Somatic embryogenesis from pea embryos and shoot apices

Conditions were defined for plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis in pea, using explants from immature zygotic embryos or from shoot apices. For the induction of somatic embryos, an auxin (picloram or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) was required. Embryogenic callus originated from embryonic axis tissue of immature embryos and from the axillary-bud region and the plumula of shoot apices. A clear effect of embryo size on somatic embryogenesis was shown. There were differences in frequency of somatic embryogenesis among the five genotypes used in the study. Additions of BA to auxin-containing medium reduced embryo production. Histological examinations confirmed the embryogenic nature of the immature embryo cultures and revealed that somatic embryos originated from the meristematic areas near the callus surface.Abbreviations BA benzyladenine - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - picloram 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid     

Uptake of volatilen-alkanes byPseudomonas PG-I

Using a bacterial speciesPseudomonas PG-1, evidence has been obtained which indicates that uptake ofn-pentane ton-octane by microbial cells takes place primarily from the gas phase either directly orvia the aqueous phase. Specific growth rate increased along with the increase in substrate concentration but above the alkane concentration of 0.3% by volume, specific growth rate decreased indicating substrate inhibition of growth. In the case of less volatile alkanes,n-nonane andn-decane, substrate transfer is predominantly through substrate solubilization system elaborated by the cells. EDTA, a strong inhibitor of hydrocarbon solubilization by the cells, inhibited growth on these two alkanes but had negligible effect on growth onn-pentane ton-octane.

农业生态系统中新物种引进的初步探讨

在现有的农业生态系统中,引进某些新物种,往往可以使整个系统的功能发生变化。如果新物种引进得当,则可产生良好的效果,系统功能得以改善,效益提高;反之,则会造成人力、物力、财力的损失,削弱系统的功能,甚至可能遗患无穷。因此,对农业生态系统中     

中华猕猴桃胚乳植株后代的观察

对438株定植的中华猕猴桃胚乳培.养的试管苗,经四年的田间观察,并进行连续二年结果分析。与对照的母株相比,胚乳植株在株形、叶片大小、果实形态及果实的主要营养成分含量上都有较大的变化。同时还发现,由同一块愈伤组织诱导的胚乳试管苗后代中也有雌、雄性别的分化。胚乳植株后代的多样性,可为中华猕猴桃的选种及品种繁育提供丰富的材料。
