This study describes a protocol for rapid and efficient in vitro propagation of Lessertia frutescens (cancer bush), a medicinally important plant species native to southern Africa. Single node explants were grown in various culture regimes of MS medium containing 30 g/l sucrose supplemented with various concentrations of cytokinins and auxins and solidified with 8 g/l agar. These were (a) 2.22, 4.44, 13.32 and 22.19 µM BA; 2.32, 4.65, 13.95 and 23.23 µM K and 0.45, 2.27, 4.54 and 13.62 µM TDZ (b) a combination of 2.22 µM BA with 0.57, 2.85, 5.71 and 11.42 µM IAA, 0.49, 2.46, 4.9 and 9.8 µM IBA or 0.54, 2.69, 5.37 and 10.74 µM NAA and (c) different media types viz. MS, SH basal salt medium and WPM at 1, ½ and ¼ salt strength which were each supplemented with 2.22 µM BA and 0.54 µM NAA. Single node explants were also grown in MS liquid medium supplemented with 2.22 µM BA and 0.54 µM NAA in temporary and continuous immersion bioreactors. Maximum number of shoots (12.9) per single node explant was obtained in the temporary immersion bioreactor but 50% of these shoots showed symptoms of hyperhydricity. In solid culture the best shoot multiplication response (10 shoots) was obtained in full strength MS. Roots were induced using shoot tips cultured in ½ MS solid medium supplemented with various concentrations of IBA or NAA. The highest rooting percentage (78%) was achieved in 19.6 µM IBA. Rooted plantlets were cultured in a mixture of perlite and vermiculite (1:1; v/v) and successfully acclimatized in a growth chamber with an 85% survival rate. 相似文献

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an important oilseed crop grown in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Despite the nutritional value and cultural importance, the biotechnological research on sesame is very limited. In this study, we have optimized a simple and efficient protocol for producing an interspecific hybrid between Sesamum alatum and S. indicum through ovule culture. In the cross S. alatum × S. indicum, capsule retention without embryo abortion was extended up to 7 days after pollination by spraying the growth regulator mixture containing 289 µM gibberellic acid (GA3), 80.6 µM α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 23.3 µM kinetin. Direct organogenesis was successfully achieved when the ovules, excised from 7-day-old capsules, were cultured on MS medium containing 8.8 µM benzylaminopurine (BAP), 2.8 µM indole acetic acid (IAA) and 1712.3 µM glutamine. The regenerants produced roots on half strength MS medium supplemented with 0.27 µM NAA. Phenotypically, the S. alatum × S. indicum hybrid plants were intermediate to those of parents for majority of the traits. Cytological studies revealed normal meiosis in the hybrid without any chromosomal abnormalities. Peroxidase and esterase isozymes were demonstrated to be useful in the identification of hybrid plants. Screening against phyllody disease under greenhouse conditions revealed that the hybrids were moderately resistant. 相似文献

A protocol for multiple shoot bud induction and plant regeneration from leaf segment-derived callus of Ruta graveolens has been developed. Maximum organogenic callus induction frequency (70.6 ± 2.33%) was observed on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 10 µM 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). Multiple shoot induction was achieved from the surface of the callus when transferred to shoot induction media (MS nutrients supplemented with 6-benzyladenine (BA), kinetin (Kn), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) in various concentrations and combinations). The highest shoot multiplication (92.3%) was observed on MS medium with 7.5 µM BA and 1.0 µM NAA. Regenerated shoots were rooted in vitro on MS containing 0.5 µM IBA. Plantlets with well developed root and shoot systems were successfully acclimated (90%) and established in earthen pots containing garden soil; they exhibited normal morphology and growth characteristics. 相似文献

Moringa peregrinais an endangered species of Moringaceae.M. peregrinais a multipurpose tree with a wide variety of potential uses including its medicinal activity. In our study, a rapid and efficient micropropagation protocol for M. peregrina has been established. In vitro germinated seedlings were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different levels of either 6-benzyladenine (BA) or kinetin (Kin). The maximum shoot proliferation of 6.5 shoots per explant with 100 % shoot proliferation rate was observed on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BA. On the other hand, MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) resulted in the maximum number of roots. Micropropagated plants were successfully acclimatized. Genetic stability of micropropagated plants was assessed using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR). The amplification products were monomorphic in all in vitro grown plants. No polymorphism was detected indicating the genetic integrity of in vitro propagated plants. This micropropagation protocol could be useful for raising genetically uniform plants for plant propagation and commercial cultivation. 相似文献

Ramonda serbica and Ramonda nathaliae are rare and endemo relict plant species from Balkan Peninsula. An efficient micro propagation and in vitro conservation method via direct and indirect organogenesis from seed and leaf explants, respectively, was established in this study. The seed of both Ramonda species were collected from different populations in Kosovo, and were germinated in nutrient media JG-B without any phytohormone. The highest number of shoots and multiplication rate was observed on JG-B medium supplemented with BAP and IAA (0.5 mg l−1 each), whereas the highest number of leaves per plantlets was found on WPM and RA medium supplemented with BAP and IAA (0.1 mg l−1 each). During this stage of micro propagation some significant differences were observed in plantlets from different populations. The indirect organogenesis from parts of leaves of natural plants was not successful due to unavailability of established protocol for disinfections of the plant material. On other hand, parts of leaves from micro propagated plantlets, cultured on MS medium supplemented with different ratio of BAP and NAA, resulted in the highest efficiency for shoot regeneration. In vitro conservation of micro propagated plants at the lower temperature (4 °C) had a significantly positive effect for storage of more than 12 months. 相似文献

Adult Teladorsagia circumcincta survival and motility in vitro was examined in a range of different cell culture media, supplements and gas mixes. Under optimum conditions, worms survived for 14 days, exhibiting high motility for 9 days and egg production for 72 h. Optimum conditions involved co-culture of worms with a HeLa cell line in a supplemented cell medium (CEM) and an atmosphere containing 10% CO2, 5% O2 85% N2, 65% humidity at 37 °C. The incubation medium consisted of Minimum Essential Medium with 10% fetal calf serum, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1% glutamax and 1% penicillin-neomycin-streptomycin cocktail mix. Compared with optimum conditions, incubation in CEM alone, cell conditioned CEM, RPMI alone, Medium 199 alone, reduced CO2 or O2, or when cells were replaced with Escherichia coli, both survival and motility were reduced. Optimum conditions for adult T. circumcincta maintenance for culture, anthelmintic testing or generation of excretory/secretory products are described. 相似文献

A reproducible protocol developed for in vitro regeneration of Milletia pinnata using hypocotyl segments. Multiple shoots were induced from hypocotyl explants through direct adventitious shoot bud regeneration. The proximal end of hypocotyls was responsive for shoot bud induction. Silver nitrate and adenine sulphate had a positive effect on shoot bud induction and elongation. The maximum response and number of shoot bud produced in media supplemented with 8.88 μM BAP with 108.6 μM adenine sulphate and 11.84 μM silver nitrate. Elongated shoots were harvested and successful rooting of microshoots achieved on MS media supplemented with 9.84 μM IBA, with 81.1 % rooting. Remaining shoot buds sub-cultured for further multiplication and elongation. Each subculture produced eight to nine elongated microshoots up to four subcultures. The rooted microshoots were successfully hardened and transferred to field. 相似文献

Due to the major role of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus in the etiology of dental caries, it is important to use culture media that allow for differentiating these bacterial species. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of a modified SB-20 culture medium (SB-20M) for the isolation and morphological differentiation of S. mutans and S. sobrinus, compared to biochemical identification (biotyping). Saliva samples were collected using the spatula method from 145 children, seeded on plates containing the SB-20M, in which sucrose was replaced by coarse granular cane sugar, and incubated in microaerophilia at 37 °C during 72 h. Identification of the microorganisms was performed under stereomicroscopy based on colony morphology of 4904 colonies. The morphological identification was examined by biochemical tests of 94 randomly selected colonies with the macroscopic characteristic of S. mutans and S. sobrinus using sugar fermentation, resistance to bacitracin and production of hydrogen peroxide. There was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between morphological identification in the SB-20M medium and biochemical identification (biotyping). Biotyping confirmed that S. mutans and S. sobrinus colonies were correctly characterized in the SB-20M in 95.8% and 95.5% of the cases, respectively. Of the mutans streptococci detected in the children 98% were S. mutans and 2% S. sobrinus. The SB-20M medium is reliable for detection and direct morphological identification of S. mutans and S. sobrinus. 相似文献

Mycobacterium tuberculosis reduces nitrate very strongly as compared to Mycobacterium bovis and M. bovis BCG. Nitrate reductase, in conjunction with niacin accumulation, constitutes one of the major biochemical tests used in clinical microbiology laboratories to differentiate M. tuberculosis from other members of the M. tuberculosis complex, as well as nontuberculous Mycobacteria. Determination of nitrate reductase activity is currently performed using cultures grown on solid media with a slow detection time and the need for large quantities of bacilli, as otherwise the test is not reliable. Hereby, we propose a nitrate reduction test coupled to Bactec MGIT960 system as a simple, rapid and economic method with a total gain of time of about 3 to 4 weeks over the conventional solid medium. In our study, almost all the M. tuberculosis and Mycobacterium canettii strains gave a strongly positive nitrate reductase result within 1 day of positive detection by the MGIT960 system. In contrast, M. bovis, M. bovis BCG and M. africanum strains remained negative even after 14 days of incubation. The possibility to detect nitrate reductase within 1 to 3 days of a positive culture using MGIT960 opens new perspectives with the possibility of confirming M. tuberculosis — starting directly from pathological specimens. 相似文献

A promising method of micropropagation of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni has been developed with an aim to increase the biomass, survivability of the plantlets and stevioside production, using chlorocholine chloride (CCC). Microshoots transferred to the MS medium containing different combinations CCC and IBA were found to be most effective in terms of growth pattern, hardening ability of the plantlets and stevioside content, compared to MS medium containing either IBA or CCC. Among other combinations tested, MS medium supplemented with 3 mg/l CCC and 3 mg/l IBA was found most effective in inducing significant changes like reduced shoot length, increased number of roots, higher leaf size, increased biomass and chlorophyll retaining capacity, higher survival percentage and most importantly the elevated stevioside content. Collectively, the major observations of this research indicate that application of CCC in micropropagation of S. rebaudiana Bertoni is a promising approach and has commercial prospects. 相似文献

Camellia nitidissima Chi (Theaceae) is a world-famous economic and ornamental plant with golden-yellow flowers. It has been classified as one of the rarest and most endangered plants in China. Our objective was to induce somatic embryogenesis, shoot organogenesis and plant regeneration for C. nitidissima. Three types of callus (whitish, reddish and yellowish) were induced from immature cotyledons on improved woody plant medium (WPM) with different plant growth regulators (PGRs). Among the callus, whitish callus was induced by 4.5 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and reddish and yellowish callus were induced by strongly active cytokinins, thidiazuron (TDZ) or 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), singly or combined with weakly active auxin, α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The embryogenic callus could differentiate into somatic embryos, nodular embryogenic structures (large embryo-like structures) or adventitious shoots depending on the PGR used in WPM. BAP was best for adventitious buds and zeatin was best for somatic embryogenesis while kinetin (Kt) was best for the formation of nodular embryogenic structures. The three regeneration pathways often occurred in the same embryogenic callus clumps. Most shoots (80.0%) developed roots in WPM supplemented with 24.6 μM IBA and 0.3 μM NAA while 47.5% of somatic embryos could germinate directly and develop into plantlets on induction medium supplemented with 0.9 μM BAP and 0.1 μM NAA. The nodular embryogenic structures could be sub-cultured and cyclically developed in one of two differentiation pathways: shoot organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis. Plantlets derived from shoot buds rooted and somatic embryos germinated when transplanted into soil in a greenhouse; 66.7% of plantlets from shoot culture and 78.6% of plantlets from somatic embryos survived after 8 weeks’ acclimatization. 相似文献

Vase solutions of 2.5 or 5% (w/v) sucrose markedly reduced the abscission of all open florets and buds on cut Agapanthus praecox stems. Pulsing cut stems with these solutions was not as effective as continuous treatments. Pulse treatments with 10% sucrose for 4–24 h were relatively ineffective at reducing floret and bud abscission but longer pulses of 48 h reduced abscission. The relative ineffectiveness of sucrose pulse treatments appeared to be due to the low water uptake of the stems (1–3 ml/day). Reducing the number of florets and buds on an inflorescence reduced abscission of florets and buds, and increasing stem length from 25 cm to 50 cm decreased bud abscission. This reduction in abscission is possibly due to the increased availability of assimilates for the remaining buds and florets or reduced competition for assimilates. Exogenous ethylene treatments (9 µl/L for up to 24 h) had no effect on abscission, although STS treatment (4 mM, 4 h) significantly reduced floret abscission when stems were held in vase solutions of sucrose. We conclude that postharvest floret abscission in A. praecox is influenced primarily by the availability of assimilates to the developing florets. 相似文献

Spartium junceum L. (Leguminosae) is a perennial shrub, native to the Mediterranean region in southern Europe, widespread in all the Italian regions and, as a leguminous species, it has a high isoflavone content. An in vitro culture protocol was developed for this species starting from stem nodal sections of in vivo plants, and isoflavone components of the in vitro cultured tissues were studied by means of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analytical techniques. Two main isoflavones were detected in the S. junceum tissues during the in vitro propagation phases: Genistein (4′,5,7-Trihydroxyisoflavone), already reported in this species, and its methylated form 4′,5,7-Trimethoxyisoflavone, detected for the first time in this plant species (0.750 ± 0.02 mg g−1 dry tissue). The presence of both of these compounds in S. junceum tissues was consistently detected during the in vitro multiplication phase. The absence of the methylated form within plant tissues in the early phases of the in vitro adventitious root formation was correlated with its negative effect displayed on root induction and initiation phases, while its presence in the final “root manifestation” phase influenced positively the rooting process. The unmethylated form, although detectable in tissues in the precocious rooting phases, was no longer present in the final rooting phase. Its effect on rooting, however, proved always to be beneficial. 相似文献

An external quality assessment (EQA) panel consisting of a total of 13 samples in broncho alveolar lavage (BAL) or transport medium was prepared to assess the proficiency of laboratories in the correct detection of Chlamydophila pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae by nucleic acid amplification techniques (NAATs) (6 samples containing various concentrations (4.9-490 inclusion forming units (IFU)/ml) of C. pneumoniae, 5 samples containing various concentrations (20-5000 color-changing units (CCU)/ml) of M. pneumoniae and 2 samples negative for both).Seventy-nine laboratories from 18 countries participated in this EQA study. Sixty-four datasets were returned for C. pneumoniae (n = 5 conventional commercial, n = 10 conventional in-house, n = 4 real-time commercial, n = 43 real-time in-house, and n = 2 SDA). Sixty-seven datasets were obtained for M. pneumoniae (n = 5 conventional commercial, n = 10 conventional in-house, n = 4 real-time commercial, n = 46 real-time in-house, and n = 2 strand displacement amplification (SDA)). For the total panels, correct results per sample varied between 95.3% and 100% for C. pneumoniae and between 53.7% and 95.5% for M. pneumoniae. In general, commercial conventional NAATs showed possible sensitivity issues when compared to conventional in-house NAATs for both organisms. On the other hand, real-time commercial NAATs scored better than real-time in-house assays in terms of sensitivity for both organisms. For C. pneumoniae and M. pneumoniae, 0.8% and 2.2% true false-positive results and 1.9% and 2.0% false positives were reported in the samples spiked with the other organism.Analysis of the data for C. pneumoniae showed that the concentrations used were easily detectable by the vast majority of participants. The percentage of correct qualitative results for M. pneumoniae demonstrated that the concentrations included in this panel proved challenging for a number of participants. 相似文献

Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), a longhorned beetle species native to Asia, has been introduced into several North American and European cities. Currently eradication and preventive measures are limited to identifying and destroying infested trees and protecting uninfested trees with trunk or soil-injections of the systemic insecticide imidacloprid. Because entomopathogenic fungi like Metarhizium brunneum Petch have been identified as virulent against these beetles we conducted several tests to determine the compatibility of the two agents in combination. Radial hyphal growth and the sporulation capacity of M. brunneum on Sabouraud dextrose agar with yeast were not significantly affected by the presence of imidacloprid. In a 2 × 3 factorial experiment investigating interactions between exposure to imidacloprid and M. brunneum we observed no effect of imidacloprid alone on beetle survival when beetles were given a single dose of 10 or 100 ppm compared to control insects. We observed a significant effect of exposure to M. brunneum, and a significant interaction between imidacloprid and M. brunneum representing a synergistic effect of dual treatment. Beetles exposed to the fungus alone lived significantly longer compared to insects treated with a single dose of 100 ppm imidacloprid (9.5 vs. 6.5 d). Consumption of striped maple twigs by beetles exposed to imidacloprid, across concentrations, was reduced 48% compared to control insects, where as consumption by M. brunneum-exposed beetles was reduced by 16% over the first 6-days of the test period. Beetles fed 100 ppm imidacloprid consumed 32% less over the first 3 d compared to beetles not exposed to imidacloprid and thereafter consumed as much as beetles not fed 100 ppm imidacloprid. M. brunneum-exposed beetles consumed significantly less food than control insects throughout the test period, and beetles treated with imidacloprid produced significantly fewer conidia compared to beetles not treated with imidacloprid. 相似文献

Factors that directly impact horizontal transmission of the microsporidium Amblyospora albifasciati to its intermediate copepod host, Mesocyclops annulatus were examined in laboratory bioassays. Results were evaluated in relation to life history strategies that facilitate persistence of the parasite in natural populations of its definitive mosquito host, Ochlerotatusalbifasciatus. A moderately high quantity of meiospores from mosquito larvae was required to infect adult female copepods; the IC50 was estimated at 3.6 × 104 meiospores/ml. Meiospore infectivity following storage at 25 °C was detected up to 30 days, while meiospores stored at 4 °C remained infectious to copepods for 17 months with virtually no decline in infectivity. Uninfected female M. annulatus are long-lived; no appreciable mortality was observed in field-collected individuals for 26 days, with a few individuals surviving up to 70 days. The pathological impact of A. albifasciati infection on M. annulatus resulted in a 30% reduction in survivorship after 7 days followed by gradual progressive mortality with no infected individuals surviving more than 40 days. This moderate level of pathogenicity allows for a steady continual release of spores into the environment where they may be ingested by mosquito larvae. Infected female copepods survived in sediment under conditions of desiccation up to 30 days, thus demonstrating their capacity to function as a link for maintaining A. albifasciati between mosquito generations following periods of desiccation. The susceptibility of late stage copepodid M. annulatus to meiospores of A. albifasciati and subsequent transstadial transmission of infection to adult females was established. 相似文献

A new lepidopteran cell line, NTU-YB, was derived from pupal tissue of Eurema hecabe (Linnaeus) (Pieridae: Lepidoptera). The doubling time of YB cells in TNM-FH medium supplemented with 8% FBS at 28 °C was 26.87 h. The chromosome numbers of YB cells varied widely from 21 to 196 with a mean of 86. Compared to other insect cell lines, the YB cells produced distinct esterase, malate dehydrogenase, and lactate dehydrogenase isozyme patterns. Identity of the internal transcribed spacer region-I (ITS-I) of YB cells to E. hecabe larvae was 96% and to Eurema blanda larvae (tissue isolated from head) was 81%. The YB cells were permissive to Nosema sp. isolated from E. blanda and the infected YB cells showed obvious cytopathic effects after 3 weeks post inoculation. The highest level of spore production was at 4 weeks post inoculation when cells were infected with the Nosema isolate, and spore production was 1.34 ± 0.9 × 106 spore/ml. Ultrastructrual studies showed that YB cells can host in vitro propagation of the E. blanda Nosema isolate, and developing stages were observed in the host cell nuclei as observed in the natural host, E. blanda. The NTU-YB cell line is also susceptible to Nosema bombycis. 相似文献

Fractionation of dichloromethane and acetone fractions obtained by serial extraction from the leaf powder of Dodonaea viscosa Jacq. var. angustifolia (Sapindaceae) resulted in the isolation of four kaempferol methyl ethers. The compounds were identified by spectral data (1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS) as: 3, 5, 7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone (1); 5, 7, 4'-trihydroxy-3, 6-dimethoxyflavone (2); 5, 7-dihydroxy-3, 6, 4'-trimethoxyflavone (santin) (3); and 5-hydroxy -3, 7, 4'-trimethoxyflavone (4) together with 3,4',5,7-tetrahydroxy flavone (kaempferol) (5). Antioxidant potential of the compounds was evaluated using a DPPH spectrophotometric assay, while antibacterial activity was determined using a serial dilution microplate technique. The isolates demonstrated varying degrees of antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Of all the compounds investigated, compounds 1 and 5 demonstrated some antioxidant activity (EC50 = 75.49 ± 1.76 µM and 35.06 ± 0.85 respectively) but lower than l-ascorbic acid (EC50 = 13.55 ± 0.28 µM) used as a standard antioxidant agent. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of isolated compounds against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa varied from 16 µg/ml to more than 250 µg/ml. Some structure activity relationships could be established for these compounds. 相似文献
