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

Immature and mature zygotic embryos of Paspalum scrobiculatum L. cv. PSC 1 cultured on MS or N6 nutrient medium supplemented with different concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), formed embryogenic callus. Induction of embryogenic callus and subsequent somatic embryogenesis was possible at a lower concentration of 2,4-D on N6 than MS medium. Immature embryos were highly totipotent, forming somatic embryos at a higher frequency than mature embryos. Addition of amino acids (L-proline or L-tryptophan) to 2,4-D medium resulted in significant enhancement of embryogenesis on culture of mature embryos. Silver nitrate also supported an increased frequency of embryogenesis. Thus it is possible to have high frequency of somatic embryogenesis on culture of mature embryos, which are available in abundance and with ease than immature embryos. The somatic embryos readily germinated and formed plantlets on hormone-free regeneration medium. The regenerated plantlets were successful on transfer to soil and set seed. 相似文献

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

Efficient plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis was achieved in Polyscias filicifolia. Embryogenic calluses were induced on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l−1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 1.0 mg l−1 benzylaminopurine (BAP; type I callus) and on MS medium with 2.0 mg l−1 2,4-D and 0.01 mg l−1 kinetin (type II callus) from leaf explants of a 2-yr-old plant. Primary somatic embryos (PSEs) developed after four passages
of suspension culture established from embryogenic callus when cultured in liquid half-strength MS medium (1/2 MS) without
growth regulators. PSEs in the cotyledonary stage were multiplied by adventitious embryogenesis. Single secondary somatic
embryos (SSEs) or their clusters developed at the base of PSE hypocotyls and regenerated into plantlets in a one-step process
on plant growth regulator-free 1/2 MS medium. Low sucrose concentration of 15 g l−1 promoted development of normal SSEs. All SSEs regenerated into single, well-rooted plantlets on a Nitsch and Nitsch medium
supplemented with 0.5 mg l−1 kinetin, 0.1 mg l−1 indole-3-butyric acid, and 10 mg l−1 adenine sulfate. Subsequent two subculture cycles on the same medium were necessary to obtain plantlets sufficiency developed
to allow successful transfer to the soil. Rooted plantlets were established in a peat mixture with 90% survival, with the
plants showing normal morphological characteristics. 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

Summary Friable embryogenic callus and somatic embryos of 4 Gladiolus cultivars were obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with various concentration of auxins from the following explants: corm slices, young leaf bases and whole, intact plantlets. Somatic embryos transferred on MS hormone-free medium regenerated into plantlets. All plantlets obtained through embryogenesis did not differ phenotypically from the parental clones. The embryogenic friable callus has been maintained for over 2 years in culture and has retained a very high regeneration capacity.Abbreviations 2,4-D

Summary Most published protocols necessitate different media formulations for multistep somatic embryogenesis. This study aims to
establish a simple but effective formulation for the regeneration of plantlets of the pharmaceutically active Boesenbergia rotunda (L.) Mansf. Kulturpfl, formerly Boesenbergia/Kaempferia pandurata (Schult), to ensure a superior and consistent supply of materials for commercialization purposes. In this study, a single-medium
formulation of Murashige and Skoog (MS) supplemented with 13.54μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was found to be the only medium out of eight formulations to promote the complete
somatic embryogenesis process for the culture of B. rotunda (L.). Callus cultures were initiated from a total of 280 explants of rhizome meristem. The percentage of cultures forming
embryogenic callus was 23.3 ±4.3% on this MS medium augmented by 13.54μM 2,4-D. The best plantlet regeneration rate was attained from the first subcultured callus with a mean of 6.6±0.1 plantlets
per 1 cm diameter aggregate of callus. Somatic embryogenesis characteristic of monocots was evident from histological studies.
The regenerated plantlets have been successfully established in soil. 相似文献

Regeneration via somatic embryogenesis from callus was studied in Dicentra spectabilis. To obtain somatic embryogenic callus, we cultured D. spectabilis seeds on MS basal media supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The highest percentage of embryogenic callus formation was observed on media containing 1.0 mg/l 2,4-D under dark conditions. Somatic embryogenesis was studied by transferring the callus onto MS basal medium containing different concentrations (0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg/l) of KIN (kinetin) and/or BAP. Somatic embryogenesis on MS basal media with 1.0 mg/l of KIN was excellent under light conditions. Somatic embryos were rooted by transferring them to half-strength MS basal media containing 2 g/l Phytagel. About 64.2% of the somatic embryos converted to rooted plantlets, 4% showed secondary embryogenesis and 31.8% did not develop and died. Rooted plantlets showed a 46% survival rate when acclimatized ex vitro.Abbreviations BAP 6-Benzylaminopurine - 2.4-D 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - KIN Kinetin - SEM Scanning electron microscopyCommunicated by H.

Direct somatic embryogenesis from mature embryos of sandalwood 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Plants were regenerated from mature zygotic embryos of sandalwood (Santalum album L.) through direct somatic embryogenesis. Somatic embryos were formed directly without any intervening callus phase on zygotic embryos plated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing thidiazuron or benzylaminopurine. Individual somatic embryos were then isolated and transferred to MS medium without cytokinin on which they formed secondary embryos in repetitive cycles with or without the addition of indole acetic acid to the medium. Conversion of somatic embryos into plantlets was achieved by isolating somatic embryos with distinct cotyledons and reculturing them onto half-strength MS medium with GA3 (1.4 M). Recovered plantlets were acclimatised and grown in the greenhouse. This is the first report on in vitro regeneration via direct somatic embryogenesis of sandalwood. 相似文献

Eryngium foetidum L. is an important plant cultivated as a leafy vegetable and for its essential oil, which are of high economic
value in international trade market. Plants were regenerated through somatic embryogenesis from mature leaf explants of field
grown plants. Leaf explants produced dark brown, compact callus on Linsmaier and Skoog (LS) medium with the combination of
1.0 mg l-1 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and 1.0 mg l-1 benzylaminopurine (BAP). Somatic embryos were induced from embryo-forming callus cultures on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium
supplemented with 0.1 mg l-1 2,4-D, 2.0 mg l-1 BAP and 1.0 mg l-1 gibberellic acid (GA3). Subsequently, conversion of these somatic embryos into plantlets occurred on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l-1 GA3 and/or 0.1 mg l-1 BAP. The regenerated shoots were rooted and elongated on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg l-1 IAA and 1.0 mg l-1 GA3. These plantlets were hardened and transferred to the soil.

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

An efficient system for inducing somatic embryogenesis in Panax notoginseng was established using shaker flasks and bioreactor cultures; furthermore, regenerated plantlets were successfully transferred
to ex vitro soil conditions. Embryogenic callus was induced from segments of adventitious roots incubated on Murashige and
Skoog (MS) medium containing 1.0 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) after 5 weeks of culturing. The highest frequency
(100%) of somatic embryogenesis, with a mean of 32.7 somatic embryos per callus, was obtained on embryogenic callus incubated
on a medium containing 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D. To scale-up somatic embryo formation, 10 g (~1.65 × 104) of early globular-stage somatic embryos were incubated in a 3 L airlift bioreactor containing 1.5 L 1/2 MS medium without
plant growth regulators (PGRs) for a period of 4 weeks; these globular-stage somatic embryos then developed into cotyledonary
embryos. When maintained on PGR-free medium, the cotyledonary embryos developed roots but did not develop shoots. However,
when they were treated with gibberellic acid (GA3), they continued to germinate and transformed into plantlets after 2 weeks of culture. Plantlets with well-developed shoots
and roots were transferred to an autoclaved vermiculite and perlite mixture, acclimatized for a period of 3 months and successfully
transferred to forest mountain soil. Following overwintering, these plants produced new growth. 相似文献

The plant regeneration ability of zygotic embryo-derived callus cultures was studied for 12 A. cepa varieties and accessions, two A. fistulosum varieties, one A. fistulosum x A. cepa interspecific hybrid and two A. porrum varieties. Compact embryogenic callus was induced on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The embryogenic calluses of all three Allium species were similar in appearance. For all accessions tested plants could be regenerated at a high frequency from this compact callus through somatic embryogenesis, when using kinetin supplemented MS medium (regeneration medium). Addition of abscisic acid to the regeneration medium stimulated the formation of both somatic embryos and shoots for a number of varieties. Concerning shoot regeneration from callus cultures, significant differences existed between genotypes of all accessions except one.Abbreviations 2,4-D

Summary Efficient in vitro propagation of Ceropegia candelabrum L. (Asclepidaceae) through somatic embryogenesis was established. Somatic embryogenesis depended on the type of plant growth
regulators in the callus-inducing medium. Friable callus, developed from leaf and internode explants grown on Murashige and
Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.52μM2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), underwent somatic embryogenesis. Compared to solid media, suspension culture was superior
and gave rise to a higher number of somatic embryos. Transfer of the friable callus developed on MS medium containing 4.52μM 2,4-D to suspension cultures of half- or quarter-strength MS medium with lower levels of 2,4-D (0.23 or 0.45 μM) induced the highest number of somatic embryos, which developed up to the torpedo stage. Somatic embryogenesis was asynchronous
with the dominance of globular embryos. About 100 mg of callus induced more than 500 embryos. Upon transfer to quarter-strength
MS agar medium without growth regulators, 50% of the somatic embryos underwent maturation and developed into plantlets. Plantlets
acclimatized under field conditions with 90% survival. 相似文献

Summary Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration have been achieved in Nothapodytes foetida, which is known for its rich source of anti-cancer and anti-AIDS alkaloids. Callus cultures were initiated from immature
zygotic embryos cultured on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 6-benzyladenine
(BA), and kinetin. MS medium devoid of plant growth regulators favored the development of globular somatic embryos that differentiated
further into plantlets. Plantlet regeneration efficiency was effectively increased on MS medium supplemented with BA. Over
90% of the in vitro plantlets survived when transferred to the soil. Alkaloids were detected in different stages of somatic embryos, regenerated
plantlets, and different parts of the 2-yr-old regenerated plants. The somatic embryos contains camptothecin (0.011% dry weight.
DW) and 9-methoxycamptothecin (0.0028% DW). Two-yearold field-grown plants obtained from somatic embryos were analyzed and
contained higher levels of camptothecin (0.20% DW) and 9-methoxycamptothecin. (0.097% DW) accumulated in roots, followed by
stem and leaves. Alkaloids were quantified and identified by TLC and HPLC. 相似文献

Efficient plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis was achieved from callus cultures derived from semi-mature cotyledon explants of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb., a timber-yielding leguminous tree. Somatic embryos developed over the surface of embryogenic callus and occasionally, directly from cotyledon explants without intervening callus phase. Callus cultures were initiated from cotyledon pieces of D. sissoo on Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium supplemented with 4.52, 9.04, 13.57, and 18.09 mumol/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.46 mumol/L Kinetin. Maximum percentage response for callus formation was 89% on MS medium supplemented with 9.04 mumol/L 2,4-D' and 0.46 mumol/L Kn. Somatic embryogenesis was achieved after transfer of embryogenic callus clumps to 1/2-MS medium without plant growth regulators (1/2-MSO). Average numbers of somatic embryos per callus clump was 26.5 on 1/2-MSO medium after 15 weeks of culture. Addition of 0.68 mmol/L L-glutamine to 1/2-MSO medium enhanced somatic embryogenesis frequency from 55% to 66% and the number of somatic embryos per callus clump from 26.5 to 31.1. Histological studies were carried out to observe various developmental stages of somatic embryos. About 50% of somatic embryos converted into plantlets on 1/2-MSO medium containing 2% sucrose, after 20 days of culture. Transfer of somatic embryos to 1/29-MSO medium containing 10% sucrose for 15 days prior to transfer on 1/2-MS medium with 2% sucrose enhanced the conversion of somatic embryos into plantlets from 50 to 75%. The plantlets with shoots and roots were transferred to 1/2 and 1/4-liquid MS medium, each for 10 days, and then to plastic pots containing autoclaved peat moss and compost mixture (1:1). 70% of the plantiets survived after 10 weeks of transfer to pots. 120 regenerated plantlets out of 150 were successfully acclimatised. After successful acclimatisation, plants were transferred to earthen pots. 相似文献

Medicago truncatula ssp Narbonensis and four genotypes of M. truncatula Gaertn cv. Jemalong were tested for their somatic embryogenesis potential using a two-step protocol. In the first step, embryogenic
callus was induced in folioles isolated from shoots grown in vitro and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented
with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and zeatin. In the second step, somatic embryos were allowed to develop from the induced
callus in MS growth-regulator-free medium. Individual somatic embryos were then isolated and transferred again to growth regulator
free medium where they formed secondary somatic embryos in repetitive cycles. Conversion of somatic embryos into plantlets
was achieved by isolating late-torpedo-phase somatic embryos with distinct cotyledons and reculturing them onto MS growth
regulator free medium. The system of repetitive somatic embryogenesis in M. truncatula described here represents a permanent source of embryogenic material that can be used for the genetic modification of this
species.

A protocol for the regeneration of a large number of plantlets via indirect shoot organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis has been developed from the stem and leaf explants of Justicia gendarussa Burm. f. The callus was efficiently induced from the explants using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with α-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) + Benzyl amino purine (BAP) (1.0?+?0.1 mg/l). The highest number of plantlets through indirect shoot organogenesis was obtained when the callus was subcultured to MS medium with BAP + NAA (0.1?+?1.0 mg/l). The maximum number of plantlets via somatic embryos was obtained in the medium with BAP + NAA (1.0?+?0.1 mg/l) for stem derived calli and Kinetin (Kn) + NAA (2.0?+?0.1 mg/l) for leaf derived calli. The in vitro developed shoots were rooted well in half strength MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l of Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The in vitro regenerated plantlets were hardened using a mixture of sterile sand:soil:manure (1:1:1). The present study is the first report on the regeneration of plants through somatic embryogenesis from stem and leaf derived calli of J. gendarussa. 相似文献

Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis was achieved in leafbase and leaf tip explants derived from 10-day-oldin vitro-grown seedlings ofEchinochloa colona. Somatic embryogenesis was induced in the callus on Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium supplemented with 4.44 μM 6-benzyladenine,
4.64 μM kinetin and 8.05 μM 1-naphthaleneacetic acid after 4 weeks of culture incubated for 14 days in continuous dark and
subsequently under a 14-h photoperiod. The incidence of somatic embryogenesis was greater in leafbase- than in leaf tip-derived
calluses. Histological observations revealed various stages of development of somatic embryogenesis. The embryos matured and
germinated on fresh medium lacking growth regulators. The somatic embryo-derived plantlets were established in soil. 相似文献

An efficient somatic embryogenesis and regeneration system was developed for the first time in onion using shoot apex explants. These explants were used to initiate callus in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.0 mg l?1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The induction frequency of primary callus in this medium was 85.3%. The primary calli were then transferred onto medium supplemented with 2.0 mg l?1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Following two biweekly subcultures, embryogenic callus formed. Inclusion of a low concentration of 6-benzylaminopurine in the subculture medium promoted the formation of embryogenic callus. The addition of 2.0 mg l?1 glycine, 690 mg l?1 proline, and 1.0 g l?1 casein hydrolysate also increased the frequency of callus induction and embryogenic callus formation. The highest frequency of embryogenic callus (86.9%) and greatest number of somatic embryos (26.3 per callus) were obtained by the further addition of 8.0 mg l?1 silver nitrate. Somatic embryos formed plantlets on regeneration medium supplemented with 1.5 mg l?1 6-benzylaminopurine; addition of 2.0 mg l?1 glycine to the regeneration medium promoted a high frequency of regeneration (78.1%) and plantlet formation (28.7 plants per callus). The regenerated plantlets were transferred to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg l?1 indole-3-butyric acid for root development; the maximum frequency of root formation was 87.7% and the average number of roots was 7.6 per shoot. The regenerated plantlets were successfully grown to maturity after hardening in the soil. This is the first report of somatic embryogenesis and regeneration from shoot apex explants of onion. 相似文献
