Secondary somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in myrtle (Myrtus communis L.)

Immature seeds, as well as hypocotyls and cotyledons excised from seedlings of Myrtus communis L., were cultured on media containing half-strength Murashige and Skoog macronutrients (MS/2) with combinations of auxins and cytokinins, in order to study their morphogenetic competence. Somatic embryogenesis was obtained from cotyledons, hypocotyls and 2-month-old immature seeds with 0.1 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The percentage of explants showing this primary somatic embryogenesis ranged from 4% for hypocotyls to 12% for 2-month-old immature seeds. In the latter, somatic embryogenesis was also obtained in media containing 2,4-D plus a cytokinin, and with only a cytokinin. Somatic embryos obtained from hypocotyls, cotyledons or immature seeds were able to develop on MS/2 medium without plant growth regulators. Subculture of primary somatic embryos obtained from immature seeds on MS/2 medium without plant growth regulators gave rise to clusters with secondary somatic embryos and embryogenic calli. These clusters were subcultured every 8 weeks, and they were the source of highly embryogenic cultures. An average of 10% of the secondary somatic embryos developed into plantlets in each subculture. Therefore, the same culture on MS/2 medium without growth regulators yielded both plantlets and de novo secondary embryos.

Auxin-stimulated somatic embryogenesis from immature cotyledons of white clover

Cotyledons from immature embryos of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) cv. Osceola were exposed to 2,4-D or NAA to induce somatic embryogenesis. NAA at 10 or 20 mg 1^–1 was very inefficient at stimulating embryogenesis, while concentrations of 30 or 40 mg 1^–1 resulted in death of the explant tissue. Continuous exposure of cotyledons to 40 mg 1^–1 2,4-D resulted in somatic embryos which were arrested at the globular stage, or which underwent cycles of secondary embryogenesis, never proceeding beyond the globular stage. A 10 day exposure time to 2,4-D at the same concentration led to formation of somatic embryos, most of which had poorly developed cotyledons. Almost 10% of the somatic embryos converted into plants following transfer to medium devoid of growth regulators. Attempts to improve morphology of somatic embryos by using shorter exposure times to 2,4-D at 40 mg 1^–1, or by maintaining the 10 day exposure time while varying the concentration of 2,4-D, were not successful. Plants were obtained from all parents evaluated, although at different frequencies.     

Somatic embryogenesis of two new <Emphasis Type="Italic">Panax ginseng</Emphasis> cultivars,Yun-Poong and Chun-Poong

Somatic embryogenesis from single cells is important for normal plant regeneration of ginseng. Cotyledon explants from zygotic embryos of two new ginseng cultivars, Chun-Poong and Yun-Poong, produced somatic embryos on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium and MS medium containing growth regulators. The highest frequency of single somatic embryo formation was obtained when cotyledon explants were excised from premature (cultured for 1 day) zygotic embryos (about 6 mm in length) of both cvs. Chun-Poong and Yun-Poong and then cultured on MS medium supplemented with 7% sucrose. The frequency of single somatic embryo formation was strongly enhanced when Chun-Poong cotyledons were subjected to plasmolysis with 0.1–0.5 M sucrose for 24 h and Yun-Poong cotyledons to plasmolysis with 1.0 M sucrose for 24 h and then cultured on MS medium with 2,4-D.     

Somatic embryogenesis from immature zygotic embryos of annatto (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Bixa orellana</Emphasis> L.)

Summary In order to establish a protocol for somatic embryogenesis of annatto, Bixa orellana L., seeds (70 d after anthesis) from field-grown orchards had their coats dissected off, and immature zygotic embryos were excised aseptically from immature seeds collected from field-grown trees and used as explants. Embryos were cultured onto MS medium supplemented with or without different combinations of plant growth regulators and activated charcoal. Direct somatic embryogenesis was induced on explants incubated either in Murashige and Skoog (MS), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and/or kinetin-supplemented media after 25 d of culture. The highest frequencies of embryogenesis and embryos per explant were obtained on medium containing 2.26 μM 2.4-D, 4.52μM kinetin, and 1.0 gl⁻¹ activated charcoal. The presence of charcoal was critical in increasing embryos per explant, to reduce the time to obtain somatic embryos, and mainly to prevent callus proliferation and subsequent indirect somatic embryogenesis. No embryogenic response was achieved when mature embryos were used. It was also observed that embryogenic response was significantly affected by genotype. Histological investigations revealed that primary direct somatic embryos differentiated exclusively from the protodermis or together with the outer ground meristem cell layers of the zygotic embryo axis, and from the protodermis of zygotic cotyledons. Diverse morphological differences, including malformed embryos, were observed among somatic embryos. In spite of the high frequencies of histodifferentiation of all embryo stages, a very low conversion frequency to normal plants from somatic embryos was observed.     

Somatic embryogenesis in soybean via somatic embryo cycling

Summary The objectives of the present research were: a) to develop an efficient soybean embryogenic regeneration system characterized by a high frequency of explant response and a large number of somatic embryos per explant; b) to evaluate the factors affecting somatic embryogenesis via somatic embryo cycling; and c) to identify the origin of somatic embryos in the system. A highly improved and efficient system for soybean somatic embryogenesis was established using somatic embryo cotyledons and somatic embryo hypocotyl/radicle explants plated on α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) supplemented MS basal media. The system included somatic embryo cycling between liquid and solid medium and it consistently gave rise to a much higher frequency of explant response and a larger number of embryos per responding explant than those obtained from zygotic cotyledon explant tissues. Genotype, differences were observed for response in some of the treatments with cv “Fayette” being more responsive than “J103”. Histological studies revealed that somatic embryos induced in the somatic embryo cycling system originated almost exclusively from epidermal cells on both 2,4-D and NAA inductive media. The cells of the epidermis proliferated to produce somatic embryos directly without an intervening callus phase. A single-cell origin of somatic embryos was observed in cultures on a 40 mg/liter 2,4-D treatment. A large number of responding cells in the epidermis was also observed in the 10 mg/liter NAA treatment. The single-cell origin of somatic embryos from epidermal layers of the explant tissues should facilitate development of an efficient transformation system for soybean.     

Screening of soybean, Glycine max L.) Merrill, lines for somatic embryo induction and maturation capability from immature cotyledons

Summary Seventeen breeding lines of soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, and cv. Jack, from relative maturity groups 0.3–7.5 were assessed for their ability to undergo somatic embryogenesis. The goal of this study was to determine which lines had high embryogenic capacity. We also sought to understand the relationship between relative maturity and embryogenesis. Embryos from immature cotyledons were initiated on solid MS medium with varying levels of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Qualitative and quantitative measures of initiation, proliferation, differentiation, and maturation were recorded. The breeding lines differed significantly with respect to percent induction, number of embryos induced, and quality of induced embryos. After 1 mo, of proliferation, two early maturing lines, the control, Jack, and NK-5, had the best overall performance. High percent response of proliferating embryos was positively associated with lower maturity groups. Relatively high concentrations of 2,4-D (compared with that used in prolifcrating medium, e.g., 226 μM; 50 mg l⁻¹) in the initiating medium reduced numbers of embryo clusters per cotyledon initiated and percent initiation, and the concentration of 2,4-D affected the proliferation of somatic embryos in a breeding line-dependent manner. The breeding lines differed significantly in the time to produce mature somatic embryos. There was a positive correlation between immature embryo quality and number of differentiated somatic embryos produced. Retired.

几种生长素对木薯体细胞胚发生和植株再生的作用

木薯（ＭａｎｉｈｏｔｅｓｃｕｌｅｎｔａＣｒａｎｔｚ）嫩叶外植体在含２,４－Ｄ（１－１６ｍｇＬ－１）或ＮＡＡ（４０ｍｇＬ－１）的诱导培养基上能直接诱导初生体细胞胚胎发生,而低活性的生长素ＩＢＡ或ＩＡＡ（４０ｍｇＬ－１）或低浓度的２,４－Ｄ（０．１ｍｇＬ－１）则不能。而以木薯初生体细胞胚切段为外植体时,次生体细胞胚的诱导对生长素的活性或浓度的要求降低。降低生长素浓度或活性能缩短体细胞胚诱导时间并促进根的形成,有利于提高体细胞胚的再生频率。体细胞胚外植体在诱导培养基上的培养时间对下一步体细胞胚胎发生的诱导产生影响。通过石腊切片观察,在含２,４－Ｄ诱导培养基上,木薯体细胞胚不能形成芽分生组织。结果表明,２,４－Ｄ等生长素类物质对诱导木薯体细胞胚胎发生是关键因子,但对体细胞胚的进一步发育和植株再生起抑制作用。
