Abstract: | Summary In vitro, selection is a viable method of selecting herbicide-tolerant crops. This research was to evaluate in vitro selection techniques for enhancing 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid] tolerance in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.). In vivo and in vitro responses to 2,4-D of eight diverse red clover populations were correlated (r=0.77), justifying in vitro selection for 2,4-D tolerance. Suspension cultures of a red clover genotype capable of regeneration were plated onto agar-based nutrient media supplemented with 0.18 mM 2,4-D for selection experiments. After two cycles of selection, 16 2,4-D tolerant callus lines were identified based on visual growth assessment. These lines were evaluated for 2,4-D tolerance (based on 2,4-D content), using a 2,4-D bioassay procedure which consisted of placing selected callus tissue pieces on top of oat (Avena sativa L.) coleoptile or internode sections. The relative amount of 2,4-D in the callus tissue was estimated by the amount of oat section elongation after 24 h. Two of the more tolerant callus lines had 61% and 83% less 2,4-D in their tissues than the susceptible control tissue. These studies indicated that in vitro selection can enhance the levels of 2,4-D tolerance in red clover callus tissue.Florida Agricultural Experiment Station Journal Series No. 8943 |
