Abstract: | Robinia ambigua var. idahoensis, presumably originated from interspecific hybridization of R. pseudoacacia L. and R. hispida L., is a multipurpose tree. Several reports have showed that in vitro micropropagation is a feasible method to produce large quantities of ‘clonal’ plants from R. pseudoacacia, however, no information is available on micropropagation of R. ambigua or the other assumed parental species, R. hispida. Here, we report on a tissue culture system for efficient micropropagation of R. ambigua plants by enhanced branching of axillary buds taken from a single branch of a donor tree. The culture system consists of
sequential use of three media, namely, the bud-induction medium (MS medium supplemented with 0.8–1.4 mg l−1 6-BA, 0.05–0.08 mg l−1 NAA and 0.07–0.1 mg l−1 GA), elongation medium (MS medium added with 0.35–0.5 mg l−1 6-BA, 0.05–0.08 mg l−1 NAA and 0.07–0.1 mg l−1 GA) and root-induction medium (1/4 MS medium fortified with 1.7–2.5 mg l−1 IAA and 0.1–0.5 mg l−1 IBA). In addition, we investigated the genetic stability (relative to the donor plant) of a sample of 41 morphologically
normal plants randomly taken from ca. 13,000 micropropagated plants, by using the inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) marker
with 32 selected primers. We found that of the 226 reproducible bands scored, 24 were polymorphic (10.62%), thus pointing
to the occurrence, though at a relatively low level compared with an earlier study on R. pseudoacacia, of genomic variation in these micropropagated plants. Further sequencing on seven loci underlying the variations showed
that two had significant homology to known or predicted plant genes. |
