Molecular identification of plants regenerated from somatic hybridization between rice and apomictic Panicum

We attempted to introduce apomictic gene(s)into rice via somatic hybridization by usingapomictic Panicum maximum Jacq.as thedonor of apomictic gene(s).Protoplasts of rice derived from suspen-sion cells were inactivated with indoacetamide(IOA)and protoplasts of Panicum maximum

The effect of dehydration on plant regeneration and some physiology characters in rice calli

The plant regeneration frequencies of ealli fromplant tissue and cell culture,especially that of thecalli from rice tissue culture and rice anther cul-ture,and that of the foreign-DNA-transfor-mation-derived rice calli is very low(usually 10-15%).It is therefor very important to improve theplant regeneration frequency of rice calli.A1-

Plant regeneration from mesophyll protoplast of indica rice Qiugui’ai 11 (Oryza sativa L.)

In the recent decade,plant regeneration fromprotoplast has been obtained through embryo-genic cell suspension cultures of rice.Howev-er,not only the establishment of embryogeniccell suspension cultures of rice was difficult,but also the protoplasts became less and lessregenerable and the genetic change was gradu-ally accumulated during the prolonged culture.Since 1976(Deka.),extensive efforts have

An efficient culture procedure for micro-propagation of rice regeneration plants

In this paper,we describe briefly an efficientculture procedure for micro-propagation of riceregeneration plants.The procedure consists ofthe following steps: 1.Preparation of materials Calli wereinduced from mature seeds of an indica rice lineG67 by culturing the husked and disinfectedseeds on agar medium,consisting of Nbasalelements,3％ sucrose,1000mg/L proline,and 32mg/L 2,4-D.After one month＇s in- duction culture and 3 wk subculture,compactand nodular calli were picked out and trans- ferred into liquid medium for suspension cul-tures.The liquid medium contained the same

Effect of agar concentration in media on green plantlet regeneration frequency in rice anther culture

We studied the effect of agar concentration inmedia on callus induction rate and green plant-let regeneration frequency in rice.Materialswere Fgeneration of indica/indica or indica/japonica,which were 96E76(Hei’e/Zhaiye- qing 8),96E80[(IR 24/Guanglu＇ai 4//Zhongnan’ai)/Yifengzao],96E86(Zhong- munong 9/Zhaiyeqing 8).The induction mediaused was M8+2mg/L 2,4-D,and agar con-centrations were 0.6％,0.8％,and 1.0％,respectively.Regeneration media was MS+2mg/L KT+0.5mg/L IAA+0.5mg/LNAA,and agar concentrations were 0.6％ and1.0％.Results indicated that the calli induc-

Varied responses to copper for plant regeneration from calli of different rice varieties

Enrichment of copper to the culture mediumcould enhance the plant regeneration from cal-lus of indica rice variety Qiugui’ai 11. Westudied the effect of copper on plant regenera-tion of other rice varieties.Calli of 14 indica and 2 japonica varietieswere induced from disinfected mature embryoson an agar-gelled medium containing Nbasal

Plant Regeneration from Protoplasts of Wide Compatible Rice

Rice selection 02428 and T984(Oryzasativa L.ssp.japonica)were germplasmresources with wide compatibility.Mature embryos of rice cultured on Lin-smaier and Skoog medium with 2.5 mg/l2,4-D,1.0 mg/l thiamine-HCL,3%(W/V)sucrose and 0.7%(W/V)agar,pH 5.8(LS2.5)were used for callus initiation.Cultures were
