Cell cultures of soybean(Glycine max(L.) Merrill ‘Acme’) were exposed to media containing 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram) for 15 days. Picloram also was supplied once in droplets (water) to cotyledons of 10 to 13-day-old seedlings of cotton(Gossypium hirsutumL. ‘Champion’). The amounts of picloram necessary to reach and exceed the 50% tolerance limit (TL50) of the cell cultures (inhibition) and of the primary leaf buds (toxicity) were established, and internal picloram concentrations then were determined. Internal concentrations at the TL50were 0.17 nM/g fresh weight and 14.7 nM/g fresh weight for cell cultures and leaf buds, respectively. These values are approximately 10−7and 10−5molar. In leaf buds, concentrations increased rapidly for 36 hr after treatment and declined slowly thereafter. Primary leaf buds accumulated up to several times the lethal internal concentration of picloram when the dosage to the cotyledons was increased by one order of magnitude.

Experiments with similar experimental design, soil, and planting date were conducted between 1975 and 1979 to evaluate the interference of jimsonweed on soybeans and cotton in Alabama (AL), Arkansas (AR), and Mississippi (MS). Jimsonweed densities were 0, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 plants 12 m−1of row. Because of variation in rainfall patterns, geographic region influenced jimsonweed interference in cotton but not in soybeans. Even though jimsonweed interference was reduced by lack of rainfall, jimsonweed was more competitive in the less competitive cotton than in soybeans. Jimsonweed at 64 plants 12 m−1of row was more competitive with cotton than soybeans, causing a 56 and 16% yield reduction, respectively. Position of jimsonweed to the soybean row did not influence competitiveness. Interspecific interference with soybeans caused one-third more reduction in jimsonweed fresh weight and capsules per plant than interspecific interference with cotton. The potential for jimsonweed to become a problem in southern soybeans is less than its potential in cotton because of the competitive ability of soybeans to reduce the growth and reproductive potential of jimsonweed.

The double pot technique was used to study the effects of uptake site of fluridone {1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-[3-(trifluoromethyl—phenyl]-4(1H)-pyridinone} on early shoot and root development of soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Williams’] and cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL. ‘Acala SJ-1′). Soybean is susceptible and cotton is resistant to fluridone. Root uptake in soybean resulted in increased shoot length in the epicotyl and shoot apex, reduced shoot fresh weight, chlorosis of primary and trifoliolate leaves, as well as reduced root length, branching, and fresh weight. Shoot uptake resulted in reduced shoot length above the hypocotyl, reduced shoot weight, severe chlorosis of primary leaves, and inhibition of trifoliolate leaf formation. The reduction in the root length, branching, and weight was less by shoot uptake than by root uptake. In cotton, root uptake resulted in reduced shoot length in the epicotyl and shoot apex, slight reduction in shoot weight, no effect on chlorosis of cotyledon leaves, moderate to slight chlorosis of the true leaves, and no effect on root length, branching, or fresh weight. Shoot uptake resulted in reduced length of all shoot components and shoot weight, chlorosis of cotyledon leaves and the true leaves, and reduced root length, branching, and weight. Compared to soybean, cotton required much higher fluridone concentrations to show the above effects. It was generally concluded that in soybean, uptake by both the root and the shoot contributed significantly to the injury, whereas in cotton, shoot uptake was relatively more important.

Callus Cell

The physiological characteristics of the callus cell cultures of Alhagi persarum Boiss et Buhse, a member of the legume family, widely used in folk medicine, have been studied. It was shown that the source of the explant was an important factor in the initiation of callusogenesis: more intense callusogenesis (almost 100%) was observed for explants from various organs of sterile seedlings, rather than intact plants (less than 30%). As a result, more than 20 lines of morphologically different callus cell cultures were obtained, and the growth parameters for the 5 most intensively growing lines were determined. The composition of fatty acids (FA) of total lipids and secondary metabolites in the most physiologically stable callus line Aр-207 was analyzed. Using capillary gas-liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GLC-MS), 19 individual C12--C24 FAs were identified, the main fraction of which were palmitic (~ 23%), stearic (~ 22%), linoleic (~ 14%) and α-linolenic (~ 33%) acids. The established atypical ratio of FAs (a simultaneous high content of both saturated FAs and polyunsaturated α-linolenic acid) is possibly due to the adaptation of cells to in vitro growth conditions. Phytochemical analysis of the secondary metabolites was carried out using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometric detection (UPLC MS). Compounds belonging to different structural groups of isoflavones were found. Aglycones (calycosin, formononetin and afrormosin isomer), glucosides (formononetin glucoside), as well as esters of glucosides (malonylglycosides of calicosin, formononetin, afrormosin isomers, glycitein and genistein) were detected. These secondary metabolites are widespread in plants of the Fabaceae family; however, isoflavones are rare in representatives of the Alhagi genus. The presence of malonylated isoflavone glycosides in Alhagi spp. was shown for the first time. endemic plant species, Alhagi, in vitro cell culture, callus cell culture, isoflavones, fatty acids All studies were carried out using the equipment of the "Experimental Biotechnological Facility" and the "All-Russian Collection of Cell Cultures of Higher Plants" of IРР RAS.

Samples of lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, spleen, and lymph node from pigs with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome from California (USA) and samples of mesenteric lymph nodes from similarly diseased pigs from Brittany (France) were examined by light microscopy, in situ hybridization (ISH), and/or virus isolation. Whole genomic probes for porcine circovirus (PCV) and chicken anemia virus (CAV) were used for ISH. Tissue homogenate supernatants were inoculated onto PK/15 cells for virus isolation, and the presence of viral antigen and viral particles was verified by indirect immunofluorescence, ISH, and electron microscopy. Histologic examination of lung from pigs from California revealed interstitial pneumonia, alveolar epithelial hyperplasia, and basophilic nuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions in mononuclear cell infiltrates and various pulmonary epithelial cells. Granulomatous lymphadenitis with syncytial cells typified the lesions seen in the pigs from France. PCV-like nucleic acid was detected by ISH in lung, pancreas, lymph node, kidney, and liver in pigs from California. Positive signal was also obtained in lymph node sections from pigs from France. Probes for CAV were consistently negative. PK/15 cell cultures inoculated with lung preparations from diseased California pigs and mesenteric lymph node preparations from pigs from France had positive fluorescence by indirect staining for PCV using pooled polyclonal pig sera and hyperimmune rabbit serum and had variable staining with a panel of 7 monoclonal antibodies specific for cell culture contaminant PCV. PCV-like nucleic acid was also detected by ISH in cell cultures. Cytopathic effect was not observed Electron microscopic examination of inoculated cell cultures revealed 17-nm viral particles morphologically consistent with PCV No other virus particles were observed. Although genomic analysis for the definitive identification of these viral isolates remains to be done, the evidence provided strongly suggests that these tissue isolates are closely related to, although antigenically distinct from, the original PCV cell culture contaminant.

Binary nano-biocomposite 3D scaffolds of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)—gelatine were fabricated without using chemical crosslinking additives. Controlled oxidative treatment allowed introducing carboxyl or carbonyl functionalities on the surface of CNCs responsible for the crosslinking of gelatine polymers. The obtained composites were characterized for their physical-chemical properties. Their biocompatibility towards different cell cultures was evaluated through MTT and LDH assays, cellular adhesion and proliferation experiments. Gelatine composites reinforced with carbonyl-modified CNCs showed the most performing swelling/degradation profile and the most promising adhesion and proliferation properties towards cell lines, suggesting their potential application in the field of tissue engineering.

e15045 Background: Berberine is an alkaloid compound with a structure that is highly similar to that of intercalating agents. It affects numerous cell signaling pathways and is widely studied as potential anticancer drug. It is known that berberine affects cancer cells migration through metalloproteinase-2 inhibition, but this effect was never studied on glioma cells. Anti-migratory drugs are of special interest in brain cancer therapy since glioma's highly invasive nature makes total surgical removal of tumor practically impossible. The aim of the study was to evaluate berberine anti-migratory activity on glioma cells. Methods: Cell migration capacity of T98G and U87MG cell lines, as well as primary glioma cell culture established in our laboratory, was assessed via standard wound healing assay with automated image acquisition and analysis on Lionheart FX (BioTek) cell imager. Prior to assay setting up cell cultures were maintained in DMEM medium with L-glutamine (1 μM) (Gibco) and 10% FBS (Gibco) at 37C0 and 5.0% CO2. Cells were seeded at 250 000 cells per well on 24-well plates and incubated overnight in order to attach to plate bottom. After that a vertical wound was made manually in each well, and berberine was added to experimental wells to final concentration 50 mg/L. Plates with cells were continuously incubated and photographed in cell imager at 37C0 and 5.0% CO2. The extent of cells migration was measured as the percent of wound area decrease after 24 hours of incubation in relation to starting time point. Data are given as: Mean ± 95% confidence interval. Results: In our study we berberine exhibited anti-migratory activity in all cell cultures under study. In rather fast growing primary cell culture wound area decrease was 99.23%±0.62% in control sample and 91.75%±0.28% in experimental sample. The difference was small but significant at p < 0.001 level (df = 30). Popular permanent glioma cell lines T98G and U87MG showed more prominent decrease in studied parameter with higher degree of variance at the same time. In T98G wound area decrease was 71.6%±12.3% in control and 48.8%± 7.6% in experimental samples after 24 hours of cultivation in presence of 50 mg/L berberine. While U87MG demonstrated 60.28%±5.13% and 37.5%± 8.34% wound area decrease accordingly. The obtained difference between control and experimental groups in permanent cell cultures was statistically significant at the 0.05 level (df = 30). Conclusions: Our preliminary research proved berberine to be potent anti-migratory agent in glioma treatment. Further investigations are needed to evaluate its ability to inhibit glioma cell expansion in vivo.

The activity of a soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) lectin gene promoter was investigated in transgenic cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L.) with the view to using this promoter for the seed-specific alteration of gossypol, a secondary metabolite in cotton that has adverse effects on the nutritional value of cottonseed products like oil and protein-rich meal. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation generated stable transformants containing a construct with the lectin promoter fused to the β-glucuronidase reporter gene (pLeGUS). Fluorometric GUS assays and northern hybridization detected strong promoter activity during embryo development. GUS activity in developing embryos was detected as early as 10 d post-anthesis (dpa), peaking late in embryo maturation. Enzyme activity persisted in imbibed mature seed, and negligible activity remained detectable in the roots and cotyledons of 7-d-old seedlings. No GUS activity was detected in leaves and squares of mature plants. GUS transcripts increased during embryo development to peak about 35 dpa, declining to a low level in imbibed mature seed. No transcripts were detected in roots, cotyledons, leaves or squares. Histochemical GUS activity staining indicated promoter activity in all cells of the cotyledons, including the flattened cells of the gossypol glands, the presumed site of synthesis of gossypol. This study concluded that the soybean lectin gene promoter is a useful tool for the seed-specific expression of transgenes in cotton.

Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don is an important herbal plant. There are two important alkaloids, vinblastine and vincristine, use in anti-cancer drugs. In this study production of the two alkaloids was enhanced in C. roseus cell cultures, in a Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.5 mg/L kinetin and 30 g/L sucrose, by adding 0, 50, 100, 250 or 500 mg/L medium molecular weight chitosan or chitosan derived from shrimp shell. After 14 days of culture, the cell suspension at stationary phase in the 100 mg/L medium molecular weight chitosan could produce the highest amounts of vinblastine and vincristine at 4.15 and 5.48 &micro;g/mg cell dry weight, respectively. At the same time, the controls (0 mg/L chitosan) produced the two alkaloids at only 2.43 and 2.49 &micro;g/mg cell dry weight, respectively. For chitosan from shrimp shell, it was found that 100 mg/L chitosan could lead to the highest quantity of 4.09 &micro;g vinblastine/mg cell dry weight. The highest amount of 5.47 &micro;g vincristine/mg cell dry weight was obtained when 250 mg/L chitosan was added.
