Enhancement of growth and polysaccharide production in suspension cultures of protocorm-like bodies from Dendrobium huoshanense by the addition of putrescine

Putrescine at 0.6 mM stimulated protocorm-like body growth and polysaccharide synthesis in suspension cultures of Dendrobium huoshanense. The specific growth rate of protocorm-like body increased from 0.047 to 0.056 day⁻¹, and the maximum dry weight and polysaccharide production reached 33.2 and 2.94 g l⁻¹, respectively, while they were 24.6 and 2.12 g l⁻¹, respectively, in the control. The administration of polyamine inhibitor, α-dl-difluoromethylarginine, at 1 mM, decreased protocorm-like body growth and polysaccharide production to 21.4 and 1.76 g l⁻¹, respectively.     

Enhancement of polysaccharide production in suspension cultures of protocorm-like bodies from Dendrobium huoshanense by optimization of medium compositions and feeding of sucrose

A strategy that optimization of medium compositions for maximum biomass followed by feeding of sucrose for maximum polysaccharide synthesis was developed for enhancing polysaccharide production in suspension culture of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of Dendrobium huoshanense C.Z. Tang et S.J. Cheng. In growth stage, the original half-strength MS medium was optimized with carbon sources, nitrogen sources and metal ion combinations. The effects of different carbon sources on PLBs growth were remarkable and sucrose at 35 g l⁻¹ was the most suitable. Sole nitrate nitrogen of 30 mmol l⁻¹ was the best for PLBs growth. Metal ions (Ca²⁺, Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺ and Zn²⁺) showed different influences on PLBs growth. The optimal concentration of Ca²⁺, Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺ and Zn²⁺ was 4.5 mmol l⁻¹, 0.1 mmol l⁻¹, 0.5 mmol l⁻¹ and 0.06 mmol l⁻¹, respectively. In the optimized medium (sucrose, nitrate, Ca²⁺, Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺ and Zn²⁺ concentration as described above, the other component concentration seen in half-strength MS), 33.9 g DW l⁻¹ PLBs were harvested after 30 days of culture and biomass increase was improved 245% as compared with that in the original medium. In production stage, polysaccharide synthesis was significantly improved by the feeding sucrose. The maximum polysaccharide production (22 g l⁻¹) was obtained in the case of 50 g l⁻¹ sucrose feeding at day 30 of culture, which was about 109-fold higher than that in the original medium without feeding of sucrose.     

Effect of putrescine on the conversion of protocorm-like bodies of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Dendrobium officinale</Emphasis> to shoots

The addition of 1.5 mM putrescine to the culture medium facilitated the conversion of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of Dendrobium officinale to shoots. The administration of 1.0 mM of the polyamine inhibitor, α-DL-difluoromethylarginine, decreased the conversion of PLBs to shoots. Compared to the control, the PLBs treated with 1.5 mM putrescine had higher levels of total intracellular free polyamines. The enhanced conversion of PLBs to shoots following the addition of putrescine was accompanied by an increase in the ratio of total cytokinins (CTKs) to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Analysis of enzyme activities indicated that the increased endogenous level of total CTKs driven by putrescine was associated with the inhibition of CTK decomposition by CTK oxidase, while the decreased endogenous level of IAA was associated with the promotion of IAA decomposition by IAA oxidase. In addition, putrescine increased the ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione in the conversion process of PLBs to shoots.

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of protocorm-like bodies in Cymbidium

Genetically transformed plants of Cymbidium were regenerated after cocultivating protocorm-like bodies (PLB) with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA101 (pIG121Hm) that harbored genes for β-glucuronidase (gus), hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) and neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII). PLB of three genotypes maintained in liquid new Dogashima medium (NDM), were subjected to transformation experiments. The PLB inoculated with Agrobacterium produced secondary PLB, 4 weeks after transfer onto 2.5 g L⁻¹ gellan gum-solidified NDM containing 10 g L⁻¹ sucrose, 20 mg L⁻¹ hygromycin and 40 mg L⁻¹ meropenem. Transformation efficiency was affected by genotype and the presence of acetosyringone during cocultivation. The highest transformation efficiency was obtained when PLB from the genotype L4 were infected and cocultivated with Agrobacterium on medium containing 100 μM acetosyringone. Transformation of the hygromycin-resistant plantlets regenerated from different sites of inoculated PLB was confirmed by histochemical GUS assay, PCR analysis and Southern blot hybridization.

Comparison of metabolomics of Dendrobium officinale in different habitats by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS

Dendrobium officinale has been considered over past centuries to be extremely valuable for use as an herbal medicine in South Asian countries. In this work, the chemical profiles of D. officinale from different habitats were systematically characterized using ultra-performance liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and multivariate analysis. The principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminate analysis (PLS-DA) and orthogonal partial least squares analysis (OPLS-DA) of UPLC-Q-TOF-MS data displayed an obvious separation. Several flavonoids and terpenoids derivatives contribute to the quantitative chemotypic variation within and between the samples as observed. These findings lead to a better understanding of the phytochemical variation of D. officinale which can aid in quality control of raw material.     

Comparative study on the changes of proteins and oxidative enzymes occurring in protocorms and protocorm-like bodies systems of development in the orchid Dendrobium hookerianum

Proteins and activities of antioxidant enzymes, including polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POX) and catalase (CAT), were evaluated in Dendrobium hookerianum during different stages of development of both protocorms and protocorm-like bodies (PLB) derived from seeds and axillary buds, respectively. The changes in the protein contents and the enzyme activities along with their isozyme patterns were compared between these two culture systems. It was found that the protein contents and the enzyme activities increased steadily over time during different stages of development in both the systems. Protein contents (4.57 mg/g fresh wt.) and activities of POX (21.9 U/mg protein), CAT (9.86 U/mg protein) were observed to be higher in PLB system as compared to protocorm system at stage IV of development. However, although the PPO activity increased gradually till the third stage of development, a decline was observed at stage IV wherein the activity was recorded to be more or less same in both the systems. Also, few proteins (~61, 50, 46, 32, 25, 16, 6 kDa) and new isozymes (POX 7, 8; CAT 2) were expressed only in PLB system of development. In general, high protein content and enzyme activities were detected in PLB system as compared to protocorm system. The results of the present study indicate that few proteins and isozymes could be regarded as specific biochemical markers for different stages of development of this medicinally important orchid.     

Cryopreservation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Dendrobium candidum</Emphasis> Wall. ex Lindl. protocorm-like bodies by encapsulation-vitrification

Protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of Dendrobium candidum Wall. ex Lindl., orchid, were successfully cryopreserved using an encapsulation vitrification method. PLBs were precultured in liquid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0.2 mg l⁻¹ α-naphthalene acetic acid and 0.5 mg l⁻¹ 6-benzyladenine enriched with 0.75 M sucrose, and grown under continuous light (36 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹) at 25 ± 1°C for 5 days. PLBs were osmoprotected with a mixture of 2 M glycerol and 1 M sucrose for 80 min at 25°C and dripped in a 0.5 M CaCl₂ solution containing 0.5 M sucrose at 25 ± 1°C and left for 15 min to form Ca-alginate beads (about 4 mm in diameter). Then, these were dehydrated with a plant vitrification solution 2 (PVS₂) consisting of 30% (w/v) glycerol, 15% (w/v) ethylene glycol, and 15% (w/v) dimethyl sulfoxide in 0.5 M sucrose, pH 5.8, for 150 min at 0°C. Encapsulated and dehydrated PLBs were plunged directly into liquid nitrogen for 1 h. Cryopreserved PLBs were then rapidly re-warmed in a water bath at 40°C for 3 min and then washed with MS medium containing 1.2 M sucrose for three times at 10 min intervals. Within 60 days, plantlets with the cryopreserved PLBs developed normal shoots and roots, and without any observed morphological abnormalities, were obtained. The survival rate of encapsulated-vitrified PLBs was above 85%. Thus, this encapsulation-vitrification method was deemed promising for cryopreservation of PLBs of D. candidum.     

Propagation of three orchid genera using encapsulated protocorm-like bodies

Summary Protocorm-like bodies (plbs) of the orchid Dendrobium ‘Sonia’ were obtained from fractionated plb explants on Murashiga and Skoog (1962) medium (MS) supplemented with 4.44 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). The developmental stage of plbs to be encapsulated, concentrations of sodium alginate (2–5%) and calcium chloride (25–100 mM), and concentration of MS salts in the matrix were assessed. Fractionated plbs 13–15 d after culture were at the leaf primordia stage and found suitable for encapsulation studies. The best encapsulation response was observed with 3% sodium alginate upon complexation with 75 mM CaCl₂.2H₂O. An encapsulation matrix prepared with MS medium (three-quarter strength) supplemented with 0.44 μM BA and 0.54 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid gave 100% conversion of encapsulated plbs to plants after storage. A viability of >85% of encapsulated plbs of Dendrobium ‘Sonia’ was observed for 75 d at 4°C. Encapsulated plbs of orchids Dendrobium, Oncidium, and Cattleya were stored at 4°C for 75, 60 and 30 d, respectively, with >88% germination. All plants survived potting in media having either wood charcoal pieces alone or in combination with brick pieces.
