During stationary phase of growth under low stress of iron in succinic acid medium, Alcaligenes feacalis BCCM ID 2374 produced microbial iron chelators. Increase in iron concentration supported bacterial growth but suppressed
siderophores production, 1 μM and 2 μM of iron was optimum for maximum siderophore yield, i.e. 354 and 360 μg/ml in untreated
and deferrated medium, respectively. Threshold level of iron, which suppressed siderophores production in A. feacalis BCCM ID 2374, was 20 μM. Ten micromoles and above concentration of CuCl2 and CoCl2, and 20 μM of MgCl2, MgSO4, ZnCl2 and ZnSO4 severely affected siderophores production. 相似文献

This paper reports on the optimum concentrations of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzyladenine (BA) to stimulate callus
growth and NAA; kinetin and silver nitrate (AgNO3) for callus redifferentiation in Dianthus caryophyllus L. Meristems were excised and placed in MS medium with 30 g l−1 sucrose and 9.0 μM 2,4-d. Callus clusters were transferred to MS medium containing NAA (0, 1.7, 3.3, and 5.0 μM) and BA (0, 1.7, 3.3, and 5.0 μM)
for proliferation and to MS medium with 30 g l−1 sucrose, 2.5 g l−1 phytagel, kinetin (0, 33, and 66 μM); NAA (0, 7.95, and 15.9 μM) and AgNO3 (0, 23.54 and 47.08 μM) for shoot and root induction. Treatments were applied according to a Box–Behnken design. After callus
growth and redifferentiation, plants were incubated in the greenhouse at 18 ± 2°C for 4 wk and at 20–26°C for 4 wk. Finally,
plants were changed to near-commercial greenhouse conditions with different day (30–35°C) and night (16–24°C) temperatures.
Results showed better callus growth at higher NAA concentrations. A maximum callus weight was found with 5.0 μM NAA but without
BA. A maximum of 78% calluses with shoots was obtained with 15.9 μM NAA, 47.08 μM AgNO3, and 0.74 μM kinetin and 58% with roots with 15.7 μM NAA and 47.08 μM AgNO3, but without kinetin. The shoots obtained showed little hyperhydricity. Vigorous plants were obtained after gradual acclimatization
with an 80% survival rate under nursery conditions. 相似文献

Establishment, maintenance, regeneration, and transformation of somatic embryos by both direct and indirect means (callus-mediated)
was achieved for Bixa orellana, a tropical plant whose seeds produce commercially edible ‘annatto pigment,’ which mainly constitutes an apocarotenoid called
bixin. Callus-mediated methodology was found to be efficient in producing a greater number of embryos in a short time. The
maximum of 28 somatic embryos were produced in 16–18 weeks when immature zygotic embryonic stalks were inoculated onto Murashige
and Skoog (MS) medium containing B5 vitamins supplemented with 0.44 μM benzyladenine (BA), 0.054 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid
(NAA), 2.89 μM gibberellic acid (GA3), 0.02 μM triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA), and 0.011 μM triacontanol (TRIA). Callus initiation from hypocotyl explants was obtained
on MS medium supplemented with 1.07–2.14 μM NAA and 10.2 μM BA. In 3 months, somatic embryos were produced when callus was
inoculated onto MS medium supplemented with 4.44 μM BA, 40 μM AgNO3, and 0.011 μM TRIA. Somatic embryos were efficiently regenerated on MS basal solid and liquid media supplemented with 0.44–4.4 μM
BA, 0.54–2.69 μM NAA, 4.92 μM 2iP, 2.1 μM calcium d-pantothenate, 0.21 μM biotin, 227.7 μM cysteine HCl monohydrate, and 108.6 μM adenine sulfate. Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV 3101 harboring pCAMBIA 1305.2 binary vector-mediated stable transformation of somatic embryos exhibited a transformation
frequency of 2.56%. As somatic embryogenesis in any perennial system is useful in terms of both commercial and scientific
nature, this somatic embryo-based transformation protocol for the commercially important dye-yielding tropical plant B. orellana is useful for its improvement through genetic engineering. 相似文献

An efficient regeneration protocol for rapid multiplication of Melia azedarach, an economically as well as medicinally important timber-yielding tree, was developed. Nearly 90% of the culture exhibited
axillary bud sprouting and multiple shoot formation from nodal segments derived from 20-year-old candidate plus tree on Murashige
and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 5 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA). The highest shoot regeneration frequency (92%), maximum
number of multiple shoots (19.7 ± 0.31) as well as shoot length (4.9 ± 0.08 cm) was induced from nodal explants on MS medium
amended with 5.0 μM BA, 0.5 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 30 μM adenine sulfate (AdS). Addition of 250 mg l−1 ammonium sulphate, (NH4)2SO4, and 100 mg l−1 K2SO4, prevented defoliation and tip burning without affecting the number of shoots. The explant harvest period also influenced
the bud break and shoot sprouting from nodal segments. Repeated subculturing of nodal explants on fresh MS medium containing
lower concentration of BA (2.5 μM) along with IAA (0.5 μM), AdS (30 μM) and additives was found most suitable growth regulator
regime for achieving 1.2-fold increase in shoot multiplication rate. The percentage of shoot multiplication as well as the
number of shoots per node remained the same during first three subculture passages, afterwards a decline was recorded. About
90% of the in vitro regenerated shoots were successfully rooted ex vitro by giving a pulse treatment of 250 μM indole-3-butyric
acid for 15 min, followed by their transfer to thermocol cups containing soilrite. The raised plantlets were successfully
acclimatized first under culture room conditions, then to green house with 85% survival rate. 相似文献

Callus cultures of two parental clones of Populus nigra L., Poli and 58-861, originating from contrasting environments, were exposed to different cadmium concentrations (0, 150
and 250 μM CdSO4). Clones showed different growth responses to cadmium, evaluated by the tolerance index (Ti), with Poli being more tolerant
to the metal at both concentrations. The cadmium concentration at the end of the treatment was very similar between clones
at 150 μM CdSO4, while a higher value in 58-861 compared to Poli was detected at 250 μM CdSO4. The bioconcentration factor evidenced the lowest value in Poli at 250 μM CdSO4. Unlike 58-861, cadmium provoked a strong induction of thiols and phytochelatins in clone Poli. In both clones, organic acid
concentration differed notably in untreated calli and cadmium treatment induced a general lowering of these compounds. A notably
higher antioxidant enzyme activity (ascorbate peroxidase, APX; catalase, CAT; guaiacol peroxidase, GPX) was measured in control
calli of clone Poli compared to 58-861. Cadmium induced a remarkable enhancement of APX and CAT, but not GPX, activity at
150 μM CdSO4 in Poli. Conversely, in 58-861 at 150 μM CdSO4, and in both clones at 250 μM CdSO4, a decrease in the antioxidant activity occurred. This investigation provided evidence that these two contrasting genotypes
of P. nigra are characterised by a different response to cadmium in callus cultures. In particular, in Poli, the higher tolerance to
cadmium is associated with a higher activity of antioxidative enzymes and the ability to strongly increase thiol and PC concentration
in response to metal exposure. 相似文献

The amitochondriate sexually-transmitted human parasitic protozoanTrichomonas vaginalis (Bushby strain) grown anaerobically on complex medium containing cysteine and ascorbic acid consumed O2 avidly (6.9 μM min−1 per 106 organisms) with an apparentK
m
value of 5.1 μM O2 : O2 uptake was inhibited by O2 > 120 μM. Spectrophotometric assays in the presence of microperoxidase (419-407 nm) indicated that H2O2 was produced and that inhibition by high O2 concentrations was again evident. Hydrogenosomes oxidizing pyruvate in the presence of ADP and succinate showed similar patterns
of O2 consumption, H2O2 production (33.5 pmol min−1 per mg protein), and O2 inhibition. Cytosolic NADH oxidase gave no detectable H2O2, whereas the cytosolic NADPH oxidase produced H2O2 at a rate (43 pmol min−1 per mg protein) greater than that of hydrogenosomes. These results are discussed in relation to the oxidative stress experienced
by the pathogen in its natural habitat. 相似文献

The effects of cadmium (Cd) on germination, and antioxidative enzyme activity (AEA) involving superoxide dismutase, catalase,
peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase, and on amounts of malondialdehyde and proline present within Achnatherum inebrians, were determined for specimens infected (E+) vs. non-infected (E−) by Neotyphodium gansuense, and cultivated in the presence of various concentrations of CdCl2 (0, 50, 100, 200 and 300 μmol/l). Under high Cd concentrations (100, 200 and 300 μM), E+ (vs. E−) specimens exhibited a higher
germination rate and index, and higher values for shoot length, root length and dry biomass, but there was no significant
difference (P > 0.05) under low Cd concentrations (0 and 50 μM). AEA and the proline content increased, but malondialdehyde content declined
in the E+ (vs. E−) specimens under high Cd concentrations (100, 200 and 300 μM). There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) under low Cd concentrations (0 and 50 μM). Endophyte infection was concluded to be of benefit to the germination
and anti-oxidative mechanisms within A. inebrians under plant exposures to high CdCl2 concentrations. 相似文献

Induction of high-frequency shoot regeneration using nodal segments containing axillary buds from a 1-yr-old mother plants
of Cannabis sativa was achieved on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0.05–5.0 μM thidiazuron. The quality and quantity of regenerants
were better with thidiazuron (0.5 μM thidiazuron) than with benzyladenine or kinetin. Adding 7.0 μM of gibberellic acid into
a medium containing 0.5 μM thidiazuron slightly increased shoot growth. Elongated shoots when transferred to half-strength
MS medium supplemented with 500 mg l−1 activated charcoal and 2.5 μM indole-3-butyric acid resulted in 95% rooting. The rooted plants were successfully acclimatized
in soil. Following acclimatization, growth performance of 4-mo-old in vitro propagated plants was compared with ex vitro vegetatively grown plants of the same age. The photosynthesis and transpiration characteristics were studied under different
light levels (0, 500, 1,000, 1,500, or 2,000 μmol m−2 s−1). An increase in photosynthesis was observed with increase in the light intensity up to 1,500 μmol m−2 s−1 and then decreased subsequently at higher light levels in both types of plants. However, the increase was more pronounced
at lower light intensities below 500 μmol m−2 s−1. Stomatal conductance and transpiration increased with light intensity up to highest level (2000 μmol m−2 s−1) tested. Intercellular CO2 concentration (C
i) and the ratio of intercellular CO2 concentration to ambient CO2 (C
i/C
a) decreased with the increase in light intensity in both in vitro as well as ex vitro raised plants. The results show that in vitro propagated and hardened plants were functionally comparable to ex vitro plants of same age in terms of gas and water vapor exchange characteristics, within the limits of this study. 相似文献

Candida-associated denture stomatitis has a high rate of recurrence. Candida biofilms formed on denture acrylic are more resistant to antifungals than planktonic yeasts. Histatins, a family of basic
peptides secreted by the major salivary glands in humans, especially histatin 5, possess significant antifungal properties.
We examined antifungal activities of histatin 5 against planktonic or biofilm Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. Candida biofilms were developed on poly(methyl methacrylate) discs and treated with histatin 5 (0.01–100 μM) or fluconazole (1–200 μM).
The metabolic activity of the biofilms was measured by the XTT reduction assay. The fungicidal activity of histatin 5 against
planktonic Candida was tested by microdilution plate assay. Biofilm and planktonic C. albicans GDH18, UTR-14 and 6122/06 were highly susceptible to histatin 5, with 50% RMA (concentration of the agent causing 50% reduction
in the metabolic activity; biofilm) of 4.6 ± 2.2, 6.9 ± 3.7 and 1.7 ± 1.5 μM, and IC50 (planktonic cells) of 3.0 ± 0.5, 2.6 ± 0.1 and 4.8 ± 0.5, respectively. Biofilms of C. glabrata GDH1407 and 6115/06 were less susceptible to histatin 5, with 50% RMA of 31.2 ± 4.8 and 62.5 ± 0.7 μM, respectively. Planktonic
C. glabrata was insensitive to histatin 5 (IC50 > 100 μM). Biofilm-associated Candida was highly resistant to fluconazole in the range 1–200 μM; e.g. at 100 μM only ~20% inhibition was observed for C. albicans, and ~30% inhibition for C. glabrata. These results indicate that histatin 5 exhibits antifungal activity against biofilms of C. albicans and C. glabrata developed on denture acrylic. C. glabrata is significantly less sensitive to histatin 5 than C. albicans. 相似文献

Two inhibitors, aviglycine and propargylglycine, were tested for their ability to suppress methionine synthesis thus inhibit
conidial germination and mycelial growth of Czapek-Dox liquid medium grown Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. luffae
μM. The linear inhibition range for mycelial growth was about 7.6–762.9 μM. Although aviglycine did not completely inhibit both conidial germination and mycelial growth, it showed significant inhibitory
effect at 1.5 μM. The inhibition range for propargylglycine against conidial germination and mycelial growth were from 0.08 to 8841 μM and from 0.8 to 884.1 μM, respectively. Propargylglycine inhibited conidial germination and mycelial growth at a concentration of 8841 μM. The EC50 values of aviglycine were 1 μM for conidial growth and 122 μM for mycelial growth, and the EC50 values of propargylglycine were 47.7 μM for conidial growth and 55.6 μM for mycelial growth. Supplement of methionine released inhibition of aviglycine or propargylglycine to conidial germination.
In addition, a mixture of aviglycine (1.5 μM) and propargylglycine (8841 μM) showed additive inhibitive effect than applied alone on 10 isolates. From these results, both aviglycine and propargylglycine
exhibited inhibitory activity, and suggest that they can provide potential tools to design novel fungicide against fungal
pathogens. 相似文献

We cloned the gene, CdPAL1, from Cistanche deserticola callus using RACE PCR with degenerate primers that were designed based on a multiple sequence alignment of known PAL genes
from other plant species. The gene shows high homology to other known PAL genes registered in GenBank. The recombinant protein
exhibited Michaelis–Menten kinetics with a K
m of 0.1013 mM, V
max of 4.858 μmol min−1, K
cat of 3.36 S−1, and K
cat/K
m is 33,168 M−1 S−1. The enzyme had an optimal pH of 8.5 and an activation energy of 38.92 kJ mol−1 when l-Phenylalanine was used as a substrate; l-tyrosine cannot be used as substrate for this protein. The optimal temperature was 55°C, and the thermal stability results
showed that, after a treatment at 70°C for 20 min, the protein retained 87% activity, while a treatment at 75°C for 20 min
resulted in a loss of over 85% of the enzyme activity. Treatment with heavy metal ions (Hg2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+) showed remarkable inhibitory effects. Among the intermediates from the lignin (cinnamyl alcohol, cinnamyl aldehyde, coniferyl
aldehyde, coniferyl alcohol), phenylpropanoid (cinnamic acid, coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid) and phenylethanoid
(tyrosol and salidroside) biosynthetic pathways, only cinnamic acid showed strong inhibitory effects against CdPAL1 activity with a K
i of 8 μM. Competitive inhibitor AIP exhibited potent inhibition with K
i = 0.056 μM. 相似文献

The fern Asplenium nidus L. is in great demand as an ornamental plant. The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of phytohormones in promoting
a gametophytic and sporophytic growth in homogenized sporophytes tissue. Exogenous application of 0.5 and 5 μM N
6-benzyladenine, 0.05 and 0.5 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and 0.3 and 3 μM gibberellic acid (GA3) favoured sporophyte regeneration, whereas gametophyte regeneration took place when plant material was cultured in a hormone-free
liquid MS medium. The endogenous contents of the auxin IAA, the cytokinins trans-zeatin, trans-zeatin riboside, dihydrozeatin, dihydrozeatin riboside, isopentenyladenine and isopentenyladenosine, and the gibberellins
GA1, GA3, GA4, GA7, GA9 and GA20 in growing gametophytes and sporophytes were evaluated. Similar levels of the auxin and cytokinins and qualitative differences
in the gibberellins were found between both generations. 相似文献

In this study, we isolated and characterized a novel feather-degrading bacterium that shows keratinolytic, antifungal and
plant growth-promoting activities. A bacterium S8 was isolated from forest soil and confirmed to belong to Bacillus subtilis by BIOLOG system and 16S rRNA gene analysis. The improved culture conditions for the production of keratinolytic protease
were 0.1% (w/v) sorbitol, 0.3% (w/v) KNO3, 0.1% (w/v) K2HPO4, 0.06% (w/v) KH2PO4 and 0.04% (w/v) MgCl2·6H2O (pH 8.0 and 30°C), respectively. In the improved medium containing 0.1% (w/v) feather, keratinolytic protease production
was around 53.3 ± 0.3 U/ml at 4 day; this value was 10-fold higher than the yield in the basal feather medium (5.3 ± 0.1 U/ml).
After cultivation for 5 days in the improved medium, intact feather was completely degraded. Feather degradation resulted
in free –SH group, soluble protein and amino acids production. The concentration of free –SH group in the culture medium was
15.5 ± 0.2 μM at 4 days. Nineteen amino acids including all essential amino acids were produced in the culture medium; the
concentration of total amino acid produced was 3360.4 μM. Proline (2809.9 μM), histidine (371.3 μM) and phenylalanine (172.0 μM)
were the major amino acids released in the culture medium. B. subtilis S8 showed the properties related to plant growth promotion: hydrolytic enzymes, ammonification, indoleacetic acid (IAA),
phosphate solubilization, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Interestingly, the strain S8 grown in the improved medium
produced IAA and antifungal activity, indicating simultaneous production of keratinolytic and antifungal activities and IAA
by B. subtilis S8. These results suggest that B. subtilis S8 could be not only used to improve the nutritional value of feather wastes but also is useful in situ biodegradation of
feather wastes. Furthermore, it could also be a potential biofertilizer or biocontrol agent applicable to crop plant soil. 相似文献

The composition of the essential oils and methanolic extracts of two cultivated mint species (M. longifolia and M. pulegium), as well as the in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the essential oil and methanol extract of Mentha longifolia and Mentha pulegium were compared. GC-MS analysis of the essential oil identified 41 compounds constituting 96.66 and 96.13% of the total oil
from M. longifolia and M. pulegium, respectively. The later oils were rich on pulegone (47.15 and 61.11%, respectively). Moreover, 1,8 cineole (11.54%), menthone
(10.7%), α-pinene (3.57%), α-terpineol (3.17%) and d-cadinene (3.53%) were only present in M. longifolia oil, while isomenthone (17.02%), and piperitone (2.63%), were characteristic of M. pulegium oil. Shoot extract of the two species showed significantly different contents in total polyphenols (89.1 and 37.41 mg GAE/g
DW), flavonoids (63.93 and 33.83 mg CE/g DW) and tannins (1.47 and 3.07 mg CE/g DW), respectively in M. longifolia and M. pulegium. The essential oils showed strong antimicrobial activity against all 16 microorganisms tested, whereas the methanol extracts
were inactive. Moreover, the essential oils showed higher antioxidant activity than the methanolic extracts against the DPPH
and superoxide radical scavenging. In fact, antioxidant activities of the oils were the same for both M. longifolia and M. pulegium against DPPH (IC50 = 9 and 10 μg/ml, respectively) and 2-fold and 4-fold higher than shoot extracts (IC50 = 20 and 48 μg/ml, respectively). Moreover, both oils showed the same antioxidative abilities as compared to the positive
control (butylated hydroxytoluene). In the same way, the capacity to inhibit superoxide anion was very significant for the
two oils (0.1 μg/ml for M. longifolia and 0.11 μg/ml for M. pulegium). 相似文献

The effect of trace metal ions (Co2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, Mo6+, Ni2+, Zn2+, SeO4
− and WO4
−) on growth and ethanol production by an ethanologenic acetogen, Clostridium
ragsdalei was investigated in CO:CO2-grown cells. A standard acetogen medium (ATCC medium no. 1754) was manipulated by varying the concentrations of trace metals
in the media. Increasing the individual concentrations of Ni2+, Zn2+, SeO4
− and WO4
− from 0.84, 6.96, 1.06, and 0.68 μM in the standard trace metals solution to 8.4, 34.8, 5.3, and 6.8 μM, respectively, increased
ethanol production from 35.73 mM under standard metals concentration to 176.5, 187.8, 54.4, and 72.3 mM, respectively. Nickel
was necessary for growth of C. ragsdalei. Growth rate (μ) of C. ragsdalei improved from 0.34 to 0.49 (day−1), and carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) and hydrogenase (H2ase)-specific activities improved from 38.45 and 0.35 to 48.5 and 1.66 U/mg protein, respectively, at optimum concentration
of Ni2+. At optimum concentrations of WO4
− and SeO4
−, formate dehydrogenase (FDH) activity improved from 32.3 to 42.6 and 45.4 U/mg protein, respectively. Ethanol production
and the activity of FDH reduced from 35 mM and 32.3 U/mg protein to 1.14 mM and 8.79 U/mg protein, respectively, upon elimination
of WO4
− from the medium. Although increased concentration of Zn2+ enhanced growth and ethanol production, the activities of CODH, FDH, H2ase and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) were not affected by varying the Zn2+ concentration. Omitting Fe2+ from the medium decreased ethanol production from 35.7 to 6.30 mM and decreased activities of CODH, FDH, H2ase and ADH from 38.5, 32.3, 0.35, and 0.68 U/mg protein to 9.07, 7.01, 0.10, and 0.24 U/mg protein, respectively. Ethanol
production improved from 35 to 54 mM when Cu2+ was removed from the medium. The optimization of trace metals concentration in the fermentation medium improved enzyme activities
(CODH, FDH, and H2ase), growth and ethanol production by C. ragsdalei. 相似文献

Phytoplankton supports fisheries and aquaculture production. Its vital role as food for aquatic animals, like mollusks, shrimp,
and fish cannot be overemphasized. Because of its contribution as a food source for fish, the growth kinetics of Microcystis aeruginosa, a dominant cyanobacterium in the lake, was studied. The regular occurrence of M. aeruginosa is experienced during the months of May to July or from September to November in Laguna de Bay, the largest freshwater lake
in the Philippines. M. aeruginosa was collected from Laguna de Bay, isolated, and established in axenic conditions. Data on the growth kinetic parameters for
nitrate-nitrogen and phosphate-phosphorus utilization by M. aeruginosa gave the following values: half-saturation constant (K
s
), 0.530 mg N. L−1 and 0.024 mg P. L−1 respectively; maximum growth rate (μ
max
), 0.671. d−1 and 0.668. d−1 respectively; maximum cell yield, 6.5 and 6.54 log, cells. ml−1 respectively; nutrient level for saturated growth yield, 8.71 mg N. L−1 and 0.22 mg P. L−1 respectively; and minimum cell quota (Q
0
), 2.82 pg N. cell−1 and 0.064 pg P. cell−1 respectively. The low K
s value and high maximum growth rate (μ
max
) for phosphorus by M. aeruginosa would suggest a high efficiency of phosphorus utilization. On the other hand, the high K
s
value for nitrogen indicated a low rate of uptake for this nutrient. 相似文献

When cotyledonary explants, excised from in vitro germinated seedlings, of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) were incubated on solid Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium supplemented with 21 μM naptheleneacetic acid (NAA) and 9 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA), 80% of explants developed callus.
A high frequency of shoot organogensis was obtained when explants were incubated on MS medium supplemented with 8 μM BA, 6 μM
NAA, and 6 μM giberrellic acid (GA3). However, adding 24 μM silver nitrate (AgNO3) to this medium markedly enhanced shoot regeneration frequency (63%) and mean number of shoots per explant (11.26) and length
of shoots (2.22 cm). Highest frequency of in vitro rooting, mean number of roots/shoot (4.32), and mean root length (2.71 cm)
were obtained when regenerated shoots were transferred to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.02% activated charcoal.
Well-rooted plantlets were acclimatized, and then transferred to soil medium. Moreover, when zygotic embryos of P. granatum, excised from seeds collected at 16 weeks following full bloom, were incubated on MS medium containing 30 g l−1 sucrose, 15% coconut water, 21 μM NAA, and 9 μM BA, they developed the highest frequency of embryogenic callus, clumps with
globular embryos, and mean number of both globular and heart-shaped embryos per callus clump. Subjecting zygotic embryo explants
to six-week dark incubation period was essential for embryogenic callus induction, and these were subsequently transferred
to 16 h photoperiod for further growth and development of somatic embryos. Germination of somatic embryos was observed when
these were transferred to MS medium was supplemented with 60 g l−1 sucrose. 相似文献

To understand how plants from the Fabaceae family maintain zinc (Zn) homeostasis, we have characterized the kinetics of three
Zn transporting proteins from the ZIP family of divalent metal transporters in the model legume Medicago truncatula. Of six ZIP’s studied, MtZIP1, MtZIP5 and MtZIP6 were the only members from this family determined to transport Zn and were
further characterized. MtZIP1 has a low affinity for Zn with a Km of 1 μM as compared to MtZIP5 and MtZIP6 that have a higher affinity for Zn with Km of 0.4 μM and 0.3 μM, respectively. Zn transport by MtZIP1 was more sensitive to inhibition by copper (Cu) concentrations
than MtZIP5 and MtZIP6, because 3 μM Cu inhibited Zn transport by 80% in MtZIP1 while 5 μM Cu was required to achieve the
same inhibition of Zn transport in MtZIP5 and MtZIP6. Cadmium (Cd) had a greater effect on the ability of MtZIP1 to transport
Zn than MtZIP5 and MtZIP6, because at a concentration of 3 μM Cd, the Zn transport by MtZIP1 was inhibited 55% and the transport
of Zn by MtZIP5 and MtZIP6 was inhibited by 20–30%. However, only MtZIP6 transported Cd at higher rates than those observed
in the control plasmid pFL61, demonstrating a low affinity for Cd based on a Km of 57 μM. These results suggest that Medicago truncatula has both high and low affinity Zn transporters to maintain Zn homeostasis and that these transporters may function in different
compartments within the plant. 相似文献

Tecoma stans is a tropical plant from the Americas. Antioxidant activity and both phenolic compound and flavonoid total content were determined
for callus tissue of T. stans cultured in either a set photoperiod or in darkness. Callus lines from three explant types (hypocotyls, stem, and leaf) were
established on B5 culture medium supplemented with 0.5 μM 2,4-D and 5.0 μM kinetin. While leaf-derived callus grew slower
under a 16-h photoperiod (specific growth rate, μ = 0.179 d−1, t
D = 3.9 d) than in darkness (μ = 0.236 d−1, t
D = 2.9 d), it accumulated the highest amount (p < 0.05) of both phenolics (86.6 ± 0.01 mg gallic acid equivalents/g) and flavonoids (339.6 ± 0.06 mg catechin equivalents/g).
Similarly, antioxidant activity was significantly higher (p < 0.05) when callus was cultured in period light than when grown in extended darkness. Antioxidant activity measured with
a 2,20-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS)-based assay was 350.5 ± 15.8 mmol Trolox/g
extract for callus cultured under a defined photoperiod compared to 129.1 ± 7.5 mmol Trolox/g extract from callus cultured
in darkness. Content of phenolic compounds and flavonoids was in agreement with a better antioxidant power (EC50 = 450 μg extract/mg 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and antiradical efficiency. Results of the present study show that calli
of T. stans are a source of compounds with antioxidant activity that is favored by culture under a set photoperiod. 相似文献

In vitro propagation of northern red oak (Quercus rubra) shoots was successful from cotyledonary node explants excised from 8-wk-old in vitro grown seedlings. Initially, four shoots per explant were obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.4 μM
6-benzylaminopurine (BA), 0.45 μM thidiazuron (TDZ), and 500 mg l−1 casein hydrolysate (CH) with a regeneration frequency of 64.7% after 3 wk. Subculturing explants (after harvesting shoots)
to fresh treatment medium significantly increased shoot bud regeneration (16.6 buds per explant), but the buds failed to develop
into shoots. A higher percentage (73.3%) of the explants regenerated four shoots per explant on woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented
with 4.4 μM BA, 0.29 μM gibberellic acid (GA3), and 500 mg l−1 CH after 3 wk. Explants subcultured to fresh treatment medium after harvesting shoots significantly increased shoot regeneration
(16 shoots per explant). Shoot elongation was achieved (4 cm) when shoots were excised and cultured on WPM supplemented with
0.44 μM BA and 0.29 μM GA3. In vitro regenerated shoots were rooted on WPM supplemented with 4.9 μM indole-3-butyric acid. A higher percentage regeneration response
and shoot numbers per explant were recorded on WPM supplemented with BA and GA3, than on MS medium containing BA and TDZ. Lower concentrations of BA and GA3 were required for shoot elongation and prevention of shoot tip necrosis. Each cotyledonary node yielded approximately 20
shoots within 12 wk. Rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized. 相似文献
