AbstractThe aim of the present investigation was to optimize protocols for micropropagation and adventitious shoot regeneration from leaf explants of two wild ecotypes of red flesh apple Malus niedzwetzkyana for future breeding programs. At the proliferation stage, different concentrations of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and triacontanol (TRIA) were compared. To optimize shoot regeneration from leaf explants, interactive effects of 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thidiazol-5-yl)-urea – thidiazuron (TDZ), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and two explant types were investigated. At rooting stage, the effect of exposure time of microshoots to darkness and exposure time to different concentrations of IBA and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) were compared. The results showed that SNP affected the growth rate significantly and the maximum multiplication rates per explant (9.6 in the first ecotype and 8.8 in the second) were produced in the Quoirin and Lepoivre medium containing 17 SNP µM, in addition to 4 µm 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 3 µm gibberellic acid (GA3). IBA and TDZ affected the adventitious shoot regeneration from leaf explants significantly, the highest number of regenerated shoots (18.3 per explant) was obtained from the basal section of the leaves cultured on the medium containing 2 μM IBA and 15 μM TDZ. At rooting stage, the maximum rooting (88.6%) was obtained in the result of one weak exposure to darkness on medium containing 3 μM IBA.

Abstract Diploid strawberry (Fragaria vesca ‘Baiguo’) is a model plant for studying functional genomics in Rosaceae. Adventitious shoot regeneration is essential for functional genomics by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. An efficient shoot regeneration method using diploid strawberry leaf explants was conducted on 1/2MS + 1/2B5 medium that contained 2.0 mg L−1 TDZ over 14 days of dark culture; this induced the maximum percentage of shoot regeneration (96.44 ± 1.60%) and the highest number of shoots per explant (23.46 ± 2.14) after 11 weeks of culture. The explants considerably enlarged after 12 days; then, turned greenish brown after 30 days, yellowish brown after 36 days, and completely brown and necrotic after 48 days. Large numbers of adventitious shoots were produced from 48 to 66 days, and the shoots elongated from 66 to 78 days; this represents a critical period of reinvigoration, which included 30 days for leaf explant chlorosis, 36 days for adventitious shoot appearance, and 48 days for generation of numerous shoots. During the reinvigoration process, higher expressions of the hormone synthesis-related genes Ciszog1, CKX2, CKX3, CKX7, YUC2, YUC6, YUC10, YUC9, and GA2ox were detected from 30 to 48 days. Our results indicate that these genes may regulate reinvigoration of shoot regeneration.

Plantlets were regenerated from in vitro-grown leaf explants of five genotypes of Liquidambar formosana on WPM basal medium supplemented with different concentrations of TDZ and NAA. With the addition of 0.27 μm NAA, regeneration efficiency was increased by 2- to 4-fold over that with TDZ alone. Lower concentrations of TDZ (0.45–2.27 μm) were beneficial for regenerating shoot clusters. Four genotypes (P2, P6, P9, and P11) showed high regeneration rates (up to 90%), whereas genotype P13 showed a low capability for shoot regeneration on all media tested (<35%). For all five genotypes, the optimum medium for inducing adventitious shoots was WPM supplemented with 1.14 μm TDZ and 0.27 μm NAA, on which regeneration rate ranged from 72.6% to 89.5% and adventitious shoot clusters per regenerating leaf explant ranged from 2.63 to 3.11 in four genotypes (P2, P6, P9, and P11), while for P13, the regeneration rate and number of shoot clusters per regenerating explant were 23% and 1.39, respectively. Transfer of shoot clusters to WPM basal medium containing 0.54 μm NAA, 2.22 μm BA, and 1.44 μm GA3, resulted in shoot elongation. All the elongated shoots were rooted on WPM supplemented with 9.84 μm IBA, and plantlets were transplanted to soil successfully. Chemical names used: 6-benzyladenine (BA), gibberellic acid (GA3), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), plant growth regulator (PGR), thidiazuron (TDZ), woody plant medium (WPM).

Organic competence of different explant sizes and locations on watermelon seedlings was determined by calculating the percentage of cotyledon explants that produced adventitious shoots. About 52% (214/412) of explants prepared from the proximal region of cotyledons formed shoots, whereas only ≈6% (24/411) of distal explants did so. Shoot formation was limited to the proximal end of basal explants but was not restricted to any specific region on distal ones. The percentage of explants that produced harvestable shoots was greater from basal halves than basal quarters in `Sweet Gem', `Crimson Sweet', and `Minilee', but explant size did not affect adventitious shoot regeneration of `Yellow Doll', resulting in significant interaction between cultivar and explant size. This study indicates that cultivars that respond poorly to in vitro procedures may have fewer cells competent for shoot regeneration, requiring special care during explant preparation.

A complete regeneration protocol was developed for Prunus serotina Ehrh., an important hardwood species for timber and sawlog production in the central and eastern United States. Nodal sections were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.44 μm 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), 0.49 μm indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and 0.29 μm gibberellic acid (GA3). In vitro leaf explants of three genotypes were placed on woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with 0, 2.27, 4.54, or 6.81 μm thidiazuron (TDZ) in combination with 0, 0.54, 1.07, or 5.37 μm naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and on WPM supplemented with 0, 4.44, 8.88, or 13.32 μm BA in combination with 0, 0.54, 1.07, or 5.37 μm NAA. Cultures were maintained either in continuous darkness for 5 weeks, or in the dark for 3 weeks and then transferred to a 16-hour photoperiod. TDZ and the genotype had a significant effect on the number of shoots regenerated. The maximum mean number of shoots regenerated per explant (5.05 ± 1.14) was obtained with 2.27 μm TDZ plus 0.54 μm NAA with the 3-week dark period then light treatment. The highest percent shoot regeneration (38.3) and mean number of shoots (4.13 ± 0.97) was obtained with 6.81 μm TDZ plus 1.07 μm NAA. The highest rooting (27%) of adventitious shoots and number of roots per shoot (2.3 ± 0.2) was obtained with 2.5 μm IBA when shoots were maintained for 7 days in the dark on rooting medium before transfer to a 16-hour photoperiod. The highest rooting (70%) of nodal explant-derived stock cultures and number of roots per shoot (2.7 ± 0.9) was also obtained with 2.5 μm IBA, but when shoots were maintained for 4 days in the dark before transfer to a 16-hour photoperiod. In total, 86% of the plantlets survived acclimatization to the greenhouse and 100% survival after overwintering in cold-storage.
