Abstract: | Alternative procedures for the production of Narcissus L. somatic embryos were investigated. Somatic embryogenesis was initiated on ovary explants isolated from cv. Carlton bulbs,
chilled for 12 weeks at 5°C. The explants were cultured on MS media with 3% sucrose and growth regulators: Picloram or 2,4-D
(10 or 25 μM) and BA (1 or 5 μM) for 12 weeks in the culture systems: continuous cultivation on solid media, continuous cultivation
in liquid media and sequential cultivation using cycles in liquid and solid media. Two types of somatic embryogenesis, indirect
and direct, were observed. The developmental pathway depended on the period of exposure to liquid media. Somatic embryos were
formed via embryogenic nodular callus on solid media. 2,4-D and BA stimulated the process. The 4-week and 8-week liquid medium
treatments resulted in the development of somatic embryos directly from the ovary explant tissue. The highest number of somatic
embryos was noted under the influence of 25 μM 2,4-D and 5 μM BA in explants cultivated for 8 weeks in liquid medium and then,
for 4 weeks, on solid medium. The effects of inoculum density on biomass increase and the formation of somatic embryos in
cultures obtained on a medium with 25 μM 2,4-D and 5 μM BA were also checked. The highest biomass increase was observed after
subculturing in liquid medium containing 0.5 μM NAA and 5 μM BA when the density of inoculum was 0.5 g/25 ml of the medium.
The highest number of somatic embryos was noted when the density of inoculum was 1.5 g/25 ml. |
