This report describes the successful plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis from immature zygotic embryos of Cryptomeria japonica D. Don. For the induction of embryogenic tissue, we determined that the optimal medium contained N6-benzyladenine and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Immature zygotic embryos that were collected at the end of June yielded embryogenic tissue at the highest frequency. Embryogenic tissues that had proliferated in liquid medium included small and loosely packed cells and elongating or elongated cells. We used ten cell lines to determine the optimal medium for the development of somatic embryos. Induced somatic embryos germinated with synchronous sprouting of cotyledons, hypocotyls and roots. Gibberellin A3 in the germination medium had a positive effect on both the elongation of hypocotyls and the survival of seedlings. The frequencies of induction and germination of somatic embryos differed among the cell lines examined. Most of the seedlings grew normally. This system of somatic embryogenesis required 4–5 months for the regeneration of C. japonica plantlets from immature zygotic embryos.Abbreviations ABA Abscisic acid - BA N6-Benzyladenine - 2,4-D 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - GA3 Gibberellin A3Communicated by F.

Polyethylene glycol and abscisic acid improve maturation and regeneration of<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Panax ginseng</Emphasis> somatic embryos 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Embryogenic culture was initiated from mature zygotic embryos of Panax ginseng. Multiple somatic embryos formed and proliferated on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2.26 M) and kinetin (0.046 M). Mature as well as immature somatic embryos grew into plantlets lacking roots on the same media. Histomorphological analysis of somatic embryos treated with abscisic acid (ABA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG 4000) showed a slight improvement in the root meristem organization of torpedo-stage embryos (embryos were more compact and their cells exhibited a lower degree of vacuolation). Shoot regeneration of non-treated somatic embryos was 31% while that for somatic embryos treated with PEG 4000 and ABA was 70%. Moreover, 75% of plants regenerated from PEG- and ABA-treated embryos formed roots while plants from non-treated embryos did not form roots.Abbreviations

In this work, three dehydrin genes, QrDhn1, QrDhn2, QrDhn3, were isolated from recalcitrant oak (Quercus robur). Their expression pattern was analyzed in both zygotic and somatic embryos as well as in vegetative tissues exposed to different
kinds of abiotic stresses including desiccation, osmotic stress, and chilling. The QrDhn1 gene encoding for YnSKn type dehydrin was expressed during later stages of zygotic embryo development but in somatic embryos only when exposed to
osmotic or desiccation stress. In contrast, the other two oak dehydrin genes encoding for putative Kn type dehydrins were expressed only in somatic embryos (both not-treated and osmotically stressed) and leaves of oak seedlings
exposed to desiccation. Behavior of these genes suggests that different dehydrins are involved in processes of seed maturation
and response to altered osmotic (water status) conditions in somatic embryos. Revealing further members of dehydrin gene family
in recalcitrant oak might contribute to clarify non-orthodox seed behavior as well as identify mechanisms contributing to
desiccation tolerance in plants. 相似文献

Summary Suspension culture of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) has been an inefficient method for production of somatic embryos owing to problems with embryo maturation and conversion.
Embryogenic callus of cv. Green Long was induced on semisolid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 6.8 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2.2 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). A large number of globular somatic embryos were obtained on transfer of the callus to MS liquid
medium supplemented with 87.6 mM sucrose, 1.1 μM 2,4-D, and improved by the addition of 342.4 μM
l-glutamine. MS medium supplemented with 87.6 mM sucrose was more effective in somatic embryo production than other sugars. Subsequent development led to the formation of
heart-and torpedo-shaped embryos. Maturation of somatic embryos occurred on plant growth regulator-free MS semi-solid medium
containing 175.2 mM sucrose and 0.5 gl−1 activated charcoal. Conversion of embryos into plants was achieved on half-strength MS semi-solid medium containing 87.6
mM sucrose and 1.4 μM gibberellic acid (GA3) in a 16h photoperiod. Twenty-seven percent of embryos were converted into normal plants. 相似文献

Summary A novel protocol has been developed for inducing somatic embryogenesis from leaf cultures of Decalepis hamiltonii. Callus was obtained from leaf sections in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA)+N6-benzyladenine (BA) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)+BA. Nodular embryogenic callus developed from the cut end of
explants on media containing 2,4-D and BA, whereas compact callus developed on media containing NAA and BA. Upon subsequent
transfer of explants with primary callus onto MS media containing zeatin and/or gibberellic acid (GA3) and BA, treatment with zeatin (13.68μM) and BA (10.65 μM) resulted in the induction of the highest number of somatic embryos directly from nodular tissue. The maturation of embryos
took place along with the induction on the same medium. Embryogenic calluses with somatic embryos were subcultured onto MS
basal medium supplemented with 4.56μM zeatin+10.65 μM BA. After 4wk, more extensive differentiation of somatic embryos was observed. The mature embryos developed into complete
plantlets on growth regulator-free MS medium. A distinct feature of this study is the induction of somatic embryogenesis from
leaf explants of Decalepis hamiltonii, which has not been reported previously. By using this protocol, complete plantlets could be regenerated through indirect
somatic embryogenesis or organogenesis from leaf explants in 12–16 wk. 相似文献

Summary Desiccation tolerance can be induced by culturing somatic embryos of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) on medium supplemented with 50 μM abscisic acid (ABA) and/or 8.5% polyethylene glycol (PEG6000). Scanning electron microscopy of desiccated somatic embryos showed that the size and external morphology of the desiccation-tolerant
somatic embryos recovered to the pre-desiccation state within 24–36 h, whereas the non-desiccation-tolerant somatic embryos
did not recover and remained shriveled, after rehydration. Peroxidase activity of desiccated somatic embryos increased sharply
after 1 d of desiccation treatment at 87% relative humidity (RH), and desiccation-tolerant somatic embryos had higher peroxidase
activity compared to sensitive somatic embryos. Higher peroxidase activity of desiccation-tolerant somatic embryos may have
allowed them to catalyze the reduction of H2O2 produced by drought stress, and protected them from oxidative damage. 相似文献

Summary
Kalopanax pictus (Thunb.) Nakai is a tall tree, and its wood has been used in making furniture, while its stem bark is used for medicinal
purposes. Here, we report on the micropropagation of Kalopanax pictus via somatic embryogenesis. Embryogenic callus was induced from immature zygotic embryos. The frequency embryogenic callus
induction is influenced by days of seed harvest. Callus formation was primarily observed along the radicle tips of zygotic
embryos incubated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 4.4 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacctic acid (2,4-D). Somatic embryogenesis was observed following transfer of embryogenic callus to MS
medium lacking 2,4-D. Somatic embryos at the cotyledonary stage were obtained after 6 wk following culture. Frequency of conversion
of somatic embryos into plantlets was low (35%) on a hormone-free MS basal medium, but it increased to 61% when the medium
was supplemented with 0.05% charcoal. Gibberellic acid (GA3) treatment markedly enhanced the germination frequency of embryos up to 83%. All plantlets obtained showed 98% survival on
moist peat soil (TKS2) artificial soil matrix. About 30 000 Kalopanax pictus plants were propagated via somatic embryogenesis and grown to 3-yr-old plants. These results indicate that production of
woody medicinal Kalopanax pictus plantlets through somatic embryogenesis can be practically applicable for propagation. 相似文献

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) was induced in female flower buds from mature Schisandra chinensis cultivar ‘Hongzhenzhu’. Somatic embryo structures were induced at a low frequency from unopened female flower buds and excised
unopened on Murashige and Skoog (MS) agar medium containing 4.0 mg l−1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Friable embryogenic calli were induced from somatic embryo structures after three
to four subcultures on initiation medium. The frequencies of mature somatic embryo germination and plantlet conversion were
low, but increased in the presence of gibberellic acid (GA3). Some germinated somatic embryos could form friable embryogenic calli on medium without plant growth regulators (PGRs).
The germination and conversion frequencies of somatic embryos from embryogenic calli induced using PGR-free medium were higher
than for somatic embryos from embryogenic calli induced on medium containing 2,4-D. Most somatic embryos from 2,4-D-induced
embryogenic calli had trumpet-shaped embryos, and most somatic embryos from PGR-free medium–induced embryogenic calli had
two or three cotyledons. Histological observation indicated that two- and three-cotyledon embryos had defined shoot primordia,
but most of the trumpet-shaped embryos yielded plantlets that lacked or had poorly developed meristem tissue. Cytological
and random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analyses indicated no evidence of genetic variation in the plantlets of
somatic embryo origin. 相似文献

Summary Cotyledonary somatic embryos ofLarix × leptoeuropaea that developed after various maturation times on media containing abscisic acid showed different frequencies of conversion
into plants. Drying of these somatic embryos under high relative humidity (RH) before germination improved plantlet recovery
and eliminated differences in the performance of somatic embryos matured for different times. However, dehydration of somatic
embryos under 98% RH to a water content below that of zygotic embryos excised from mature seeds (0.97 and 1.36 g H2O/g dry weight, respectively) showed a strong positive correlation between longer maturation time and desiccation tolerance.
Drying somatic embryos at 4° C under 59% RH for 1 wk resulted in desiccation to a water content of 0.30 g H2O/g dry weight, which was the closest to the hydration state of zygotic embryos in dried, stored seeds (0.20 g H2O/g dry weight). Under this condition, only somatic embryos matured for 5 wk germinated and produced plantlets at a relatively
high frequency (73 and 41%, respectively). 相似文献

We describe culture conditions for a high-efficiency in vitro regeneration system of Papaver
nudicaule through somatic embryogenesis and secondary somatic embryogenesis. The embryogenic callus induction rate was highest when
petiole explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 1.0 mg l−1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.1 mg l−1 6-benzyladenine (BA) (36.7%). When transferred to plant growth regulator (PGR)-free medium, 430 somatic embryos formed asynchronously
from 90 mg of embryogenic callus in each 100-ml flask. Early-stage somatic embryos were transferred to MS medium containing
1.0 mg l−1 BA and 1.0 mg l−1 NAA to germinate at high frequency (97.6%). One-third-strength MS medium with 1.0% sucrose and 1.0 mg l−1 GA3 had the highest frequency of plantlet conversion from somatic embryos (91.2%). Over 90% of regenerated plantlets were successfully
acclimated in the greenhouse. Secondary somatic embryos were frequently induced directly when the excised hypocotyls of the
primary somatic embryos were cultured on MS medium without PGRs. Sucrose concentration significantly affected the induction
of secondary embryos. The highest induction rate (89.5) and number of secondary somatic embryos per explant (9.3) were obtained
by 1% sucrose. Most secondary embryos (87.2–94.3%) developed into the cotyledonary stage on induction medium. All cotyledonary
secondary embryos were converted into plantlets both in liquid and on semisolid 1/3-strength MS medium with 1.0% sucrose. 相似文献

Plants of a diploid wild cotton species (G. klotzschianum A.) were efficiently regenerated from protoplasts isolated from immature somatic embryos and suspension cultures by studying various factors affecting regeneration. Purified protoplasts were cultured with the density of 2–10×105 ml−1, and the medium was k3 inorganic salts with modified KM8P organic compositions, supplemented with several combinations of PGRs. Calluses were formed from protoplasts of suspension cultures and immature somatic embryos. The influences of carbon sources and GA3 on callus differentiation and somatic embryo germination were analyzed. Somatic embryos germinated normally and formed regenerated plantlets. Regenerated plantlets were transferred to the soil and seeds were obtained. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis using 80 arbitrary oligonucleotide 10-mers showed 23 primers that gave 74 clear reproducible bands, with amplification products being monomorphic for 14 tested plantlets. A total of 1036 bands obtained exhibited no aberration in RAPD banding patterns in the 14 plants. Plants regenerated via somatic embryogenesis from the diploid cotton protoplasts have genetic homogeneity. 相似文献

Direct somatic embryogenesis and synthetic seed production from<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Paulownia elongata</Emphasis> 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
We have developed a reproducible system for efficient direct somatic embryogenesis from leaf and internodal explants of Paulownia elongata. The somatic embryos obtained were subsequently encapsulated as single embryos to produce synthetic seeds. Several plant growth regulators [6-benzylaminopurine, indole-3-acetic acid, -naphthaleneacetic acid, kinetin and thidiazuron (TDZ)] alone or in combination were tested for their capacity to induce somatic embryogenesis. The highest induction frequencies of somatic embryos were obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 3% sucrose, 0.6% Phytagel, 500 mg l-1 casein hydrolysate and 10 mg l-1 TDZ (medium MS10). Somatic embryos were induced from leaf (69.8%) and internode (58.5%) explants on MS10 medium after 7 days. Subsequent withdrawal of TDZ from the induction medium resulted in the maturation and growth of the embryos into plantlets on MS basal media. The maturation frequency of somatic embryos from leaf and internodal explants was 50.8% and 45.8%, respectively. Subculturing of mature embryos led to their germination on the same medium with a germination frequency of 50.1% and 29.8% from leaf and internode explants, respectively. Somatic embryos obtained directly on leaf explants were used for encapsulation in liquid MS medium containing different concentrations of sodium alginate with a 30-min exposure to 50 mM CaCl2. A 3% sodium alginate concentration provided a uniform encapsulation of the embryos with survival and germination frequencies of 73.7% and 53.3%, respectively. Storage at 4°C for 30 days or 60 days significantly reduced the survival and complete germination frequencies of both encapsulated and non-encapsulated embryos relative to those of non-stored somatic embryos. However, the survival and germination rates of encapsulated embryos increased following storage at 4°C. After 30 days or 60 days of storage, the survival rates of encapsulated embryos were 67.8% and 53.5% and the germination frequencies were 43.2% and 32.4%, respectively. These systems could be useful for the rapid clonal propagation and dissemination of synthetic seed material of Paulownia elongata.Abbreviations BAP 6-Benzylaminopurine - IAA Indole-3-acetic acid - NAA -Naphthaleneacetic acid - TDZ ThidiazuronCommunicated by H.

Summary Somatic embryos could be induced from embryogenic callus originating from mesocotyl as well as leaf-base segments of Paspalum scrobiculatum on Murashige and Skoog (MS) or Chu et al. (N6) medium supplemented with different concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D; 4.5, 9.0, 18.0, and 22.5 μM). N6 medium was better than MS, for both explants, for high-frequency somatic embryogenesis. Also, mesocotyl tissues were relatively
more totipotent than leaf-base segments. The somatic embryos ‘germinated’ and formed plantlets on transfer of embryogenic
calluses to hormone-free MS or N6 regeneration medium. Embryogenic cultures could be maintained on low hormone medium which readily regenerated to form plantlets
on hormone-free medium. A higher frequency of plantlet formation occurred on MS than on N6 medium. In vitro-formed plantlets were gradually acclimatized in the culture room and on transfer to soil flowered and set seed. Somatic embryogenesis
and plantlet regeneration from mesocotyl and leaf-base segments are potentially simpler systems than regeneration from ‘embryonic’
explants such as immature embryos and unemerged inflorescences. 相似文献

Summary A protocol was developed for high frequency somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants
of Eruca sativa. Explants grown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.52 μM 2,4-D formed embryogenic callus after 4 wk of culture. Secondary somatic embryos were also produced from primary somatic
embryos on MS medium containing 0.56 μM 2,4-D. Somatic embryos developed into mature embryos on MS medium in the presence of 45 gl−1 polyethylene glycol. After desiccation, somatic embryos developed into plantlets by culturing the mature somatic embryos
on 1/2 x MS medium containing 0.24 μM indole-3-butyric acid. 相似文献

Embryogenic cultures and somatic embryos were obtained from immature zygotic embryos of oak (Quercus robur L.) cultured on a modified MS medium and WPM containing BAP (1 mg·l–1) and GA3 (1 mg·l–1) or BAP and IBA. Germination and conversion of oak somatic embryos into plantlets was achieved on WPM containing a reduced concentration of cytokinin. Linden (Tilia cordata Mill.) somatic embryos developed in embryogenic tissues initiated from immature zygotic embryos cultured on a modified MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D (0.3-2.0 mg·l–1). Germination of linden somatic embryos and plantlet formation occurred on MS medium containing a low concentration of IBA. Oak and linden plantlets produced from somatic embryos were successfully established in soil. Somatic embryos and plantlets were also regenerated from embryogenic cultures of Quercus petraea and Tilia platyphyllos.Abbreviations BAP

Summary
In vitro propagation of Quassia amara L. (Simaroubaceae) was attempted using mature and juvenile explants. Attempts to establish in vitro culture using leaf and internode explants from a plant more than 15yr old were unsuccessful due to severe phenolic exudation.
Plant regeneration through direct and indirect somatic embryogenesis was established from cotyledon explants. Murashige and
Skoog (MS) medium with 8.9 μM N6-benzyladenine (BA) and 11.7 μM silver nitrate induced the highest number (mean of 32.4 embryos per cotyledon) of somatic embryos. Direct somatic embryogenesis
as well as callus formation was observed on medium with BA (8.9–13.3 μM). Semi-mature pale green cotyledons were superior for the induction of somatic embryos. Embryos developed from the adaxial
side as well as from the point of excision of the embryonic axis. More embryos were developed on the proximal end compared
to mid and distal regions of the cotyledons. Subculture of callus (developed along with the somatic embryos on medium with
BA alone) onto medium containing 8.9 μM BA and 11.7 μM silver nitrate produced a mean of 17.1 somatic embryos. Primary somatic embryos cultured on MS medium with 8.9 μM BA and 11.7μM silver nitrate produced a mean of 9.4 secondary somatic embryos. Most of the embryos developed up to early cotyledonary stage.
Reduced concentration of BA (2.2 or 4.4 μM) improved maturation and conversion of embryos to plantlets. Ninety percent of the embryos converted to plantlets. The optimized
protocol facilitated recovery of 30 plantlets per cotyledon explant within 80d. Plantlets transferred to small cups were subsequently
transferred to field conditions with a survival rate of 90%. 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

Summary The effects of increasing concentrations of NaCl and CaCl2 on quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill. BA 29 clone) somatic embryogenesis and adventitious root regeneration were investigated. Leaves collected from in vitro-grown shoots were used as explants and induced for 2d in liquid Murashige and Skoog medium containing 11.3 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Explants were then cultured on semisolid Murashige and Skoog medium enriched with 4.7 μM kinetin and 0.5 μM naphthaleneacetic acid under red light for 25 d and under white light for another 25 d. Two experiments were performed: in
the first, NaCl was used at 0,25, 50, 100, and 200 mM in factorial combination with CaCl2 at 3, 9, and 27 mM; in the second, NaCl was applied at 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 mM in combination with CaCl2 at 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 mM. Quince leaves revealed the capacity to regenerate somatic embryos and/or adventitious roots. Quantitative and qualitative
regeneration from leaves was affected by NaCl treatments: increasing NaCl concentrations, in combination with CaCl2 at 1 mM, led to an increase in the proportion of leaves producing somatic embryos only, and to a decrease of both leaves regenerating
roots only and leaves simultaneously producing somatic embryos and adventitious roots. This suggests a beneficial effect of
salt stress on the embryogenic process. The regeneration response decreased with increasing salt concentrations and was almost
totally inhibited above 50 mM NaCl and 9 mM CaCl2. The presence of CaCl2 in the culture medium apparently mitigated the effects of salt stress, but only when NaCl was applied at 40 mM. NaCl at 5 mM, in the presence of 0.3 or 1 mM CaCl2, was favorable both to somatic embryo and root production. No value of the ratio Na+/Ca2+ was found to be optimal for the regeneration processes. 相似文献

Somatic embryogenesis was developed as a method of mass propagation for Lepidosperma drummondii (Cyperaceae), a difficult to propagate but important species for post-mining restoration in a region of high plant biodiversity,
in the southwest of Western Australia. Cultures were initiated from excised zygotic embryos, shoot cultures to rhizomes. Only
zygotic embryos of L. drummondii developed somatic embryos, with half strength Murashige and Skoog basal medium (BM) and 1 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
(2,4-D) being the most effective combination. The first culture cycle yielded a mean of 30 somatic embryos per excised zygotic
embryo forming an embryo cluster. After a further 6 wk in culture (on fresh BM with 1 μM 2,4-D), approximately 350 somatic
embryos per starting embryo cluster were recorded. Following regular sub-culturing of primary somatic embryo clusters onto
fresh media (every 4 wk), more than 74,000 secondary somatic embryos were estimated to have been produced after eight subculture
periods. This translates to between 1,000 and 2,000 somatic embryos produced from an estimated 45 mg of starting tissue per
culture plate or potentially 22,0000–44,000 somatic embryos per gram of tissue. This is a significant improvement over all
previous methods used to propagate L. drummondii, in which typical in vitro shoot multiplication rates are as low as 1.43 per 8 wk. This also compared favourably with published data and concurrent
experiments undertaken in this study (as an extra control measure) on somatic embryo production for a related species Baloskion tetraphyllum (using the same BM with 1 μM 2,4-D and coleoptile segments as explants). Various media combinations were investigated for
efficacy in converting somatic embryos into plants with best results ranging from 86% to 100% conversion for B. tetraphyllum on BM without plant growth regulators. Development of L. drummondii somatic embryos into plants was not observed on BM without plant growth regulators. However, a best result of 39% conversion
to plants was observed on BM with 1 μM thidiazuron. This is the first report of successful development of somatic embryogenesis
and conversion of somatic embryos into plants using thidiazuron for the Australian cyperale L. drummondii. 相似文献
