Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cv. ‘Bright Yellow 2’ (BY2) cell suspension is a useful system to study the structure and function of plant cell. However, low efficiency of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, and transgene silencing during subculture limit its application. Here we present optimization of the traditional protocols of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and genomic DNA extraction. The transforming efficiency and recovery ratio of genomic DNA extraction were substantially increased by these improvements. Southern assay demonstrated that copy number of transgene could be determined unambiguously. Meanwhile by monitoring the GFP fluorescence we found that the GFP expression can keep stable in suspension culture cells for at least 20 days in liquid medium. Finally, applicability of constitutive promoters of Arabidopsis thaliana UBIQUITIN10 (AtUBQ10) and ARABIDOPSISSKP1 HOMOLOGUE1 (AtASK1) also can drive stable GFP expression in vivo of BY2 cells like CaMV 35S promoter in this plant system./span>

During a study of the development of infectious laryngotracheitis (LT) virus in tissue culture cells, unusual tubular formations were found in the cytoplasm of a small proportion of the affected cells. It is the purpose of this report to describe the morphologic characteristics of the tubules and to discuss their possible association with the development of virus.The source and maintenance of the strain of LT virus have been described. Prior to this study, the virus was passed several times in chicken embryo kidney (CEK) tissue culture cells.

To study the role of sulfhydryl group formation during cell cycle progression, mammalian tissue culture cells (PTK2) were exposed to 100¼M 2-mercaptoethanol for 2 to 6 h during their exponential phase of growth. The effects of 2-mercaptoethanol on centrosomes, chromosomes, microtubules, membranes and intermediate filaments were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by immunofluorescence microscopy (IFM) methods using a human autoimmune antibody directed against centrosomes (SPJ), and a mouse monoclonal antibody directed against tubulin (E7). Chromosomes were affected most by this treatment: premature chromosome condensation was detected in interphase nuclei, and the structure in mitotic chromosomes was altered compared to control cells. This would support previous findings in dividing sea urchin cells in which chromosomes are arrested at metaphase while the centrosome splitting cycle continues. It might also support findings that certairt-sulfhydryl-blocking agents block cyclin destruction. The organization of the microtubule network was scattered probably due to a looser organization of centrosomal material at the interphase centers and at the mitotic poles.

The presence of UDP-D-glucose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2) in the culture tissue of white poplar was evidenced. As found, the partially purified enzyme preparation contained UDP-D-glucose glucosyltransferase, UDP-D-galactose galactosyltransferase and non-specific enzymes able to cleave the uridine-diphosphate saccharides into the appropriate hexose monophosphates. The activity change of UDP-D-glucose 4-epimerase in tissue culture cells during the growth was in accord with changes in D-galactose content in cell walls and indicated the possibility to regulate the formation of polysaccharides containing D-galactose at the level of production of UDP-D-galactose in cells.
