Commercialization of plant tissue culture in India

Commercial application of plant tissue culture started in USA with micropropagation of orchids in 1970s. It has seen tremendous expansion globally from 1985 to 1990 in the number of production units as well as the number of plants produced. With an estimated global market of 15 billion US dollars per annum for tissue cultured products, even with exponential expansion in the industry, the demand far exceeds production, leaving enough scope for expansion. This industry appears to be undergoing a pause in growth presently in developed countries as it is finding difficult to remain cost–effective. In US, only half the production capacity is being utilized currently due to high labour costs. In developing countries, with lower wage scales, plants are being produced at much cheaper rates. Indian micropropagation industry, though a late starter by almost a decade, compared to its western counterparts, has expanded exponentially from 5 million annual capacity in 1988 to 190 million in 1996. The facilities now created are at par with the best in leading countries like the Netherlands and USA. To remain in profitable business and to earn the much needed foreign exchange, Indian units need to judiciously mix steady revenue generating items with unique speciality items based on demand in domestic and international markets.

The influence of ethylene in plant tissue culture

Ethylene produced by plant tissues grown in vitro may accumulate in large quantities in the culture vessels, particularly from rapidly growing non-differentiated callus or suspension cultures, and hence is likely to influence growth and development in such systems. Research into this aspect of tissue culture has been sparse, although it has grown recently with the increasing importance of in vitro regeneration. This review deals with the measurement and relevance of the accumulated ethylene, and the influence of both exogenous and endogenous ethylene in the different types of tissue culture systems. The relationships between ethylene and other growth regulators in tissue culture growth and development are also discussed. Although in some cases its influence seems negligible, in many types of tissue culture ethylene may act either as a promoter or inhibitor depending on the species used. Thus ethylene has an important influence on many aspects of in vitro regeneration, but it is also clear that we cannot at present describe a specific role or roles for ethylene in tissue culture which can be applied at a general, species-wide level. If its effects are to be enhanced or diminished in order to improve the efficiency and range of plant tissue culture, then more research is needed to clarify what its fundamental role might be in in vitro growth and development.Abbreviations ABA abscisic acid - ACC 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid - AOA aminooxyacetic acid - ASA acetylsalicyclic acid - AVG aminoethoxyvinylglycine - BA N⁶ benzylaminopurine; 2,4-D, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - DNP 2,4-dinitrophenol - GA gibberellin - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - IBA indole-3-butyric acid - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - SAM S-adenosylmethionine - STS silver thiosulphate - TIBA 2,3,5-triidobenzoic acid     

Hormonal mechanisms for differentiation in plant tissue culture

Summary Cells possess extraordinary powers to organize their molecular processes not only to maintain a cell in a given steady state but also to recognize that state during differentiation. Regulation of these organizational forces appears to be under the control of chemical factors, and a hormonal concept of regulation has evolved. Hormones have been considered to act by reacting with a specific target site. This may be part of their mode of action, but I would like to suggest that a hormone enters and becomes part of a total molecular resonance system. In so doing, the entire molecular system of the cell is modified. Of the known plant hormones, the cytokinins, because of their role in experimentally induced cell division and differentiation, serve as a probe of hormonal involvement in differentiation. Cultured somatic cells of tobacco plants can be induced to undergo differentiation by addition of cytokinin and auxin to the medium. Studies of the cytokinin hormones show a series of diverse molecular involvements. The archetype cytokinin, N⁶-(Δ²-isopentenyl) adenosine (i⁶Ado), occurs in some molecular species of tRNA where it plays a vital role in the codon-anticodon interaction of tRNA and m-RNA. i⁶Ado under-goes extensive metabolism in the tobacco tissue. It is either degraded to adenosine or converted to derivatives that possess biological activity. It is perhaps, therefore, more correct to consider the hormone function as being derived from this total metabolic web. The normal somatic cells of tobacco cultures spontaneously change occasionally into an autonomous form that requires no external growth factors. This line of cells synthesizes i⁶Ado. The metabolic web of the hormone-dependent strain can be perturbed by added auxin but such is not the case in the autonomous strain. These data provide some insight into the altered state of cytokinin activity in which a cell line changes into an autonomous form. Curiously, in become independent of the requirement for exogenous cytokinin, the autonomous tissue becomes sensitive to added cytokinin. i⁶Ado also inhibits the growth of lines of mammalian cancer cells grown in culture.

Development of a helical-ribbon impeller bioreactor for high-density plant cell suspension culture

A double helical-ribbon impeller (HRI) bioreactor with a 11-L working volume was developed to grow high-density Catharanthus roseus cell suspensions. The rheological behavior of this suspension was found to be shear-thinning for concentrations higher than 12 to 15 g DW . L(-1). A granulated agar suspension of similar rheological properties was used as a model fluid for these suspensions. Mixing studies revealed that surface baffling and bottom profiling of the bioreactor and impeller speeds of 60 to 150 rpm ensured uniform mixing of suspensions. The HRI power requirement was found to increase singnificantly for agar suspensions higher than 13 g DW . L(-1), in conjunction with the effective viscosity increase. Oxygen transfer studies showed high apparent surface oxygen transfer coefficients (k(L)a approximately 4 to 45 h(-1)) from agar suspensions of 30 g DW . L(-1) to water and for mixing speeds ranging from 120 to 150 rpm. These high surface k(I)a values were ascribed to the flow pattern of this bioreactor configuration combined with surface bubble generation and entrainment in the liquid phase caused by the presence of the surface baffles. High-density C. roseus cell suspension cultures were successfully grown in this bioreactor without gas sparging. Up to 70% oxygen enrichment of the head space was required to ensure sufficient oxygen supply to the cultures so that dissolved oxygen concentration would remain above the critical level (>/=10% air saturation). The best mixing speed was 120 rpm. These cultures grew at the same rate ( approximately 0.4 d(-1)) and attained the same high biomass concentrations ( approximately 25 to 27 g DW . L(-1), 450 to 500 g filtered wet biomass . L(-1), and 92% to 100% settled wet biomass volume) as shake flask cultures. The scale-up potential of this bioreactor configuration is discussed.     

Effect of medium acidity on growth and rooting of different plant species growing in vitro

Micropropagated Choisya, Daphne, Delphinium, Hemerocallis, Hosta, Iris and Photinia were found to adjust the pH of Murashige and Skoog's plant tissue culture medium (initial pH 5.6 or 3.5) to different values depending on the species. When plant growth and rooting rates were determined after plants had been grown on media initially adjusted or buffered to values between 2.6 and 5.7 the different plant species were also found to have distinct pH requirements for optimal growth and/or rooting rates.Abbreviations MS Murashige & Skoog's (1962) medium - MS19 MS with additionally 10 g l^–1 sucrose - 80 mg l^–1 adenine sulphate and 130.9 mg l^–1 NaH₂PO₄ - BA 6-benzyladenine - NAA 1-naphthyl-acetic acid - IBA 3-indole-butyric acid - IAA 3-indole-acetic acid - 2iP N₆(2-isopentyl) adenine     

Mass multiplication of protocorm-like bodies using bioreactor system and subsequent plant regeneration in Phalaenopsis

Protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) formed on leaf segmentsin vitro were used as explants for bioreactor cultures. Continuous immersion cultures (air lift column and air lift-balloon bioreactor), and temporary immersion cultures (with or without charcoal filter attached) were used for the culture of PLB sections. A temporary immersion culture with charcoal filter attached was most suitable for PLB culture. About 18,000 PLBs were harvested from 20 g of inoculum (∼1000 PLB sections) in 2 l Hyponex medium after 8 weeks of incubation. Aeration in a bioreactor at 0.5 or 2.0 volume of air per volume of medium min⁻¹ (vvm) yielded similar levels of biomass production. PLBs grown in bioreactors were cultured on solid Murashige and Skoog, Vacin and Went, Knudson C, Lindemann and Hyponex media. Hyponex medium was found to be suitable for conversion of PLBs into plantlets and 83% of PLBs transformed into plantlets on this medium. The feasibility of using PLBs for large-scale micropropagation was evaluated for scaled-up liquid cultures in bioreactors, rate of proliferation, and regeneration.

Regeneration of plants using nutrient mist culture

Summary A nutrient mist was used forin vitro culture of plant tissue in a novel bioreactor, wherein the tissues were grown on a biologically inert screen within a sterile chamber which allows excess media to drain away from the tissue. Plants tested includedDaucus, Lycopersicon, Ficus, Cinchona, andBrassica. The latter 4 genera were fully regenerated within the bioreactor. Tissue inocula included callus, anthers, and shoot meristems. All plants grew at least as well in nutrient mists as in agar and always produced a greater quantity of shoots of a higher quality and often faster than agar cultures. Cost analysis estimates showed up to a 65% savings in production costs (labor and materials) could be realized using nutrient mist culture. Nutrient mist culture offers significant improvements in the micropropagation of plants.
