Abstract:Embryogenic masses (EMSes) of pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) were proliferated in liquid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium without growth regulators. To determine the effects of benzylaminopurine (BAP), racemic (±) abscisic acid (ABA) and sucrose treatments during maturation on the subsequent germination and plantlet regeneration, clusters of mature somatic embryos were transferred from maturation medium onto the surface of 0.7% agar-solidified Murashige and Skoog medium. Neither germination nor plantlet development medium contained BAP or ABA. Germination studies were carried out using 80 somatic embryos at every combination of four sucrose concentrations, three maturation periods and either five concentrations of BAP or four of ABA, and the numbers germinating were recorded after four durations of culture. A similar experimental plan was used to study plantlet regeneration. The number of germinated somatic embryos increased markedly with duration of the culture on germination medium, and was influenced by the concentrations of BAP or ABA in the maturation medium; the concentration of sucrose in this medium had little influence. Plantlet regeneration also increased with culture duration and was reduced at the highest levels of BAP or ABA; with ABA, the probability of plantlet regeneration was lower for longer maturation periods. ABA and BAP have similar effects on somatic embryo germination (except at the highest levels used), but BAP is superior to ABA for promoting subsequent plantlet regeneration. Linear logistic models were used to investigate the significance of the treatments, and to estimate the optimum conditions for germination and plantlet regeneration. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
