A high-performance protocol for callus induction was devised using germinating mature embryos of two local wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) landraces as explant. The results showed that callus development from germinating embryos was rapid starting one day after culture with an induction rate 20 to 25% higher than those of soaked embryos. In addition, the mean rate of growth of callus developed from germinating embryos was 60 to 70% higher than those cultured from soaked embryos. This study also demonstrated a higher frequency of green spots formation(48 to 56%)on callus derived from germinating embryos compared to their soaked counterpart (24 to 28%), suggesting a better differentiation potential of callus cultures derived from germinating embryo. These findings indicate that germinating mature embryo is more suitable explant for wheat callus induction and regeneration than the soaked mature embryo commonly employed for wheat callus culture.

An in vitro experiment with two cultivars, Mahon Demias and Hidhab of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) exhibited appreciable callus induction but differed significantly in the capacity of calli proliferation and regeneration under salinity stress; even though Mahon Demias appeared relatively more tolerant than Hidhab. The results indicated the need to optimize a robust protocol for callus induction, maintenance and regeneration before selection process for tolerance to salinity is embarked upon.Key words: Bread wheat, Salinity stress, Callus proliferation, Mature embryoDOI = 10.3329/ptcb.v17i1.1117Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 17(1): 19-27, 2007 (June)

Aim. To analyze the efficiency of using tissues of immature and mature embryos for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in vitro of new breeding-valuable genotypes of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for the purpose of their genetic improvement. Methods. Culture of in vitro, extraction and electrophoresis of DNA, PCR analysis. Results. The efficiency of induction of callusogenesis and regeneration of winter wheat shoots was analyzed. The morphogenetic response of callus cultures obtained from different explants under Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in vitro was investigated. Molecular genetic analysis of wheat regenerants for transgenes was performe. Conclusions. The tissues of immature and mature embryos of novel breeding-valuable wheat genotypes are competent explants for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in vitro. In this case, the tissues of two daily sprouts of mature wheat germ are characterized by higher morphogenetic parameters, which helps to obtain a greater percentage of genetically modified variants. Keywords: Triticum aestivum L., in vitro, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, immature embryos, mature embryos.

The study presents variability in the qualitative composition and quantitative indicators of secondary mycelium metabolites of the fungus Diaporthe (Phomopsis) helianthi Munt.-Cvet. et al., the most harmful plant pest of Helianthus annuus L. Toxicity of secondary metabolites of D. helianthi was analyzed by determining the average length of seedling shoots of Triticum aestivum L. test object grown on fungus filtrates of different cultivation dates. The maximum toxic effect of D. helianthi was recorded during the germination of Triticum aestivum L. seedlings on a 17-day filtrate of pure mycelium culture of the fungus. The mean length of wheat seedlings in this variant of the experiment decreased by 3.5 times compared with the control and 3.3 times compared with the filtrate of the culture medium of 7 days of cultivation. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) identified secondary metabolites of D. helianthi as fomosin, fomopsolides, cytosporones, and xanthones. There was a redistribution of secondary metabolites due to increase in number of cytosporones, decrease in content of fomopsolides, and termination of xanthone synthesis with increasing time of cultivation of fomopsis mycelium, under conditions of relatively stable indicators of fomosin content.

Callus cultures of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were established by incubation of segments from root tips, shoots of seedlings, and from rachis with B5 and T media. 2,4,5-Tri-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, Benazolin, and Banvel D (Dicamba) were found to be appropriate growth regulators for initiation and maintenance of wheat callus cultures. Cytokinins inhibited callus growth. This effect was less pronounced with zeatin than with kinetin and benzyladenine. Supplementation of media with cytokinins, however, increased the number of roots formed in the callus. Shoots and complete plants were regenerated from rachis and shoot callus.

The protective conditions under which callus cultures are grown to prevent microbial contamination and to reduce tissue desiccation cause the accumulation of volatiles in the vessel headspace and reduce the availability of oxygen for respiration. To demonstrate the importance of the gaseous atmosphere to culture growth a study was undertaken on non-morphogenic rice and wheat callus incubated under a number of environmental conditions. Changes in the gaseous atmosphere above rice (Oryza sativa L.) callus during routine culture in a petri dish suppressed growth and promoted necrosis. Incubating callus under a continuous flow of gas mixtures of known composition suggested that the inhibition of growth was caused by the accumulation of high levels of ethylene and to the rapid depletion of oxygen. In order to evaluate the importance of ethylene accumulation aminoethoxyvinyl glycine (AVG), I-aminocyclopropane-I-carboxylic acid (ACC) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) were added to the nutrient medium and ethylene was measured during callus culture. Ethylene restricted callus growth particularly under high (35°C) compared with moderate (25°C) incubation temperatures and under illuminated compared with dark incubation. Under illuminated incubation at 25°C, AVG ( 5 μM ) and AgNO3 (50 μM) improved rice callus growth by 69 and 54% respectively while ACC (100 μM) decreased growth by 15%. Furthermore, rice callus growth was better in large compared with small culture vessels since ethylene accumulation was reduced. In contrast, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) callus grew well in the petri dish system and released very little ethylene into the culture vessel headspace. Growth was better under illuminated than darkened conditions and under moderate (25°C) compared with high (35°C) incubation temperatures. Furthermore, wheat callus growth was only marginally better in large compared with small culture vessels. Ethylene was not a restrictive factor of wheat callus growth since only low levels were detected in all conditions of incubation. Better control of ethylene and increased oxygen availability could be a way of increasing cell and tissue production for genetic engineering studies of otherwise recalcitrant species such as rice, and may be a way of improving manipulation of wheat.

Aim. Receiving of genetically modified plants of bread wheat with heterologous ornithine‑δ‑aminotransferase gene. Methods. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of callus cultures in vitro, PCR-analysis. Results. By Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of the morphogenic calluses of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using the AGLO strain containing the binary vector pBi-OAT with the target ornithine-δ-aminotransferase (oat) and selective neomycinphosphotransferase II (nptII), transgenic plants-regenerators have been obtained. Conclusions. As a result of the genetic transformation of Zimoyarka variety, 12 wheat regenerants were obtained in the genome which revealed a complete integration of the genetic construct containing the oat and nptII transgenes. Keywords: Triticum aestivum L., Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, ornithine‑δ‑aminotransferase gene, PCR-analysis.
