Optimization of tissue culture conditions and attempts of adding signal molecules are effective ways to increase plant regeneration rate. Inter-culture is one of ways that have not been investigated in plant tissue culture. Moreover, the use of arabinogalactan proteins （AGPs） and hydrogen peroxide （H202） have been reported to increase regeneration rate in a few plant species other than wheat. The current research pioneeringly uses inter-culture of immature embryos of different wheat genotypes, and also investigates impacts of AGP and H2O2 on the induction of embryogenic calli and plant regeneration. As a result, high-frequency regeneration wheat cultivars Kenong 199 （KN 199） and Xinchun 9 （XC9）, together with low-frequency regeneration wheat line Chinese Spring （CS）, presented striking increase in the induction of embryogenic calli and plant regeneration rate of CS through inter-culture strategy, up to 52.19 and 67.98%, respectively. Adding 50 to 200 mg L-1 AGP or 0.005 to 0.01‰ H2O2 to the callus induction medium, enhanced growth of embryogenic calli and plant regeneration rate in quite a few wheat genotypes. At 50 mg L-1 AGP application level in callus induction medium plant regeneration rates of 8.49,409.06 and 283.16% were achieved for Jimai 22 （JM22）, Jingdong 18 （JD18） and Yangmai 18 （YM18）, respectively; whereas at 100 mg L-1 AGP level, CS （105.44%）, Chuannong 16 （CN16） （80.60%） and Ningchun 4 （NC4） （62.87%） acted the best. Moreover CS （79.05%）, JM22 （7.55%）, CN16 （101.87%）, YM18 （365.56%）, Yangmai 20 （YM20） （10.48%）, and CB301 （187.40%） were more responsive to 0.005 %o of H2O2, and NC4 （35.37%） obtained the highest shoot regeneration rates at 0.01%o of H2O2. Overall, these two methods, inter-culture and AGP （or H2O2） application, can be further applied to wheat transgenic research.展开更多

Ikizce-96, Triticum durum Desf. cv. Mirzabey and Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Tokak） were used to establish an efficient plant regeneration system for cereals. Percentage of callus production, capacity of regeneration were calculated, and also culture effect, root, stem, and total plant length of regenerant plants were observed in six different regeneration media （MS control, MS＋2, 5, 7, 10, 12 mg L-1 AGP） in these three different genotypes. According to the results, the highest amount of callus production was found in Ikizce-96 as 93.75% using 5 mg L-1 dicamba and 1 mg L-1 kinetin in induction medium. However, the most improved callus was observed in diploid barley Tokak as 179.95 mg in weight and 6.18 mm in diameter, respectively. The highest regeneration capacity was observed in the dose of 5 mg L-1 AGP in MS of all the genotypes and hexaploid wheat Ikizce-96 gave the best results with the highest regeneration capacity and culture effects （94.86 and 92.5%） in the same dose of AGE These results indicated that effective dose of AGP in regeneration medium increase plant regeneration in calli derived from cereal mature embryos.展开更多

In the stem apex meristem (SAM) of the cucumber, epitopes of MAC 207, JIM 7, and JIM 5 were localized in the cells from second to third peripheral layers when the sex organ primodium began to differentiate; epitopes of MAC 207 and JIM 5 were also detected in the ragged edge cells. A very dense labeling signal with MAC 207 was observed in the carpel and pistil primodium. The AGP epitopes recognized by JIM 8 were localized in the anther of the male flower and the anther-like portion of the stagnant stamen of the female flower. This suggests that the AGPs and pectins in the SAM of the cucumber are closely associated with the differentiation of the SAM, from meristematic cells to floral primodium. The subset of AGPs recognized by JIM 8 may play an important role in stamen formation.展开更多
