激素含量的动态变化。结果表明,金塔柏不定根原基起源于愈伤组织、髓射线、木质部、维管形成层、次生韧皮部、皮层、髓射线与形成层交界处等部位,属于多位点发生模式和多类型生根方式。在不定根形成过程中,随着愈伤组织的形成,IAA和ZT含量下降,ABA和JA含量升高;随着根原基的分化,IAA和ZT含量缓慢升高,ABA和JA含量下降;随着不定根形成与伸长,IAA、ZT、JA逐渐升高,ABA维持在低水平。激素平衡分析发现,IAA/ABA比值和IAA/JA比值下降、IAA/ZT比值上升利于愈伤组织的形成,反之利于根原基的诱导分化,而IAA/ABA比值升高,IAA/ZT和IAA/JA维持在较低水平利于不定根形成与伸长。研究结果为揭示不同内源激素对金塔柏扦插不定根再生的调节作用提供了依据。     

Effects of cytokinin on adventitious root formation in callus cultures ofVigna unguiculata (L.) walp

Summary Yellowish compact callus, induced from cowpea hypocotyls on Murashige and Skoog(MS) medium (1962) containing 0.2 mg/l(0.93 μM) kinetin and 0.4 mg/l (1.81 μM) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), was subcultured on MS medium containing cytokinin alone, auxin alone, or auxins plus cytokinins in order to determine the effect of cytokinins on root organogenesis in callus cultures. The callus actively proliferated on the same medium but did not show any organogenic activity macroscopically as well as microscopically. On medium with N⁶-benzyladenine (BA) and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), the yellowish compact callus first changed to pale green compact callus and then many green spots appeared on its surface under light culture. But the yellowsih compact callus remained yellowish and white spots appeared on its surface in dark culture. These spots gradually became white nodular structures. Adventitious root formation from the nodular structures occurred not only on the same medium, but also on medium with either auxin or cytokinin but not both. Yellowish compact callus on medium with auxin alone was transformed to yellowish friable callus, which did not develop adventitious roots. The yellowish friable callus could gain rhizogenic activity only after morphological modification to pale green compact callus on medium with auxin plus cytokinin. The modified callus did not form adventitious roots on medium with auxins but only with cytokinins. Therefore, it is suggested that cytokinins have stimulating effects on root formation from callus that previously did not show rhizogenic activity on medium with auxins alone. In addition, the rhizogenic potential of cowpea callus was discriminated from that of leaf explants, which formed adventitious roots directly on medium with auxin alone.     

Morpho-Histological Investigation of Plantlet Formation In Vitro in Taiwania flousiana Gaussen

Histological events during adventitious shoot formation in cultured shoot apex of 10–12-day-old seedlings and adventitious root formation in the elongated shoot of Taiwania floudana Gaussen were examined. Ceils of the peripheral subsurface layers of the shoot apex responded to cytokinin and divided into meristematic cells from which the shoot primordia were proliferated. A few bud primordia also originated from the epidermis and hypodermis of the adaxial surface of the cotyledon. The parenchyma of leaf gap of the shoots cultured in rooting medium dedifferentiated to regain the capacity of division and form adventitious root. Besides, cells that had relatively low potential of differentiation, such as the cortex parenchyma, pith ray, phloem parenchyma and cambium zone, albeit initiated to divide, but seldom formed root primordium. The origin of the adventitious roots in the leaf gap facilitated the establishment of the vascular connection between the shoot and root.
