植物花发育的分子机理研究进展

花的发育分为开花决定、花的发端和花器官的发育三个阶段。植物开花由多条途径诱导,包括光周期和光质诱导、春化作用、自主途径、赤霉素诱导、碳水化合物诱导等;植物体本身也存在着开花抑制途径。各种开花诱导途径能激活花分生组织特性基因,使茎端分生组织转变为花分生组织。花器官的发育由器官特性基因决定,这些基因的精确表达需要花分生组织特性基因的激活和多个正、负调节因子的调控;另有一类基因控制着花发育的对称性。花发育机理的研究具有重要的理论意义和广泛的应用前景。

Successful plant regeneration from callus cultures of Centella asiatica (Linn.) Urban

A successful procedure was established for in vitro plant regeneration from callus derived from stem and leaf explants of Centella asiatica on semisolid modified Murashige and Skoog's [7] medium supplemented with 2.0 mg L³ kinetin and 4.0 mg L³ a-naphthaleneacetic acid. The rate of shoot-bud regeneration was the highest (42.8 and 54.3 shoots/culture in stem and leaf derived callus respectively) after 4 weeks of subculture on 4.0 mg L³ 6-benzyladenine, 2.0 mg L³ Kn, 0.25 mg L³ a-naphthaleneacetic acid and 20 mg L³ adenine sulfate. Differentiated shoots rooted within 11 days in 1/2 strength MS basal salts supplemented with 0.5 mg L³ indole-3-acetic acid and 2% (w/v) sucrose. About 85% of rooted plantlets were acclimatized and transferred to the greenhouse.     

Strategies to enhance biologically active-secondary metabolites in cell cultures of Artemisia – current trends

The genus Artemisia has been utilized worldwide due to its immense potential for protection against various diseases, especially malaria. Artemisia absinthium, previously renowned for its utilization in the popular beverage absinthe, is gaining resurgence due to its extensive pharmacological activities. Like A. annua, this species exhibits strong biological activities like antimalarial, anticancer and antioxidant. Although artemisinin was found to be the major metabolite for its antimalarial effects, several flavonoids and terpenoids are considered to possess biological activities when used alone and also to synergistically boost the bioavailability of artemisinin. However, due to the limited quantities of these metabolites in wild plants, in vitro cultures were established and strategies have been adopted to enhance medicinally important secondary metabolites in these cultures. This review elaborates on the traditional medicinal uses of Artemisia species and explains current trends to establish cell cultures of A. annua and A. absinthium for enhanced production of medicinally important secondary metabolites.     

1. Rejuvenation of forest trees

Phase change, or maturation, in woody plants not only results in changes in growth behavior, but results in increased difficulty in vegetatively propagating select individuals. The process of maturation in woody plants is discussed, with emphasis on methods for reversal of the process, including use of plant growth regulators and tissue culture. Since maturation is manifested by changes in growth behavior, foliar morphology, phyllotaxy, reproductive competence, in addition to numerous other traits, care must be taken to evaluate the effectiveness of rejuvenation methods in terms of all of these traits. Several hypotheses on the mechanism for phase change are discussed.     

Experimental control of floral reversion in isolated shoot apices of the long-day plant Silene coeli-rosa

The fate of shoot meristems of the long day (LD) plant Silene coeli-rosa in culture was examined (complete, reverted or arrested flowers) to establish whether these different patterns were related to a particular stage of morphogenesis and the extent to which the fate of the pattern was regulated by either added plant growth regulators (PGRs) or changing the carbohydrate source in the medium. In particular, the frequency of reversion was measured to test the stability of the determined state for each whorl. The plants were given various inductive treatments (4–7 LD, 7 LD + 1 to 3 SD) and the apices were explained onto Murashige-Skoog medium supplemented with 3% sucrose (controls) ± IAA, ± kinetin, ± GA₃ or onto the basal medium containing 1 or 3% sucrose, glucose or fructose or 7% sucrose. The apices were examined 12 weeks later. When the data were pooled from all inductive treatments, IAA resulted in more reversions, GA₃ caused more arrested flowers while kinetin hardly affected the pattern of meristem fate compared with the controls. However, each PGR treatment did not perturb the pattern of organ formation for those apices that formed either arrested or complete flowers. The time for determination (days) of the earlier formed whorls (determination times for the controls in brackets): sepals (2), stamens 1–5 (3) and petals (3), was shortened by about a day in all PGR treatments whereas the corresponding times for the later formed whorls: stamens 6–10 (4) and carpels (4), were either lengthened to 5 days or unaffected. The response of the apices to the various sugars was simply a reflection of concentration. Hence, more complete flowers formed at 7 or 3% and more flowers were arrested at 1 % regardless of the sugar moiety. However, the frequency of reversion was similar on each of the media. Pooling all data from all treatments enabled a statistical analysis of the pattern of reversion and the pattern of arrest. Reversion was more common from apices which exhibited the later-formed whorls (stamens 6–10 and carpels) than from the earlier whorls. Moreover, the stronger the inductive treatment the less frequent was reversion. The most common stage of arrest was at the stamen 6–10 whorl and this was particularly so for the GA₃ treatment. The data indicated that reversion could occur from any whorl, which suggests that determination of each whorl is independent of the next. This conclusion is underlined by the more frequent occurrence of reversion from the carpel whorl. However, the longer the inductive treatment the less likelihood of reversion; this suggests that in Silene, the floral stimulus is required continuously to stabilise the determined state of each whorl and to ensure smooth completion of floral morphogenesis.     

Plant regeneration from somatic tissue of Rhododendron laetum x aurigeranum

The influence of the source of plant material (greenhouse-grown plants or in vitro shoot cultures), the type of tissue explant (shoot-tip, single-node stem segment, whole leaf, leaf strip or half-leaf section) and growth regulator concentration on shoot regeneration from somatic tissue of Rhododendron laetum × aurigeranum was evaluated. No regeneration response was obtained on explants from greenhouse-grown plants. Adventitious shoots were obtained from callus produced at the basal end of shoot-tip and single-node stem segment explants derived from in vitro-grown shoots cultured on Anderson's medium supplemented with 22.8 M IAA and 73.8 M 2iP. The greatest percentage of adventitious shoot regeneration (77%) was induced on leaf sections cultured in the presence of 22.8 M IAA and 147.6 M 2iP. Plant regeneration was accomplished with minimal callus formation. This technique represents a further step toward gene manipulation of Rhododendron.Abbreviations IAA 1-H-Indole-3-acetic acid - 2iP N-(3-methyl-2-Butenyl)-1H-purin-6 amine     

Regeneration of roots from callus reveals stability of the developmental program for determinate root growth in Sonoran Desert Cactaceae

In some Sonoran Desert Cactaceae the primary root has a determinate root growth: the cells of the root apical meristem undergo only a few cell division cycles and then differentiate. The determinate growth of primary roots in Cactaceae was found in plants cultivated under various growth conditions, and could not be reverted by any treatment tested. The mechanisms involved in root meristem maintenance and determinate root growth in plants remain poorly understood. In this study, we have shown that roots regenerated from the callus of two Cactaceae species, Stenocereus gummosus and Ferocactus peninsulae, have a determinate growth pattern, similar to that of the primary root. To demonstrate this, a protocol for root regeneration from callus was established. The determinate growth pattern of roots regenerated from callus suggests that the program of root development is very stable in these species. These findings will permit future analysis of the role of certain Cactaceae genes in the determinate pattern of root growth via the regeneration of transgenic roots from transformed calli.     

Efficient Regeneration of Tetraploid Isatis indigotica Plants via Adventitious Organogenesis from Hypocotyl Explants

An efficient in vitro plant regeneration system via hypocotyl segments of tetraploid Isatis indigotica Fort. was established. Murashige and Skoog's (MS) and Gamborg's (GB₅) media were found to be superior to White medium for promoting shoot regeneration. The highest shoot regeneration (92 %) was achieved from hypocotyls cultured on MS medium containing 8.9 M benzyladenine (BA) and 2.7 M naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), with an average of 4.2 shoots developed per explant. Plant regeneration was also improved when the explants were cultured in MS basal medium containing 3 % (m/v) sucrose and grown under a 12-h photoperiod. The developed shoots were well rooted in a half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.5 M indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and were morphologically normal after transfer to soil.     

Thidiazuron promotes adventitious shoot regeneration from pothos (Epipremnum aureum) leaf and petiole explants

Summary Regeneration of adventitious shoots of pothos (Epipremnum aureum Linden and Andre) ‘Jade’ was obtained using leaf and petiole explants preprated from shoot tips of 3-yr-old greenhouse-grown plants. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with thidiazuron (TDZ), 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methy-trans-2-butenyl-amino)purine (zeatin) or N-isopentenylaminopurine (2iP) individually with α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) in 18 combinations. Callus was initiated from cut surface and along the midrib or major vein of leaf sections. Shoot regeneration from leaf and petoole explants occurred in 30d on medium containing 1, 5 or 10μM TDZ with 0.5 or 1.0μM NAA except petioles on medium with 10 μM TDZ and 1.0 μM NAA where regeneration failed. More time (50d) was needed for shoot regeneration when explants were cultured on medium containing either 2iP or zeatin with NAA. Regeneration frequencies were up to 20% and 50% for leaf and petiole explants, respectively. Shoot numbers per responding explant attained 30 for leaf and petiole explants on medium containing TDZ but only one to four on medium containing either 2iP or zeatin. These results indicate that TDZ is a more effective cytokinin for in vitro regeneration of pothos than either zeatin or 2iP.. Shoots elongated readily and rooted well on MS basal medium, without plant growth regulators. Plantlets acclimatized rapidly and grew vigorously in the greenhouse after transfer to pots containing a commerecial potting medium.
