High-frequency plant regeneration from hypocotyl- and leaf-derived tissue cultures of the tropical pasture legume Stylosanthes humilis

Stylosanthes humilis, the predominant pasture legume in North Queensland, has been collected at three different stages of growth, viz. flowering, seeded, and senescence. The plants have been divided into stem, leaf, root, seed, and pod and each fraction has been analysed for the following types of polysaccharide components: water- solubles, pectic substances, hemicelluloses, and cellulose. The absolute monosaccharide composition of each of these fractions has been determined by hydrolysis and gas chromatography. Most of the polysaccharide components are similar in nature to those previously found in temperate pasture legumes (e.g. Medicago sativa), but the seeds are unusual among legumes in containing no galactomannan and there is evidence of the presence of a glucomannan in all parts of the plant.

Pot Culture

Nine tropical and one temperate pasture legume species were grown in pots of soil with varying additions of phosphate. Growth responses and chemical conlposition of the plant tops were recorded, and from the latter, critical percentages of phosphorus were established. These were verified by using data from two soils in the pot culture investigation and a total of six field sites. Glycine javanica and Desmodium intortum were the most responsive species in pots, and Stylosanthes humilis and Lotononis bainesii were the least responsive species. The quantity of phosphorus per pot accumulated in the tops of the plants was greatest for Stylosanthes humilis and Lotononis bainesii at all treatment levels. Critical percentages of phosphorus in the tops of Phaseolus Iathyroides, Phaseolus atropurpureus, Stylosanthes humilis, Centrosema pubescens, Glycine javanica, Lotononis bainesii, Medicago sativa, Desmodium uncinatum, Desmodium intortum, and Vigna luteola sampled at the immediate pre-flowering stage of growth were 0.20, 0.24, 0.17, 0.16, 0.23, 0.17, 0.24, 0.23, 0.22, and 0.25% phosphorus respectively.
