The results indicate that explant, light condition, salt concentration and acetosyringone (AS) concentration in co-culture medium are the most important factors, and factors like co-culture temperature, co-culture period and bacteria density have a strong effect on the growth of bacteria and then T-DNA transfer. Optimized co-cultivation was performed by inoculation of embryogenic callus with bacteria at a density of OD600= 0.50.8 for 20 min and co-culture in darkness under 23 C on medium with 1/2 MS salts and 300 mol稬1 AS for 3 d.展开更多

The results showed that after an induction period of 8 d on MS medium with 1.5 mg L-1 TDZ and 0.05 mg L-1 NAA in the dark and a subculture on MS medium with 0.5 mg L-1 BA and 0.01 mg L-1 NAA under light, the best plant regeneration was obtained and the regeneration frequencies of leaflets and petioles were 51.8 and 10% respectively. There was no significant difference in regeneration ability between leaflets at different sites of the compound leaves, longer time of induction in the dark or high concentration of auxin would cause callus formation, which was disadvantageous for shoot regeneration, and the regeneration frequency was significantly reduced. This regeneration system could be applied for genetic transformation of this cultivar in the future.展开更多

Ethylene production and 1- aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase and oxidase activities were determined first. After ethylene treatment, ethylene production, ACC synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO) activities in petals increased and peaked at the earlier stage (stage 3) in ‘Samantha’, and they were much more dramatically enhanced and peaked at the later stage (stage 4) in ‘Kardinal’ than control during vasing. cDNA fragments of three Rh-ACSs and one Rh- ACO genes were cloned and designated as Rh-ACS1, Rh-ACS2, Rh-ACS3 and Rh-ACO1 respectively. Northern blotting analysis revealed that, among three genes of ACS, ethylene-in- duced expression patterns of Rh-ACS3 gene corresponded to ACS activity and ethylene production in both cultivars. A more dramatic accumulation of Rh-ACS3 mRNA was induced by ethylene in ‘Kardinal’ than that of ‘Samantha’. As an ethylene action inhibitor, STS at concentration of 0.2 mmol/L generally inhib-ited the expression of Rh-ACSs and Rh-ACO in both cultivars, although it induced the expression of Rh-ACS3 transiently in ‘Kardinal’. Our results suggests that ‘Kardinal’ is more sensitive to ethylene than ‘Samantha’; and the changes of Rh-ACS3 expression caused by ethylene might be related to the acceleration of flower opening in ‘Samantha’ and the inhibition in ‘Kardinal’. Additional results indicated that three Rh-ACSs genes were differentially associated with flower opening and senescence as well as wounding.展开更多
