Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), a difficult-to-eradicate virus from apple propagative materials, causes serious damage to apple production. The use of virus-free plants has been and is an effective strategy for control of plant viral diseases. This study aimed to eradicate ASGV from virus-infected in-vitro-cultured shoots of four apple cultivars and one rootstock by combining thermotherapy with cryotherapy. In vitro stock shoots infected with ASGV were thermo-treated using an alternating temperature of 36°C (day) and 32°C (night). Shoot tips were excised from the treated stock shoots and subjected to cryotherapy. Results showed that, although thermotherapy did not influence shoot survival rates, it reduced shoot growth and proliferation of in vitro shoots. Shoot regrowth rates decreased while virus eradication frequencies increased in cryo-treated shoot tips as time durations of thermotherapy increased from 0 to 6 weeks. Shoot regrowth and frequency of virus eradication were positively and negatively correlated, respectively, with the size of shoot tips. The protocol established here yielded shoot regrowth rates and virus eradication frequencies of 33 to 76% and 30 to 100%, respectively, in the four apple cultivars and one rootstock. Thermotherapy altered virus distribution patterns, subsequently resulting in production of a larger virus-free area in the thermo-treated shoot tips. Many cells in the top layers of apical dome and some cells in the youngest leaf primordia survived in cryo-treated shoot tips; these cells were most likely free of virus infection. Thus, plants regenerated from the procedure of combining thermotherapy with cryotherapy were free of ASGV, as judged by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the widest-spectrum technique reported thus far for the production of ASGV-free plants and provides a novel biotechnology for the production of virus-free plants in Malus spp.

Abstract Improvements of existing cryopreservation protocols are necessary to facilitate long-term preservation of plant germplasm and the cryotherapy-effect of pathogen eradication. This study reported a vitrification (V) cryo-foil/plate methods for cryopreservation of shoot tips and cryotherapy effect in ‘Pink Lady’ apple. In V cryo-foil/plate protocols, shoot tips were first attached onto aluminum foils/plates using calcium alginate before other procedures. Shoot tips cryopreserved by V cryo-foil required 6.1 weeks to fully recover and 53% of shoot regrowth was obtained, comparable to the Dv cryopreservation. Similar regrowth levels were produced between applying V cryo-foil and Dv cryopreservation to another 4 Malus genotypes. Histological observations in shoot tips cryopreserved by Dv and V cryo-foil found only those with surviving apical dome and leaf primordia (LPs) could recover after cryopreservation. In apical meristem of shoot tips cryopreserved by Dv and V cryo-foil, higher surviving probability was detected from the V cryo-foil protocol, and the young LPs showed the highest level of surviving. Virus detection in cryo-derived plants showed apple stem grooving virus and apple chlorotic leaf spot virus were all preserved after cryopreservation, and higher eradication efficiency of apple stem pitting virus (70%) was produced by Dv than the 55% of V cryo-foil. These results supported applying V cryo-foil as an improvement to the widely applied Dv method in shoot tip cryopreservation, and also revealed a seesaw mode between shoot recovery and cryotherapy effect. Once the seesaw moves to increase the recovery after cryopreservation, the cryotherapy-effect on the other side would be decreased.

AbstractThe popularity of nanoparticles (NPs) is continuously increasing. To date, however, there has been little research on the application of NPs in plant cryopreservation, i.e. storage of tissues in liquid nitrogen (LN). The aim of this study is to analyze the effect and evaluate the usefulness of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in regard to cryobiology studies. In vitro-derived shoot tips of Lamprocapnos spectabilis ‘Valentine’ were cryopreserved with the encapsulation-vitrification protocol. Gold nanoparticles (at 10–30 ppm concentration; 13 nm in size) were added either into the preculture medium; to the protective bead matrix during encapsulation; or to the recovery medium after rewarming of samples. The control plants were produced from cryopreserved explants non-treated with nanoparticles or treated with colloid dispersion medium without NPs. A non-LN-treated standard was also considered. The influence of AuNPs on the cryopreservation efficiency was determined by evaluating the recovery rate of explants and their morphogenic response; the membrane stability index (MSI); the concentration of pigments in shoots; and the antioxidant enzymes activity. The genetic stability of the plant material was evaluated using Start Codon Targeted Polymorphism (SCoT) markers. It was found that 10 ppm of AuNPs added into the alginate bead matrix improved the recovery level of LN-derived shoot tips (70.0%) compared to the non-NPs-treated cryopreserved control (50.5%). On the other hand, the presence of nanoparticles in the recovery medium had a deleterious effect on the survival of explants. AuNPs usually had no impact on the MSI (73.9–85.9%), except for those added into the recovery medium at the concentration of 30 ppm (decline to 55.8%). All LN-derived shoots were shorter and contained less chlorophyll and carotenoids than the untreated standard. Moreover, the application of AuNPs affected the enzymatic activity in L. spectabilis. Minor genetic variation was found in 8.6% of plants if AuNPs were added either into the preculture medium (at 10 and 20 ppm) or to the alginate matrix (at 30 ppm). In conclusion, AuNPs added at a lower concentration (10 ppm) into the protective bead matrix can significantly improve the cryopreservation efficiency in L. spectabilis with no alternation in the DNA sequence.

(1) Background: The World Health Organization adopted a strategy for the Global Health Sector on Viral Hepatitis in 2016, with the main objective of eliminating hepatitis C virus (HCV) by 2030. In this work, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HCV infection and risk factors in a Romanian village using population-based screening as part of the global C virus eradication program. (2) Methods: We conducted a prospective study from March 2019 to February 2020, based on a strategy as part of a project designed to educate, screen, treat and eliminate HCV infection in all adults in a village located in Northeastern Romania. (3) Results: In total, 3507 subjects were invited to be screened by rapid diagnostic orientation tests (RDOT). Overall, 2945 (84%) subjects were tested, out of whom 78 (2.64%) were found to have positive HCV antibodies and were scheduled for further evaluation in a tertiary center of gastroenterology/hepatology in order to be linked to care. In total, 66 (85%) subjects presented for evaluation and 55 (83%) had detectable HCV RNA. Of these, 54 (98%) completed antiviral treatment and 53 (99%) obtained a sustained virological response. (4) Conclusions: The elimination of hepatitis C worldwide has a higher chance of success if micro-elimination strategies based on mass screening are adopted.

Regeneration Response

The present study demonstrates the potential of the alginate encapsulation of shoot tips and nodal segments of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, the short-term cold storage of artificial seeds and subsequent successful conversion to desirable, uniform and genetically stable plantlets. Shoot tips and first-node segments below them, derived from shoots of in vitro cultures, responded better than second-to-fourth-node segments on agar-solidified Murashige and Skoog (MS) nutrient medium and thus, they were used as explants for alginate encapsulation. Explant encapsulation in 2.5% sodium alginate in combination with 50 mM of calcium chloride resulted in the production of soft beads, while hardening in 100 mM of calcium chloride formed firm beads of uniform globular shape, suitable for handling. The addition of liquid MS nutrient medium in the sodium alginate solution doubled the subsequent germination response of the beads. The maintenance of alginate beads under light favored their germination response compared to maintenance in darkness. Encapsulated shoot tip explants of gardenia, which were stored at 4 °C for 4, 8 or 12 weeks, showed a gradual decline in their regeneration response (73.3, 68.9, 53.3%, respectively), whereas, non-encapsulated explants (naked), stored under the same time durations of cold conditions, exhibited a sharp decline in regeneration response up to entirely zeroing (48.9, 11.1, 0.0%, respectively). Shoots, derived from 12-week cold-stored encapsulated explants, were easily rooted in solid MS nutrient medium with the addition of 0.5 μM of Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and after transplantation of the rooted plantlets individually to pots containing a peat–perlite (3:1, v/v) substrate, they were successfully acclimatized in the greenhouse under the gradual reduction of 75 or 50% shading with survival rates of 95–100%. The genetic stability of the acclimatized plantlets was assessed and compared with the mother plant using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. ISSR analysis confirmed that all regenerated plantlets were genetically identical to the mother plant. This procedure of artificial seed production could be useful for the short-term storage of germplasm and the production of genetically identical and stable plants as an alternative method of micropropagation in Gardenia jasminoides.
