Isolation of egg cells and zygotes of Torenia fournieri L. and determination of their surface charge

Egg cells of Torenia fournieri were isolated from embryo sacs 1 day after anthesis using enzymatic digestion or mechanical dissection. About 5% of the egg cells and zygotes (2-3 from 50 ovules) could be mechanically dissected within 2 h. When 0.1% cellulase and 0.1% pectinase were added to the mannitol isolation solution, about 18% of the egg cells (8-10 from 50 ovules) could be isolated within 2 h. The egg cells isolated by mechanical dissection could be used for in vitro fertilization studies without any of the potentially deleterious effects of the enzymes on the plasma membrane of egg cell. The egg cells isolated using enzymatic digestion could be used in the study of the molecular biology of female gamete because more egg cells could be isolated with this technique. Using enzymatic digestion, over 10 zygotes from 50 ovules (over 20%) were isolated from the pollinated ovules. Coupled with our successful isolation of mature sperm cells, the isolation of egg cells of T. fournieri will make in vitro fertilization possible in a dicotyledon plant.

A New Method for Embryo Sac Isolation and In Situ Fusion of Egg and Synergid Protoplasts in Nicotiana tabacurn

A new method combining enzymatic maceration with osmotic shock was developed for isolation of living embryo sac and its protoplasts in Nicotiana tabacum L. The principle of this method was that the ovules submitted to enzymatic treatment and osmotic shock could release embryo sacs along with some internal ovular cells through either the funicle cut end or the micropyle. Factors affecting embryo sac isolation were investigated, including concentration of mannitol as a shock osmoticum and in enzymesolution ,duration of enzymatic maceration,and duration of osmotic shock. As a result a procedure was established: Ovules at mature embryo sac stage were macerated for 2. S h in 1 %–1.5% cellulase R-10 and 0. 5% macerozyme R-10 (or 1% Pectinase,Serva) dissolved in 13% mannitol solution using microshaker,followed by osmotic shock for 15–30 min with enzyme free 8% mannitol solution and gentle agitation using a pipette. Using a capillary,50–70 embryo sacs could be collected manually in one hour. The embryo sacs thus isolated could be kept viable from which protoplasts of egg cell and other componcnt cells could be further isolated. An additional interesting phenomenon was that osmotic shock often caused in situ fusion the protoplasts of egg cell and synergids. The rate of fusion ranging 9%—71.9% could be controlled by modification of the procedure. This phenomenon merits further attention both from basic and practical point of view. The present method gives the advantages of faciliting isolation and promoting good harvest of viable embryo sacs/female protoplasts within a relative short time.     

Isolation and Identification of Viable Embryo Sacs in Several Angiosperm Species

Since the enzymatic technique for isolating embryo sac (ES) has been established on fixed materials of several angiosperms as well as on fresh ovules of Antirrhinum majus in our lab, further works on isolation of viable ESs were carried on. Fresh ovules were macerated in a solution of enzymes, sucrose with or without potassium dextran sulphate by a microshaker at 28–30℃ for several hours. The enzymes included pectinase, cellulase, snailase and pectolyase Y-23, the combination and concentration of which varied with the plant species and the developmental stages of ESs. To date the mature ESs of Helianthus annuus, A. majus and Nicotiana tabacum and the ESs after fertilization with proembryo and endosperm cells in the two former species were well isolated. Nomarski interference contrast and Hoechst 33253 fluorescence microscopical observations revealed that the ESs retained their cell structure and were rich of ergastic substances. Fluorochromasia induced by fluorescein diacetate further proved that they were really viable.     

Observations on enzymatically isolated,living and fixed embryo sacs in several angiosperm species

A technique has been developed for isolating embryo sacs (ESs) by enzymatic maceration. Ovules were macerated in a mixture of pectinase, cellulase and, in some cases, snailase and pectolyase Y-23. The ovular tissues were removed and the ESs were isolated in toto. Embryo sacs were isolated from both fixed and fresh ovules of Antirrhinum majus L., Helianthus annuus L. and Nicotiana tabacum L. Fluorochromasia by fluorescein diacetate showed that the ESs isolated from fresh ovules were viable. The method has promise for various histochemical and cell-physiological studies and quite possibly also for in-vitro culture of ESs.Abbreviations ES embryo sac - FDA fluorescein diacetate - FPA formalin-propionic acid 50% alcohol (5:5:10, by vol.) - H33258 Hoechst 33258     

Plant Regeneration from Callus Protoplasts of Codonopsis pilosula

Embryogenic cell line was established from hypocotyl segments of Codonopsis pilosula (Franch.)Nannf. 4--8 day old embryogenic callus was used to isolate protoplasts in an enzyme solution containing 1.5 % cellulase Onozuka R-10 and 3 % pectinase. Protoplasts were cultured in MS,C81V,DPD and KMSp basal medium supplemented with 1.2 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.2 mg/L NAA, 0. 2 mg/L BAP, 0. 1 mg/L ZT,and different combinations of glucose and mannitol . Protoplast-derived cells underwent sustained divisions in KM8p medium. As an osmoticum, glucose was more beneficial to protoplast division. A combination of 0. 30 mol/L glucose with 0.10 mol/L mannitol gave the best result. Under proper conditions , protoplasts underwent the first division on the 3rd day of culture,formed colonies within 30 days , and developed into microcalli in 6 weeks. Plantlets were regenerated from protoplast-derived calli through somatic embryogenesis. 0.2 % activated charcoal promoted embryoid formation and root development.
