在1/3海水培养基上筛选豆瓣菜耐盐变异体

The responses of stem segments of watercress ( Nasturtium offtcinale R. Br. ) to 6-BA, NAA and 2,4-D were studied. MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L 6-BA, 0.2 mg/L 2,4-D was used for callus initiation and maintainance. MS medium supplemented with 4.0 mg/L 6-BA was suitable for plant regeneration and MS medium without plant hormone supplement was used for rooting and plant propagation. For screening of salt. tolerant calli, stem segments of watercress were plated onto callus initiation medium containing 1/3 natural seawater. Seventeen out of the 325 plated explants produced calli. The growth curves demonstrated that the growth rate of salt-tolerant calli on saline medium almost matched that of the control calli on normal medium. Some of the salt-tolerant calli were transferred to the normal regeneration medium or saline regeneration medium to induce plant regeneration. In the first case, buds and shoots were regenerated in the same way as those of control calli on normal regeneration medium. More than 1 000 regenerated shoots were obtained of which 83 regenerated shoots were cut and transferred to saline MS base medium. At first, all shoot growth was inhibited, but 40 days after the transfer, rapid-growing axillary shoots were observed on 16 of the original shoots but none on the control shoots on saline MS base medium. Moreover, green spots appeared on most calli 10 days after they were transferred to saline medium, however buds appeared only on 5 calli from the 30 transferred calli and at the end only 2 rapid-growing shoots were obtained from two calli. In total, 18 variant lines were obtained through propagation of the salt-tolerant shoots on saline MS base medium. RAPD analysis was performed in 10 of the 18 salt-tolerant variant lines and DNA variation was detected in all the tested variant lines.     

Application of activated charcoal and nanocarbon to callus induction and plant regeneration in aromatic rice (Oryza sativa L.)

The investigations of nanotechnology with the application on agricultural products also have been few reported, especially the plant regeneration. The effects of activated charcoal and nanocarbon on the callus induction and plant regeneration of aromatic rice were studied. Activated charcoal was added into the callus induction and regeneration medium. The presence of activated charcoal in the callus induction medium (100–500 mg L^?1), activated charcoal significantly reduced the percentage of the callus induction and biomass accumulation (fresh weight, dry weight and size). Whereas, the regeneration medium supplemented with 100 mg L^?1 of activated charcoal showed the highest percentage of plant regeneration (61.90%) and the ratio of the number of seedlings to the number of regenerated calli (RSR; 3.06) that derived from the callus induction medium (without activated charcoal). Moreover, the induced calli derived from the callus induction medium supplemented with nanocarbon at 5 mg L^?1 showed the highest percentage of callus induction (94.70%), the percentage of green spots (95.83%), the percentage of plant regeneration (60.42%) and the RSR (3.12) when transferred the calli into the regeneration medium (without nanocarbon). After that, nanocarbon was also added into the regeneration medium. The percentage of green spots (96.08%), the percentage of plant regeneration (62.75%) and the RSR (3.16) obtained from the regeneration medium supplemented with 20 mg L^?1 of nanocarbon showed the highest values. This experiment showed that the optimum concentration of activated charcoal and nanocarbon had potential to enhance the callus induction and plant regeneration frequencies in tissue culture medium of aromatic rice.     

Production of haploids of neem (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Azadirachta indica</Emphasis> A. Juss.) by anther culture

Androgenic haploids of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) were produced by anther culture at the early- to late-uninucleate stage of pollen. Haploid formation occurred via callusing. The best medium for inducing callusing in the anther cultures was Murashige and Skoog's basal medium (MS) (9% sucrose) supplemented with 1 microM 2,4-D, 1 microM NAA and 5 microM BAP, while anther callus multiplied best on MS medium supplemented with 1 microM 2,4-D and 10 microM Kn. These calli differentiated shoots when transferred to a medium containing BAP; 5 microM BAP was optimum for young calli (75% cultures differentiated shoots), but older calli showed the best regeneration with 7.5 microM BAP. Shoots elongated at a lower concentration of BAP-0.5 microM. These shoots were multiplied by forced axillary branching and rooted in vitro. The plants were subsequently established in soil. Of the plants that regenerated from anther callus 60% were haploid, 20% were diploid and 20% were aneuploid.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">In vitro</Emphasis> organogenesis and antioxidant enzymes activity in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Acanthophyllum sordidum</Emphasis>

The effect of various hormonal combinations on callus formation and regeneration of shoot and root from leaf derived callus of Acanthophyllum sordidum Bunge ex Boiss. has been studied. Proteins and activity of antioxidant enzymes were also evaluated during shoot and root organogenesis from callus. Calli were induced from leaf explants excised from 30-d-old seedlings grown on Murashige and Skoog medium containing 4.52 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid + 4.65 μM kinetin. Maximum growth of calli and the most efficient regeneration of shoots and roots occurred with 2.69 μM 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 2.69 μM NAA + 4.54 μM thidiazuron and 2.46 μM indole-3-butyric acid. Protein content decreased in calli and increased significantly during regeneration of shoots from callus. Superoxide dismutase activity decreased in calli comparing to that of seedlings, then increased in regenerated shoots and roots. High catalase activity was detected in seedlings and regenerated shoots, whereas high peroxidase activity was observed in calli and regenerated roots.     

Plant regeneration from protoplasts isolated from a predominantly haploid suspension culture of Datura innoxia (Mill.)

A predominantly haploid, approx. 57%, suspension culture of Datura innoxia was obtained and conditions for the isolation, culture and regeneration to shoots of protoplasts from these cells are described.Chromosome counts of protoplast-derived cultures showed that no haploids were present among 15 regenerated shoots, and only 3 of 30 calli contained any haploid tissue. Approx. 9.5% of mitoses examined in a protoplast-derived suspension culture were haploid.The presence of haploid sets of diplochromosomes in the early divisions of protoplasts suggests that endomitosis may be one cause for the observed ploidy increase.     

Callus Induction and Plant Regeneration from Barley Mature Embryos

Callus cultures were induced starting from excised mature embryosin spring barley, Hordeum vulgare cv Maxima On a medium containinga high level of auxin, a first primary callus was induced whichwas friable, unorganized and capable of direct plant regenerationin the tested conditions This callus type was characterizedby fast growth and high variability in chromosome number Subsequently,a secondary callus type arose from the primary calli subculturedon the same medium in the light This callus type was white andcompact and consisted predominantly of diploid cells When transferredto hormone-free medium it gave rise to green shoots Completerooting of the shoots was achieved on half-strength basal mediumfollowed by exposure to higher light intensity Regenerated plantletscould then be transferred directly into soil without sufferingany loss in vitality Although showing different degrees in morphologicalvariability, they all maintained the diploid chromosome number Hordeum vulgare L, spring barley, morphogenic calli, organogenesis     

Tissue culture and plant regeneration from immature embryo explants of Barley,Hordeum vulgare

Summary Immature embryo explants taken 8 days after anthesis were used to establish callus cultures of spring barley. Two types of calli were observed. A soft, watery callus produced a limited number of shoots and a harder, more compact, yellowish callus gave rise to numerous green primordia and shoots. Gamborg's B5 basal medium supplemented with either 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) or Cl₃ POP (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxypropionic acid) was found to give good callus growth and shoot initiation. Media containing 2,4-D at 1.0 mg L^–1 or Cl₃ POP at 5.0 mg L^–1 produced numerous cultures resulting in regeneration of plants. Plantlets developed roots on basal medium with Cl₃ POP at 1.0 mg L^–1 or on auxin-free medium. Twenty genetically diverse genotypes were screened to determine if these techniques were suitable for a wide range of spring barley cultivars. Regeneration of plantlets was obtained for 19 of the 20 genotypes approximately 4 months after culture initiation. Lines differed in the ability to develop vigorously growing calli and in the ability of calli to develop large numbers of shoots and regenerated plantlets.Contribution from Department of Crop Science, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331.

Stimulatory Effect of Partial Desiccation on Plant Regeneration in Indica Rice (Oryza sativa L)

A simple in vitro protocol was established for high frequency plant regeneration via organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis from the callus cultures derived from immature inflorescence segments of indica rice (Oryza sativa L cvs Safari-17 and Kasturi). Embryogenic and nodular calli were initiated on MSB medium supplemented with 2, 4-D and sucrose (3.0%, w/v). Somatic embryogenesis occurred after transfer of embryogenic calli to MSB medium containing 2.25 μM 2,4-D, 2.2 μM BAP, 2.9 μM thiamine HCl and 244.86 μM L-tryptophan. Plantlet/shoot regeneration occurred after transfer of embryogenic calli to MSB medium containing 17.6 μM BAP and 1.12 μM 2,4-D. Partial desiccation (up to 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h) of embryogenic calli prior to transfer to regeneration medium stimulated regeneration frequency. Highly significant (P<0.001) difference was observed for regeneration frequency and average number of plantlets/shoots regenerated per callus in partially desiccated calli in comparison to non-dehydrated calli. Regeneration frequency increased from 33.3% to 80% after 24 h of desiccation treatment to callus cultures of cv. Safari-17, and from 46.7% to 93.3% after 48 h of desiccation treatment to callus tissues of cv. Kasturi. Regenerated shoots were rooted on MSB medium supplemented with 4.9 μM IBA. Plants with well-developed roots were transferred to pots where they grew well and attained maturity.     

Comparison of 2,4-D and picloram for selection of long-term totipotent green callus cultures of sugarcane

Long-term regeneration of sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid and Saccharum spontaneum L.) callus cultures was achieved by selection of green callus on MS agar medium containing 0.5 mgl^-1 picloram or 2,4-D. Newly initiated sugarcane callus cultures were a complex mixture of different tissue types including white, nonregenerative and green, regenerative tissues. The proportion of the tissue types changed as a function of time in culture, genotype, and amount and kind of auxin. Green callus on picloram media always regenerated green plants. Nine hybrids and ten wild relatives of sugarcane produced green calli on picloram media whereas only three hybrids were grown as green calli on 2,4-D media in long-term culture. Green calli were inoculated into liquid MS medium with 0.5 mgl^-1 picloram for suspension culture. These cultures were totipotent after 19 months. For routine culture, we initiated callus cultures on modified MS medium with 3 mgl^-1 2,4-D, then in two to three weeks we subcultured callus on MS medium with 0.5 mgl^-1 picloram and selected for green callus. Green calli regenerated large numbers of green plants after more than four years.     

High-frequency plant regeneration through callus initiation from mature embryos of maize (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Zea Mays</Emphasis> L.)

An efficient maize regeneration system was developed using mature embryos. Embryos were removed from surface-sterilized mature seeds and sliced into halves. They were used as explants to initiate callus on induction medium supplemented with 4.0 mg l^–1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The induction frequency of primary calli was over 90% for all inbred lines tested. The primary calli were then transferred onto subculture medium supplemented with 2.0 mg l^–1 2,4-D. Following two biweekly subcultures, embryogenic calli were formed. Inclusion of a low concentration (0.2 mg l^–1) of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) in the subculture medium significantly promoted the formation of embryogenic callus. The addition of silver nitrate (10 mg l^–1) also supported an increased frequency of embryogenesis. The embryogenic callus readily formed plantlets on regeneration medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l^–1 BA. The regenerated plantlets were transferred to half-strength Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 0.6 mg l^–1 indole-3-butyric acid to develop healthy roots. The regenerated plantlets were successful on transfer to soil and set seed. Using this system, plantlets were regenerated from seven elite maize inbred lines. The frequency of forming green shoots ranged from 19.8% to 32.4%. This efficient regeneration system provides a solid basis for genetic transformation of maize.Abbreviations BA 6-Benzylaminopurine - 2,4-D 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - IBA Indole-3-butyric acid - KT KinetinCommunicated by M.C.

Efficient production of doubled haploid plants through colchicine treatment of anther-derived maize callus

Summary A chromosome doubling technique, involving colchicine treatment of an embryogenic, haploid callus line of maize (Zea mays L., derived through anther culture), was evaluated. Two colchicine levels (0.025% and 0.05%) and three treatment durations (24, 48, and 72 h) were used and compared to untreated controls. Chromosome counts and seed recovery from regenerated plants were determined. No doubled haploid plants were regenerated from calli without colchicine treatment. After treatment with colchicine for 24 h, the callus tissue regenerated about 50% doubled haploid plants. All of the plants regenerated from the calli treated with colchicine for 72 h were doubled haploids, except for a few tetraploid plants. No significant difference in chromosome doubling was observed between the two colchicine levels. Most of the doubled haploid plants produced viable pollen and a total of 107 of 136 doubled haploid plants produced from 1 to 256 seeds. Less extensive studies with two other genotypes gave similar results. These results demonstrate that colchicine treatment of haploid callus tissue can be a very effective and relatively easy method of obtaining a high frequency of doubled haploid plants through anther culture.     

Callus induction and plant regeneration from hypocotyl explants of the forage legume Astragalus adsurgens

An efficient procedure was developed for inducing callus and plant regeneration using hypocotyl segments of Astragalus adsurgens. The combinations and concentrations of different growth regulators were shown to be critical factors for both the frequency and the type of callus formation as well as for the potential of callus differentiation. Of the four morphologically distinct types of calli that were induced, a friable, yellow callus, i.e. type I, induced on MS medium supplemented with 9.0 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2.2 μM N⁶-benzylaminopurine (BA), and then transferred to MS medium containing 0.5 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid and 8.9 μM BA, exhibited the maximum frequency of shoot regeneration (75%). After regenerated shoots were transferred onto half-strength MS medium without growth regulators, they rooted and complete plants were obtained. Plantlet regeneration from callus cultures required 7–8 weeks. Received: 26 February 1997 / Revision received: 28 August 1997 / Accepted: 13 September 1997     

In vitro culture ofBellevalia romana (L.) Rchb.

Summary Bellevalia romana (L.) Rchb., a monocotyledonous plant characterized by few (2 n=2 x=8) and very large chromosomes, is a useful subject for studying developmental problemsin vitro. Cytological analysis of callus revealed that the majority of cells were diploid, but the remaining cells had aneuploid nuclei with a wide range of chromosome numbers, tetraploid and haploid nuclei. The frequency of aneuploid and polyploid cells was higher in callus grown in the presence of 2,4-D than in callus grown in NAA plus BAP. These nuclei seemed to increase with the duration of culture. The chromosome number distribution as determined by chromosome counts in calli at different culture times was confirmed by DNA cytophotometry. Chromosome number mosaicism (mixoploidy and aneusomaty) also occurred in all root apices of 9 out of 46 plantlets regenerated from callusvia adventitious shoots.     

Plant regeneration from leaf protoplasts of Brassica oleracea var. italica CV Green Comet broccoli

A procedure is described for regeneration of plants from leaf protoplasts of the hybrid broccoli cultivar, Green Comet (Brassica oleracea var italica). The totipotency of protoplasts isolated from plants regenerated from hypocotyl explants (GCR) was greater than that of protoplasts from plants grown directly from seed (GC). Using medium B developed by Pelletier et al (1983), division efficiencies greater than 70% were obtained in leaf protoplasts isolated from GCR. Approximately 1% of these protoplasts formed calli on solidified medium; 77% of the calli regenerated shoots. In contrast, protoplasts from seed-grown material showed a lower division efficiency (15–22%) and fewer protoplast-derived calli produced shoots. Some of the 178 protoplast-derived plants grown to maturity had variant phenotypes.Abbreviations NAA napthalene acetic acid - BA 6-benzylaminopurine - MES 1-morpholino-ethane sulfonate This work has been submitted by D.

Isolation and culture of protoplasts from the marine green algaMonostroma angicava

Protoplasts were isolated enzymatically from gametophytes of the marine green algaMonostroma angicava. The protoplasts regenerated in PES medium after gradual reduction of the osmoticum. Three types of developmental process were recognized in the protoplast regeneration: an original type, in which the protoplasts regenerated into leafy gametophytes; an apogamic type, in which they regenerated into sporophytes; a callus type, in which they regenerated into callus-like tissues. The resulting gametophytes and apogamic sporophytes became fertile in successive cultures.

Regenerative callus of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Dianthus</Emphasis> ‘Telstar Scarlet’ showing mixoploidy produce diploid plants

Highly regenerative callus was isolated from the base of adventitious shoots on cotyledon explants of Dianthus hybrida Telstar Scarlet cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg l⁻¹ TDZ and 0.1 mg l⁻¹ NAA. Flow cytometric analysis showed that cotyledon tissue is a mixture of diploid and tetraploid cells. Whereas the regenerative callus consisted of cells showing various ploidy levels of 2C to 16C, their regeneration ability was maintained as long as they were sub-cultured onto fresh media. More than 93% of regenerated shoots from the calluses were diploid. Only a few shoots were revealed as tetraploids and octoploids, suggesting that diploid cells had higher regeneration ability.
