Two different systems of plant regeneration via organogenesis and embryogenesis from immature cotyledons of pea (<i>Pisum sativum</i> L.) were developed. The first system was direct multiple shoot regeneration from the proximal to the embryo axis, injured part of cotyledon. The ability of six Polish cultivars to shoot formation was very high. The percent of regenerating cotyledons was from 73 to 86 and mean number of shoots from 3.5 to 9.9 after seven weeks of culture. This multiplification could be prolonged for next several months. The second system was somatic embryogenesis, initiating from the same part of cotyledon simultaneously with slowly proliferating callus. Only three out of six cultivars formed embryoids. The differences of ability to embryo formation ranged between 43% of responding explants for Heiga cultivar to only 6% for Cud Ameryki. The mean number of embryoids was from 4.2 to 2.3.

Multiple Shoot Regeneration

A simple, repeatable and efficient protocol for direct multiple shoot regeneration from internodal explants has been defined in peppermint ( Mentha x piperita var. Indus). In vitro regenerated shoots of peppermint were excised into 4 to 8 mm long internodes and cultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with different cytokinins. In the hormonal assay, 3.0 mg L-l zeatin or 6-isopentenyl adenine independently supplemented to half strength MS medium exhibited multiple shoot regeneration, while thiaduzorn (0.1-3.0 mg L−1) showed no morphogenetic effect. A maximum of 85% in vitro cultured explants showed multiple shoot formation with an average of 7 shoots per explant on MS medium supplemented with zeatin. Multiple shoots were initiated within three weeks of cultivation. Internodes with regenerated multiple shoots were transferred to half - strength MS medium without supplementing with any plant growth hormone for shoot elongation and rhizogenesis. Rooted plants acclimatized and grew to maturity under glasshouse conditions. The plantlets developed were phenotypically identical to the parent plant and exhibited 96 % survival.

Among the in vitro derived different explants such as cotyledonary leaf, hypocotyl, shoot tip and root of two local varieties, namely Singhnath and Kazla (BARI Begun-4) of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) cotyledonary leaf was found to be the best for multiple shoot regeneration. High frequency direct organo-genesis of shoots was achieved from cotyledonary leaf in MS supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP and 1.0 mg/l Kn. Anatomical studies using freezing microtome supported the formation of shoots through organogenesis. Proliferation and elongation of such shoots were obtained in hormone free MS. Moreover, the regenerated shoots produced healthy roots when they were cultured on MS without hormonal supplements. Following the formation of roots the in vitro raised plantlets were successfully established in soil. Viable seeds were obtained from the in vitro raised mature plants.Key words: Regeneration, Multiple shoot, EggplantDOI = 10.3329/ptcb.v16i1.1106Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 16(1): 53-61, 2006 (June)

Multiple Shoot Regeneration

MS with different concentrations and combinations of hormones were used for in vitro multiple shoot regeneration in two varieties of Brassica juncea, namely, BARI Sarisha-11 and BARI Sarisha-16 and one variety of Brassica campestris, Tori-7. The highest percentage of responsive explants towards the regeneration of shoots was obtained on MS with 2.0 mg/l BAP, 0.2 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l Kn in case of BARI Sarisha-11 and BARI Sarisha-16. For Tori-7, 3.0 mg/l BAP and 0.2 mg/l NAA was best for obtaining maximum number of shoots per explant. Among three varieties, BARI Sarisha-11 showed best response in terms of shoot regeneration as well as number of shoot per explant. Days required for induction of shoots was also recorded to be lowest in BARI Sarisha-11. Best root induction in BARI Sarisha-11 and BARI Sarisha-16 was achieved on hormone free MS. After proper hardening the in vitro regenerated plantlets were successfully transplanted into soil. Interestingly some of the in vitro regenerated shoots produced in vitro flowers on regeneration media as well as hormone free MS.

Shoot Initiation

In vitro plant regeneration from callus induced from embryos of mature seeds of 4 Australian varieties of rice was studied. Observations of callus induction on MS and N6 media indicated that MS medium supplemented with 0.5–2 mg/L of 2,4-D is suitable for callus formation from the varieties tested. Comparison of shoot initiation on medium containing BAP, BAP + NAA, and TDZ + NAA indicated that these varieties prefer BAP + NAA or TDZ + NAA in the shoot initiation medium. Partial desiccation, resulting in up to 20% loss of fresh weight of callus, significantly increased the regeneration frequency of the 4 rice varieties tested. The varieties showed varied response to number of shoots produced per callus. Regenerated shoots were rooted on plant growth regulator free medium. The plants regenerated were phenotypically normal and fertile. Our study showed that callus derived from mature embryos of these rice varieties are amenable to multiple shoot formation, and could be used for genetic transformation studies.

SummaryNormal human platelets have been separated according to density on continuous Percoll gradients and the platelet distribution divided into five fractions containing approximately equal numbers of platelets. The mean volumes and protein contents of the platelets in each fraction were found to correlate positively with density while the protein concentration did not differ significantly between the fractions. Four mitochondrial enzymes (monoamine oxidase, glutamate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase and NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase) were assayed and their activities per unit volume were found to increase in a very similar monotonie fashion with platelet density. When MAO and GDH were assayed on the same set of density fractions the correlation between the two activities was very high (r = 0.94–1.00, p <0.001) and a similar close correlation was found between MAO and ICDH. The results support the hypothesis that high density platelets either have a higher concentration of mitochondria or have larger mitochondria than low density platelets.
