ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to induce the formation of somatic embryos in protocorms from Phalaenopsis Classic Spotted Pink hybrids at two physiological maturation stages, namely: 80 and 120 days after seed inoculation (DASI). Protocorms were inoculated in ½ MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg L-1 ANA and 3 mg L-1 TDZ. Protocorms were inoculated 120 days after sowing were more developed at the 15th cultivation day due to the formation of pro-embryogenic structures. It was possible seeing the formation of globular- and torpedo-stage somatic embryos at the 30th day of cultivation in somatic embryogenesis (SE) induction medium. The protocorms inoculated at the 80th DASI did not formed somatic embryos; they oxidized 20 days after cultivation in SE-induction medium. The formation of somatic embryos happened directly on the explant, thus characterizing a direct somatic embryogenesis. The embryos converted into plants when the somatic embryos were transferred to the nutrient medium containing no growth regulator. Therefore, it was concluded that the somatic embryos induction from protocorms 120 days after sowing was positive, since the embryos were able to become plants and presented vegetative organs with morphological traits similar to those of the matrix plant.

Homalomena `Emerald Gem' is an important ornamental foliage plant and widely used for interior plantscaping. Current propagation of this cultivar has been primarily carried out through in vitro culture by organogenesis; regeneration through somatic embryogenesis has not been documented. This report describes successful plant regeneration via direct somatic embryogenesis from explants of different organs. Somatic embryos formed at and around the cut surface of petiole, spathe, and peduncle explants. Embryos also appeared at the base between expanded ovaries of the spadix segment, and around midrib of leaf explants. The optimal treatments for somatic embryo occurrence from petiole, spathe, and peduncle explants were MS medium containing 0.2 mg/L NAA or 0.5 mg/L 2, 4-D with 2.0 mg/L CPPU, and for spadix explants were MS medium with 0.5 mg/L PAA and 2.5 mg/L TDZ. Somatic embryos appeared 6 to 8 weeks after culture and formed large embryo clumps in 3 to 4 months. Somatic embryos produced more secondary embryos and geminated on induction medium. Multiple shoot development and plant regeneration occurred from somatic embryo clusters on MS medium without hormone or with 2 mg/L BA and 0.2 mg/L NAA. The regenerated plants grew vigorously after transplanting to a soilless container substrate in a shaded greenhouse.

Somatic embryos were obtained from cotyledon and midrib explants of Solanum melongena L., cultivar Loda. For callus induction, medium was supplemented with different concentrations of auxin singly or in combination with BAP. The best callusing 83-85% was obtained from both of the explants cultured on MS medium containing 2.0 mgl-1NAA + 0.05 mgl-1BAP. Somatic embryogenesis and shoot regeneration was achieved after transferring the calli to MS medium supplemented with BAP, GA3, NAA and Zeatin. Cotyledon derived calli showed better performance (87%) for regeneration than that of midrib (82%) when sub cultured on MS medium having 2.0 mgl-1 Zeatin + 1.0 mgl-1 BAP. For root induction, MS + 3.0 mgl-1 IBA was proved to be better treatment for average number (14-15) and mean length (12 cm) of roots than those of other treatments.

Thin layer explants from the hypocotyls of young seedlings of geranium (Pelargonium ×hortorum Bailey) produced somatic embryos in response to thidiazuron (TDZ) or a combination of indoleacetic acid and N6-benzylaminopurine, but the number of embryos was much less in the latter than with TDZ. The development of somatic embryos in cultures of thin layers was rapid and the number of embryos was about eightfold higher than in cultures of whole hypocotyl explants. Thin layer explants of 1-week-old seedlings produced a high number of somatic embryos than those obtained from older seedlings. The cultivar Scarlet Orbit Improved showed better regeneration potential than 'Sprinter Scarlet'. There were no visible differences in total number of somatic embryos produced in the medium containing sucrose or glucose. The addition of glutamine to the induction medium further improved the number of somatic embryos that developed. Regenerated somatic embryos developed into complete plantlets within 6 to 8 weeks of culture initiation. Key words: Pelargonium ×hortorum, geranium, somatic embryogenesis, thin layers, thidiazuron.

In the present study it was reported on direct somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from cotyledon and leaf explants of Turkey berry/pea egg plant (Solanum torvum SW), a medicinally important plant. Somatic embryogenesis has several advantages over other routes of in vitro plant regeneration. Somatic embryogenesis was induced directly from cotyledon and leaf explants on MS medium fortified with BAP (0.5 mg/L)+NAA (0.5-6.0 mg/L). High percentage of somatic embryogenesis (90%), maximum number of somatic embryos formation (62±0.18)  along with high percentage (76%) conversion of somatic embryos into bipolar embryos was observed on cotyledon explants in 0.5 mg/L BAP+2.5 mg/L NAA. At the same concentration of BAP (0.5 mg/L)+NAA (2.5 mg/L) also resulted  on the maximum percentage of somatic embryogenesis (92%), the highest number of somatic embryos formation (88±0.15) and the highest percentage (76%) of somatic embryos conversion into bipolar embryos in leaf explants. A mixture of globular, heart and torpedo-shaped embryos were germinated on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L IAA+1.0-4.0 mg/L BAP. Maximum germination frequency (75±0.14) of somatic embryos and plantlet formation was found in 0.5 mg/L IAA+2.0 mg/L BAP, but they didn’t germinate on ½ MSO and MSO media. The survival rate of regenerated plants after field transfer was recorded to be 75%. These regenerated plants were found morphologically similar to donor plants. The present protocol can be used for conservation of the species and also for genetic transformation experiments in S. torvum.

Past research experience with Centella asiatica micropropagation suggests a very high rate of contamination during the culture establishment stage. We demonstrate protocols for successful sterilization of Centella explants prepared from field-grown plants with an abundance of fungal and bacterial contamination. Sequential steps during sterilization and explant preparation process included a dip for 30 s in 70% ethyl alcohol, weak bleach treatment for 12 min, and a 60-min soak in plant preservative mixture before establishing cultures. We also report a reproducible system for somatic embryogenesis in Centella using leaf and stolon tip explants collected from naturally growing populations. Somatic embryos were induced within 3 to 4 weeks of culture in the dark on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Initial embryogenic mass appeared as nodular callus, which eventually developed into actual somatic embryos exhibiting globular, heart-shaped, and cotyledonary stages. Leaves produced embryogenic calli at 2.26 and 4.52 μm 2,4-D, whereas stolon tips were responsive only in the 9.04 μm 2,4-D treatment. Withdrawal of 2,4-D/growth regulators from the induction medium resulted in the maturation and further development of the embryos into plantlets. Regular subculturing of the embryogenic calli into MS medium sustained their regenarability for more than 1 year. Somatic embryos were individually encapsulated in sodium alginate and calcium chloride-based encapsulation matrix to produce artificial or synthetic seeds (synseeds). Synseeds with 2% sodium alginate were found best for the survival and germination recorded after their storage at 5 to 8 °C for 30 and 60 days. We report protocols for C. asiatica to reduce explant contamination before establishment of cultures on somatic embryo induction medium and efficient somatic embryogenesis to facilitate conservation and mass production of elite germplasm. This may further assist rapid dissemination of superior clones needed for research and commercial production.

<p>This research aimed to study the effect of 2,4-D,<br />AdS, and basal media to the regeneration of pineapple<br />through indirect organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis,<br />and to study the complete event of somatic embryogenesis.<br />Callus formation was induced by 21, 41, and 62 μM 2,4-D<br />with addition of 9 μM TDZ. The non embryogenic calli were<br />transferred onto 4.65 μM Kn containing medium.<br />Embryogenic callus formation was induced on MS or Bac<br />basal media consisted of N-organic compounds with<br />addition of AdS (0, 0.05 and 0.1 μM). The embryogenic calli<br />were regenerated on modified MS medium with addition of<br />0.9 μM IBA, 1.1 μM BA, 0.09 μM GA3 or MS medium<br />supplemented with 0.018 mM BA. The result proved that the<br />single auxin of 2,4-D was not enough to induce embryogenic<br />cells. Therefore the non embryogenic calli were regenerated<br />through organogenesis. The 21 μM 2,4-D yielded high level of<br />callus formation (80%), higher fresh weight (0.2 g/explant)<br />and higher number of shoot (25 shoots/explant in two<br />months). Embryogenic calli were produced on N-organic<br />compounds enriched media. The regeneration medium<br />significantly affected the level of browning, where the MS<br />medium with addition of 0.018 mM BA yielded lower level of<br />browning. There was an interaction of embryogenic callus<br />induction medium and regeneration medium to the number<br />of mature somatic embryos. The embryogenic callus<br />induction on MS medium enriched with N-organic<br />compounds and 0.05 μM AdS followed by the regeneration<br />of somatic embryos on MS medium with addition of 0.018<br />mM BA was the best treatment which yielded 17 mature<br />somatic embryos/explant.</p>

Somatic embryo formation was observed on thin-sectioned leaf explants within 3 weeks of culture from two Phalaenopsis hybrids—Phalaenopsis Hwafeng Redjewell `Ching Ruey' Phalaenopsis Chingruey's Giant Ching Ruey' (R×R), and Phalaenopsis Formosa Best Girl Ching Ruey' Depts. Lih Jiang Beauty `S 566' (WR×WR). Frequency of somatic embryo formation was higher in hybrid WRxWR than R×R and optimal concentration of TDZ for the induction of somatic embryos was 9.08 μM. In (WR×WR) embryo proliferation was simultaneously observed after transferring the explants with somatic embryo clumps onto PGR-free half-strength MS medium. Six months after initiation, the culture plantlets were produced. This is the first report on somatic embryogenesis induced directly from the leaf explants using TDZ in Phalaenopsis.

Indirect Somatic Embryogenesis

Having produced the embryos of cactusCopiapoa tenuissimaRitt. formamonstruosaat the globular stage and callus, we investigated the effect of abscisic acid (ABA) in the following concentrations: 0, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μM on successive stages of direct (DSE) and indirect somatic embryogenesis (ISE). In the indirect somatic embryogenesis process we also investigated a combined effect of ABA (0, 0.1, 1 μM) and sucrose (1, 3, 5%). The results showed that a low concentration of ABA (0-1 μM) stimulates the elongation of embryos at the globular stage and the number of correct embryos in direct somatic embryogenesis, while a high ABA concentration (10–100 μM) results in growth inhibition and turgor pressure loss of somatic embryos. The indirect somatic embryogenesis study in this cactus suggests that lower ABA concentrations enhance the increase in calli fresh weight, while a high concentration of 10 μM ABA or more changes calli color and decreases its proliferation rate. However, in the case of indirect somatic embryogenesis, ABA had no effect on the number of somatic embryos and their maturation. Nevertheless, we found a positive effect of sucrose concentration for both the number of somatic embryos and the increase in calli fresh weight.

Somatic embryogenesis was carried out epicotyl portion of the mature embryo/apical portion. The somatic embryo induction medium containing 2,4-D or NAA (10.0 to 50.0 mg/l). Of the two concentrations tested 2,4-D (30.0mg/l) recorded the highest percentage of response followed by NAA (30.0mg/l). But the highest number of somatic embryo were recorded in 30.0mg/l of 2,4-D followed by NAA. The apical portion of the mature embryo formed direct embryos without any intervention of callus. The maximum percentage of embryogenic cultures were noticed in 30.0mg/l of 2,4-D followed by NAA at 30.0mg/l. for the differentiation of somatic embryos, the embryogenic masses were transferred to medium without any growth regulator. The maximum number of somatic embryos per culture was recorded in 30 mg/l of 2,4-D followed by 30.0 mg/l of NAA. Keywords: Arachis hypogaea L.,Somatic Embryogenesis, 2,4-D and NAA
