<p style="text-align: justify;">The efficiency of γ-irradiation as a tool for breeding grapevine rootstocks was investigated. One-bud cuttings from vitroplants of two varieties (Fercal and Gravesac) were subjected to gamma rays from Cs<sup>137</sup> source at rates from 10 to 60 Grays (Gy) at intervals of 10. All the parameters observed were affected at 20 Gy and upwards. Varietal susceptibility to irradiation was different since the maximum withstanding dose was 40 Gy for Gravesac and only 30 for Fercal. Besides, shoot development was more lowered than root development. The results showed that an increase of the irradiation dose decreased the rate of survival, the rhizogenesis and the growth of<em> in vitro</em> plants. On the V<sub>2</sub> vegetative generation ofGravesac vitroplants changes in size, in leafform, in plant habits, in growth and chlorophyll deficient mutations were recorded. Moreover, after a 30 Gy irradiation variations of growth, dry weight, leaf area, number of stomata and photosynthesis rates were shown on the V<sub>3</sub> generation. Accordingly this irradiation method is efficient to develop an <em>in vitro</em> variability. A sample of the surviving plants was established in the greenhouse for further screening.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />(1) Communication faite au 6'®me Symposium International sur l'Amélioration de la Vigne, à Yalta (Crimée), Ukraine, du 4 au 10 septembre 1994</p>

Taşkın, H., Yücel, N. K., Baktemur, G., Çömlekçioğlu, S. and Büyükalaca, S. 2013. Effects of different genotypes and gamma ray doses on haploidization with irradiated pollen technique in watermelon ( Citrullus lanatus L.). Can. J. Plant Sci. 93: 1165–1168. Two watermelon genotypes, one commercial watermelon variety (Ustun F1) and five different doses of gamma rays coming from Co60 were tested to develop useful haploidization procedures in watermelon. For this purpose, male flowers collected a day before anthesis were irradiated with 50, 150, 200, 275 and 300 Gy doses of gamma rays, and female flowers were pollinated with irradiated pollen the next day. Seeds extracted from fruits harvested 25 d later were opened individually in a laminar flow hood. Embryos obtained via embryo rescue technique were placed in glass tubes containing CP medium with 30 g L−1 sucrose, 8 g L−1 agar, 0.08 mg L−1 B12, and 0.02 mg L−1 IAA. Sixty haploid embryos were obtained from 43 watermelon fruits in this study. Genotype 1 was found to be the most successful genotype with 3.57 haploid embryos per 100 seeds. Among tested irradiation doses, 275 Gy was better than other doses, with 5.26 haploid embryos per 100 seeds. Considered together with irradiation dose and genotypes, the maximum number of haploid embryos was obtained from Genotype 1 pollinated with 275 Gy irradiation dose, with 6.25 haploid embryos per 100 seeds.

The microstructure of the polypropylenes (PP) irradiated by gamma ray was studied by positron lifetime technique and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Lifetime measurement shows o-Ps intensity decreases with increasing γ irradiation dose. The crystallinity of irradiated samples was detected by DSC method. The correlation between o-Ps intensity and crystallinity indicates γ-ray can induce higher crystallinity in the polypropylene at low irradiation dose.

The effects of the γ-irradiatted PLLA on the osteoblasts and apatite formation were investigated in vitro. The PLLA sheet was γ-ray irradiated at the dose of 10, 25 or 50 kGy. The mouse osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells and normal human osteoblast NHOst cells were micromass cultured on the PLLA sheet for 2 weeks, and then the proliferation and differentiation of the cells were determined. The proliferations of MC3T3-E1 and NHOst cells hardly changed with increasing irradiation dose. However, the differentiations of MC3T3-E1 and NHOst cells increased with irradiation dose. On the other hand, the surface of the PLLA sheet after soaking in the medium without the cells was characterized by SEM, EDX, FT-IR and XPS. The hydroxyapatite was formed on the surface of the PLLA sheet after soaking, and the amount of hydroxyapatite increased with irradiation dose. In summary, the γ-irradiated PLLA increased the differentiation of osteoblasts and also increased apatite-forming ability even without the osteoblasts. The osteoblast differentiation was enhanced well in the apatite formation on the surface of PLLA after the γ-irradiation.

Wasabi japonica plantlets were acclimatized in a hydroponic system to determine effective procedures. The plantlets were cultured on solid Murashige-Skoog medium with 3% sucrose. Shoots that formed roots were transplanted into hydroponic systems: 1) acclimatization in ebb-and-flow (EBB) for subirrigation (medium: granulated rockwool and coir); and 2) acclimatization in deep flow technique (DFT). The plantlets were acclimatized for 5 weeks under two irradiance treatments, 50 and 300 mmol·m-2·s-1. Photosynthetic capacity in high PPF was higher than that in low PPF during acclimatization. Electron transport rate from PS II (ETR) and biomass production increased significantly with increased light availability. The fresh weight, dry weight, and leaf area of plantlets in high PPF were higher than those in low PPF. In particular, the dry weight and ETR of the plantlets grown in high PPF increased more than twice as much as those in low PPF. At 50 mmol·m-2·s-1 PPF, growth indexes, such as number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, fresh weight, and dry weight, were higher in EBB (granulated rockwool) > EBB (coir culture) > DFT. At 300 mmol·m-2·s-1 PPF, those indexes were higher in DFT > EBB (granulated rockwool) > EBB (coir). The Wasabi japonica plantlets acclimatized in a hydroponic system also had a superior performance when they were transferred to the field.

The Impact

Marigold seedlings were grown in four containers that differed in both volume and shape. Seedlings grown in 1.5-gal containers showed the greatest potential for shoot and root development 20 days after sowing. These seedlings had greater leaf area, shoot and root dry weight, and total root number and length compared to seedlings grown in 406 plug trays, 72-cell packs, or 6-inch containers. There was a positive correlation (r2 = 0.81) between cell volume and seedling growth as well as a positive correlation (r2 = 0.89) between container height with seedling growth. An attempt was made to separate the impact of container volume vs. container height on seedling growth. Containers were designed using acrylics to vary the container height while keeping the volume constant at 1500 cm3. There was a positive correlation (r2 = 0.87) between shoot and root dry weight with container height. The data suggest that both container volume and height contribute to overall seedling growth in marigold, but when container volume is not limiting, container height has a large impact on seedling development.

Folk Remedy

The arrow leaf abelmoschus rhizome (Hibiscus sagittifolius Kurz), or Sam Bo Chinhin Vietnamese, is a perennial suffrutex herb from which the tuber root is used as a medicine in folk remedy. This species is widely distributed and can be found on many terrains across South East Asia. With an aim to create a large number of uniform and high-quality H. sagittifolius transplants in vitro, effects of some environmental factors such as photoperiod and temperature on the photoautotrophic growth of H. sagittifoliusin vitro plants were investigated. In vitro single nodal cuttings, each with an unfolded leaf, were cultured photoautotrophically (without sucrose and vitamins) on mineral SH medium, under light intensity of 150 µmol m-2 s-1, temperature of 24oC ± 2oC, relative humidity (RH) of 55% ± 5% and three different photoperiods (8, 12 or 16 h d-1) in the first experiment. Commercial polypropylene bags (V = 1,000 ml), attached with two filter-paper membranes, were used as culture vessels. After 42 days of culture, H. sagittifolius plants under the photoperiod of 16 h d-1 had the greatestincreased fresh weight (502.3 mg/plt), increased dry weight (39.5 mg/plt) and leaf area (17.0 cm2) than those put under 8 hd-1or 12 h d-1. In addition, H. sagittifolius plants also showed statistical differences in growth when photoautotrophically cultured in different air temperature regimes, including 28/25oC (photo-/dark period), 25/25oC and 20/25oC. Increased fresh weight (775 mg/plt), increased dry weight (62 mg/plt) and leaf area (22.7 cm2) of in vitro H. sagittifolius plants were the greatest when temperature was maintained at 28 oC during photoperiod. On the contrary, the photoperiod temperature of 20oC resulted in the shortest shoot length and root length of H. sagittifoliusplants. In conclusion, this study proved that H. sagittifolius plants had the best growth when cultured on SH medium, without sucrose and vitamins supplementation, under light intensity of 150 µmol m-2 s-1, RH 55% ± 5%, photoperiod of 16 h d-1, temperature regime of 28/25oC(photo-/dark period). Citation: Nguyen Thuy Phuong Duyen, Tran Thi Van, Nguyen Le Thu Minh, Nguyen Thi Quynh, 2017.

<p>ABSTRACT</p><p>Handeuleum (Graptophyllum pictum L.Griff) is a medicinal plant widely used as a traditional medicine due to its benefecial content. Therefore, it should be developed as one of the leading Indonesian medicinal plants. The purpose of this research was to study the effect of gamma ray irradiation on morphological alteration and growth of Handeuleum accession from Bogor. The doses of gamma rays were 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and 105 Gy. The results of the research showed that gamma-ray irradiation induced morphological changes and influences the growth of Handeuleum. Irradiation dose at rate of 105 Gy produced new leaf morphology in Handeuleum, namely cordate. Doses of 60, 75, 90, and 105 Gy produce stunted plants with stiff and yellowish-green leaves. The dose of 45 Gy produced relative green color index which was higher than the control plants.</p><p>Keywords: handeuleum, gamma irradiations</p>

The effects of low-volume foliar application (24, 48, 96 kg ha–1) of phosphite on root and shoot development in Corymbia calophylla Lindley and Banksia brownii ex R.Br. were investigated in a glasshouse study. Shoot growth, root and shoot dry weight and root length were not significantly reduced by phosphite application in C. calophylla 2 weeks and 4 months after phosphite application. Shoot growth, shoot dry weight and root length were not significantly reduced in the non-mycorrhizal B. brownii. However, in plants treated with 24 and 96 kg ha–1, root dry weight was significantly reduced 4 months but not 2 weeks after spray. A discoloration of the root stele was also observed in phosphite-treated plants of this species. At 2 weeks after spray, root concentrations of phosphite in C. calophylla were up to five times higher than shoot concentrations. At 4 months after application, growth abnormalities were observed in B. brownii and these included spindly new shoot growth with rosetted foliage of reduced leaf size. The results of this study, which assessed one mycorrhizal and one non-mycorrhizal native species, suggest that species may vary in their response to phosphite in terms of root development and phosphite applied at rates of 24 kg ha–1 or higher may result in reduced root growth, particularly in non-mycorrhizal species. Further studies on root development in a wider range of species are needed to validate these findings.

Echinococcosis is a serious parasitic disease caused byEchinococcustapeworms. Protoscoleces are sometimes released during surgical treatment for hydatid cysts, causing the recurrence of echinococcosis. Protoscoleces may be susceptible to radiation therapy. In this studyEchinococcusprotoscoleces were culturedin vitroand then divided into four differentγ-ray irradiation dose groups (10 Gy, 20 Gy, 40 Gy, and 80 Gy) and a blank group. The protoscoleces were then implanted into the abdominal cavity of mice. Four months later, we observed that the incidence and weight of cysts declined with the increase of irradiation dose.γ-ray irradiation can suppress the generation ofEchinococcusoriginated from protoscolex, the reason of which is due to the damaging to the structure ofEchinococcus. Irradiation may prevent echinococcosis recurrence after surgical removal of hydatid cysts.
