Tissue Culture Plantlets

In order to breed virus-free plantlets of the kiwifruit cultivar “Guichang,” which belongs to Actinidia deliciosa, in this study, stem segments with buds were used as explants, the establishment of a tissue culture rapid propagation system was carried out, and then the virus status of tissue culture plantlets was detected via the real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) method. The tissue culture rapid propagation system proved that the contamination and browning rates could be controlled below 20% and the survival rate could be exceeded by 70% when the single bud stem segment of “Guichang” kiwifruit was sterilized with 70% alcohol for 30–60 s and 15% NaClO for 15 min, respectively. Meanwhile, we screened the hormone concentration to get better results, and the appropriate medium for adventitious bud induction was MS + 6-BA (1.0 mg/L) + IBA (0.2 mg/L); for proliferation, it was MS + 6-BA (1.0 mg/L) + IBA (0.1 mg/L); and for rooting, it was 1/2 MS + IBA (0.3 mg/L), and the efficiency of induction, proliferation, and rooting could reach 74.07%, 79.63%, and 85.18%, respectively. In addition, the RT-qPCR results demonstrated that the infection rate of 9 viruses: apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Actinidia virus X (AVX), cucumber necrosis virus (CNV), ribgrass mosaic virus (RMV), citrus leaf blotch virus (CLBV), Actinidia virus B (AcVB), Pelargonium zonate spot virus (PZSV), and cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV) in the “Guichang” kiwifruit tissue culture plantlets was 0. This study could lay a foundation for the production of “Guichang” kiwifruit tissue culture seedlings, and the medium formula provided in this study was useful for the industrial rapid propagation of “Guichang” plantlets.

Culture Process

Abstract Background: Tissue culture and rapid propagation technology is an important way to solve the difficulties of plant propagation. This experiment aims to explore the appropriate conditions at each stage of the red maple’s tissue culture process and to obtain plantlets, thus providing a theoretical basis for the establishment of the red maple’s tissue culture system. Results: The results showed that the stem segment is the most suitable explant for inducing embryogenic callus. The MS (Murashige&Skoog) +0.8 mg/L TDZ (Thidiazuron) +1.0 mg/L 6-BA (6-Benzylaminopurine) +0.5 mg/L IAA(Indole-3-acetic acid) +35 g/L sucrose+7.5 g/L semi-fixed medium was the best for callus formation. When selecting type Ⅵ callus as embryonic callus induction material, MS+0.6 mg/L TDZ+0.5 mg/L 6-BA +2.0 mg/L IAA +35 g/L sucrose+7.5 g/L semi-fixed medium can get embryonic callus. The optimal medium for adventitious bud induction is MS+1.0 mg/L TDZ+3.0 mg/L 6-BA+0.2 mg/L NAA (1-Naphthaleneacetic acid)+1.2 mg/L IAA+35 g/L sucrose+7.5 g/L semi-fixed medium. The induction rate of adventitious roots in MS+0.6 mg/L TDZ+1.0 mg/L 6-BA+3 mg/L NAA+35 g/L sucrose+7.5 g/L semi-fixed medium was the highest, reaching 76%. Conclusions: In the course of our research, we found that PGRs play an important role in the callus induction stage, and the effect of TDZ is particularly obvious; The callus cells grow and proliferate according to the "S" growth curve, and can be sub-cultured when the highest growth point is reached to maintain the rapid proliferation of the callus cells and to avoid inactivation of callus caused by tight niche.

Olive Varieties

Forty samples representing 14 native Albanian and two foreign olive varieties were collected from an olive varietal collection plot in the Valias region (Tirana, Albania). The samples were assayed by RT-PCR for presence of olive-infecting viruses, including arabis mosaic virus (ArMV), cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), olive latent ringspot virus (OLRSV), olive latent virus 1 (OLV-1), olive leaf yellowing-associated virus (OLYaV), strawberry latent ringspot virus (SLRSV) and by PCR for the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf). Ninety-eight percent of the samples were infected with at least one virus. OLYaV was the most prevalent (85% of samples), followed by OLV-1 (50%), OLRSV (48%), CMV (28%), SLRSV (3%) and CLRV (5%), whereas ArMV and Xf were absent. Fifty-five percent of the samples were infected with one virus, 13% with two viruses, 20% with three, and 5% with four. Analyses of the nucleotide sequences of the Albanian virus isolates generally showed low genetic variability, and that most were phylogenetically related to Mediterranean isolates, in particular to those from Greece and Italy. Five olive trees, representing three native cultivars (‘Managiel’, ‘Kalinjot’ and ‘Kushan-Preze’) and one foreign (‘Leccino’), were found to be plants of the Conformitas Agraria Communitatis (“CAC”) category i.e. free of ArMV, CLRV, SLRSV and OLYaV. Only one tree of the native cultivar ‘Ulliri i kuq’ was free of all tested viruses, so this is plant material of the “Virus-tested” category. Olives derived from both categories could be used for propagation of standard quality plant materiel in a future certification programme for olive in Albania. This is the first report of CLRV, OLRSV, CMV and OLV-1 in Albania. The study also reveals the precarious health status of native olive varieties in the Valias varietal collection plot. However, the discovery of six plants representing two certifiable categories is a first step in a future olive tree certification program in the country.

During the summers of 2001 and 2002, Japanese peony (Paeonia albiflora Pall., synonym P. lactiflora, family Paeoniaceae) plants, cultivated in the Botanical Garden of the University of Parma (Emilia Romagna Region of northern Italy), were found affected by a disease with virus-like symptoms. The oldest leaves showed yellow, mosaic, oak-like arabesques and line-patterns; the remaining leaves and pink flowers were symptomless. A disease of peony, known as peony ring spot disease, has been reported worldwide (Europe, United States, Japan, and New Zeland) for several years and is associated with strains of Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) (1). Electron microscopic observations of peony leaf sap (leaf dip preparations stained with uranyl acetate and phospotungstic acid) did not show the presence of any rod-shaped virus particles, including TRV. Mechanical inoculations of sap from symptomatic leaves caused symptoms typical of Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) on Chenopodium amaranticolor Coste & Reyn. (local chlorotic and necrotic lesions and systemic periveinal line-patterns), Ocimum basilicum L. (yellow mosaic), Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. (red, local necrotic lesions), and Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun (white, necrotic lesions, systemic leaf malformation, and mosaic), and N. glutinosa L. (systemic leaf variegation). Symptomatic leaves of peony and infected herbaceous plants were analyzed for virus presence by protein A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (PAS-ELISA). The polyclonal antisera tested were those to AMV (PVAS 92, American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA), AMV-Vinca minor L. (DiSTA collection, Italy), and the nepoviruses Strawberry latent ringspot virus, Tomato ringspot virus, and Cherry leaf roll virus. PAS-ELISA revealed only the presence of AMV. Immunoelectron microscopy and gold-labeled decoration confirmed the identity of the virus. In 2001, five symptomless peony plants (provided by a commercial grower and previously analyzed for AMV and TRV presence) were grafted with shoots from peony showing yellow mosaic on the leaves and maintained in a greenhouse under aphid-proof cage. During the summer of 2002, one of the grafted plants showed a mild mosaic on the leaves; PAS-ELISA revealed this peony was infected by AMV. To our knowledge, this is the first report of AMV in peony.

In this study, the stem explants of Ludisia discolor were used as experimental materials to investigate the effects of 6-BA, NAA, Cu2+ and Ag+ on the induction of adventitious bud regeneration, and to analyze the most suitable culture conditions for stem explants regeneration. The results showed that when the medium was supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 6-BA, 0.75 mg/L NAA, 0.25 mg/L CuSO4, or 6.4 mg/L AgCl, the best regeneration effects would be gained, respectively. And the adventitious bud regeneration rate reached the maximum, which were 61.67%, 83.67%, 80.95% and 87.63%, respectively. The results of this study provided a theoretical basis for tissue culture and rapid propagation of L. discolor.

Viral Sequences

Field surveys were conducted in Greek olive orchards from 2017 to 2020 to collect information on the sanitary status of the trees. Using a high-throughput sequencing approach, viral sequences were identified in total RNA extracts from several trees and assembled to reconstruct the complete genomes of two isolates of a new viral species of the genus Tepovirus (Betaflexiviridae), for which the name olive virus T (OlVT) is proposed. A reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction assay was developed which detected OlVT in samples collected in olive growing regions in Central and Northern Greece, showing a virus prevalence of 4.4% in the olive trees screened. Sequences of amplified fragments from the movement–coat protein region of OlVT isolates varied from 75.64% to 99.35%. Three olive varieties (Koroneiki, Arbequina and Frantoio) were infected with OlVT via grafting to confirm a graft-transmissible agent, but virus infections remained latent. In addition, cucumber mosaic virus, olive leaf yellowing-associated virus and cherry leaf roll virus were identified.

Bud Induction

An efficient regeneration and transformation system was established and optimised for adzuki bean (Vigna angularis (Willd.) Ohwi & Ohashi). 6-Benzylaminopurine at 5 mg L–1 was used to increase adventitious bud induction frequency. The highest frequency of shoot elongation was 92.8% when using a medium composition of MS salts combined with 0.1 mg L–1 of IAA, 0.5 mg L–1 of GA3, 1.0 mg L–1 of zeatin-riboside, 50 mg L–1 of aspartic acid, and 50 mg L–1 of glutamic acid. In vitro rooting was 100% when shoots were cultured on the solid MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg L–1 of NAA. Reproducible transformation of epicotyl explants was developed using the A. tumefaciens EHA105 strain. Using a concentration of 40 mg L–1 of acetosyringone, 20 mm MES, and 5 mg L–1 of 6-benzylaminopurine in the co-cultivation medium, a transformation efficiency of 12.6% was attained. Using this transformation protocol, we obtained transgenic adzuki bean plants resistant to soybean mosaic virus by introducing the V. angularis VaPR3 gene.
