Single primer amplification reaction (SPAR) methods reveal subsequent increase in genetic variations in micropropagated plants of Nepenthes khasiana Hook. f. maintained for three consecutive regenerations

The genetic fidelity of in vitro-raised plants of three successive regenerations of Nepenthes khasiana Hook. f. was assessed using three different single primer amplification reaction (SPAR) methods, viz., random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and direct amplification of minisatellite DNA region (DAMD) markers. Out of 80 RAPD primers screened, 14 primers reflected a genetic variation of 4.1% in the first regeneration which was increased to 9.4% in the third regeneration. In the case of ISSR, out of 36 primers screened for assessment of genetic homogeneity of the regenerated plantlets, 12 primers showed an increase of genetic variation from 4.3% to 10% from the first to the third regenerations. In DAMD profiling, 15 primers were used for the evaluation of genetic fidelity where 8.47% of polymorphism was observed in the first regeneration which was increased to 13.33% in the third regeneration. The cumulative analysis reflected a genetic variation of 5.65% in the first regeneration which increased subsequently to 7.77% in the second regeneration and 10.87% in the third regeneration. The present study demonstrates SPAR technique to be an efficient tool for the assessment of clonal fidelity of in vitro-raised plants.     

Production of asymmetric somatic hybrid plants between Cichorium intybus L. and Helianthus annuus L.

In order to obtain male-sterile asymmetric somatic hybrids between chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) and a sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) male-sterile cytoplasmic line, mesophyll chicory protoplasts inactivated with iodoacetic acid and hypocotyl sunflower protoplasts irradiated with γ-rays have been fused, using PEG and applying two different procedures. Thirty three plants were regenerated from putative hybrid calli. A cytological analysis of their root-tip cells indicated that most of them had 18 chromosomes, the same number as chicory. Through Southern hybridisation on total DNA using the maize mitochondrial specific gene probes Cox I, Cox II and Cob, three plants were identified as cytoplasmic asymmetric hybrids, as shown by hybridisation bands specific for both chicory and sunflower. One of the regenerated plants produced a novel pattern of hybridisation that was not detected in either parent. When hybridisation of total DNA was carried out with an atpA mitochondrial gene probe the same three cybrids presented both the fertile chicory fragment and the male-sterile sunflower fragment. Finally, Southern hybridisation with an ORF 522 probe, which in sunflower is co-transcribed with the atpA gene, confirmed the hybrid nature of the three plants. The morphology of the cybrids resembled the parental chicory phenotype, and at anthesis their anthers produced fewer pollen grains which could not germinate either ”in vitro” or ”in situ.” Cybrid plants grown in the field produced seeds when free-pollination occurred.

Genetic stability in micropropagated Cleome gynandra revealed by SCoT analysis

A newly developed and novel DNA marker technique, i.e. start codon targeted (SCoT) polymorphic markers that target plant gene regions were used to assess genetic stability of in vitro raised plants of Cleome gynandra multiplied by enhanced bud proliferation from nodal segments. Seven randomly selected micropropagated plants, following at least 2 months of growth in the greenhouse along with mother plant were subjected to molecular analysis. Of 24 primers screened, 15 primers produced unambiguous and reproducible bands. All 15 primers generated a total of 65 fragments, with a mean of 4.3 ranging 2–7 per primer. No polymorphism was detected in regenerated plants and the mother plant, revealing the genetic fidelity of the in vitro raised plantlets. To verify the results of SCoT analysis, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were also used for the assessment of genetic fidelity of tissue culture raised plants. The monomorphic banding pattern in micropropagated plants and the mother plant obtained from SCoT and RAPD analysis confirms the genetic stability of the in vitro raised plants and demonstrates the reliability of our micropropagation system for C. gynandra, an important C₄ plant.

Analysis of genetic stability of plants regenerated from suspension cultures and protoplasts of meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.)

A cytological and molecular analysis was performed to assess the genetic uniformity and true-to-type character of plants regenerated from 20 week-old embryogenic suspension cultures of meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.), and compared to protoplastderived plants obtained from the same cell suspension. Cytological variation was not observed in a representative sample of plants regenerated directly from the embryogenic suspensions and from protoplasts isolated therefrom. Similarly, no restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were detected in the mitochondrial, plastid and nuclear genomes in the plants analyzed. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPDs) have been used to characterise molecularly a set of mature meadow fescue plants regenerated from these in vitro cultures. RAPD markers using 18 different short oligonucleotide primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequence in combination with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allowed the detection of pre-existing polymorphisms in the donor genotypes, but failed to reveal newly generated variation in the protoplast-derived plants compared to their equivalent suspensionculture regenerated materials.The genetic stability of meadow fescue plants regenerated from suspension cultures and protoplasts isolated therefrom and its implications on gene transfer technology for this species are discussed.Abbreviations PCR polymerase chain reaction - RAPD random amplified polymorphic DNA - RFLP restriction fragment length polymorphism.     

Genetic and biochemical stability assessment of plants regenerated from cryopreserved shoot tips of a commercially valuable medicinal herb <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacopa monnieri</Emphasis> (L.) Wettst

Shoot tips from four accessions (IC249250, IC 426442, IC 375976, and IC468878) of Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst., a commercially valuable memory revitalizing medicinal plant, were cryopreserved using a vitrification technique. Depending on the genotype, 0 to 20% plant regeneration without intermediary callus was achieved from cryopreserved shoot tips. Genetic stability of plants derived from cryopreserved shoot tips was assessed using biochemical and molecular markers. The regenerated plants from non-frozen controls and cryopreserved shoot tips exhibited morphological similarity to respective parental material when transferred to soil. On the basis of ten random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and bacoside A content using HPLC analysis, no significant reproducible variation was observed between the controls and in vitro-cryopreserved plants. Thus, after cryopreservation treatment, the regenerated plants exhibited molecular and biochemical genetic stability.     

Indifference of potato anther culture to colchicine and genetic similarity among anther-derived monoploid regenerants determined by RAPD analysis

Effects of colchicine on androgenesis of diploid potato (Solanum phureja Juz. & Buk.) and ploidy of anther-derived plants were examined in three experiments. In the first, no significant difference was found for mean embryos per anther of an interspecific potato clone after application of five colchicine treatments (0, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg l^-1) for 24 h to freshly excised anthers containing late uninucleate microspores. The same colchicine treatments were applied to six hybrid potato families in the second experiment. Families differed for number of embryos per anther and embryo regeneration frequency; however, androgenic response did not differ significantly among colchicine treatments. The 312 regenerated plants included 233 (75%) monoploids. The third experiment examined durations (0, 90 s vacuum infiltration, 24, 48 and 72 h) of high colchicine treatment (200 mg l^-1) on anther culture of seedlings representing one family. Mean embryos per anther, though not statistically significant, ranged from 0.96 to 1.90 for 48 h colchicine and 90 s vacuum infiltration, respectively. There were 126 plants regenerated of which 62% were monoploid. Frequency of monoploid plants regenerated from colchicine treatments did not differ significantly. RAPD analysis was conducted on 26 anther-derived monoploids of one family, based on common flasks of origin. The 13 decamer primers revealed 54 polymorphic loci. These were used to characterize the monoploids genetically. From one flask, two pairs of monoploids among six examined were genetically indistinguishable. Examination of a second and third flask revealed, six of seven and three of seven monoploids that were genetically indistinguishable. These data suggest the regeneration of genetic clones within flasks and may indicate the occurrence of secondary embryogenesis during anther culture. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Genetic stability of micropropagated almond plantlets,as assessed by RAPD and ISSR markers

Almond shoots produced by axillary branching from clone VII derived from a seedling of cultivar Boa Casta were evaluated for somaclonal variation using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) analysis. To verify genetic stability we compared RAPD and ISSR patterns of plantlets obtained after 4 and 6 years of in vitro multiplication. A total of 64 RAPD and 10 ISSR primers gave 326 distinct and reproducible band classes, monomorphic across all 22 plantlets analysed. Thus, a total of 7,172 bands were generated, exhibiting homogeneous RAPD and ISSR patterns for the plantlets tested. These results suggest that the culture conditions used for axillary branching proliferation are appropriate for clonal propagation of almond clone VII, as they do not seem to interfere with the integrity of the regenerated plantlets. These results allowed us to establish the use of axillary branching plantlets (mother-plants) as internal controls for the analysis of somaclonal variation of shoots regenerated from other in vitro culture processes performed with clone VII (adventitious regeneration, regeneration from meristem culture, virus sanitation programs and genetic engineering).M. Martins and D. Sarmento contributed equally to this paper     

Shoot differentiation, regeneration of cauliflower and analysis of somaclonal variation by RAPD

Our major goal in this study was to establish and characterize an efficient callus induction and shoot regeneration protocol for cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis). The effects of induction medium, growth regulator combination, organic component, AgNO(3), genotype and explants type on shoot differentiation on the cauliflower regeneration process were taken in account and hereby evaluated. The optimal media for shoot differentiation and rooting were modified MS medium (MS with PG-96 organic components) supplemented with NAA at 0.5 mg l(-1), TDZ at 0.25 mg l(-1), BA at 3.0 mg l(-1), AgNO(3) at 2.0 mg l(-1) and MS supplemented with IBA at 0.4 mg l(-1), respectively. Among the four varieties tested, Saixue gave the best shoot differentiation response (average over 18 shoots per explant) from the upper section of the hypocotyls. We have so far obtained over 500 regenerated plants under this improved protocol. We have further analyzed the somaclonal variation of regenerated plants at the DNA level by using the RAPD molecular markers. By PCR amplification, we were able to amplify 75 scoreable bands from 15 primers out of 40 arbitrary primers screened, where 35 of them were monomorphic and 40 polymorphic bands (53.3%) in four varieties studied. The absence of polymorphism among regenerated plants from the same variety indicated the conformity of the regeneration protocol.     

The detection of genome polymorphism in Stachys species using RAPD

Molecular genome analysis was for the first time carried out in the genus Stachys. RAPD analysis proved to be suitable for identifying the species-specific markers, studying the interspecific DNA polymorphism, and detecting the genetic changes that arise during in vitro culturing of Stachys sieboldii. In addition, RAPD was used for screening genetic variation in S. sieboldii regenerants obtained at various phytohormone concentrations. High cytokinin concentrations and multiple regeneration were shown to induce genetic changes detectable with RAPD patterns. High DNA polymorphism was demonstrated for two types of S. sieboldii callus cultures and for plants regenerated from a callus culture.
