Abstract: | Summary Thirteen soybean genotypes representing maturity groups IV−VI were compared for organogenic responses on three media cultured under two lighting conditions with hypocotyl sections excised from 7-d-old seedlings. All soybean lines responsed by producing adventitious shoots on the acropetal end of the hypocotyl explants, confirming genotype-independence of shoot initiation. Media containing 6-benzyladenine (BA; 5.0–10 μM) induced the greatest numbers of shoots. Histological studies confirmed the adventitious nature of arising shoots by indicative formation of meristematic zones and shoot primordia from parenchymatous tissues of central pith and plumular trace regions of the hypocotyl. Incompletely excised cotyledonary buds also contributed to shoot initiation. Degrees of responses were media-dependent and varied with regard to genotype. Centennial, Epps, and Lyon gave the greatest individual responses. Between cultivars (across all treatments), the regeneration potential (percentage of explants producing meristem-like structures or shoot primordia) 4 wk after initiation ranged from 47 to 75%. Four wk later, regenerative ability (number of shoots produced per responding explant) and regeneration efficiency (number of shoots produced per explant plated) yielded 1.4–7.1 and 1.0–5.0 shoots, respectively. The optimized protocol included initiation on a medium containing 5.0 μM BA for 4 wk, then transfer onto a shoot elongation medium (0.36 μM BA) for 4 wk. For 11 genotypes tested, 66–100% of excised shoots produced roots after 4 wk on media containing 12.5–29.2 μM indole-3-butyric acid. Of 109 regenerants transplanted to soil, 94% survived and no sterility has been observed on those mature enough to flower. |
