ABA对枸杞体细胞胚发生的调节作用

Using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method, we determined the ABA contents of different stages in somatic embryogenesis. The results showed that endogenous ABA contents increased to maximum value twice during somatic embryogenesis. After first maximum value of ABA contents embryogenic cells were observed in callus, and simultaneously, there was a specific protein of somatic embryogenesis investigated by SDS-PAGE. This protein accumulates preferentially in embryogenic callus but not in transferred callus. So it is suggested that ABA could promote the expression of specific genes and the synthesis of embryogenic protein during somatic embryogenesis in Lycium barbarum L. and ABA play an important role in globular stage as well. In addition, treatment of non-embryogenic activity callus with 4 mumol/L exogenous ABA could stimulate somatic embryogenesis. And the ABA function mechanism in relation to somatic embryogenesis was discussed.     

Abscisic acid and stress treatment are essential for the acquisition of embryogenic competence by carrot somatic cells

Studies of carrot embryogenesis have suggested that abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in somatic embryogenesis. A relationship between endogenous ABA and the induction of somatic embryogenesis was demonstrated using stress-induced system of somatic embryos. The embryonic-specific genes C-ABI3 and embryogenic cell proteins (ECPs) were expressed during stress treatment prior to the formation of somatic embryos. The stress-induction system for embryogenesis was clearly distinguished by two phases: the acquisition of embryogenic competence and the formation of a somatic embryo. Somatic embryo formation was inhibited by the application of fluridone (especially at 10⁻⁴ M), a potent inhibitor of ABA biosynthesis, during stress treatment. The inhibitory effect of fluridone was nullified by the simultaneous application of fluridone and ABA. The level of endogenous ABA increased transiently during stress. However, somatic embryogenesis was not significantly induced by the application of only ABA to the endogenous level, in the absence of stress. These results suggest that the induction of somatic embryogenesis, in particular the acquisition of embryogenic competence, is caused not only by the presence of ABA but also by physiological responses that are directly controlled by stresses.     

Effect of Plant Growth Regulators on Somatic Embryogenesis of Peucedanum terebinthaccum

The influence of different plant growth regulators including 2,4-D,ZT, 6-BA and ABA on somatic embryogenesis and the amount of endogenous ABA at different stages of embryogenesis was investigated. The effect of each plant growth regulator changed according to the stage of embryogenesis. The amount of endogenous ABA was rather high in single cell stage, decreased at cell clump and embryogenic cell clump stages and dramatically increased at globular embryo stage. It decreased again as the embryo developed. This change in amount of the endogenous ABA explained very well the difference in the effect of exogenous ABA when applied at different stages of embryogenesis.     

Comparative Efficacy of Abscisic Acid and Methyl Jasmonate for Indirect Somatic Embryogenesis in Medicago sativa L.

The effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in relation to abscisic acid (ABA) on different phases of somatic embryogenesis were studied in Medicago sativa L. Different concentrations of both the growth inhibitors (0.0, 0.5, 5.0, 50.0 and 500.0 μM) were tested in five distinct phases of somatic embryogenesis, viz., induction, proliferation, differentiation, maturation and regeneration. Like ABA, MeJA also inhibited callus induction, callus growth, proliferation of embryogenic suspension as well as germination and conversion of somatic embryos. However, its inhibitory effects on various phases of somatic embryogenesis were less pronounced as compared to that due to ABA. In contrast to ABA, MeJA did not have any significant influence on the development of somatic embryos when applied in the differentiation phase. The study showed that ABA used routinely as an inducer of somatic embryo maturation in M. sativa could not be replaced by MeJA.     

Precociously germinating somatic embryos of Vitis vinifera have lower ABA and IAA levels than their germinating zygotic counterparts

Somatic embryos of Vitis vinifera (cv. Grenache noir) develop normally up to the torpedo stage, but they germinate precociously and form viable plantlets with very low frequency. Because a peak in abscisic acid (ABA) in mid‐embryogenesis could be one factor preventing precocious germination during normal seed development, we followed the development of ABA content concurrent with that of the somatic embryos. Additionally, we measured changes in indoleacetic acid (IAA) levels. We also compared the levels of both hormones during precocious germination of somatic embryos and during normal germination of their zygotic counterparts. Somatic embryos were able to accumulate ABA and IAA throughout their development but no peak in ABA concentration was detected during embryogenesis. This suggests that the switch from mid‐ to late‐embryogenesis is not triggered. Furthermore, during precocious germination, i.e. from the torpedo stage onwards, the concentrations of ABA and IAA in somatic embryos were much lower than during normal germination of zygotic embryos. Thus, it is likely that when precocious germination occurs, grape somatic embryos do not accumulate ABA and/or IAA in sufficient concentrations to support normal plantlet development. Therefore, for grape somatic embryos we propose that prevention of precocious germination, i.e. triggering late‐embryogenesis, is attainable by an ABA treatment followed by slow desiccation, as already shown for conifer somatic embryos. Our results also suggest that the role of ABA and IAA for improving normal germination after imposed quiescence should be investigated.     

Exogenous Spermidine Promotes Somatic Embryogenesis of <i>Cunninghamia lanceolata</i> by Altering the Endogenous Phytohormone Content

In order to study how exogenous hormones in C. lanceolata (gymnosperm) regulate somatic embryogenesis, we measured the endogenous phytohormones of two genotypes with different somatic embryogenesis efficiency and found that an increase in endogenous concentrations of IAA and ABA may be correlated to more efficient somatic embryogenesis. By applying exogenous spermidine, we found that exogenous hormones may affect somatic embryogenesis efficiency through affecting the endogenous phytohormone content. Based on these results, further studies can be conducted whereby the concentration of exogenous hormones or the levels of endogenous phytohormones by molecular methods are regulated to promote somatic embryogenesis. Our research may benefit the long-term economic output of the forestry industry and lays the foundation to studying the molecular mechanism that controls somatic embryogenesis efficiency.     

Endogenous Abscisic Acid and Indole-3-Acetic Acid and Somatic Embryogenesis in Cultured Leaf Explants of Pennisetum purpureum Schum. : Effects in Vivo and in Vitro of Glyphosate, Fluridone, and Paclobutrazol

Effects of application in vivo of glyphosate, fluridone, and paclobutrazol to glasshouse-grown donor plants of Pennisetum purpureum Schum. on endogenous levels of abscisic acid (ABA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in young leaves and on somatic embryogenesis in cultured leaf explants were studied. Treatment of plants with glyphosate (100 milligrams per liter) resulted in elevated levels of endogenous ABA and IAA in young leaves. In contrast, paclobutrazol (50% active ingredient; 200 milligrams per liter) did not alter the endogenous levels of ABA and IAA. Fluridone (100 milligrams per liter) markedly inhibited synthesis of ABA and leaf explants from fluridone-treated plants lost the capacity for somatic embryogenesis. Explants from glyphosate- or paclobutrazol-treated plants did not show any reduction in embryogenic capacity when compared with untreated control plants. Glyphosate and fluridone were also incorporated into the culture media at various concentrations (0 to 20 milligrams per liter) to study their effects in vitro on somatic embryogenesis in leaf explants from untreated, field-grown plants. Glyphosate was inhibitory to somatic embryogenesis but only at concentrations above 5 milligrams per liter. Fluridone inhibited somatic embryogenesis at all concentrations tested. Inhibition of somatic embryogenesis by fluridone, by either in vivo or in vitro application, could be overcome partially by (±)-ABA added to the culture medium. Exogenous application of (±)-ABA enhanced somatic embryogenesis and reduced the formation of nonembryogenic callus. Application of IAA or gibberellic acid (GA₃; >5 milligrams per liter) was inhibitory to somatic embryogenesis. These results indicate that endogenous ABA is one of the important factors controlling the embryogenic capacity of leaf explants in Napier grass.     

Effects of ABA on secondary embryogenesis from somatic embryos induced from inflorescence culture ofAralia cordata Thunb

In order to investigate the effect of ABA on secondary embryogenesis from somatic embryos inAralia cordata Thunb., embryogenic callus and somatic embryos were induced from inflorescence on solid MS basal medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/L 2,4-D after eight weeks without subculture. For mass production of somatic embryos, embryogenic cell clumps were maintained in liquid MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D, and then transferred to 2, 4-D-free medium. When developing embryos at various stages were cultured separately in liquid medium with ABA (0 to 2.0 mg/L) for three weeks, and then cultured in ABA-free liquid medium for two weeks, torpedo-shaped embryos exhibited secondary embryogenesis of 65.9% in only 0.2 mg/L ABA pretreatment. Cotyledonary embryos in cultures by 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/L ABA pretreatment also exhibited secondary embryogenesis (73%, 9.4% and 6.0%, respectively). However, globular and heart-shaped somatic embryos treated with ABA did not form secondary embryos on their hypocotyl surfaces. When cotyledonary embryos were cultured in ABA-free medium or 0.2 mg/L ABA treated medium for three weeks, and then in ABA-free liquid medium for 6 weeks, the germination frequency was lower in medium with 0.2 mg/L ABA (45.9%) than in hormone-free medium (56.8%). This result seems to be related to the high frequency of secondary embryogenesis. It is suggested that secondary embryogenesis by ABA application depends upon the stage of embryo cultured and the ABA concentration.
