Genotype and explant-type dependent morphogenesis and silicon response of common reed (Phragmites australis) tissue cultures

The effects of silicon on the growth and development of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steud. (common reed) stem nodal and root embryogenic calli were investigated. Silicon is considered to be a beneficial or quasi-essential nutrient for several Gramineaceous plants, including reed. Seven callus lines of four geographical locations (genotypes 1-4) within Hungary were investigated. Callus lines 1A, 2A and 3A were produced from stem nodal explants, while lines 1B, 2B, 3B and 4 were produced from roots. For the assay of silicon-dependent growth of callus lines of identical genotype but originating from different explants, we measured the increase of fresh weight of lines 1A and 1B. The studied developmental parameters were the increase of the number of somatic embryos (for callus lines 1A and 1B) and plant or root production from somatic embryos (for all genotypes/callus lines). Silicon was added to the culture medium as sodium silicate. In control cultures, plant or root regeneration from embryogenic calli was strongly genotype- and explant type-dependent. Stem nodal explants developed plants on regeneration medium in case of callus lines 2A and 3A, while line 1A produced roots only. All root derived calli developed roots on regeneration medium. Silicon stimulated the growth of both stem nodal and root calli (callus lines 1A, B) however, the concentration optima were different. Somatic embryogenesis of root calli, but not of stem nodal calli, was stimulated by silicate at low concentrations. However, for both of these callus lines, root development was stimulated by silicon. It had genotype-dependent influences on plant regeneration: while stimulation was observed in case of callus line 2A, inhibition occurred for line 3A. Root morphogenesis on calli was significantly influenced by silicon and depended on the callus line studied. Root production was stimulated on callus lines 1A, B and 2B, while in case of callus line 3B, it was significantly inhibited. The morphogenetic effects of Si were similar for different explants of the same geographical origin, i.e. plant or root production was similarly stimulated or inhibited by this element. We can conclude that the effects of Si on plant or root development depend on reed genotype used for callus induction. Its effect on growth and somatic embryogenesis depends on the explant type used for callus production. This is the first detailed report on the role of silicon in plant vegetative development and morphogenesis of a Gramineaceous plant.

胭脂碱型农杆菌GV3101已经被广泛用于植物遗传转化研究。已有的研究结果证明,农杆菌GV3101株系含有的反式玉米素合成 (trans-zeatin synthesizing,tzs)基因编码产物会影响烟草细胞器的形态及细胞的生理状态。然而,有关tzs基因对遗传转化过程外植体再生的影响研究却少有报道。本文在前期研究工作的基础上,以2种烟草、4个农杆菌株系为组培实验材料,验证了胭脂碱型农杆菌tzs基因产物的生理活性。结果表明：以外源添加生长调节物质的外植体为阳性对照,在不添加任何生长调节剂的培养基上,与GV3101菌株共培养的烟草外植体能分化再生,并发育成完整植株;外植体再生与GV3101携带的质粒种类无关;外植体与农杆菌GV3101培养液共培养24 h,烟草再生效果较好;与GV3101株系共培养24 h,将外植体烟草叶片匀浆,经亲和柱分离纯化后,检测出烟草外植体叶片中高达0.78 ng/g FW-1的反式玉米素含量。菌落PCR扩增结果证实,农杆菌GV3101株系有tzs基因序列。以上结果表明,农杆菌GV3101株系内的tzs基因的表达产物有生理学活性,能够促进烟草外植体再生,调节细胞生长。     

Comparative analysis of the differential regeneration response of various genotypes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum aestivum</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum durum</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum dicoccum</Emphasis>

An efficient genotype independent, in vitro regeneration system was developed for nine popular Indian wheat cultivars, three each of Triticum aestivum L. viz., CPAN1676, HD2329 and PBW343, Triticum durum Desf. viz., PDW215, PDW233 and WH896, and Triticum dicoccum Schrank. Schubl. viz., DDK1001, DDK1025 and DDK1029, by manipulating the concentration and time of exposure to the growth regulator, thidiazuron (TDZ). A total of 18 (for immature inflorescence and embryo explant) and six (for mature embryo explant) different combinations of growth regulators were tried for callusing and regeneration, respectively. Media combination with low concentration of TDZ (2.2 μM) in combination to auxin and/or cytokinin (depending upon culture stage), was found to be effective for immature and mature explants. Compact, nodular and highly embryogenic calli were obtained by using immature embryo, immature inflorescence and mature embryo explants, and regeneration frequency up to 25 shoots/explant with an overall 80% regeneration was achieved. Comparable regeneration frequency was achieved for mature embryo explants. No separate hormone combination for rooting was required and plantlets ready to transfer to soil could be obtained in a short period of 8–10 weeks. This protocol can be used for raising transgenic plants for functional genomics analysis of agronomically important traits in the three species of wheat.     

High efficiency in vitro organogenesis from mature tissue explants of Citrus macrophylla and C. aurantium

A simple and efficient protocol for obtaining organogenesis from mature nodal explants of Citrus macrophylla (alemow) and Citrus aurantium (sour orange) has been developed by optimizing the concentrations of the plant growth regulators, the incubation conditions, the basal medium and by the choice of explant. In order to optimize the plant growth regulator balance, explants were cultured in the regeneration medium supplemented with several N ⁶-benzyladenine (BA) concentrations or with 2 mg?l^?1 BA in combination with kinetin (KIN) or 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The presence of BA was found to be essential for the development of adventitious buds; the best results were obtained using BA at 3 and 2 mg?l^?1 for alemow and sour orange, respectively. The combination of BA with KIN or NAA in the culture medium decreased the regeneration frequency, with respect to the use of BA alone. The effect of three different basal media was rootstock-dependent. For C. macrophylla the best results were obtained with Woody Plant Medium or Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut Medium (DKW). However, for C. aurantium, although high percentages of regenerating explants were obtained independently of the basal medium used, the highest number of buds per regenerating explants was obtained with DKW medium. Attempts were made to identify the type of explants which had a higher regeneration ability using particular regions along the mature shoots of C. macrophylla. When nodal segments, where the buds were completely removed, and internode segments were compared, the highest percentage of responsive explants was obtained with nodal segments. The existence of a morphogenetic gradient along the shoot was observed and the organogenic efficiency was highest when explants from the apical zone were used. Incubation in darkness for 3 or 4 wk was essential for regeneration process in both rootstocks.     

In vitro culture of Aloe barbadensis Mill.: Morphogenetic ability and nuclear DNA content

In vitro culture of Aloe barbadensis is very difficult for both callus Induction and plant regeneration. By contrast, micropropagation from shoot meristems is easily achieved. A DNA microdensitometric study was performed on different organs of A. barbadensis and during in vitro culture of different explants. It was shown that morphogenetic ability is correlated to nuclear DNA content in the explant and/or in the callus. In particular, plant regeneration (or micropropagation) is obtained only from calli (or from explants) in which the amount of DNA per nucleus falls strictly within the diploid limits (2C and 4C) of the species.     

Correlated response of in vitro regeneration capacity from different source of explants inCucumis melo

The variation among and within different populations of the regeneration ability from leaf, cotyledon and hypocotyl explants has been studied. A control population and two lines selected by their regeneration capacity from leaf explants were used. Significant differences among the plants of the control population,for the organogenic response, were detected. The regeneration capacity varies depending on the type of explant. Selection in order to improve the regeneration frequency from leaf explants also raises the organogenic response in the other explant types. This result suggests the presence of a partial common genetic system controlling the regeneration frequency of the diverse types of explants.Abbreviations BA 6-benzylaminopurine - IAA indole-3-acetic-acid - K 6-furfuryl-aminopurine - NAA 1-naphthalene acetic acid     

In vitro Shoot Regeneration from Leaves of Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium) 'Lapins' and 'Sweetheart'

Shoot regeneration was achieved from leaves of in vitro cultures of Prunus avium L. cv. 'Lapins' and 'Sweetheart' using woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with 1-naphthalene-acetic acid (NAA) and thidiazuron (TDZ) or benzyladenine (BA). Percent regeneration was influenced by plant growth regulators and by explant type, orientation and wounding. Optimal regeneration was observed with whole-leaf explants wounded by transverse cuts along the midrib and incubated abaxial surfaces uppermost, on media supplemented with 2.27 or 4.54 µM TDZ plus 0.27 µM NAA. The percent regeneration of the two cultivars was not significantly different. Optimum conditions for regeneration resulted in 71.4% of 'Lapins' and 54% of 'Sweetheart' explants producing one or more shoots per explant.     

Somatic embryogenesis,organogenesis and callus growth kinetics of flax

The effects of plant growth regulators (PGR) on calli induction, morphogenesis and somatic embryogenesis of flax were studied. The organogenic and callus formation capacity were assessed for different types of source explants. Root and shoot explants were equally good material for calli production but the former produced calli without shoot regeneration capacity. Under the experimental conditions tested, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) + zeatin was the most efficient PGR combination on calli induction and biomass production. The calli were green but with no rhizogenic capacity. In contrast, and at similar concentrations, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) + kinetin induced white or pale green friable calli with a good root regeneration capacity (60%). A factorial experiment with different combinations of 2,4-D + zeatin + gibberellic acid (GA₃) levels revealed that the direction of explant differentiation was determined by specific PGR interactions and concentrations. The results from these experiments revealed that the morphogenetic pathway (shoot versus root differentiation) can be manipulated on flax explants by raising the 2,4-D level from 0.05 to 3.2 mg l^?1 in the induction medium. The induction and development of somatic embryos from flax explants was possible in a range of 2,4-D + zeatin concentrations surrounding 0.4 mg l^?1 2,4-D and 1.6 mg l^?1 zeatin, the most efficient growth regulator combination.     

The importance of the explant on regeneration in thin cell layer technology

Summary The basic factor underlying the success of the tissue culture, large-scale micropropagation and genetic transformation of any plant species is regeneration. This has been achieved over the years through the use of various-sized explants ranging from protoplasts (small scale) to entire organs (large scale). Inherent problems underlie the use of either extreme, leading to both nonspecific morphogenic reactions in the latter, or to undesired necrosis in the former. This review investigates the importance of different aspects of a thin cell layer (TCL) explant, from its source to its size. TCLs, as a results of their size and origin, in combination with other controllable factors such as media and environmental conditions, have shown this system to be superior to the use of conventional explants. Numerous species that were previously unsuccessfully tissue-cultured have, with the use of TCL technology, resulted in their successful micropropagation and regeneration. These successes, based on the inherent qualities of the TCL explant—specific for a given species—are also examined.     

The effect of auxin on plant regeneration of wheat,barley and triticale

One of the basic components of a medium influencing somatic embryogenesis of cereals from immature embryos is the type of auxin. According to some researchers, phytohormones can also play an important role during Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. In this first part of research, the influence of three types of auxins used alone or in combination of two on somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in three cereal species has been tested. Eight cultivars of barley, five cultivars of wheat and three cultivars of triticale have been used. Efficiency of plant development on two regeneration media, with and without growth regulators has been compared. Efficiency of regeneration characterized by frequency of explants that form embryogenic callus ranged from 25% for wheat cultivar Torka to 100% for two barley cultivars. Mean number of plantlets regenerating per explant differed significantly (from 2 to 58) depending on the type of auxin in inducing media, the type of regenerating media as well as cultivar. The biggest differences in regeneration efficiency were observed between barley cultivars, however regeneration of plants occurred in all combinations tested. The best regeneration coefficients for most barley cultivars were obtained after culture on dicamba or dicamba with 2,4-D. However, in the case of highly regenerating cv Scarlett, the most effective culture media contained picloram or 2,4-D alone. The highest values of regeneration coefficients for two triticale cultivars (Wanad and Kargo) were obtained on picloram (26.1 and 21.4, respectively) and for `Gabo' on picloram with dicamba (12.6). The range of mean number of regenerated plantlets was from 12 to 30. Dicamba alone or lower concentrations of picloram with 2,4-D were the best media influencing embryogenic callus formation in five wheat cultivars. However, the highest values of regeneration coefficients ranging from 10.6 to 26.8 were obtained at lower concentrations of picloram with 2,4-D or picloram with dicamba. R2 regeneration medium containing growth regulators was significantly better for plantlet development in several combinations (cultivar and induction medium) than the one without growth regulators. Generally, regeneration coefficients for all tested cultivars of three cereal species on the best media were high, ranging from 5.5 for barley cultivar Rodion to 51.6 for another barley cultivar Scarlett. Plantlets developed normally, flowering and setting seed.     

Highly efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and plant regeneration system for genome engineering in tomato

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an important vegetable and nutritious crop plant worldwide. They are rich sources of several indispensable compounds such as lycopene, minerals, vitamins, carotenoids, essential amino acids, and bioactive polyphenols. Plant regeneration and Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation system from different explants in various genotypes of tomato are necessary for genetic improvement. Among diverse plant growth regulator (PGR) combinations and concentrations tested, Zeatin (ZEA) at 2.0 mg l^?1 in combination with 0.1 mg l^?1 indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) generated the most shoots/explant from the cotyledon of Arka Vikas (36.48 shoots/explant) and PED (24.68 shoots/explant), respectively. The hypocotyl explant produced 28.76 shoots/explant in Arka Vikas and 19.44 shoots/explant in PED. In contrast, leaf explant induced 23.54 shoots/explant in Arka Vikas and 17.64 shoots/explant in PED. The obtained multiple shoot buds from three explant types were elongated on a medium fortified with Gibberellic acid (GA₃) (1.0 mg l^?1), IAA (0.5 mg l^?1), and ZEA (0.5 mg l^?1) in both the cultivars. The rooting was observed on a medium amended with 0.5 mg l^?1 indole 3-butyric acid (IBA). The transformation efficiency was significantly improved by optimizing the pre-culture of explants, co-cultivation duration, bacterial density and infection time, and acetosyringone concentration. The presence of transgenes in the plant genome was validated using different methods like histochemical GUS assay, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and Southern blotting. The transformation efficiency was 42.8% in PED and 64.6% in Arka Vikas. A highly repeatable plant regeneration protocol was established by manipulating various plant growth regulators (PGRs) in two tomato cultivars (Arka Vikas and PED). The Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method was optimized using different explants like cotyledon, hypocotyl, and leaf of two tomato genotypes. The present study could be favourable to transferring desirable traits and precise genome editing techniques to develop superior tomato genotypes.

Dissecting the Concept of the Thin Cell Layer: Theoretical Basis and Practical Application of the Plant Growth Correction Factor to Apple,Cymbidium and Chrysanthemum

A thin cell layer (TCL) is a thin layer of plant cells. TCLs have served as a simple, but important biotechnological tool in plant science, with several dozen crop species having had tissue culture regeneration protocols developed using TCLs generated from multiple explant sources. There are two types of TCLs, transverse TCLs, or tTCLs and longitudinal TCLs, or lTCLs. The former is the most common, ranging from 100 μm to 1–2 mm in thickness, usually cutting through several tissue types. In contrast, the latter usually targets a very specific layer of cells or tissues, and may vary in length but is as thick as a tTCL. The developmental question that needs to be addressed will determine the choice between one or the other and its use in plant tissue culture. The often unappreciated beauty of the TCL is not so much in its actual regeneration capacity, but rather in its potential regeneration capacity. Herein, we use data from three model species, a woody temperate fruit tree, Malus sp. (apple; Rosaceae), and two herbaceous ornamentals, Cymbidium (orchid; Orchidaceae) and Dendranthema (chrysanthemum; Asteraceae), to demonstrate the theory and functionality of TCLs. Moreover, using a new concept, the plant growth correction factor, or GCF, the ability to theoretically predicts the organogenic outcome in vitro is presented through mathematical models based on the geometric analysis of explant size and shape. A new factor, the geometric factor, or GF, was also determined for all three plants to compare regeneration from different explant types with different shapes. The GF, which is calculated, is independent of plant species or any in vitro conditions, but depends only on the size and shape of the explant and on tissue that is capable of regeneration. The GF and GCF would, in theory, allow for the direct comparison of plant in vitro studies in different laboratories provided that explant size is known, and to predict the theoretical outcome of a regeneration protocol if different explants were to be used.     

Whole plant regeneration from the shoot apex ofArachis hypogaea L.

Summary Arachis hypogaea L. peanut, has been a difficult species to manipulate in tissue culture. Lack of a reliable and quick regeneration method for peanuts has proven to be one of the hindrances in the application of transformation protocols to the crop. A protocol to initiate shoot apex elongation and rooting of these shoots is described. This protocol was successful with two peanut cultivars. Shoot apices were isolated from germinated seedlings and placed on Murashige and Skoog salts containing N⁶-benzyladenine for shoot initiation. Once shoot elongation occurred, the explant was transferred to a rooting medium containing Murashige and Skoog salts and only one plant growth regulator, α-naphthalene acetic acid. In as few as 3 weeks, the explants began to root and could be transferred to soil. Forty-five percent of explants isolated from germinating peanut seeds would root on this medium. Elongation and rooting of the shoot apices were not hindered by the addition of an antibiotic to the medium, indicating that the regeneration method could be useful inAgrobacterium tume-faciens-mediated transformation protocols.     

A two-stage pretreatment of seedlings improves adventitious shoot regeneration in sugar beet (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Beta vulgaris</Emphasis> L.)

The effects of a two-stage pretreatment of seedlings on the subsequent shoot regeneration capacity were investigated. Pretreated seedlings were obtained by germinating seeds on three different germination media and then further culturing on six different growth media. Lamina and petiole explants of two sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) breeding lines were then excised from the pretreated seedlings and cultured on five different shoot regeneration media. In both breeding lines, petiole explants produced significantly more shoots than lamina explants with higher frequencies of organogenic capacities; petiole explants of the lines M1195 and ELK345 produced a mean of 2.1 and 2.7 shoots per explant while their lamina explants produced 1.5 and 2.2 shoots per explant, respectively. A genotypic variation was evident as the line ELK345 was more productive for shoot development from both types of explants. In overall comparisons of different germination, growth and regeneration media, germination medium was most effective when supplemented with 0.5 mg/l 6-benzyladenine (BA) while both growth and regeneration media were most productive when contained a combination of 0.25 mg/l BA and 0.10 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Of all the treatments tested, the highest mean number of shoots per explant (8.3 shoots) and frequency of organogenic explants (75.6%) were obtained on regeneration medium supplemented with 0.25 mg/l BA and 0.10 mg/l IBA when petiole explants of the line ELK345 were excised from the seedlings that had been germinated on medium containing 0.5 mg/l BA followed by further growth on medium containing 0.25 mg/l BA and 0.10 mg/l IBA.     

In vitro regeneration of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) from seedling cotyledon and hypocotyl explants

The goal of this study was to develop an efficient regeneration protocol to be used for genetic transformation of sesame. Published regeneration methods using benzyladenine (BA) and 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) were unsuccessful for the cultivars used herein. Experiments were carried out using cotyledon and hypocotyl explants from the cultivar Mtwara-2. Later the optimised culture conditions were used to investigate the regeneration response of different genotypes. There was significant interaction between hormone treatments and macronutrients for shoot and root regeneration. Results also showed that shoot regeneration was significantly influenced by explant type. Shoots were only obtained from cotyledons whereas both cotyledons and hypocotyls could produce roots. Modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with N6 macronutrients resulted in twice the shoot regeneration frequency obtained with ½MS macronutrients in the presence of thidiazuron (TDZ). The shoot regeneration frequency was significantly reduced when BA was used in place of TDZ. On shoot regeneration medium containing BA and NAA, only roots were formed. Replacing NAA with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) greatly improved the regeneration of shoots. The optimum growth regulator combination for shoot regeneration was 20 μM TDZ together with 2.5 μM IAA, which gave a frequency of 63% and 4.4 shoots per regenerating explant for the best cultivar Ex-El. Genotypic differences were significant both for the number of explants regenerating shoots and the number of shoots produced per regenerating explant.     

Responsive regions for direct organogenesis in sunflower cotyledons

Regeneration efficiency from three different regions of cotyledonary explants was examined in six sunflower inbred lines. Proximal, middle and distal regions from seedling cotyledons were cultured on regeneration medium supplemented with growth regulators. Plant regeneration by direct organogenesis was observed after four weeks. Significant differences among inbred lines were found for regeneration percentage and average number of shoots per total explants. Also a decreasing regeneration capacity was observed from proximal to distal sections for all inbred lines. Regeneration ability from cotyledonary explants in this species is strongly influenced by the genotype and by the region from which the explant was obtained. The distance to the cotyledonary node plays a preponderant role in the expression of shoot forming capacity. Shoot differentiation via seedling cotyledons depends upon the presence of the proximal region of cotyledon regardless of the genotype.     

Artemisinin production by shoot regeneration of Artemisia annua L. using thidiazuron

An efficient in vitro method for multiple shoot bud induction and regeneration has been developed in Artemisia annua L. using leaf and stem explants in various concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators to evaluate the frequency of regeneration. The sources of explants as well as plant growth regulators in the medium were found to influence the multiple shoot induction. The result shows that the stem segment cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/l thidiazuron (TDZ) gave a perfect shoot formation (100%) and good shoot multiplication (57 shoots/explant) after 2 weeks of culture. Healthy regenerated shoots were elongated and rooted in MS medium without hormones. The artemisinin content in plants regenerated from stem explants using 0.1 mg/l TDZ was (3.36 +/- 0.36) microg/mg dry weight and two-fold higher than that of in vitro grown plants of the same age [(1.73 -/+ 0.23) microg/mg DW]. This system exhibited a potential for a rapid propagation of shoots from the stem explant and makes it possible to develop a clonal propagation of A. annua.     

Effects of sodium nitroprusside on shoot multiplication and regeneration of Vanilla planifolia Andrews

Nitric oxide (NO) plays diverse roles in the growth and development of plants. The effects of a NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), on shoot multiplication and regeneration of Vanilla planifolia Andrews have been studied. Nodal segments of V. planifolia were used as explants to initiate shoots. The number of shoots per explant showed a significant increase in the presence of SNP and more than 93% of explants formed shoots. Supplementation of 10.0 μM SNP to Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium containing 1.0 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) produced the highest number of shoots per explant (10.33) after 60 d of culture. However, in this treatment, shoot length (3.76 cm) was less than in the other treatments, except for the plant growth regulator-free MS medium. MS medium containing only 1.0 mg/L BAP produced the highest shoot length (4.49 cm) with a mean number of 6.26 shoots per explant. These findings indicate that NO stimulated shoot development and may be considered as an intermediary of adventitious shoot regeneration, as has been suggested for other plant species.
