Changes of the ethanol level were detected by gas chromatography. During the culture period, the calluses of tobacco, potato and petunia were, able to catabolize exogenous ethanol, resulting in the prominent decline of the ethanol level in the medium. The calluses of melon and peanut were also able to catabolize thanol but with lower efficiency. The other three calluses of carrot, soybean and rice did not catabolize ethanol but instead produced small to large amount of ethanol, resulting in the increase of the ethanol level in the media. It was also found that changing the balance between auxin and cytokinin could influence only the ethanol metabolism efficiency but could not change the metabolism patterns on ethanol of the cultured calluses. It can be concluded that, ethanol metabolism pattern of calluses in cultures is an innate physiological characteristic of the respective plant species.展开更多

Lloyd and Mc Cown's woody plant medium and Murashige and Skoog's medium were used in the study as culture media. On the other hand, various concentrations and combinations of2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(1.0–2.0 mg/L) and kinetin(0.5–2.5 mg/L) had been incorporated in the culture media to exert the effects of auxin and cytokinin on callus induction.Results: From the present study, it was found that the profuse [(1.681 ± 0.770) g fresh weight,(0.239 ± 0.239) g dry weight] and friable callus formation was optimally produced with desirable morphology and considerable percentage of callus induction(56.70%) in endosperm explants cultured on 1.0 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 1.5 mg/L kinetin in Murashige and Skoog's medium.Conclusions: A reliable protocol for inducing callus formation of profuse and friable morphology in endosperm explant of B. racemosa had therefore been successfully established.展开更多

For morphogenic callus induction and proliferation from various explants, MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/l 2,4-D was highly efficient with 100% callus induction frequency from inter-nodal explants. Leaf explants showed quicker response than nodal and inter-modal explants, for callus initiation within 6 days of inoculation. Best grown callus was obtained from leaf explant. The leaf-derived callus was maintained up to several weeks, which indicated that 8-week incubation period was the most suitable for obtaining well proliferated, morphogenic callus. Temperature variation also affected the growth of in vitro induced morphogenic callus from various explants. Results have shown that 27°C proved to be the best temperature for morphogenic callus induction and proliferation from leaf and inter-nodal explants. Among the auxin-cytokinin combination, MS medium containing 1.0 mg/l N(6)-benzylaminopurin (BAP) and 2.0 mg/l NAA showed the highest efficiency of callus initiation and proliferation from leaf, nodal and inter-nodal explants. Light conditions proved better for callogenesis and proliferation from leaf, nodal and inter-nodal explants. Regeneration response from well grown morphogenic callus was prominent on MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/l BAP alone and 1.0 mg/l NAA with 3.0 mg/l BAP.展开更多

The best frequency of callusing was obtained from leaf segments (3-5 mm) cultured on the MS medium supplemented with 2 mg?L–1 2,4-D and 2 mg?L–1 BA combination. A negative effect of coconut water was ob-served on the callus induction medium. When callus lines no. 4, 6 and 8 induced from leaf segments were sub-cultured separately on ? MS and MS media containing AC (1-3 g?L–1), formation of somatic embryos was found. However, percentages of embryo formation and the number of embryos per explants were strongly affected by media and callus lines used. The effect of 1/2 MS media is definitely better than MS medium for somatic embryogenesis from the selected lines of leaf derived callus. Among the callus lines, line no. 4 is the best for somatic embryogenesis followed by line no. 6 and 8. The somatic embryos converted into healthy plants with well developed shoots on the same media. The plant-lets were transferred to 1/2 MS medium containing 1 g?L–1 AC for plant regeneration until 8 weeks of culture and successfully acclimatized in the greenhouse.展开更多

High frequency bud break were induced on Murashige and Skoog’s (1962) basal medium supplemented with 0.5 mg benzyladenine (BA)/l. After 10 days of culture, nodal explants with multiplied buds started callusing with restricted growth and defoliation. When the same nodal explants ware transferred into the same basal medium supplemented with 0.5 mg BA/l with different concentrations of either kinetin (KN) or gibberellic acid (GA3) or in combinations has shown healthy shoots with expanded shoot length. Excised shoots (2cm-3cm long with 2 to 3 nodes) when grown on 1/2 MS basal medium with 2.5 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 0.5% activated charcoal (A.C.)/l has shown rhizogenesis. After excision, in the second passage, the nodal explants also showed bud break when sub cultured on MS basal medium supplemented with 0.5 mg BA/l. These shoots also successfully rooted on the same above said medium.展开更多

For this purpose, indirect organogenesis technique is used to evaluate the in vitro responses of two cultivars of pineapple during the explant’s regeneration. Calli were induced from crown leaf and plantlets leaf of “Smooth Cayenne” and “Sugarloaf cultivars”. Murashige and Skoog medium with vitamins B5 supplemented with different growth regulators combinations were used. BAP and/or 2,4-D have been added to base medium for calli cells’ differentiation while BAP and GA3 have been added for plant elongation. The results indicated that explants from regenerated plantlets leaves cultivated on MS supplemented with copper (II) sulphate 5-hydrate concentrations incorporated had significant (p < 0.0001) influence on callus induction in pineapple cultivars. Likewise, MS medium with NAA (0.5 mg/l) + BAP (1 mg/l) had a highly significant influence with 8.8 differentiated Calli. Also, MS medium supplemented with BAP (3 mg/l) + GA3 (2 mg/l) for the “smooth Cayenne” had significantly influenced (p < 0.0001) Calli regeneration with a high rate of 55.25% plantlets. MS medium containing 0.5 mg/l of NAA + 0 mg/l IBA produced a high number of roots in Sugarloaf whereas the medium containing 1.5 mg/l NAA + 0.5 mg/l (IBA) produced high number of roots in smooth Cayenne. We have established an efficient and reproducible protocol for mass propagation and genetic transformation of pineapple though indirect organogenesis. This protocol may be used in genetics engineering studies for pineapple breeding.展开更多

The results showed that calli were all obtained on IS medium supplemented with 6-BA and NAA,KT and 2,4-D,or 6-BA and TDZ,but the shape and growth state of callus were different. The combination of 0.8 mg·L-1 6-BA+0.6 mg·L-1 NAA was the best in inducing callus from the extant,with the frequency of callus induction 100%,and the callus grew well after multiple subculture. Furthermore,the effect of 5 types of media (MS,NT,IS,WPM,B5) and different combinations of plant growth regulators on callus growth and triterpenoid accumulation were compared. It was found that WPM medium was most suitable for callus growth,the fresh weight on harvest was 6.6 g. IS medium was most suitable for triterpenoid accumulation,the content of triterpenoid on harvest was 2.37 mg·g-1 . The most beneficial combination of plant growth regulators for fresh weight was 0.4 mg·L-1 6-BA+0.1 mg·L-1 TDZ,the fresh weight on harvest was 14.08 g,while the most suitable combination of plant growth regulators for triterpenoid accumulation was 0.8 mg·L-1 6-BA+0.6 mg·L-1 NAA,the content of triterpenoid on harvest was 3.53 mg·g-1. It was concluded from above results that the best culture condition for callus growth and triterpenoid accumulation was IS+0.8 mg·L-1 6-BA+0.6 mg·L-1 NAA.展开更多

文摘A newly efficient protocol has been established for high frequency somatic embryogenesis through callus culture of Coelogyne cristata. The best frequency of callusing was obtained from leaf segments (3-5 mm) cultured on the MS medium supplemented with 2 mg?L–1 2,4-D and 2 mg?L–1 BA combination. A negative effect of coconut water was ob-served on the callus induction medium. When callus lines no. 4, 6 and 8 induced from leaf segments were sub-cultured separately on ? MS and MS media containing AC (1-3 g?L–1), formation of somatic embryos was found. However, percentages of embryo formation and the number of embryos per explants were strongly affected by media and callus lines used. The effect of 1/2 MS media is definitely better than MS medium for somatic embryogenesis from the selected lines of leaf derived callus. Among the callus lines, line no. 4 is the best for somatic embryogenesis followed by line no. 6 and 8. The somatic embryos converted into healthy plants with well developed shoots on the same media.
