INDUKSI KALUS EMBRIOGENIK DAN EMBRIO SOMATIK DARI EKSPLAN DAUN KULIM (Scorodacarpus borneensis Becc.)

Kulim is one of woody plant that have multifunction as wood source and for spice and medicinal. Generative propagation of this plant have trouble because seed use limited. The use of leaf segment through somatic embryogenesis to solve the problem. The objective of this study is to obtain the best treatment to embryogenic callus induction. The modification of basal medium of Murashige and Skoog was used as growth medium. The experiment was conducted in three stages are callus induction, embryogenic callus and somatic embryo induction. The treatment of 2,4-D (3,0 – 12 mg/l) used for callus induction. For embriogenic callus induction used 2,4-D (3,0 – 12,0 mg/l) combined with NAA 0,5 mg/l. The treatment of thidiazuron (0,1 – 0,7 mg/l) used for somatic embryo induction. The result showed that the treatment of 2,4-D 6,0 mg/l is the best for callus induction with compact of texture, green, dry and non embryogenic. The treatment of combination 2,4-D 12.0 mg/l with NAA 0.5 mg/l is the best for friable callus induction. The treatment of 2,4-D 6.0 mg/l combined with NAA 0,5 mg/l is the best for embryogenic callus induction with very friable of texture, easy to separate, dry, smooth and glossy. Thidiazuron of 0,1 mg/l treatment is the best for somatic embryos induction with the average number of 7,8 somatic embryos.

Improvement of a Genetic Transformation System and Preliminary Study on the Function of LpABCB21 and LpPILS7 Based on Somatic Embryogenesis in Lilium pumilum DC. Fisch

Auxin transport mediates the asymmetric distribution of auxin that determines the fate of cell development. Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation is an important technical means to study gene function. Our previous study showed that the expression levels of LpABCB21 and LpPILS7 are significantly up-regulated in the somatic embryogenesis (SE) of Lilium pumilum DC. Fisch. (L. pumilum), but the functions of both genes remain unclear. Here, the genetic transformation technology previously developed by our team based on the L.pumilum system was improved, and the genetic transformation efficiency increased by 5.7–13.0%. Use of overexpression and CRISPR/Cas9 technology produced three overexpression and seven mutant lines of LpABCB21, and seven overexpression and six mutant lines of LpPILS7. Analysis of the differences in somatic embryo induction of transgenic lines confirmed that LpABCB21 regulates the early formation of the somatic embryo; however, excessive expression level of LpABCB21 inhibits somatic embryo induction efficiency. LpPILS7 mainly regulates somatic embryo induction efficiency. This study provides a more efficient method of genetic transformation of L. pumilum. LpABCB21 and LpPILS7 are confirmed to have important regulatory roles in L. pumilum SE thus laying the foundation for subsequent studies of the molecular mechanism of Lilium SE.

Enhanced Somatic Embryo Induction of a Tree Peony, Paeonia ostii ‘Fengdan’, by a Combination of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 1-naphthylacetic Acid (NAA)

Somatic embryogenesis is a preferred method for vegetative propagation due to its high propagation efficiency. In this study, zygotic embryos, cotyledons, and hypocotyls of Paeonia ostii ‘Fengdan’ were used as the explant to induce somatic embryogenesis. The results showed that a combination of 0.5 mg·L−1 thidiazuron (TDZ) and 0.5 mg·L−1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was effective in inducing somatic embryos from the zygotic embryo and cotyledon explants. Hypocotyls only formed somatic embryos on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with both 0.5 mg·L−1 TDZ and 0.5 mg·L−1 1-naphthylacetic acid (NAA). Moreover, the compact callus was effectively produced from zygotic embryo, cotyledon, and hypocotyl explants in medium supplemented with a combination of 3.0 mg·L−1 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 1.0 mg·L−1 NAA, and then converted into somatic embryos in the same medium, and the ratio of the explants with embryo induction and number of embryos induced per explant were much higher than those induced by 0.5 mg·L−1 TDZ and either 0.5 mg·L−1 2,4-D or 0.5 mg·L−1 NAA. The MS medium was better than the woody plant medium (WPM) for inducing somatic embryos from zygotic embryo and hypocotyl explants, whereas the WPM was better than the MS medium for somatic embryogenesis induction from cotyledon explants. All of the somatic embryos developed well into mature embryos on their respective media supplemented with both 3.0 mg·L−1 BA and 1.0 mg·L−1 NAA. Overall, the protocols for indirect somatic embryogenesis from zygotic embryo, cotyledon, and hypocotyl of P. ostii ‘Fengdan’ were successfully established, which can greatly facilitate their propagation and breeding processes.

ABSTRACT<br /><br />Somatic embryo induction medium was reported to be genotype dependent for soybean. This study was aimed to obtain the optimum medium for embryo somatic induction and proliferation, and to regenerate somatic embryo of five soybean genotypes. Five soybean genotypes (Tanggamus, Anjasmoro, Yellow Biloxi, CG-22-10, and SP-10-4) were used in this study. The research was divided into four steps: (1) embryogenic callus induction of five soybean genotypes, (2) embryogenic callus proliferation of five soybean genotypes, (3) optimation of embryo somatic induction on five soybean genotypes and (4) embryo somatic regeneration of five soybean genotypes. The induction experiment showed that based on number of embryogenic callus, the best somatic embryo-induction medium was 3% sucrose+ NAA 5 mg L-1+2,4-D 5 mg L-1+ Vitamin B5. Embryogenic callus number for each genotype tested was increased on proliferation media of 3% sukrosa + 2,4-D 5 mg L-1 + NAA 5 mg L-1+ Vit B5, and Yellow Biloxi gave the highest number of proliferated somatic embryos compared to other genotypes. Increasing number of globular somatic embryo of all genotypes was obtained from the optimation of somatic embryo induction media being used, and Tanggamus genotype gave the highest number of globular somatic embryo which followed by Yellow Biloxi genotype. Tanggamus and Yellow Biloxi genotypes were also successfully formed the four steps of somatic embryos (globular, heart, torpedo, and cotyledonary stages), but in regeneration medium of MS0 and media MS + sukrosa 10 g L-1 + GA3 2 mg L-1 + BAP 4 mg L-1 + Vit B5 only Tanggamus genotype was regenerated into plantlet. <br /><br />Keywords: 2,4-D, NAA, somatic embryos, induction, proliferation<br /><br />
