ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of auxin pulse intervals on the induction of somatic embryos of Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla and to describe the embryogenic behavior of callus under the effect of auxinic stress. Cotyledons were inoculated in culture medium containing 207.07 µM picloram, a treatment considered as auxin pulse. Explants that were in the auxin pulse treatment were transferred to semisolid or liquid medium containing 20.71 µM picloram after one, two, four or eight days of auxin pulse. In a second experiment, explants that were on auxin pulse treatment were transferred to semi-solid medium containing 20.71 µM picloram after one, two or three days of auxin pulse. Auxiliary picloram pulse treatments (207.02 µM) can be used as an initial source of stress for the acquisition of embryogenic competence. The oxidation of cotyledonary explants may be considered as an indication of the formation of embryogenic calli. The presence of pectins in peripheral regions of somatic pro-embryos can be considered as a marker of somatic embryogenesis in cotyledonary explants of Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla.

ABSTRACT The objective of the present study was to test the effects of explant type, auxin concentrations, culture media, and auxin concentrations on the induction and proliferation of somatic embryos of Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla. Seeds and cotyledons were used as explants and inoculated in culture media containing 1.13, 2.26, 3.39 and 4.52 µM dicamba or 4.14, 10.35, 20.71 and 31.06 µM picloram. Embryogenic calli induced in the picloram treatments were used as explants and inoculated in semisolid or liquid media containing 4.14, 10.35, 20.71 and 31.06 µM picloram and keeping the origin of the embryogenic callus (seeds or cotyledons) and the concentration of picloram in those who were in the induction phase. Statistical, descriptive and anatomical analyses were performed. Induction of somatic pro-embryos into the juvenile plant material of Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla was performed using seeds or cotyledons as the source of explants, with the addition of dicamba and picloram as growth regulators. The use of cotyledons as a source of explants and the concentration of 4.1 µM picloram added to the culture media resulted in a higher induction of somatic pro-embryos. Proliferation of secondary somatic embryos was achieved using liquid medium added with picloram.

Taro is important for its nutritional content, medicinal use, and bioethanol production. The aim of the present study was to compare different semi-automated bioreactors (SABs) during in vitro multiplication of C. esculenta. The SABs used were temporary immersion bioreactors (TIBs), SETIS™ bioreactors and ebb-and-flow bioreactors; semi-solid culture medium was used as a control treatment. At 30 d of culture, different developmental variables, determination of chlorophyll, stomatal content, and survival percentage during acclimatization were evaluated. SABs increased the shoot multiplication rate relative to the semi-solid medium; however, the SETIS™ bioreactor showed the highest shoot production, with 36 shoots per explant, and the highest chlorophyll content. The stomatal index was higher in the semi-solid medium compared to the SABs, while the percentage of closed stomata was higher in the SABs than in the semi-solid culture medium. The survival rate during acclimatization showed no differences among the culture systems assessed, obtaining survival rates higher than 99%. In conclusion, the SETIS™ bioreactor showed the highest multiplication rate; however, other bioreactor alternatives are available for semi-automation and cost reduction for micropropagation of C. esculenta.

Somatic embryogenesis of coffee has been studied for the purpose of obtaining target tissues for stable genetic transformation through use of a particle gun. Eight cultivars of C. arabica were selected for callus induction from leaves. Primary calli were induced within two weeks in over 98% of the leaf disks explanted on MS medium with 2,4-D and kinetin prior to treatment on a secondary culture medium. Somatic embryos were obtained from `Catuai' and `Blue Mountain' after six months from explanting. Somatic embryos were germinated in MS media and developed into plants. Somatic embryos and embryogenic calli are being used for gene transformation experiments with the helium-driven particle gun.

The embryogenic calli were grown on MS medium containing NaCl with concentrations from 50 to 300 mM. After 2 weeks of culture, salinity tolerance threshold was identified at 150 mM NaCl. Higher concentrations of NaCl stimulated a significant reduction in the calli survival rate and the highest rate was 78.67% at 50 mM. After subculturing callus to the embryo culture medium con- taining NaCl, the growth and embryogenesis were not affected at the concentrations of 50 – 100 mM. Especially, at 50 mM NaCl the embryogenesis rate reached 83.33%. In contrast, 150 mM NaCl inhibited the somatic embryogenesis. After 4 weeks, culturing somatic embryos on medium MS with addition of 0.07 mg/l spermidin at 50 – 100 mM NaCl, the embryogenesis was considered good and embryos developed through several stages: globular, heart, torpedo and cotyledonary. However, at 150 mM NaCl the globular stage appeared in the culture process. The process of morphohistology and using dye carmine – iod and acridine orange observed the structure of generative callus and embryos at several stages. Mô sẹo có khả năng phát sinh phôi được nuôi cấy trong môi trường có chứa muối NaCl với nồng độ thay đổi từ 50 – 300 mM. Sau 2 tuần nuôi cấy, chúng tôi xác định được ngưỡng chịu mặn của mô sẹo có khả năng sinh phôi cây Cọc rào là 150 mM. Nồng độ muối NaCl càng cao thì tỷ lệ sống của mô sẹo giảm dần và đạt giá trị cao nhất là 78,67% tại nồng độ 50 mM NaCl. Khi chuyển mô sẹo sang môi trường phát sinh phôi có chứa muối NaCl với nồng độ thay đổi, chúng tôi thấy ở nồng độ muối NaCl 50 – 100 mM không ảnh hưởng đến khả năng sinh trưởng và phát sinh phôi, đặc biệt là tại nồng độ 50 mM NaCl giúp kích thích sự hình thành phôi từ mô sẹo với tỷ lệ hình thành phôi đạt 83,33%. Ngược lại, nồng độ từ 150 mM NaCl gây ức chế quá trình hình thành phôi soma từ mô sẹo. Tiếp tục khảo sát ảnh hưởng của muối đến khả năng phát triển và nảy mầm của phôi soma. Ghi nhận kết quả sau 4 tuần nuôi cấy phôi soma trong môi trường MS có bổ sung 0.07 mg/l spermidin, tại nồng độ 50 – 100 mM NaCl khả năng hình thành phôi tốt và phôi phát triển qua các giai đoạn phôi hình cầu, hình tim, hình thủy lôi và hình lá mầm. Đặc biệt ở nồng độ 50 mM số lượng phôi lá mầm đạt giá trị cao với 13,33 phôi. Nồng độ muối NaCl 150 mM chỉ xuất hiện phôi hình cầu trong suốt thời gian nuôi cấy. Quá trình giải phẫu hình thái phôi và sử dụng thuốc nhuộm 2 màu carmin – iod và acridine orange đã cho thấy rõ hơn về cấu trúc mô sẹo có khả năng sinh phôi và phôi hình thái.

<pre><em></em><em>ABSTRACT<br /><br />An effective and efficient in vitro propagation system has important roles in preparing and producing high quality-seedlings of Dendrobium for commercial scale. The objective of this research was to establish an effective and efficient embryogenic callus (EC) proliferation method using bioreactor system and regeneration EC into plantlet for producing high quality seedlings of Dendrobium Indonesia Raya ‘Ina’. Differences in callus densities (5, 10, 15, and 20 g callus in 250 mL medium), aeration levels (2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 O2 volume  per  medium volume per minute; vvm), and regeneration media half-strength MS and 2 g L-1 NPK (32:10:10) combinated by 0.00, 0.05 mg L-1 BA, 150  mL L-1 coconut water and their combinations were tested in this experiment. The experiments were arranged using randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three replications for EC proliferation and randomized completely desaign (RBD) for EC regeneration. The results showed that combination of  aeration at 2.5 vvm and 10 g of EC was the most suitable aeration level and callus density for proliferation of EC in the 500 ml airlift bioreactor with 6.85 multiplication rate, 92.5% EC formation, and malformed callus morphology as low as 6.1%. The highest somatic embryos (SEs) formation was 87.7% with 44.5 SEs per clump and 92.1% SEs germination with 41.0 germinated-SEs per clump, 85.1% normal germinated-SEs, and whereas the best performance of plantlet was obtained from 1/2 MS + 0.05 mg L-1 BA semi solid medium. Plantlets were successfully acclimatized using Cycas rumphii medium with high survival rate (91.6%). <br /><br />Keywords: aerations, callus densities, germination, media, somatic embryos<br /><br /></em></pre>

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) somatic embryos representing various developmental stages were subjected to various concentrations of kanamycin in the culture medium. The level of kanamycin necessary for growth inhibition was dependent on the size and stage of the somatic embryos at the time of treatment and the kind of exposure. Growth of proembryos in liquid suspension was arrested at 12.5 μ g·ml-1, while the maturation of later stages of somatic embryos on solid medium was inhibited at 200 μg·m l-1.

The low induction rates of somatic embryogenesis are one of the main limitations in its routine application in the grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). The use of an induction medium containing histone deacetylase inhibitors (trichostatin A and, mainly, sodium butyrate) resulted in an improvement of the embryogenic responses in grapevine (cv. Mencía) cotyledonary and recently germinated somatic embryos. The relative expression of several grapevine genes related to embryogenic competence or encoding histone deacetylase enzymes was studied in cotyledonary somatic embryos that were cultured in the presence of 0.5 mM sodium butyrate. The results showed a significant overexpression of the BBM and VvSERK2 genes after 24 h of culture, whereas the VvWOX2 gene was underexpressed less in treated versus untreated explants. The results suggest that the inhibitor may trigger a molecular response related to an increase in embryogenic competence and changes in the expression of associated genes. The treatment with sodium butyrate also produced significant variations in the expression of several histone deacetylase enzyme-encoding genes. These results may enhance the possibility of obtaining somatic embryos, reducing the seasonal constraints associated with the use of floral explants in grapevines.

ABSTRACT Flow cytometry and microsatellite markers were used to determine a genetic fidelity of micropropagated plants from the two Eucalyptus urophylla x E. globulus clones and a Eucalyptus grandis x E. globulus clone derived from adult material. Clones were repeatedly subcultured for 25 subcultures on MS medium supplemented with BA (2.22 µM) and ANA (0.05 µM) for in vitro shoot multiplication. The elongation was performed in MS culture medium supplemented with AIB (2.46 µM) and BA(0.22 µM). The ex vitro rooting and acclimatization phases were lead at the same time. The micropropagated clones showed genetic stability by flow cytometry and microsatellite markers. The results proved that micropropagation, for purposes of rejuvenation, can be a viable technique to generate genetically stable or identical E. globulus hybrid clones.

An efficient in vitro morphogenesis, specifically through somatic embryogenesis, is considered to be a crucial step for the application of modern biotechnological tools for genetic improvement in olive (Olea europaea L.). The effects of different ethylene inhibitors, i.e., cobalt chloride (CoCl2), salicylic acid (SA), and silver nitrate (AgNO3), were reported in the cyclic somatic embryogenesis of olive. Embryogenic callus derived from the olive immature zygotic embryos of the cultivar Leccino, was transferred to the expression ECO medium, supplemented with the ethylene inhibitors at 20 and 40 µM concentrations. Among these, the maximum number of somatic embryos (18.6) was obtained in media containing silver nitrate (40 µM), followed by cobalt chloride (12.2 somatic embryos @ 40 µM) and salicylic acid (40 µM), which produced 8.5 somatic embryos. These compounds interfered on callus traits: white friable embryogenic calli were formed in a medium supplemented with 40 µM cobalt chloride and salicylic acid; in addition, a yellow-compact embryogenic callus appeared at 20 µM of all the tested ethylene inhibitors. The resulting stimulatory action of silver nitrate among all the tested ethylene inhibitors on somatic embryogenesis, clearly demonstrates that our approach can efficiently contribute to the improvement of the current SE protocols for olive.
