In vitro response of Indica rice microspores subjected to cold stress: a cytological and histological perspective

Indica rice varieties are recalcitrant to culture and hence the culture media should be supplemented with additional nutrients to provide energy and osmotic potential for best in vitro response. Combinations of plant growth regulators have profound influence on callus induction and regeneration potential of the selected genotypes. In addition, concentration and choice of gelling agents also have their effect on regeneration of indica rice varieties. Impact of L-Proline, and Casein Hydrolysate on tissue culture response of selected indica rice varieties is discussed and the best choice of gelling agent and their in vitro response is elucidated.

In Vitro Response

In vitro response of four local Indica rice cultivars viz. Sadamota, Kachamota, Moulata and Dudhkalam was evaluated. The aim of this study is to develop an efficient protocol for callus induction, plant regeneration and to observe the effect of gamma radiation on plant regeneration for creating possible genetic variability. In Different concentration of 2,4-D and growth regulators were supplemented with MS medium (Murashige and Skoog’s) to observe their callus induction frequency using mature embryo as explant. Among the cutivars, the highest primary callus (92.55%) as well as embryogenic callus induction (56.26%) was showed in sadamota at 3.0 mgl-1 2,4-D and 10 mgl-1 kinetin under dark condition. Twenty one days old embryogenic calli were exposed to 0, 2, 4 and 6 Gy of gamma rays and transferred to regeneration medium. Both callus growth and regeneration capacity were found to be decreased with increasing level of exposure to gamma rays. The doses of 4 Gy of gamma radiation were found to be the 50% inhibition dose for callus growth and plant regeneration in sadamota and kachamota, repectively whereas the 50% inhibition dose for moulata and dudhkalam at 2 Gy. This results indicate that sentivity of gamma radiation on rice callus depends on genotype of a genus.

Increasing Demand

Due to growing population, there is an increasing demand of rice production but the productivity of rice is lessened day by day. To overcome this problem various biotechnological tools can be used for developing various rice varieties. However, the lack of a simple and efficient protocol for callus induction, embryogenic callus formation and quick plant regeneration in this cereal crop. In this study embryogenic calli from mature seeds of five indica rice varieties viz. Binadhan-5, Binadhan-6, BRRI dhan-48, BRRI dhan-58 and IR-64were observed that is done in four different concentration of growth regulators (2,4-D). The highest callus induction were observed in media containing 2 mg/L 2,4-D. Among those varieties BRRI dhan-48 showed highest rate of callus induction. In this experiment Agrobacterium mediated gene transfer is also tried although plants were found nut need to be tested by molecular methods and tested the desired characters for selecting those plantlets as transgenic plant. This study will be useful for selecting suitable callus induction medium for callus induction in future.

The thioredoxin-h (Trx-h) family of Arabidopsis thaliana comprises cytosolic disulfide reductases. However, the physiological function of Trx-h2, which contains an additional 19 amino acids at its N-terminus, remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the molecular function of Trx-h2 both in vitro and in vivo and found that Arabidopsis Trx-h2 overexpression (Trx-h2OE) lines showed significantly longer roots than wild-type plants under cold stress. Therefore, we further investigated the role of Trx-h2 under cold stress. Our results revealed that Trx-h2 functions as an RNA chaperone by melting misfolded and non-functional RNAs, and by facilitating their correct folding into active forms with native conformation. We showed that Trx-h2 binds to and efficiently melts nucleic acids (ssDNA, dsDNA, and RNA), and facilitates the export of mRNAs from the nucleus to the cytoplasm under cold stress. Moreover, overexpression of Trx-h2 increased the survival rate of the cold-sensitive E. coli BX04 cells under low temperature. Thus, our data show that Trx-h2 performs function as an RNA chaperone under cold stress, thus increasing plant cold tolerance.

Mammary Epithelia

Excessive myofibroblast activation, which leads to dysregulated collagen deposition and the stiffening of the extracellular matrix (ECM), plays pivotal roles in cancer initiation and progression. Cumulative evidence attests to the cancer-causing effects of a number of fibrogenic factors found in the environment, diseases and drugs. While identifying such factors largely depends on epidemiological studies, it would be of great importance to develop a robust in vitro method to demonstrate the causal relationship between fibrosis and cancer. Here, we tested whether our recently developed organotypic three-dimensional (3D) co-culture would be suitable for that purpose. This co-culture system utilizes the discontinuous ECM to separately culture mammary epithelia and fibroblasts in the discrete matrices to model the complexity of the mammary gland. We observed that pharmaceutical deprivation of nitric oxide (NO) in 3D co-cultures induced myofibroblast differentiation of the stroma as well as the occurrence of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the parenchyma. Such in vitro response to NO deprivation was unique to co-cultures and closely mimicked the phenotype of NO-depleted mammary glands exhibiting stromal desmoplasia and precancerous lesions undergoing EMT. These results suggest that this novel 3D co-culture system could be utilized in the deep mechanistic studies of the linkage between fibrosis and cancer.
