Potent Growth

In vitro regeneration by shoot organogenesis and-or somatic embryogenesis is accomplished by culturing the explants on a nutrient medium supplemented with phytohormones. Auxins in general, and 2,4-D in particular, have been shown to induce somatic embryogenesis whereas shoot regeneration is stimulated by cytokinins. In studying the morphoregulatory role of thidiazuron (TDZ) - a substituted urea with cytokinin-like activity - we found that it induces a high frequency of both organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis depending upon the plant species. For instance, whole seedlings of peanut developed somatic embryos and those of bean and pea produced shoots in response to culture on TDZ (1-40 μM)-supplemented media. In cultured explants of geranium, the use of TDZ (0.2-1 μM) effectively replaced the requirement of 2,4-D or BAP and IAA for obtaining somatic embryos. The frequency of regeneration was two to ten times higher than that achieved with auxin-cytokinin combinations. While no direct evidence is currently available to establish a relationship between TDZ and endogenous phytohormones, our results suggest that it may act by establishing endogenously the auxin:cytokinin ratio permissive of induction and expression of morphogenically competent cells.

Full Utilization

An efficient in vitro regeneration protocol is reported for common buckwheat. A combination of 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D and 0.2 mg/l BAP with sucrose showed highest induction of somatic embryogenesis from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants. More than 35% of normal somatic embryos matured on MS. MS with 2% sucrose were found best for germination and conversion of somatic embryos to plantlets. In tissue culture, abnormal somatic embryos usually occur. In this report, abnormal embryos are also used to induce shoot organogenesis, adding to the number of final regenerants and ensuring full utilization of regenerative propagules. A treatment of 0.2 mg/l BAP induced meristemoids in 60% of underdeveloped embryos and a combination of 0.5 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l AgNO3 led browning and senescence-free progression of shoot buds to well developed shoots, which were subsequently rooted in half strength MS containing 2% sucrose and 0.25 mg/l IBA. The regenerated plants survived acclimatization, flowered and set seeds. Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 29(1): 33-47, 2019 (June)

Better results were obtained when stigma explants of variegated lemon and citron were used. After ten months, somatic embryos developed into plantlets at a frequency ranged from 13.3 for lime to 66.7% for lemon. Virus presence was tested by ELISA and RT?PCR. The results indicated that the plantlets regenerated through somatic embryogenesis are CTV?free. RAPD analysis was used to asses the genetic stability of plantlets as compared to the mother plants. The results indicated that most plantlets belong to the respective mother plants and the polymorphism percentage was genotype and explant?dependant.Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 24(2): 247-262, 2014 (December

The γ-aminobutyric acid (Gaba) is a non-protein amino acid found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Its role in plant development has not been fully established. This study reports a quantification of the levels of endogenous Gaba, as well as investigation of its role in different stages of somatic embryogenesis in Acca sellowiana Berg. (Myrtaceae). Zygotic embryos were used as explants and they were inoculated into the culture medium contained different concentrations of Gaba (0,2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 µM). The highest concentrations of endogenous Gaba were detected between the third and nine days after inoculation, reaching the value of 12.77 µmol.g-1FW. High frequency of somatic embryogenesis was observed in response to 10 µM Gaba. This treatment also resulted in a large number of normal embryos, and the lowest percentage of formation of fused somatic embryos, phenotypic characteristic of most deformed embryos in all treatments. Also, all treatments promoted the formation of the somatic embryos with positive characteristics of development resumption, which however did not originate the seedlings.

Dionaeamuscipula Ellis commonly known as Venus fly trap is an important carnivorous plant with medicinal importance. It contains certain secondary metabolites like naphthoquinones and is used in anti-aid and anti-cancer drugs and other medicines like Cornivora. Increasing interest and use as an ornamental and medicinal plant, and dietary supplement have put it in an endangered state. Development of in vitro techniques for the preservation of germplasm that is on the brink of extinction is highly demanded. A regeneration protocol for the multiplication and micropropagation of Dionaeamuscipla Ellis was established. In vitro regeneration potential of leaf explants in different concentrations and combinations of plant growth substances was investigated in this study. Seeds were grown and leaf disc explants were excised and cultured under aseptic conditions on nutritional medium containing half strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) mix with combinations of 1.0–20.0 μm BA, 2.5.0 μm IBA, 1.0–10.0 μm 2iP and 0.1–0.5μm TDZ. The cultures were kept in growth cabinet with cool white light (40–60 μmol·m-2·s-1) under 16-h photoperiod. Regeneration was recorded after 60 days with the intervals of 15 days based on the degree of shoot organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis. 1/2 MS + 0.1 TDZ appeared to be efficient for somatic embryogenesis and simple MS for direct shoot organogenesis. 1/2 MS combined with 2iP appeared to be efficient for regeneration either by direct shoot organogenesis or by somatic embryogenesis. Plants were rooted well in Cape Cundew medium. These investigations will aid in the development of a model system for clonal mass propagation and in vitro regeneration of Dionaeamuscipla Ellis.

Abstract Since the advent of transgenic technology, the incorporation of gene(s) encoding traits of economic importance in cotton is being practiced worldwide. However, factors like recalcitrant nature of cotton cultivars, in vitro regeneration via tissue culture (especially via somatic embryogenesis), genotype dependency, long and toilsome protocols impede the pace of development of transgenic cotton. Besides that, types and age of explants, media composition, plant growth regulators and other environmental factors affect in vitro cotton regeneration significantly. The studies of genetic control of in vitro regeneration in plants have elucidated the role of certain transcription factor genes that are induced and expressed during somatic embryogenesis. Among these transcription factors, BABY BOOM (BBM) plays a very important role in signal transduction pathway, leading to cell differentiation and somatic embryos formation. The role of BBM has been established in plant cell proliferation, growth and development even without exogenous growth regulators. This review intends to provide an informative summary of regeneration and transformation problems in cotton and the latest developments in utilization of BBM transcription factors in cotton. We believe that the use of BBM will not only ease cotton genetic improvement but will also accelerate cotton breeding programmes.

An efficient procedure has been developed for inducing direct somatic embryogenesis, organogenesis, and regeneration of plants from tissue cultures of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). Thin transverse sections of the cotyledons and juvenile leaves were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) or a substituted phenylurea, thidiazuron (TDZ). Somatic embryos or shoot buds differentiated from cut surfaces of the cotyledons and midrib region of the leaves. The application of BAP induced differentiation of shoot buds whereas the treatment with TDZ resulted in the production of somatic embryos. Somatic embryos developed into plants after subculturing on a basal meduim. Agar-solidified medium was found to be superior to the liquid medium for the development of embryos and shoot buds. The procedure of TDZ-induced somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration was successfully applied to three genotypes of peanut. A distinct feature of this study is the induction of the morphogenic competence in cultures of seedling expiants of peanut that so far have remained recalcitrant to somatic embryogenesis in vitro. Key words: peanut, Arachis hypogaea, shoot regeneration, somatic embryogenesis, thidiazuron, plant regeneration.

Padmanabhan, P., Murch, S. J., Sullivan, J. A. and Saxena, P. K. 2014. Development of an efficient protocol for high frequency in vitro regeneration of a horticultural plant Primulina tamiana (B.L. Burtt) Mich. Möller & A. Webber. Can. J. Plant Sci. 94: 1281–1287. A rapid and efficient in vitro regeneration system was established for Primulina tamiana, an attractive ornamental plant of horticultural importance. The successful regeneration protocol employed induction of shoot organogenesis on leaf explants. Among the various plant growth regulators evaluated, thidiazuron (TDZ) proved to be the most effective in inducing rapid de novo shoot formation. The highest shoot regeneration frequency within the shortest time from leaf explants was obtained on medium enriched with 2.5 µM TDZ. Furthermore, leaf segments were found to be a more suitable explant for in vitro shoot regeneration compared with petiole explants. The abaxial side of the leaf segments, which was in contact with the culture medium, generated more shoots than the adaxial side. Scanning electron microscopic studies carried out at various stages of de novo shoot differentiation demonstrated that shoot organogenesis involved the formation of actively dividing regions from the epidermal and subepidermal layers of the explants. In vitro rooting of the regenerated shoots was attempted using two different auxins, IAA (3-indoleacetic acid) and 3-indolebutyric acid (IBA) (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 µM). The optimum concentration for root induction was found to be 5 µM IBA. Approximately, 98% of the regenerated plants survived transfer and acclimation to greenhouse conditions.
