`Gulfstream' and `Charentais' muskmelons (Cucumis melo. L.) plants were regenerated by in vitro culture to increase their genetic variability for resistance to root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). While no genetic variability for root knot resistance was found, regenerated plants exhibited other traits that varied from the donor cotyledons. Chromosome counts confirmed that >75% of the somaclonal variants were tetraploid (2n = 24; 4n = 48). Tetraploids consistently exhibited micro- and macroscopic morphological changes that enabled distinction between tetraploids and diploids without chromosome counts; tetraploids contained enlarged stomates with more chloroplasts in the guard cells and pollen with a high percentage of square-appearing shapes. Tetraploids exhibited distinctive macroscopic morphological changes, including differences in leaf structure, fruit shape, blossom-end scar, number of vein tracts, and seed size.

The phenotypic stability of morphometric traits in Lycopersicon spp. (stem perimeter at the base, middle and top, and number of flowers per cluster) was measured by multivariate analysis through a progeny test in order to estimate the genetic stability of these traits. Principal components were calculated for two groups of Lycopersicon spp., non-regenerated plants and the progeny of regenerated plants. Analysis of variance was performed to support principal component analysis. Both groups presented similar eigenvalues and eigenvectors, while no significant differences were found between any of the traits studied. These results indicated that the phenotypic structure was the same among the progeny of regenerated and non-regenerated plants, so that no variation would occur in in vitro culture. Multivariate analysis proved to be an appropriate methodology for the measurement of the stability of morphometric traits after one regeneration cycle.

Theca cells, including theca interna cells and theca externa cells, are vital components of ovarian follicles. The aim of the present study is to identify a reliable method for the in vitro culture of theca cells from duck ovarian hierarchical (F4-F2) follicles. We improved the method for cell separation by using trypsin to further remove granular cells, and we increased the concentration of fetal bovine serum used in in vitro culture to improve cytoactivity. Cell antibody immunofluorescence (IF) showed that all inoculated cells could be stained by the CYP17A1/19A1 antibody but not by the FSHR antibody, which could stain granulosa cells. Furthermore, morphological differences were observed between the outlines of theca interna and externa cells and in their nuclei. Growth curve and CYP17A1/19A1 mRNA relative expression analyses suggested that the growth profile of theca interna cells may have been significantly different from that of theca externa cells in vitro. Theca interna cells experienced the logarithmic phase on d1–d2, the plateau phase on d2–d3, and the senescence phase after d3, while theca externa cells experienced the logarithmic phase on d1–d3, the plateau phase on d3–d5, and the senescence phase after d5. Taken together, these results suggested that we have successfully established a reliable theca cell culture model and further defined theca cell characteristics in vitro.

Cotyledons from developing 6- to 8-week-old embryos of Liatris spicata (L.) Willd. (blazing star) were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium containing 0, 0.4, 4.4, or 44.4 μm BA or 0, 0.2, 2.2, or 22.2 μm TDZ to induce adventitious shoot formation. The highest percentage of cotyledons forming the most shoots was on medium containing 2.2 μm TDZ. Cotyledon-derived callus cultured on medium containing 4.4 μm BA formed ≈16 times more adventitious shoots than on 2.2 μm TDZ. Adventitious shoots derived from cotyledons or callus produced roots when placed on MS medium containing 5.0 μm IBA. Regenerated plants that flowered in the field appeared homogeneous. Chemical names used: N6-benzyladenine (BA), thidiazuron (TDZ), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA).

This study aimed to investigate the regeneration capability of cell suspension derived from hypocotyl callus of the vegetable plant, muskmelon, Cucumis melo L. Culture of the densities (7.5, 9.8, 13.0, 11.2, 7.8, 4.2 )× 102 cell/ml produced callus primordia which formed typical callus culture successfully. This green – yellowish color and semi-compact callus regenerated shoots on agar solidified MS medium supplemented with 2.0mgL-1BA. These regenerates rooted readily in MS0 medium. They were adapted and routinely transferred to soil. The conclusion of this work that muskmelon plants have a good response to in vitro culture with no need to specific requirements.

Estimates of genetic variability for in vitro culture traits among the genus Lycopersicon and evaluation of the gene effects involved in callus production and shoot formation were achieved. Five parents including wild and cultivated tomato genotypes and their nonreciprocal 10 possible hybrid combinations were assayed. The callus percentage (C = number of cultures that only produced callus× 100/total number of cultures), the regeneration percentage (R = number of cultures that differentiated into shoots or primordia × 100/total number of cultures) and the productivity rate (PR = total number of shoots/total number of cultures) of each genotype were calculated 45 days after culture initiation. Diallel analysis revealed genetic variability for in vitro culture response. Wild genotypes contributed to a reduction in callus production and an increase in shoot formation while the cultivated genotypes either had an opposite effect or did not modify the expression of culture traits. Hybrids had the lowest callus production and highest shoot formation percentage. Additive gene effects were mainly involved in the expression of C and R, while both additive and nonadditive gene effects were involved in expression of PR.

A<br />research to increase the genetic variability of the plant was conducted in<br />Tissue Culture Laboratory of the Indonesian Medicinal and Aromatic<br />Research Institute, Bogor from April to December 2005. The leaf of<br />Rodent tuber in vitro used as an explants. Murashige and Skoog (MS)<br />medium used as basic medium, supplemented with vitamin from B group,<br />sucrose 30 g/l was added into the medium as carbon source. The research<br />consist of two steps : 1) calli induction and 2) calli regeneration. The<br />treatment tested in first step : 2.4-D 0.1 mg/l; 2.4-D 0.5 mg/l; 2.4-D 1,0<br />mg/l; 2.4-D 0.1 + kinetin 0.1 mg/l; 2.4-D 0.5 mg/l + kinetin 0.1 mg/l; 2.4-<br />D 1.0 mg/l + kinetin 0,1 mg/l; 2.4-D 0.1 mg/l + kinetin 0.3 mg/l; 2.4-D 0.5<br />mg/l + kinetin 0.3 mg/l and 2.4-D 1.0 mg/l + kinetin 0.3 mg/l. In the<br />second steps, several concentration of BA were tested i.e: BA 0,1 mg/l ;<br />BA 0,3 mg/l and BA 0,5 mg/l. The experiment was arranged in<br />completely randomized design with factorial pattern. Each treatment<br />consist of five replications. The parameters observed were time of calli<br />initiation, texture, colour of calli and number of shoot and leaves in<br />regeneration. The result showed that calli can be induced on 2.4-D 1.0<br />mg/l + kinetin 0.1 mg/l and 2.4-D 1.0 mg/l + kinetin 0.3 mg/l, eight to ten<br />weeks after culture. The best medium for shoots regeneration contains 2.4-<br />D 1.0 mg/l + kinetin 0.3 mg/l with 0.3 mg/l BA, with mean result of 13.2<br />shoots and 4.4 leaves.<br />Key words : Rodent tuber, Typonium flagelliforme Lodd. bl , induction,<br />regeneration, calli, in vitro</p>
