玉米胚性愈伤组织的长期继代及其染色体分析

对５种基因型幼胚诱导的愈伤组织继代培养表明,玉米胚性愈伤组织的长期继代受基因型,培养基成分,激素,培养条件的影响。适时继代,逐代筛选对胚性保持起重要作用。适当降低培养温度（１２±２℃）有利于愈伤组织的保存和胚性保持,可以减少愈伤组织长期继代所需的物质和工作量。长期继代培养的胚性愈伤组织,胚状体发生能力和植株再生率无显著变化,但正常苗的再生频率显著下降。观察愈伤组织细胞染色体发现：（１）基因型对不同倍性细胞的比例有明显影响。（２）随着继代时间的延长,二倍体细胞下降,四倍体和非二倍体细胞增多。（３）愈伤组织中出现多种染色体结构变异,这些结构变异有可能导致非整倍体细胞的形成。

Morphohistological analysis of the origin and development of somatic embryos from leaves of mature Quercus robur

Summary In oak species, there is paucity of information on the anatomical changes underlying differentiation of somatic embryos from explants of mature trees. A histological study was undertaken to ascertain the cellular origin and ontogenesis of somatic embryos in leaf cultures from a 100-yr-old Quercus robur tree. Somatic embryogenesis was induced in expanding leaves excised from shoots forced from branch segments, following culture on three successive media containing different concentrations of α-naphthaleneacetic acid and 6-benzylaminopurine. The somatic embryogenesis followed an indirect pathway from a callus tissue formed in the leaf lamina. After 4–6 wk of culture, meristematic cells originated in superficial layers of callus protuberances, but these cells evolved into differentiated vacuolated cells rather than embryos. A subsequent dedifferentiation into embryogenic cells occurred later (9–12 wk of culture) within a dissociating callus. Embryogenic cells exhibited dense protein-rich protoplasm, high nucleoplasmic ratio, and contained small starch grains. Successive divisions of these cells led to the formation of a few-celled proembryos and embryogenic cell clumps within a thick common cell wall, which seemed to have originated unicellularly. However, a multicellular origin of larger embryogenic clumps could not be dismissed; these gave rise to embryonic nodular structures that developed somatic embryos of both uni- and multicellular origin. Somatic embryos at successive stages of development, including cotyledonary-stage embryos with shoot and root meristems, were apparent.     

Developmental anatomy and ultrastructure of early somatic embryos in European black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.)

Summary Embryogenic callus cultures of European black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) were established on megagametophytes containing zygotic embryos in early developmental stage. In addition to many elongated cells and disorganized growing clumps they contained early somatic embryos at various stages of development. At all stages of embryogenesis the embryos were organized as bipolar structures. Cell pairs composed of one isodiametric cell with dense cytoplasm and a second large vacuolated cell were the simplest bipolar system. The vacuolated cell underwent senescence. The cytoplasm-rich cell and its derivates divided transversally, resulting in several cytoplasmic cells arranged in row. An early embryonal cylindrical mass was formed by longitudinal division of the cells in a filament. Proximally localized cells in the early embryonal mass became vacuolized and elongated gradually giving rise to the secondary suspensor. Distal cells remained cytoplasmic in character and formed an embryonal mass along the axis of long early somatic embryos. Differences in the proportion of organelles and heterochromatin clumps, thickness of cell walls and number of plasmodesmata between cells at various stages of early somatic embryogenesis were described.     

Regeneration of pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) plant through somatic embryogenesis

An efficient protocol for a complete plant regeneration by somatic embryogenesis was developed with Smooth Cayenne pineapple (Ananas comosus L.). Previous works showed that this species is responsive to somatic embryogenesis. In the present work the influence of components of culture medium in the induction, development and conversion of somatic embryos was investigate in order to establish a somatic embryogenesis protocol. Nodular callus (83.67%) was initiated from leaf explants of young plants on CIM₃ medium. The highest frequency (37.6%) of embryogenic callus induction was obtained from 4-week-old calluses on EIM₃ medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/l picloram. The highly organized callus induction and the development of somatic embryos were achieved after the transfer of callus clumps onto EIM₃ medium containing 1.0 mg/l BAP + 0.1 mg/l NAA. The frequency of somatic embryo formation was of 39.5?±?2.45 embryos per callus. Up to 97% of the somatic embryos were converted into complete plants within 4 week on MSB medium with 1.0 mg/l BAP + 0.05 mg/l GA₃ + 500 mg/l glutamine. The continuation of the elongation of the shoots occurred on this medium). Shoots obtained from all the above methods were rooted in MSB medium with activated charcoal. Complete plantlets were transferred onto specially made polyethylene bags containing soil mixture and transferred to the greenhouse. Survival rate of the plantlets under ex vitro conditions was 98% and maximum average number of plantlets (80?±?0.6). The well-developed plantlets were transferred to an open field where the plants produced normal fruits.     

Meiosis-like reduction during somatic embryogenesis of Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary Somatic meiosis-like reduction was observed in some cells of the embryogenic callus of Arabidopsis thaliana. Two types were identified. One type was somatic chromosome reductional grouping, in wich the chromesomes in a cell were separated direetly at either prophase or metaphase. Chromosome reductional grouping happened more frequently in polyploid cells, and the morphology of the chromosomes did not show the role of the spindle fibers. The other type was somatic meiosis which was analogous to the process of gametogenesis, characterized by the pairing and synapsis of homologous chromosomes. The roles of somatic meiosis-like reduction in somatic embryogenesis and somaclonal variations are discussed

黄山栾树无菌苗的节间和叶柄离体培养后,其体细胞胚发生的结果表明：节间愈伤组织可诱导产生体细胞胚,而叶柄愈伤组织则生根：节间愈伤组织诱导培养基为MS＋3．0mg．L～2,4．D＋0．5～3．0mg．L-1NAA;节间胚性愈伤组织诱导培养基为MS＋2．0nag．L-2,4-D;胚性愈伤组织转移到无植物生长调节剂的MS培养基上可发育成正常植株。组织学观察表明,体细胞胚在胚性愈伤组织中有的发生于愈伤组织表层细胞,有的发生在愈伤组织内部。黄山栾树体细胞胚的形成经历球形胚、心形胚、鱼雷胚和子叶胚几个阶段,这与合子胚的发育途径相似。     

An embryogenic cell suspension culture of Picea glauca (White spruce)

A cell suspension culture of Picea glauca (White spruce) which continuously produces somatic embryos has been established. Embryogenic callus derived from cultured zygotic embryos was used to initiate the culture. Numerous embryos at various early stages of development were recognized; they exhibited a meristematic embryonic region and suspensor consisting of elongate, vacuolated cells. The culture also contained clumps of meristematic cells and large irregular — shaped cells. The culture could be readily re-established on solid medium.     

Morphogenic events during indirect somatic embryogenesis in coffee “Catimor”

Summary The main goal of this research was to identify and describe the morphological and histological events during coffee somatic embryogenesis. Leaf sections of coffee Catimor (Coffea arabica CV. Red Caturra X hybrid of Timor) were cultivated in vitro on solid medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and benzyladenine. After 4 months, the calli produced were transferred to a medium containing naphthalene acetic acid. During the process of somatic embryogenesis, calli were sampled for histological observation. After four days of culture, the expiant produced a callus in the cut edges, where cell division occurred in the spongy parenchyma and in the perivascular parenchyma. After two months of culture, the first sign of organization within the growing callus was evidenced by the formation of densely stained cell groups appearing physically isolated, surrounded by thick cell walls. Two months later, proembryogenic clumps were formed by groups of dividing cells, unconnected to the callus. These cells were small, relatively isodiametric, with a dense cytoplasm, large nucleus, prominent nucleoli and thick cell walls. Afterwards, embryogenic calli formed somatic embryos going through the typical stages of development: globular, heart, and torpedo shapes. Histological observations revealed that the somatic embryos originated from a single cell, with dense cytoplasm, prominent nucleus and with signs of isolation evidenced by the presence of a thick cell wall.Abbreviations BAP 6-benzyladenine - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - NAA naphthalene acetic acid - SEM scanning electron microscopy

Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.)

Somatic embryos were initiated with mature seeds of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) when cultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with thidiazuron (TDZ). Regeneration occurred via somatic embryogenesis: direct embryo formation and through an intermediary callus phase. TDZ was very effective and induced somatic embryogenesis across a wide range of concentrations (1–50 μm). However, somatic embryogenesis was accompanied by callus formation at concentrations of 20 μm and above. Cell suspension cultures were established with the TDZ-induced callus and groups of large cell clumps were formed within 2–3 weeks. Plants were regenerated from both directly formed somatic embryos and somatic embryos derived from cell suspensions plated on semisolid medium devoid of growth regulators. Regenerated plantlets continued to grow after transfer to a greenhouse environment and were similar phenotypically to zygotic seedlings. This simple regeneration system may be beneficial for mass propagation of selected elite clones of neem. Received: 13 May 1997 / Revision received: 13 November 1997 / Accepted: 2 December 1997     

Label-Free Quantitative Proteomics of Embryogenic and Non-Embryogenic Callus during Sugarcane Somatic Embryogenesis

The development of somatic cells in to embryogenic cells occurs in several stages and ends in somatic embryo formation, though most of these biochemical and molecular changes have yet to be elucidated. Somatic embryogenesis coupled with genetic transformation could be a biotechnological tool to improve potential crop yields potential in sugarcane cultivars. The objective of this study was to observe somatic embryo development and to identify differentially expressed proteins in embryogenic (E) and non-embryogenic (NE) callus during maturation treatment. E and NE callus were cultured on maturation culture medium supplemented with different concentrations (0.0, 0.75, 1.5 and 2.0 g L^-1) of activated charcoal (AC). Somatic embryo formation and differential protein expression were evaluated at days 0 and 21 using shotgun proteomic analyses. Treatment with 1.5 g L^-1 AC resulted in higher somatic embryo maturation rates (158 somatic embryos in 14 days) in E callus but has no effect in NE callus. A total of 752 co-expressed proteins were identified through the SUCEST (The Sugarcane EST Project), including many housekeeping proteins. E callus showed 65 exclusive proteins on day 0, including dehydrogenase, desiccation-related protein, callose synthase 1 and nitric oxide synthase. After 21 days on maturation treatment, 14 exclusive proteins were identified in E callus, including catalase and secreted protein. NE callus showed 23 exclusive proteins on day 0 and 10 exclusive proteins after 21 days on maturation treatment, including many proteins related to protein degradation. The induction of maturation leads to somatic embryo development, which likely depends on the expression of specific proteins throughout the process, as seen in E callus under maturation treatment. On the other hand, some exclusive proteins can also specifically prevent of somatic embryos development, as seen in the NE callus.
