Cryopreservation of Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) embryos   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Prior studies on cryopreserving embryos of several non-drosophilid flies established that two Drosophila melanogaster embryo cryopreservation protocols were not directly suitable for use with these species. This paper describes our work on developing a protocol for cryopreservation of embryos of the housefly, Musca domestica. Significant progress was made when permeabilization of the vitelline membrane was optimized, a vitrification solution containing ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and trehalose was formulated, and when cooling and recovery of the cryopreservation protocol included a step which passed the embryos through liquid nitrogen vapor. More than 70% of housefly embryos withstand treatments of dechorionation, permeabilization, loading with cryoprotectant, and dehydration in vitrification solution, but the cooling, warming, and poststorage rearing steps still cause a considerable reduction in survival. About 53% of the vitrified M. domestica embryos hatched into larvae. Relative to the percentage of the control adult emergence, about 13% of the embryos stored in liquid nitrogen developed into fertile adults. Hatching of the F(1) progeny of adults having been cryopreserved as embryos was similar to control levels.  相似文献

Ethylene biosynthesis during different phases of somatic embryogenesis in Medicago sativa L. cv. Rangelander using two regeneration protocols, RPI and RPII, was studied. The highest ethylene production was detected during callus growth on induction medium in both regeneration protocols. Significantly less ethylene was produced by embryogenic suspension than by callus (RPII). Developing embryos synthesized higher amounts of ethylene than mature embryos. Production of ethylene was strongly limited by the availability of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid and also by ACC-oxidase activity. However, removal of ethylene from culture vessels’ atmosphere using KMnO4 or HgClO4 had no significant effect on callus growth, somatic embryo induction and development. Reducing of ethylene biosynthesis by aminoethoxyvinylglycine substantially decreased somatic embryo production and adversely affected their development, indicating ethylene requirement during proliferation and differentiation but not induction.  相似文献

Petiveria alliacea L. is a medicinal plant originating from the Amazon region. This study describes an efficient cryopreservation protocol for somatic embryos (SEs) produced from roots of P. alliacea based on the comparison of vitrification, encapsulation-dehydration, and D cryo-plate techniques. With the vitrification technique, SEs treated with PVS2 solution (0.4 M sucrose, 3.3 M glycerol, 2.4 M ethylene glycol, and 1.9 M DMSO) for 30 min displayed high viability (85%) and intermediate proliferation recovery (about 12 adventitious SEs produced from original SEs [SEs/SE] after 90 d of culture). With the encapsulation-dehydration technique, lower viability (70%) and very low proliferation recovery (about two SEs/SE) were achieved with cryopreserved SEs dehydrated for 10 min in a laminar air flow cabinet. The D cryo-plate technique led to high viability (85%) and proliferation recovery (19 SEs/SE) of cryopreserved SEs after 90 min dehydration. In the experimental conditions tested, the D cryo-plate method was the most efficient technique for cryopreservation of P. alliacea SEs.  相似文献

Summary Proliferative somatic embryogenesis is a regeneration system suitable for mass propagation and genetic transformation of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. The objective of this study was to examine genotypic effects on induction and maintenance of proliferative embryogenic cultures, and on yield, germination, and conversion of mature somatic embryos. Somatic embryos were induced from eight genotypes by explanting 100 immature cotyledons per genotype on induction medium. Differences in frequency of induction were observed among genotypes. However, this step was not limiting for plant regeneration because induction frequency in the least responding genotype was sufficient to initiate and maintain proliferative embryogenic cultures. Six genotypes selected for further study were used to initiate embryogenic cultures in liquid medium. Cultures were evaluated for propagation of globular-stage tissue in liquid medium, yield of cotyledon-stage somatic embryos on differentiation medium, and plant recovery of cotyledon-stage embryos. Genotypes also differed for weight and volume increase of embryogenic tissue in liquid cultures, for yield of cotyledon-stage embryos on differentiation medium, and for plant recovery from cotyledon-stage embryos. Rigorous selection for a proliferative culture phenotype consisting of nodular, compact, green spheres increased embryo yield over that of unselected cultures, but did not affect the relative ranking of genotypes. In summary, the genotypes used in this study differed at each stage of plant regeneration from proliferative embryogenic cultures, but genotypic effects were partially overcome by protocol modifications.  相似文献

Cryopreservation of embryogenic tissue is an essential storage step in genotype selection and seedling production through somatic embryogenesis. To date, immature conifer somatic embryos, at the proliferation step, were only able to tolerate ultra low temperature after prior cryoprotectant treatments. We report a novel cryopreservation method for conifer (interior spruce and Douglas-fir) embryogenic tissue focusing on the maturation step of developing embryos that forgoes such cryoprotectant treatment. In this study, somatic embryos matured on culture media containing abscisic acid (ABA) at 20°C for 8 weeks. Typically, matured embryos in this manner were able to survive cryopreservation. The embryogenicity, however, decreased with increasing embryo maturity. Non-freezing low temperatures, such as 5°C, not only inhibited cotyledon development but also maintained embryogenicity. Cryotolerance was successfully induced when embryos were matured (or pretreated) under 5°C for a suitable culture period, typically 4–8 weeks. These embryos were able to survive a rapid cooling process and liquid nitrogen storage without the addition of any cryoprotectants. After cryopreservation, embryogenic tissue was recovered in both interior spruce and Douglas-fir. Embryo maturation tests indicated no difference in mature embryo yields with or without cryopreservation in interior spruce. The key factors inducing cryotolerance included ABA supplementation in culture media and low temperature pretreatment. Optimum combinations of these factors can result in high rates of tissue survival and high embryogenicity after cryopreservation.  相似文献

Encapsulated cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) somatic embryos subjected to 0.08–1.25 M sucrose treatments were analyzed for embryo soluble sugar content, non-freezable water content, moisture level after desiccation and viability after desiccation and freezing. Results indicated that the higher the sucrose concentration in the treatment medium, the greater was the extent of sucrose accumulation in the embryos. Sucrose treatment greatly assisted embryo post-desiccation recovery since only 40% of the control embryos survived desiccation, whereas a survival rate of 60–95% was recorded for embryos exposed to 0.5–1.25 M sucrose. The non-freezable water content of the embryos was estimated at between 0.26 and 0.61 g H2O g−1dw depending on the sucrose treatment, and no obvious relationship could be found between the endogenous sucrose level and the amount of non-freezable water in the embryos. Cocoa somatic embryos could withstand the loss of a fraction of their non-freezable water without losing viability following desiccation. Nevertheless, the complete removal of potentially freezable water was not sufficient for most embryos to survive freezing.  相似文献

A simplified technique which simultaneously induces and cryoprotects embryogenic calli using sucrose followed by dehydration was developed for the cryopreservation of cassava genetic resources. An initial experiment to optimise the sucrose concentration needed for both embryo production and cryoprotection showed that higher concentrations of sucrose—between 0.4 M and 0.5 M—significantly reduced the viability as well as the number of embryos produced by the embryogenic clumps in the absence of freezing. Post-thaw viability as well as embryogenic competence of clumps depended on the percentage moisture lost, duration of exposure to higher sucrose concentrations and the duration of induction of embryogenic clumps. Extending the period of cryoprotection to 21 days coupled with increased moisture loss (greater than 75%) significantly increased both post-thaw viability and the embryogenic competence of cryopreserved clumps to 95%, while reducing the duration decreased post-thaw viability. Cryopreserved callus clumps developed secondary and cyclic embryos similar to those of the non-cryopreserved controls. The optimised protocol was successfully applied to SM1-2075-1 Line 1 somatic embryos. The rate of plant recovery from cryopreserved embryos of both TME 9 and SM1-2075-1 Line 1 was comparable to that of the non-cryopreserved embryos. Successful cryopreservation of embryogenic clumps of cassava can be used to establish in vitro genebanks for long-term conservation of cassava genetic resources to complement field genebanks and other in vitro methods already being used.Communicated by M.R.

Shoot-tips and somatic embryos are the explants of choice for the in vitro long-term storage of ex situ plant genetic resources in liquid nitrogen. Cryopreservation of organized structures has significantly progressed, especially for species of tropical origin, with the development of several vitrification-based procedures such as encapsulation-dehydration, vitrification and droplet-vitrification approaches. They have allowed improvements in survival and recovery after cryopreservation compared with conventional crystallization-based protocols, proving their effectiveness for large scale application with embryos and shoot-tips of different plants. This review addresses the main physical and technological aspects involved in plant cryopreservation methods, illustrating the development of research with three cases: citrus, cassava and potato. These studies demonstrate how cryopreservation strategies are increasingly applied for their successful employment in the genebanks.  相似文献

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] somatic embryos of the cultivar Jack underwent histodifferentiation in liquid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 3% maltose, or according to the standard published procedure employing solidified MS media, permitting the recovery of an average of 8.1 and 3.9 embryos/mg of embryogenic tissue, respectively. Cotyledon-stage embryos that developed in liquid medium were ready for desiccation within 4 weeks, while the embryos from the standard procedure required a maturation step for an additional 4 weeks. Comparison of embryo development in MS medium with maltose or FN Lite-based medium without growth regulators and supplemented with maltose or an equimolar amount of sucrose revealed that sucrose promotes faster embryo histodifferentiation and maturation, and allows the recovery of up to 50% more mature, cotyledon-stage embryos within 3 weeks. The use of this liquid-medium-based protocol relative to the standard procedure led to a fourfold increase in the number of cotyledon-stage embryos recovered from other genotypes tested. In many cases, however, the percent germination was lower. Application of this new procedure also made it possible to harvest transgenic seed 9 months following biolistic bombardment, as compared to the 13 months required when the standard solid-medium-based protocol was used.

Regrowth capacity and genetic stability of plants recovered following cryopreservation are associated with changes in DNA epigenetics, particularly in DNA methylation levels. In this study, global DNA methylation profiles associated with frequency of regrowth of peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) somatic embryos following cryopreservation using droplet-vitrification were investigated. Somatic embryo clusters (SEC) subjected to plant vitrification solution 3 (PVS3) for different durations (0, 60, 120, 180, and 240 min) were evaluated for regrowth capacity. The highest frequency of regrowth (52.4 %) was obtained when SEC were incubated in PVS3 for 120 min prior to droplet-vitrification cryopreservation. Global DNA methylation profiles were influenced by both cryoprotectants and droplet-vitrification cryopreservation. Incubation of SEC in PVS3 for limited durations not only reduced frequency of regrowth, but also increased DNA methylations levels when compared with proliferating SEC grown in a temporary immersion system. Although SEC subjected to cryopreservation exhibited the highest DNA methylation variation, 120 min SEC incubation in a PVS3 solution resulted in the recovery of initial global methylation profiles after 24 weeks of regrowth.  相似文献

Microspore cryopreservation is a potentially powerful method for long-term storage of germplasm for in vitro embryo production in plant species. In this study, several factors influencing embryo production following the ultra-low temperature (–196 °C in liquid nitrogen) storage of isolated microspores of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) were investigated. Microspores were prepared in cryogenic vials and subjected to various cooling treatments before immersion in liquid nitrogen for varying periods. Efficiency of microspore cryopreservation was reflected by in vitro embryo production from frozen microspores. Of all the cooling treatments, microspores treated with a cooling rate of 0.25% °C/min and a cooling terminal temperature of –35 °C before immersion in liquid nitrogen produced the highest embryo yields (18% and 40% of unfrozen controls in two genotypes, respectively). Fast thawing in a 35 °C water bath was necessary to recover a high number of embryos from microspore samples being frozen at a higher cooling rate, while thawing speed did not affect samples after freezing at a slower cooling rate. The storage density of cryopreserved microspores affected embryo production. Storage at the normal culture density (8×104 microspores/ml) was less efficient for embryo production than at high densities (4×106 microspores/ml and 1.6×107 microspores/ml), although no significant difference was found between the high densities. Evaluation of plant lines derived from frozen microspores indicated no variation in isozyme pattern and no enhanced cold tolerance of these lines. Isolated microspores of B. napus could be stored for extended period for in vitro embryo production.  相似文献

The development of a vitrification method for cryopreservation of embryogenic lines from mature holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) trees is reported. Globular embryogenic clusters of three embryogenic lines grown on gelled medium, and embryogenic clumps of one line collected from liquid cultures, were used as samples. The effect of both high-sucrose preculture and dehydration by incubation in the PVS2 solution for 30–90 min, on both survival and maintenance of the differentiation ability was evaluated in somatic embryo explants with and without immersion into liquid nitrogen. Growth recovery of the treated samples and ability to differentiate cotyledonary embryos largely depended on genotype. Overall, high growth recovery frequencies on gelled medium and increase of fresh weight in liquid medium were obtained in all the tested lines, also after freezing. However, the differentiation ability of the embryogenic lines was severely hampered following immersion into LN. Two of the embryogenic lines from gelled medium were able to recover the differentiation ability, one not. In the lines with reduced or no differentiation ability, variation in the microsatellite markers was observed when comparing samples taken prior to and after cryopreservation. The best results were achieved in the genotype Q8 in which 80% of explants grown on gelled medium differentiated into cotyledonary embryos following cryopreservation when they were precultured on medium with 0.3 M sucrose and then incubated for 30 min in the PVS2 solution. Explants of the same genotype from liquid medium were unable to recover the differentiation ability. A 4-weeks storage period both in liquid nitrogen and in an ultra-low temperature freezer at −80 °C was also evaluated with four embryogenic lines from gelled medium using the best vitrification treatment. Growth recovery frequencies of all lines from the two storage systems were very high, but their differentiation ability was completely lost.  相似文献

Summary Rapidly growing cell suspension cultures of shepherd’s purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris L. Medic.) were established from leaf-derived calli. These suspensions remained unorganized in the presence of 2,4-D, but underwent extensive root organogenesis in a growth regulator-free liquid medium. Attempts to induce direct embryogenesis in liquid cultures were unsuccessful, but numerous embryos were obtained from cells plated onto growth-regulator-free solid medium. These embryos were frequently abnormal, and secondary embryogenesis was problematic for plant recovery but fertile plants were recovered. Viable protoplasts could readily be isolated from these cell suspensions. After 1 wk of culture, protoplast viability was 62%, and 7% of the cells had divided. Embryogenesis was observed from protoplast-derived microcolonies, plated on growth-regulator-free medium. Although these somatic embryos were difficult to root, plants were recovered. New cell suspensions were more recently established, which were only 4 to 6 mo. old when plant regeneration was attempted. Numerous shoots were obtained when these cells were plated onto growth-regulator-free solid media. However, these shoots differed from the embryos previously obtained in that they readily rooted and rapidly developed into plantlets. This system may allow the use of shepherd’s purse as a gene source for introgression of agronomically interesting traits intoBrassica crop species through protoplast manipulation and somatic hybridization.  相似文献

The objective of the current investigation was to study the role of ethylene in the maturation of white spruce ( Picea glauca [Moench.] Voss) somatic embryos. This was carried out by examining the effects of (1) 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), a direct precursor of ethylene in plant tissue, (2) silver nitrate (AgNO3), an inhibitor of ethylene action, (3) α -aminooxyamino acid (AOA), a potent inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis, and (4) enrichment with ethylene. Ethylene biosynthesis was biphasic and gradually increased during embryo development, whereas endogenous ACC and N-malonylaminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (mACC) decreased. Addition of ACC or AOA to the culture medium increased or decreased, respectively, ethylene biosynthesis by altering endogenous ACC levels during the culture period. In contrast to AOA and AgNO3, ACC and ethylene enrichment significantly decreased the production of mature somatic embryos and increased the browning of the cultures. However, the structure of the shoot apex in mature cotyledonary stage embryos formed under ethylene enrichment was similar to that in control systems. This shows that a reduction in ethylene is beneficial to maturation of white spruce somatic embryos. This is further substantiated by the finding that the inhibitory effects of AOA were partially reversed by the addition of ethylene. The possible effects of the interaction between ethylene and polyamines on somatic embryo development are also discussed.  相似文献

The production of ethylene and the endogenous content of polyamines (PAs) have been recorded during the early development, maturation and germination of holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) somatic embryos. Ethylene production was high in embryogenic callus, immature somatic embryos and in explants showing secondary embryogenesis, while it was lower in mature and germinating somatic embryos. A higher ethylene production was also associated to the process of secondary embryogenesis. The exogenous application of 1-amino-1-cyclohexane carboxylic acid was not significantly effective on the production of ethylene by holm oak somatic embryos. Total PAs were more abundant in embryogenic callus and in both somatic and zygotic immature embryos, decreasing later on in the mature and germination phases. Immature somatic embryos of holm oak and immature zygotic embryos contain high levels of spermidine (Spd), which decreased during maturation and germination. Spermine (Spm) concentration was lower than that of Spd. Spm was more abundant in embryogenic callus and immature zygotic embryos than in mature embryos. Ethylene production did not seem to interfere with PA metabolism.  相似文献

A meta-analysis of cryopreservation studies vitrifying mouse embryos was undertaken to determine the treatment effect of vitrification. Treatment by vitrification decreased embryo viability compared with controls: the odds ratio was 9.02 (CI: 3.73-21.78; P < 0.001), a 24.90% (CI: 14.88-34.91; P < 0.001) reduction in risk was associated with embryos in the control group, and for every 4.00 (CI: 3.91-4.09) embryos treated by vitrification, one does not survive. A multiple regression analysis evaluated covariates of embryo survival. For each hour increase post-hCG treatment when embryos were cryopreserved, there was a decrease of 0.36% (SEM ± 0.01) in survival (P < 0.001). The number of embryos surviving vitrification decreased 0.25% (SEM ± 0.02) per day increase in age of the female mouse (P < 0.001), whereas there was no significant difference for control group embryos. For each 1 h increase post-hCG treatment after cryopreservation when blastocysts were assessed for viability, there was a decrease of 0.13% (SEM ± 0.01) in survival. The later interval post-hCG treatment when blastocysts were assessed, the less viable they were compared with earlier blastocysts, independent of the vitrification protocol. This effect was not observed for control embryos. A high percentage of variability in the treatment effect for vitrification was likely due to underlying heterogeneity among studies. A portion of the risk associated with vitrification could be attributed to the general effects of cryopreservation. Future research should identify effects in a cryopreservation protocol specific to vitrification that affect viability of mouse embryos.  相似文献

Somatic embryogenesis induction and somatic embryo development of the solanaceous tamarillo tree were previously established and successfully used for plant regeneration from different explants and varieties. Somatic embryogenesis was induced in Murashige and Skoog medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) or picloram and high sucrose concentrations (0.25 M). The embryogenic tissues were transferred to an auxin-free medium, with reduced sucrose levels, to permit embryo development and conversion into plantlets. This two-step protocol is often impaired by an ineffective transition from the proembryogenic masses to embryo development. In this work, attempts to optimize the somatic embryogenesis system of tamarillo by improving the quality of somatic embryo and embryo conversion were carried out. The results showed that the presence of a high number of abnormal somatic embryos did not significantly inhibit plant conversion, hence indicating that shoot apical meristem development was not affected in abnormal somatic embryos. It was also shown that the manipulation of sucrose concentration in the development medium (0.11 M) and dark conditions before conversion increased the number of morphologically normal somatic embryos. The comparison between mature cotyledonary zygotic and somatic embryos showed an inefficient accumulation of storage compounds, mainly lipids, in somatic embryos. These reduced levels of lipid storage could be responsible for the abnormal patterns of embryo development found in tamarillo somatic embryos.  相似文献

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Norstar) suspension cultures and regenerable calli initiated from immature embryos can be cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen temperature (–196°C) by slow freezing (0.5°C/min) in the presence of a mixture of DMSO and sucrose or sorbitol. Cold hardening or ABA treatment before cryopreservation increased the freezing resistance and improved the survival of wheat suspension culture in liquid nitrogen. Callus culture, established from immature embryos, prefrozen in 5% DMSO and 0.5M sorbitol survived liquid nitrogen storage and resumed plant regeneration after thawing. The results confirm the feasibility of long term preservation of wheat embryo callus by cryopreservation and retention of plant regeneration ability.Abbreviations ABA Abscisic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - DMSO Dimethylsulfoxide - LN Liquid nitrogen - TTC 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride NRCC No. 23850.  相似文献

The exploitation of the domestic animals species of South American camelids is of great social importance for the native people living in the High Andes. The reproductive physiology of these species is a unique challenge in the development of advanced breeding techniques. At present, the cryopreservation of embryos has not been developed and very few investigations have been conducted. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the in vivo survival of vitrified llama embryos after transfer to recipient females. Donors females were treated with a CIDR-estradiol benzoate-eCG regimen and were mated naturally 6 days after CIDR withdrawal. One ovulatory dose (8 microg) of GnRH was administered immediately after mating. A second mating was allowed 24 h later. Embryo recovery was performed nonsurgically between 8 and 8.5 days after the first mating. Twenty-two ova/embryos were recovered from 12 donor females. Hatched blastocysts were exposed to vitrification solution (20% glycerol + 20% ethylene glycol + 0.3 M sucrose + 0.375 M glucose + 3% polyethylene glycol (P/V)) in three steps, and after loading into 0.25 ml straws, were plunged into liquid nitrogen. For embryo transfer, recipients animals were ovulation-synchronized using GnRH administered at the same time as donors. A total of eight vitrified-warmed embryos and 12 fresh embryos were nonsurgically transferred to four and six recipient females, respectively (two embryo per recipient). The pregnancy rates were 50 and 33.3% for recipients that had received vitrified embryos and fresh embryos, respectively. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of this simple vitrification method for cryopreservation of llama embryos.  相似文献
