Abstract: | A liquid paraffin overlay (LPO) was used for storage of rapidly multiplying somatic embryos of Dendrocalamus hamiltonii under slow-growth conditions. Slow growth was associated with changes in sugar metabolism. In rapidly growing embryogenic tissues, a sharp decline in starch and non-reducing sugars indicated rapid utilization of starch. In contrast, under slow-growth conditions in somatic embryos stored under LPO, a gradual decline in starch indicated its slower utilization. As a result, growth of somatic embryos under LPO was suppressed and subculturing was not required. Following retrieval from growth under LPO after 30, 90, 180, 270, and 365 d of storage, the somatic embryos showed high recovery and germination (79.78%, 77.49%, 71.22%, 67.13%, and 59.99%, respectively) and were able to proliferate following transfer to Murashige and Skoog’s (Physiol. Plant. 15:473–497, 1962) medium containing 1 mgl−1 BAP and 2% sucrose. The study provides useful information on in vitro storage of embryogenic tissue of D. hamiltonii. |
