细枝木麻黄离体培养过程中愈伤组织和再生芽的细胞组织学观察

为探讨细枝木麻黄(Casuarina cunninghamianaMiq.)愈伤组织分化过程的细胞组织学,对离体培养条件下的愈伤组织进行扫描电子显微镜和石蜡切片观察,分析愈伤组织的细胞分裂、分化以及芽再生的发生过程。结果表明,新鲜外植体培养于愈伤组织诱导培养基上,伤口处的薄壁细胞开始脱分化,培养1周后形成明显的愈伤组织;继续培养2周后,胚性愈伤组织形成,且表层细胞启动分化形成芽原基;培养4周,可肉眼观察到胚性芽原基,数量增多并逐渐分化形成不定芽;培养至第6周,生成不定芽,并大量增殖和分化。因此,细枝木麻黄是通过愈伤组织分化形成胚状体的途径进行植株再生的,为建立细枝木麻黄组织培养高效再生体系提供了理论依据。     

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。     

HISTOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF ADVENTITIOUS BUD FORMATION IN CULTURED DOUGLAS FIR COTYLEDON

Initiation of adventitious bud formation in vitro from Douglas fir cotyledons required both cytokinin and auxin at concentrations of 5 μM BAP and 5 nM NAA. Histological observations showed that these adventitious buds arose de novo from cells residing in hypodermal layers. Development of adventitious buds in culture was characterized by the sequential appearance of four anatomically distinguishable structures: 1) meristemoid, 2) bud primordium, 3) shoot apex with needle primordia, and 4) adventitious bud. The anatomical structure of tissue culture-produced buds was similar to that of vegetative buds produced on intact plants. Cultured cotyledons capable of producing adventitious buds (bud culture) were compared with bud-callus and callus cultures initiated by 5 μM BAP plus 5 μM NAA and 5μM NAA alone without BAP, respectively. Results showed that, during early stages of the culture period (i.e., prior to the appearance of meristemoid structure), cell division of bud culture was mainly located in hypodermal layers, whereas for the other culture types, bud-callus and callus cultures, cell division occurred randomly in all tissues.     

Another evidence for inhibitory effect of auxin in adventitious bud formation of decapitated flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) seedlings

Adventitious buds were formed on the hypocotyls of decapitated flax seedlings. Scanning electron and light microscopic examinations of hypocotyls showed that epidermal cells divided to produce meristematic spots from which several leaf primordia were formed. Between leaf primordia and the original vascular tissues of hypocotyls, new xylem cells were formed which connected them. About 10, 30 and 60% of adventitious buds were formed on upper, middle and basal parts of hypocotyls of decapitated seedlings, respectively. Removal of apical meristem together with longer hypocotyl zero to four cm long below the apical meristem) induced higher percentage of adventitious bud formation in the remaining hypocotyl. When the entire hypocotyl was cut into 16 segments (0.25 cm each) and these segments were cultured on MS medium containing 3% sucrose and 0.8% agar, adventitious buds were mainly formed in the lowest five segments. These results suggested that there was a gradient of inhibitory factor(s) from apical to basal part of hypocotyl with respect to adventitious bud formation. Auxin transport inhibitors, morphactin and TIBA induced adventitious bud formation on intact seedlings by suppressing the basipetal movement of auxin.     

Stem Apex Culture and Quality Improvement of Tubercles of Pinellia ternata

Formation of Plantlets was achieved when stem apex of Pinellia ternata Brier. Cultured in vitro on MS medium with KT 0. 5 mg/L + NAA 0.2 mg/L (MSI). With petioles of the plantlet as explants callus could be induced after cultured for a week on MS medium with 2, 4-D 2.0 mg/L + KT 0.5 mg/L (MSII). Calli were subcultured once in every month. After 3--4 months a kind of friable calli could be selected, from which the tubercles could be differentiate and the plantlets formed when transfered onto MSI. But before callus differentiation, a lot of roots were formed on callus. The plantlets could be produced directly from the petiole segment. It was found that the stem growing tip was always covered by the leaf primordium and the former leaf primordium was covered by the latter leaf primordium during the differentiation of the apical bud of tubercle. The frenquency of plantlet differentiation from callus and petioles was over 70%. The rate of regeneration of plantlet on liquid static culture was twice as much as that on solid culture. All plantlets grew well after being transfered into the plot. The fresh weight of tuber-plant was 103 % higher than that of control (cultivated plant come from tubers). The alkaloid content of tubers come from tuberplant was 0. 344%, that of control was 0. 203% and 0. 264% for the wild tuber.     

Developmental studies on the leaf and the extra-axillary bud ofHistiopteris incisa

Anatomical and developmental studies have been made ofHistiopteris incisa in order to obtain a reasonable interpretation of the so-called extra-axillary bud. Single, or rarely two extra-axillary buds arise on the lateral side of the petiolar base. The branch trace appears to depart from the basiscopic margin of the leaf trace. At the earliest stage of the leaf initiation, the leaf apical cell is cut off in one of the prismatic cells of the shoot apical meristem. The leaf apical cell, then, cuts off segments successively to form a well-defined group of derivatives. On the other hand, a well-recognized cell group called “outer neighboring cell group”,onc, is found adjacent to the abaxial boundary of the derivatives of the leaf apical cell. This group of cells does not originate directly in the mother cell of the leaf apical cell. The primordium of the extra-axillary bud is always initiated in the superficial pillar-shaped cell layer ofonc. The leaf primordium may consist of two parts, the distal part derived from the leaf apical cell and the basal part from the adjacent cells includingonc. These facts suggest that the extra-axillary bud is of foliar nature. This study was partly supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Encouragement of Young Scientists by the Ministry of Education of Japan; no. 374222 in 1978.     

Developmental study onHypolepis punctata (Thunb.) Mett.

The origins of the first and second petiolar buds ofHypolepis punctata were clarified in relation to the early development of the leaf primordium, which arises from a group of superficial cells of the shoot apical meristem. One of these superficial cells produces a two-sided leaf apical cell which subsequently cuts off segments to make a well-defined cell group, called here the leaf apical cell complex, on the distal part of the leaf primordium. Meanwhile, cells surrounding the leaf apical cell complex also divide frequently to form the basal part of the leaf primordium. Two groups of basal cells of the leaf primordium located on the abaxial and the adaxial sides initiate the first and the second petiolar buds, respectively. The initial cells are usually contiguous to the leaf apical cell complex, constructing the abaxial and adaxial flanks of the very young leaf primordium. However, the first petiolar bud sometimes develops from cells located farther from the leaf apical cell complex. These cells are derived from those originally situated in the peripheral region of the shoot apical meristem. This study was supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Encouragement of Young Scientists by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, of Japan No. 474322 in 1979.     

AXILLARY BUD DEVELOPMENT IN POPULUS DELTOIDES. I. ORIGIN AND EARLY ONTOGENY

Origin and early development of axillary buds on the apical shoot of a young Populus deltoides plant were investigated. The ontogenetic sequence of axillary buds extended from LPI –1 (Leaf Plastochron Index) near the apical bud base to LPI –11, the fifth primordium below the bud apex. Two original bud traces diverged from the central (C) trace of the axillant leaf and developed acropetally. During their acropetal traverse the original bud traces gave rise to three pairs of scale traces. All subsequent scale traces, and later the foliar traces, were derived by divergencies from the first two pairs of scale traces. Just before the bud vascular system separated from that of the main axis, a third pair of traces diverged from the original bud traces to vascularize the adaxial scale. Concomitantly, the original bud traces were inflected toward the main vascular cylinder where they developed acropetally and eventually merged with the left lateral trace of the leaf primordium situated three nodes above the axillant leaf; they did not participate in further vascularization of the bud. During early ontogeny a shell zone formed concurrent with initiation of the original bud traces and lay interjacent to them. The shell zone defined the position of the cleavage plane that formed between the axillary bud and the main axis. The axillary bud apex first appeared in the region bounded laterally by the original bud traces and adaxially by the shell zone. Following divergence of the main prophyll traces from the original bud traces, the apex assumed a new position intermediate to the prophyll traces. Ontogenetic development suggested that the axillary bud apex may have been initiated by the acropetally developing original bud traces under the influence of stimuli arising in more mature vegetative organs below.     

Source, etiolation and orientation of explants affect in vitro regeneration of Venus fly-trap (Dionaea muscipula)

In vitro culture of Venus fly-trap (Dionaea muscipula) was initiated using flower stalk explants. Activated charcoal was required for bud initiation, but omitted in the subculture of regenerated plantlets. Regenerated plants were subsequently used as explant source for investigations concerning effects of source of tissue, etiolation, orientation and illumination of leaf explants on plant regeneration. Etiolation of source plantlets increased the rate of regeneration from explants and decreased explant failure. Generally, adventitious buds developed at the adaxial side and proximal end of an explant. However, when explants were incubated in the dark, 20–30% of bud initiation occurred at the distal end. The site of shoot regeneration on a leaf explant was affected by both illumination and orientation of explants. Placing an explant adaxial side up resulted in the highest rate of regeneration. The most effective condition for plantlet regeneration was found with etiolated petioles incubated with the adaxial side facing the light.

Development of the epiphyllous inflorescence of Phyllonoma integerrima (Turcz.) Loes.: implications for comparative morphology*

The inflorescence primordium of Phyllonoma integerrima (Turcz.) Loes. is initiated on the adaxial side of the leaf primordium. At about the same time, a vegetative bud is formed at the base of the same leaf primordium. The vascular anatomy is the same in the fertile and sterile leaves, except that in the fertile leaf an inflorescence trace departs from the midvein of the leaf at the point where the inflorescence is inserted. Neither the inception nor the procambial supply of the inflorescence provide evidence of “congenital fusion”of inflorescence and leaf. It is also argued that the idea of an “adventitious”origin of the inflorescence is not useful in this case. Consequences for our conception of shoot construction are pointed out. It is argued that positional changes in the initiation of organs is an evolutionary process that may have remarkable effects on plant construction.

Developmental study onHypolepis punctata (Thunb.) Mett.

The third petiolar bud ofHypolepis punctata appears on the basiscopic lateral side of the petiole above the fairly developed first petiolar bud. This investigation clarified the fact that the third bud is formed neither by the activity of the meristem of the first bud nor by the meristem directly detached from the shoot apical meristem, but is initiated in the cells involved in the abaxial basal part of the elevated portion of the leaf primordium. Thus the third bud is of phyllogenous origin. This investigation further revealed that the cells to initiate the third bud are originally located in the abaxial side of the leaf apical cell complex like the cells to initiate the first bud, but are not incorporated into the meristem of the first. After the first, second and third petiolar buds have been initiated, they are carried up into fairly high regions on the petiolar base by the intercalary growth which occurs in the leaf base below the insertion level of the first and the second buds.

Adventitious buds ofdryopteris sparsa complex (dryopteridaceae): Developmental anatomy and systematic implication

Adventitious buds of theDryopteris sparsa complex were examined anatomically and taxonomically. While no buds are found inD. hayatae andD. sparsa, they occur inD. sabaei, D. yakusilvicola, and in putative hybrids of which one parent seems to beD. sabaei. The buds function as a means of vegetative reproduction in the species and hybrids. The buds arise as a pair on stipes of abortive leaves without lamina. InD. sabaei the youngest bud primordium observed consists of a small group of surface and subsurface meristematic cells surrounded by differentiated tissue cells, and the meristematic cells appear to be quiescent. As the bud primordia develop, the inner and then outer parenchymatous cells below the meristematic cells divide each into several small cells, among which the procambial strands are later differentiated to connect the bud primordium to the vascular strand of the leaf. The meristematic cells also undergo cell divisions, and the bud primordium becomes larger. A shoot organization of the bud primordium is later established. The bud-bearing, uniquely abortive leaves and delayed development of the buds support the taxonomic relationship of agamosporousD. yakusilvicola having been derived from hybridization betweenD. sabaei andD. sparsa.     

ORGANOGRAPHY,BRANCHING, AND THE PROBLEM OF LEAF VERSUS BUD DIFFERENTIATION IN THE VINING EPIPHYTIC FERN GENUS MICROGRAMMA

Investigation of the development and organography of the shoot systems of Microgramma vacciniifolia and M. squamulosa was undertaken for the purpose of determining: (1) the features of shoot growth that are responsible for the distinctive vining character of these epiphytic ferns; and (2) the mode of origin of branches and their contrast with leaf initiation. Shoots of both species are dorsiventral and plagiotropic (i.e., parallel to the substrate) in habit. Since the shoot apical meristem is radial in transectional symmetry, shoot dorsiventrality in Microgramma is a postgenital or secondary developmental event, and its inception is related to the initiation of lateral appendages. Leaves and buds arise in a distichous phyllotaxis and occupy opposite and alternating positions on the dorsal surfaces and flanks of the rhizome. Endogenous roots are initiated in two rows from the ventral surface of the stem, in the vicinity of the rhizome meristem; however, they do not emerge from the rhizome until some distance behind the tip and do not elongate until the region of substrate contact. We conclude that the vining nature of this fern rhizome is a result of precocious internodal elongation and the concomitant delay of leaf and bud expansion in the region of stem elongation. In addition, observation of branch origin confirms previous suggestions that branching in Microgramma is strictly lateral and extra-axillary and not a dichotomous derivative as proposed by some workers. Leaf and bud primordia differ not only in the nature of their respective vascular supplies but also in their actual course of initiation. In the case of the leaf, the primordium is precociously emergent and exhibits a lenticular apical cell at its summit when it is only one plastochron removed from the flanks of the apical meristem. By contrast, initials of the bud primordium divide less actively and remain in a sunken position for at least 5–6 plastochrons; only when the bud apex becomes expanded and emergent does a tetrahedral apical cell become recognizable at the tip of the bud promeristem. Because of the distinctive pattern of branch and leaf origin, as well as the lack of adventitious and phyllogenous origin of branch primordia, we suggest that the shoot of Microgramma is a useful test organism for the re-examination of the problem of leaf and bud determination in the ferns.

Efficient plant regeneration from leaves of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.): the influence of AgNO3 and genotype

Factors influencing reliable shoot regeneration from leaf explants of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) were examined. Addition of AgNO₃ to callus induction medium was significantly effective for shoot regeneration in all three genotypes initially tested. When 48 genotypes subsequently were surveyed, a large variation of shoot regenerability was observed, ranging from 100 to 0% in frequency of bud formation and from 7.5 to 0 in the number of buds per explant. A significant correlation (r=0.84) was observed between the frequency of bud formation and the number of buds per explant. The shoot regenerability from leaf explants was not related to that from cotyledonary explants (r=0.28). Histological observations showed that an organized structure developed from calluses produced at vascular bundle tissues after 7 days of culture on callus induction medium, and they developed shoot apical meristems one week after transfer onto shoot induction medium. Regenerated plantlets were obtained 2 months after the initiation of culture and they normally flowered and set seeds. No alterations of morphology or DNA contents were observed in regenerated plants and their S1 progenies.     

Preformation and neoformation in shoots of Nothofagus antarctica (G. Forster) Oerst. (Nothofagaceae) shrubs from northern Patagonia

The size (length and diameter) and number of leaf primordia of winter buds of Nothofagus antarctica (G. Forster) Oerst. shrubs were compared with the size and number of leaves of shoots derived from buds in equivalent positions. Buds developed in two successive years were compared in terms of size and number of leaf primordia. Bud size and the number of leaf primordia per bud were greater for distal than for proximally positioned buds. Shoots that developed in the five positions closest to the distal end of their parent shoots had significantly more leaves than more proximally positioned shoots of the same parent shoots. The positive relationship between the size of a shoot and that of its parent shoot was stronger for proximal than for distal positions on the parent shoots. For each bud position on the parent shoots there were differences in the number of leaf primordia per bud between consecutive years. The correlations between the number of leaf primordia per bud and bud size, bud position and parent shoot size varied between years. Only shoots produced close to the distal end of a parent shoot developed neoformed leaves; more proximal sibling shoots consisted entirely of preformed leaves. Leaf neoformation, a process usually linked with high shoot vigour in woody plants, seems to be widespread among the relatively small shoots developed in N. antarctica shrubs, which may relate to the species' opportunistic response to disturbance.     

小桐子的组织培养和植株再生

以小桐子（Jatropha curcas）的胚芽、子叶、下胚轴、叶柄、叶片和茎段作为外植体,用不同浓度的6-苄基腺嘌呤（6-BA）和α-萘乙酸（NAA）对其进行愈伤组织的诱导和植株再生的研究。结果表明：在MS培养基中加入5．0mg／L6-BA和1．0mg／LNAA对愈伤组织的诱导效果最好;加入5．0mg／L6-BA和0．1mg／LNAA对不定芽的诱导最为有效,加入0．1mg／L6-BA和1．0mg／LNAA有利于芽的生长;加入1．0mg／LNAA的1／2MS培养基对生根最为有利。     

Histo-Cytological Observations on Callus and Bud Formation in Cultures of Nicotiana tabacum L.

Leaf explants of tobacco were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/ l NAA and 0.5 mg/l BA for induction of callus formation, or supplemented with 2 mg/l BA for bud formation. Histocytological observations on callus and bud formation were carried out. Three days after cultivation, mesophyll cells enlarged, the nuclei became more apparent and dark stained, and starch accumulated in the cells. Cell divisions began in the mesophyll cells at the cut ends, in the palisade cells near the vascular bundles and in the vascular parenchyma. Mitotic activity then spreaded over tbc explants, and was most active at the edges of leaf explants. Regular rows of cells appeared as a result of series of transverse divisions in the palisade. The number of chloroplast in the mesophyll cells decreased and degenerated gradually. A number of meristemoids ware initiated in the cultured leaf explants after 7 days of cultivation. They were originated from two kinds of tissues, the mesophyll and vascular bundle, including the phloem parenchyma and vascular sheath. On the medium with NAA and BA, callus formation was induced with vigorous divisions, whereas bud primordia were differentiated from the meristomoids on the medimn with 2 mg/l BA. The buds were developed from both the superficial meristemoids and the meristematic regions deep within the callused leaf explants. The accumulated starch in the cells gradually disappeared as bud formation proceeded.
