Abstract The de novo organogenesis system for Korean pine of this economically and ecologically coniferous species was success fully established using sprouted seeds as the original explants. After 30 days of incubation, 92.67% of explants produced direct shoots on Gupta and Durzan(DCR) medium containing 2 mg · L −1 kinetin (KT) in combination 0.5 mg · L −1 thidiazuron (TDZ) with a maximum of about 15 shoots per explant respectively. We also confirmed the organogenic regeneration pattern by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation. For shoot elongation and growth after 60 days of culture, we obtained the highest mean length of 34.99 mm from DCR basal media supplemented with 6-benzyladenine (6-BA; 0.2 mg · L −1 ), 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA; 0.1 mg · L −1 ), and activated charcoal (AC; 1 g · L −1 ). The highest rooting percentages of 20.74-21.48% were observed within two months in the 1/2 DCR medium (major elements halved) enriched with 0.05 mg·L −1 NAA and 0.5 or 1 mg · L −1 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Rooted plants showed a survival rate of 90.28% in perlite: peat: vermiculite = 1:1:1 after acclimatization. This protocol is a successful and efficient biotechnological approach to the micropropagation of Korean pine, and these data will be helpful to the clonal propagation and conservation of Korean pine.

A two-stage method for in vitro propagation of six Genista species from shoot tips was developed. Multiple microshoot cultures were obtained by growing the shoot tip explants on Schenk and Hildebrandt medium supplemented with 9.84 μm 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino)- purine and 0.99 μm thidiazuron. The best shoot elongation was achieved on Schenk and Hildebrandt medium containing 4.92 μm indole-3-butyric acid. The rooting of shoots brought best effects (100%) on Schenk and Hildebrandt medium with 2.68 μm 1-naphthaleneacetic acid. HPLC analysis indicated that six-month-old regenerated plants as well as the herb of intact plants produced a rich set of simple flavones (derivatives of luteolin and apigenin) and isoflavones (derivatives of genistein, daidzein, formononetin and biochanin A). Multiple microshoot cultures of all species produced no simple flavones at all. In vitro shoots accumulated selectively a rich group of phytoestrogens in the form of aglucones, glucosides and esters (derivatives of genistein and daidzein). Cultures obtained in vitro synthesized many times more isoflavones than the intact plants. In all shoots which were micropropagated the dominating compound was genistin (e.g. shoots of G. tinctoria D ca 3281.4 mg per 100 g dry weight). Possible influence of tissue differentiation on isoflavone content under in vitro and in vivo conditions is discussed.

Plant regeneration was achieved from cells of callus induced from hypocotyl segments of Bauhinia forficata on half strength Murashige and Skoog culture medium supplemented with several concentrations of BAP. Within 40 days of culture shoot buds formation was observed on callus surface. Calli were then transferred to a same composition culture medium without plant growth regulator in order to induce shoot elongation. Histological studies indicated that in vitro plant regeneration in B. forficata occurred through indirect organogenesis. Meristemoids consisting of small cells with dense cytoplasm and prominent nuclei were randomly distributed throughout the callus surface indicating early stages of shoot bud differentiation. Shoots developed de novo from superficial layers of cells and the pattern of shoot origin and development were very similar to those previously described for other leguminous species.

AbstractAxillary shoots were induced from shoot tip of Calamus thwaitesii suckers on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 0.4 mg/L N6-benzylaminopurine and 0.1 mg/L each of thidiazuron and α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The shoots initiated were subcultured to fresh media of the same composition for shoot multiplication and multiplied shoots were transferred to half strength MS hormone-free media for shoot elongation. The elongated shoots (∼5cm) were then re-cultured to the media supplemented with 3.0 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid/4.0 mg/L NAA to raise plantlets which were subsequently analysed for genetic fidelity using inter simple sequence repeat markers. Out of 183 bands scored, 178 bands were monomorphic indicating 97.2% similarity. The observed low level of polymorphism between genotypes supports genetic consistency of these micro-clones that are likely to be genetically true to their parental origin. The clones thus obtained were hardened in the specially fabricated mist house at 29 ±2°C and 80±5% relative humidity for 3 months followed by shifting to green house for another 3 months of nursery establishment. The established plants when reintroduced to the selected forest segments of the Western Ghats, Kerala (India) showed 79.3% survival rate after 2 years of field transfer. The viable and highly reproducible in vitro cloning protocol demonstrated here for the first time can be used for the production of elite female clones for aforestation activities and sustained delivery of high quality raw materials to cane processing units for strengthening cane industry.

A novel micropropagation method for pineapple (Ananas comosus L.), based on shoot elongation induced in vitro, was demonstrated for two cultivars. Decapitated in vitro plantlets were used as explants. Shoot etiolation was induced by placing explants in a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing NAA (10 μm) and incubating in darkness at 28C for 30 to 40 days. The mean number of the regenerated etiolated shoots per explant was 2.6 ± 0.29. The etiolated shoots were placed into N6 medium supplemented with kinetin or BA (25 or 20 μm, respectively). After 4 to 6 weeks, shoots regenerated along the nodes. The highest regeneration rate was 15 and 13 plantlets per node with 25 μm kinetin and 20 mm BA, respectively. Regenerated plantlets were rooted on a growth-regulator-free MS medium. Residual shoots of the initial explants could be recycled by rooting on a growth-regulator-free MS medium. This procedure enables the regeneration of several thousand plantlets per year. Chemical names used: naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA); benzyladenine (BA).

In this symposium I will present our studies about the molecular architecture and function of the cytomatrix of the nerve cells. The nerve cell is a highly polarized cell composed of highly branched dendrites, cell body, and a single long axon along the direction of the impulse propagation. Each part of the neuron takes characteristic shapes for which the cytoskeleton provides the framework. The neuronal cytoskeletons play important roles on neuronal morphogenesis, organelle transport and the synaptic transmission. In the axon neurofilaments (NF) form dense arrays, while microtubules (MT) are arranged as small clusters among the NFs. On the other hand, MTs are distributed uniformly, whereas NFs tend to run solitarily or form small fascicles in the dendrites Quick freeze deep etch electron microscopy revealed various kinds of strands among MTs, NFs and membranous organelles (MO). These structures form major elements of the cytomatrix in the neuron. To investigate molecular nature and function of these filaments first we studied molecular structures of microtubule associated proteins (MAP1A, MAP1B, MAP2, MAP2C and tau), and microtubules reconstituted from MAPs and tubulin in vitro. These MAPs were all fibrous molecules with different length and formed arm like projections from the microtubule surface.

Показана возможность эффективного применения метода культуры тканей для размножения Allium neriniflorum (Herb.) Backer. Исследуемый вид является декоративным растением, размножение которого затруднено из-за низкой всхожести семян и ослабленной способности к формированию дочерних луковиц. Разработана технология клонального микроразмножения из стерильных луковиц. В качестве исходного материала использовали семена A. neriniflorum. Подобраны условия стерилизации, позволяющие достичь максимального числа (75 %) жизнеспособных эксплантов. Поверхностную стерилизацию проводили в ламинар-боксе с использованием в качестве стерилизующего агента 0,1 % раствор диацида. Семена сначала обрабатывали 70 % этанолом, затем стерилизующим раствором. Экспозиция стерилизующих растворов составляла от 5 до 9 мин. Показано, что способность к индуцированному морфогенезу существенно зависит от состава питательной среды. Максимальное число луковиц образовывалось на среде QL — 9 шт./эксплант. Исследуемые виды обладали высокой способностью к мультипликации и формированию полноценных растений при подобранных условиях культивирования in vitro. Выявленная морфогенетическая активность зачаточного побега, сегментов чешуй и донца стерильной луковицы A. neriniflorum, проявляющаяся в способности регенерировать побеги de novo, что возможно только в культуре in vitro, обеспечивает формирование полноценных луковиц. Луковицы, полученные in vitro, включали в последующие циклы микроразмножения. Культура тканей и органов in vitro позволяет размножать A. neriniflorum с более высоким коэффициентом размножения. От одной стерильной луковицы можно получить до 7000 луковиц в год. При традиционном вегетативном способе размножения материнская луковица формирует 1, редко 2 дочерние луковицы.

The increasing need for herbal medicines requires the study of not only biological resources of medical plants, but also methods for their reproduction. Of special value are the medicinal plants that have a long history of success in traditional medicine. One of such plants is Eucommia ulmoides Oliv., which belongs to a rare relict species growing in natural conditions, for the most part, in the undergrowth of humid subtropical forests in China, mainly in the middle course of the Yangtze river. E. ulmoides compares favorably with most subtropical plants owing to its significant frost resistance, which makes it possible to cultivate it outside the humid subtropics. It has been widely introduced in Krasnodar Krai and in the Republic of Adygea (Russia) since the mid-20th century and successfully adapted to various environmental conditions in the Northwest Caucasus. The increasing demand for E. ulmoides bark can only be satisfied by laying out industrial plantations. However, the difficulties encountered in the traditional seed reproduction of E. ulmoides (dioecious species, pollen low quality, parthenocarpy, prolonged seed dormancy, irregular fruiting, long juvenile period, etc.) make scientists turn to modern biotechnological methods of plant propagation. While considering cultivation of planting material, we should focus on highly efficient methods that ensure stable and mass reproduction of the plants under study. An important role is played here by in vitro plant regeneration. The effectiveness of biotechnology methods is due to a reduction in timing of obtaining a large number of vegetative progeny of plants difficult for propagation, as well saving of the area required for their cultivation. The conditions for producing an aseptic culture of E. ulmoides were chosen based on the results of the studies. The highest degree of sterilization of E. ulmoides shoot segments was achieved when the explants were sequentially immersed first in 70 % ethanol (30 s) and then in 0.1 % mercuric chloride solution (5 min). With such a sterilization procedure, 63.3 % of the studied cuttings were made sterile, and 56.7 % of them proved to be viable. The optimal composition of the nutrient medium for regeneration of E. ulmoides microshoots has been determined: MS medium complemented with 1 mg/L 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) + 0.2 mg/L 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The best media for explant rooting are the following: 2/3 MS + 1.5 mg/L NAA + 30 g sucrose + 7 g agar; 2/3 MS + 1 mg/L NAA + 0.4 mg/L IBA + 30 g sucrose + 7 g agar.
