A simple and efficient protocol for direct in vitro shoot multiplication and plant regeneration was established for an important aromatic medicinal plant, Alpinia calcarata. Preinduction of rhizome segments in medium containing 8.8 μM 6-benzylamino purine (BAP) rescued the buds from dormancy in 60% of the cultures. An average of 6.2 shoots were produced from rhizomatous bud explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 5 μM BAP, 10 μM kinetin, and 2.5 μM α-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The mother cultures retained their morphogenetic potential upto four subcultures and a maximum of 1.77-fold increase in shoot multiplication was recorded after the 3rd subculture. Rooting was simultaneously induced during subculture on shoot multiplication medium eliminating an additional step for rooting induction. Rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized in pots in the greenhouse and subsequently established in the experimental garden without any visible symptoms of wilting and necrosis. The genetic fidelity of regenerated plants was evaluated by adapting to two PCR-based DNA marker techniques, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) which detected no variability in the in vitro multiplied plantlets of A. calcarata. This efficient method of clonal multiplication may be useful for commercial scale multiplication, and in situ and ex situ conservation of elite germplasm of A. calcarata.  相似文献

Kaempferia angustifolia is an aromatic, essential oil-yielding plant of the Zingiberaceae family with an ethno-medicinal repute. We standardized an effective system for micropropagation of K. angustifolia, and this is probably the very first report of in vitro culture of this species. Axillary buds were cultured on a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and spermidine. Highest multiplication occurred when the MS medium was supplemented with a combination of 2.0 mg L?1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 2.0 mg L?1 kinetin (KIN) and 1.0 mg L?1 α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Addition of spermidine (2.0 mM) along with optimum PGRs had further improved the multiplication rate with a maximum of 6.6 ± 0.36 shoots per explant within 60 days of implantation. The number of multiplied shoots per explant increased with each subsequent regeneration cycle; and the shoots per explant increased from 6.6 ± 0.36 on the 1st regeneration cycle to 10.3 ± 0.42 on the 2nd regeneration cycle and further increased to 13.7 ± 0.37 on the 3rd regeneration cycle on the same medium composition. The best result for in vitro root induction of multiplied shoot was achieved on a half-strength MS medium fortified with 2.0 mg L?1 IBA, with a maximum of 18.5 ± 0.28 roots per shoot. Regenerated plantlets were acclimatized with 88.9 % survival rate. After 9 months of field-transfer, all these plants were harvested and rhizomes were collected. However, the present protocol can definitely be applied for large-scale propagation and commercial cultivation of K. angustifolia.  相似文献

Although several studies have been made on the micropropagation of Jatropha curcas using agar base mediums, none of them have been by using liquid medium systems. The effects of explant type and temporary immersion system (test tube, jar with filter paper boat, and growtek bioreactor) on the micropropagation of J. curcas were studied. The explant type influenced shoot quality, multiplication coefficient (MC), and rooting. Leaf explant produced more and longer shoots than nodal explant. Use of filter paper (FB) boat prevented hyperhydricity and allowed proliferation of nodal explants cultured in liquid MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium supplemented 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and Kinetin (KN). The best shoot bud induction (92.1±3.1%) was achieved in liquid MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L KN. Leaf regeneration efficiency was compared in growtek bioreactor and in jar containing liquid MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L Thidiazuron (TDZ). The best shoot bud regeneration (78.7±2.1%) was obtained in growtek bioreactor. Shoot buds achieved from nodal segment and leaf were subcultured on filter paper boats in jar and bioreactor containing liquid MS medium supplemented with BAP, Indole butyric acid (IBA), Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and KN. Best shoot proliferation and elongation was obtained in filter paper boats containing liquid MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/L BAP, 0.5 mg/L IAA, and 0.2 mg/L KN. The number of multiple shoot buds was higher in leaf explants as compared to nodal explants and the highest number of multiple shoot buds was recorded from leaf explants. Up to 76.4% rooting efficiency was obtained when the shoots were ex vitro rooted. The generated plants well established in the nursery and grew normally in outdoor conditions. The protocol has good potential for application in large-scale propagation of J. curcas using liquid medium.  相似文献

In the present study, in vitro propagation of tribal endemic medicinal plant, Andrographis lineata has been established using mature nodal explants. High frequency of regeneration (91.4%) was achieved on MS medium containing BA (3.0 mg L–1) along with IAA (0.2 mg L–1). Strikingly, irrespective of the season and collection period, we observed axillary flower induction and fruit formation from the above in vitro cultures supplemented with BA and NAA. Transition from the vegetative to the reproductive phase occurred within 2 months of culture, and importantly was influenced by factors such as sucrose and cytokinins. In vitro-regenerated flowers were morphologically identical to in vivo flowers. Furthermore, our scanning electron microscopic studies revealed that pollen external morphology of both in vitro and in vivo flowers were similar. The flowers self-fertilized and produced fruits in vitro. Elongated shoots rooted well on half-strength MS basal medium, and were successfully acclimatized to the garden conditions. Altogether, our established protocol can be utilized in plant breeding for the purpose of ex situ conservation, quick flowering, and fruit set.  相似文献

The pointed gourd (Trichosanthes dioica Roxb.) is an important cucurbit reported for its medicinal value, therapeutic potential, and as a popular delicacy (especially in Indian cuisine). Being nutritive and desirous, it has potential to feed the nations and addresses their nutritional security and economic prosperity. The plant is usually vegetatively propagated and cultivated for fruits during summer and rainy seasons. The limited supply of planting material, limits cultivation and production. The present study was in anticipation for direct organogenesis, callus induction, and somatic embryo formation from leaf and node explants of T. dioica Roxb. In this study, the MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D was found to be most efficient for callus induction, followed by 0.5 mg/L Kn and 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D. The embryogenic callus was developed by sub-culturing of node callus in the same media. The scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis revealed the presence of embryogenic cell clusters having globular embryos, which were found irresponsive to develop further. Through direct organogenesis, the node explants have responded to produce true-to-type plants for propagation. It was observed that MS supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BA was efficient for shoot proliferation, and 0.5 mg/L IAA was found more efficient for root development. Notably, the plant remains unexplored in its potential for improvement involving molecular breeding and tissue culture. These results may be effective to produce genetically stable plants on a large scale and aid the genetic improvement of pointed gourds.  相似文献

Protocols of plant regeneration have been developed for Brassica carinata for creating somaclonal variation for plant type and adaptability, so that this species can fit into cropping systems in Indian agriculture. The response of cotyledonary and stem explants was assessed for callus induction and shoot regeneration on MS and B5 basal media containing different combinations of auxin and cytokinin concentrations. MS medium supplemented with BA and NAA favoured callus induction. Supplementing MS with combinations of BA and IAA, as also with BA alone, regenerated shoots from the ex pi ants with a high frequency. The frequency of shoot regeneration and the mean number of shoots per explant were higher in cotyledons than in stem explants on identical growth regulator combinations. On B5 medium, supplemented with BA (2 mg/l) and IBA (0.4 mg/l), compact callus was produced which regenerated shoots on transfer to medium containing BA (0.8 mg/l). Genotypic differences among carinata accessions for regeneration were also observed.  相似文献

Jatropha curcas, the energy plant has attained great attention in recent years because of its biodiesel production potential; however, oil and deoiled cakes are toxic. A non-toxic variety of J. curcas is reported from Mexico. A simple and efficient protocol has been developed for plant regeneration using cotyledonary petiole explants of non-toxic variety of J. curcas. The percentage of induction of shoot buds (59.11%), and the number of shoot buds (5.01) per explant was achieved on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with 2.27 μM thidiazuron (TDZ). These induced shoot buds multiplied when subcultured on MS medium supplemented with 10 μM kinetin (Kn), 4.5 μM 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP), and 5.5 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) for 4 weeks and subsequent elongation achieved on MS medium supplemented with 2.25 μM BAP and 8.5 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Shoots more than 2 cm long were harvested and cultured on MS medium containing different concentrations and combinations of IBA, IAA, NAA, and 0.25 mg L?1 activated charcoal, and 19.91% rooting was achieved in 15 μM IBA, 5.7 μM IAA, and 16.5 μM NAA after 4 weeks with more than 90% survival rate.  相似文献

The aim of this study is to introduce the suitable protocol for indirect regeneration from seedling-derived leaf segment of Ficus religiosa. The leaf explant successfully produced callus on MS medium containing various concentrations of auxin in combination with BAP. The maximum callus induction (100%) was achieved in MS medium containing 0.5 mg/l 2,4-D plus 0.05 mg/l BAP and MS medium containing 1.5 mg/l NAA plus 0.15 mg/l BAP as well. MS medium consisting of 2,4-D produced yellow-brownish and friable callus (type I) while the yellowish and compact calli (type II) were obtained in MS medium consisting of NAA. On the other hand, MS medium supplemented with IBA formed greenish and compact calli (type Ш). The regeneration rate in type II callus was less than the type I, and there was no shoot induction observed on type Ш calli. MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/l BAP in combination with 0.15 mg/l IBA had the highest regeneration frequency (100%) and maximum shoot numbers (5.16) as well as shoot length (2.56 cm) in type I callus. A maximum of 93.33% root induction was observed in MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l IBA plus 0.1mg/l NAA. The plantlets were successfully transferred to the greenhouse. This system could be utilized for large-scale multiplication of Ficus religiosa.  相似文献

A set of putative marker genes to study plant defense responses against Polyphagotarsonemus latus, a key pest in the production of Rhododendron simsii hybrids, was selected and validated. Genes belonged to the biosynthetic pathway of phytohormones jasmonic acid (JA) (RsLOX, RsAOS, RsAOC, RsOPR3 and RsJMT) and salicylic acid (SA) (RsPAL and RsICS). Furthermore, RsPPO, a putative marker gene for oxidative stress response was successfully cloned from R. simsii. A CTAB-based extraction protocol was optimized to assure excellent RNA quality for subsequent RT-qPCR analysis. The RT-qPCR protocol was extensively tested and RsRG7 and RsRG14 were selected as reference genes from a geNorm pilot study. Validation of the marker genes was done after application with elicitors [methyl jasmonate (MeJA), coronatine, β-aminobutyric acid and acibenzolar-Smethyl] or wounding. Both 100 μM MeJA and 0.1 μM coronatine had a significant effect on the expression of all marker genes. Foliar application of MeJA on the shoots resulted in a significantly earlier response when compared to root application and subsequent sampling of the shoots. Expression patterns after MeJA treatment were generally the same in six R. simsii genotypes: ‘Nordlicht’, ‘Elien’, ‘Aiko Pink’, ‘Michelle Marie’, ‘Mevrouw Gerard Kint’ and ‘Sachsenstern’. Wounding resulted in the same expression patterns as MeJA treatment except for RsJMT. None of the genotypes showed a significant induction of the latter gene 6 h upon wounding. Findings of these experiments indicated that the tolerant genotype ‘Elien’ has low basal expression levels of RsPPO. This might be the first step towards the breeding of mite-tolerant genotypes.  相似文献

Compact growth is an important quality criterion in horticulture. Many Campanula species and cultivars exhibit elongated growth which is suppressed by chemical retardation and cultural practice during production to accommodate to the consumer’s desire. The production of compact plants via transformation with wild type Agrobacterium rhizogenes is an approach with great potential to produce plants that are non-GMO. Efficient transformation and regeneration procedures vary widely among both plant genera and species. Here we present a transformation protocol for Campanula. Hairy roots were produced on 26–90% of the petioles that were used for transformation of C. portenschlagiana (Cp), a C. takesimana × C. punctata hybrid (Chybr) and C. glomerata (Cg). Isolated hairy roots grew autonomously and vigorously without added hormones. The Cg hairy roots produced chlorophyll and generated plantlets in response to treatments with cytokinin (42 µM 2iP) and auxin (0.67 µM NAA). In contrast, regeneration attempts of transformed Cp and Chybr roots lead neither to the production of chlorophyll nor to the regeneration of shoots. Agropine A. rhizogenes strains integrate split T-DNA in TL- and TR-DNA fragments into the plant genome. In this study, regenerated plants of Cg did not contain TR-DNA, indicating that a selective pressure against this T-DNA fragment may exist in Campanula.  相似文献

This research was undertaken to find an efficient tissue culture system and Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation method for recalcitrant indica rice cultivars. For this, mature seeds of commercially important indica rice varieties, ASD16, ADT43, IR 64, and Pusa Basmati were cultured on MS and N6 medium supplemented with 2 mg l-1 2, 4-D + 30 g l-1 sucrose. The calli grown in N6 medium showed better friability and embryogenic response. Out of the four varieties tested, ASD16 and IR64 showed better callusing and embryogenic capacity as compared to ADT43 and Pusa Basmati. For genetic transformation studies, embryogenic calli of all the cultivars were co-cultivated with the Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA 4404 harboring the binary vector pCambia 1305.1 with GUS gene. GUS assay was performed for the putative transformed calli and its activity was found to be qualitatively higher in ASD16 and IR64 than the other two varieties. The best responsive ASD16 transformed calli was regenerated and the putative transgenic lines were regenerated. ASD16 transformed calli were confirmed by GUS assay. PCR analysis confirmed the presence of both GUS and HPT genes in ASD16 transgenic lines.  相似文献

Soil and root samples were collected from major tomato growing areas of Ethiopia during the 2012/2013 growing season to identify root-knot nematode problems. DNA-based and isozyme techniques revealed that Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica were the predominant Meloidogyne species across the sampled areas. The aggressiveness of different populations of these species was assessed on tomato cultivars Marmande and Moneymaker. The two most aggressive populations of each species were selected and further tested on 33 tomato genotypes. The resistance screening and mechanism of resistance was performed after inoculation with 100 freshly hatched (<24 h) second-stage juveniles (J2). Eight weeks after inoculation the number of egg masses produced on each cultivar was assessed. For the resistance mechanism study, J2 penetration and their subsequent development inside the tomato roots were examined at 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks after inoculation. On both cultivars Marmande and Moneymaker all M. incognita and M. javanica populations formed a high number of egg masses indicating highly aggressive behaviour. Populations from ‘Jittu’ and ‘Babile’ for M. incognita and ‘Jittu’ and ‘Koka’ for M. javanica were selected as most aggressive. None of the 33 tomato genotypes were immune for these M. incognita and M. javanica populations. However, several tomato genotypes were found to have a significant effect on the number of egg masses produced indicating possible resistance. For M. javanica populations there were more plants from cultivars or breeding lines on which no egg masses were found compared to M. incognita populations. The lowest number of egg masses for both populations of M. incognita was produced on cultivars Bridget40, Galilea, and Irma while for M. javanica it was on Assila, Eden, Galilea, Tisey, CLN-2366A, CLN-2366B and CLN-2366C. Tomato genotypes, time (weeks after inoculation) and their interaction were significant sources of variation for J2 penetration and their subsequent development inside the tomato roots. Differential penetration was found in breeding lines such as CLN-2366A, CLN-2366B and CLN-2366C, but many of the selected tomato genotypes resistance for the tested M. incognita and M. javanica populations were expressed by delayed nematode development. Therefore, developing a simple screening technique to be used by local farmers or extension workers is crucial to facilitate selection of a suitable cultivar.  相似文献

Regeneration has been achieved in blackgram (Vigna mungo) using thidiazuron (TDZ) in the culture medium. The explanted cotyledon with wounded embryonic axes produced the highest number (9.75–10.45) of healthy, elongated shoots when cultured on shoot bud regeneration medium (SRI) composed of 2 μM BAP, 2 μM KIN, 2 μM TDZ, and 0.5 μM NAA followed by multiple shoot regeneration (SRII) medium containing 2 μM BAP, 2 μM KIN, and multiple shoot elongation (SE) medium (0.5 μM of BAP + 0.5 μM of KIN). The presence of TDZ in combination with BAP and NAA in the SRI medium for one sub-culture cycle (10–14 days) significantly increases formation of multiple shoot buds per explant. Independent, healthy shoots obtained were selected for both in vitro rooting and grafting. Establishment of plantlets in the soil was highest (80–100%) in the case of in vitro rooted compared to grafted shoots (40%). The protocol appears to be competent to Agrobacterium-meditated transformation with ‘gus’ as a reporter gene. PCR analysis of the T0 and T1 progenies showed the presence and transmission of the transgene. We document here the regeneration and transformation of blackgram using cotyledons with wounded embryonic axes and the protocol appears to be suitable for genetic transformation of blackgram.  相似文献

Interspecific hybrids were developed between Trifolium alexandrinum cultivar Wardan × Trifolium vesiculosum and T. alexandrinum cultivar BL1 × T. vesiculosum through embryo rescue, as the crosses failed to set seed under natural conditions. Trifolium vesiculosum was used as a donor/male parent in this study as it is reported to possess tolerance to stem rot and high forage yield. Fertilization in crossed florets of the crosses was manifested from the recovery of swollen ovaries (< 7.80%) and confirmed from the presence of one degenerated ovule in most (> 93.00%) of the swollen ovaries. The hybrid embryos at various developmental stages (heart, torpedo and cotyledonary) were rescued at a frequency of 2.56% from Wardan × T. vesiculosum and 6.12% from BL1 × T. vesiculosum. Differentiation occurred only in the cotyledonary stage embryos, resulting in 17 putative interspecific hybrid plantlets. The assessment of plantlet hybridity through SSR markers (for the alleles inherited from the donor parent), micromorphological leaf traits (leaf texture and stomata) and morphological characters (plant height, leaflet length and width) confirmed production of two interspecific hybrids designated as AV1 and BV3 representing both the crosses. AV1 displayed moderate resistance and BV3 was resistant to stem rot.  相似文献

Potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) is causing serious loss in yield and quality of potatoes. In the present study, the effect of seven antiviral chemicals viz. Acyclovir, 5-Azacytidine, Cytarabine, 5-Bromouracil, Ribavirin, 2-Thiouracil and Zidovudine on regeneration response and production of PLRV-free plants under in vitro conditions is reported. MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg L?1 GA3, 0.1 mg L?1 NAA and 500 mg L?1 malt extract was used for regeneration of plantlets from nodal explants. DAS-ELISA and RT-PCR was used for virus indexing of the mother plant and in vitro-regenerated plantlets. Explants of PLRV positive potato plants were cultured on this medium containing different concentrations (5 – 30 mg L?1) of antiviral chemicals. Shoot regeneration response varied between tested antiviral chemicals and was decreased with increase in concentration of antiviral chemicals from 5 to 30 mg L?1. Antiviral chemicals at 30 mg L?1 concentration showed strong inhibitory effect on regeneration response of shoots. In vitro regenerated plantlets tested negative in both ELISA and RT-PCR were only considered as virus free. When regeneration response and number of virus-free plants produced was compared, 2- thiouracil and ribavirin (25 mg L?1) were found to be effective. 2- thiouracil (25 mg L?1) gave 38.68% PLRV free plants with 30.55% cultures showing shoot regeneration and ribavirin (25 mg L?1) gave 39.62% PLRV-free plants with 36.80% cultures showing shoot regeneration. Regeneration response of explants was better on 5-Bromouracil at 30 mg L?1 concentrations but it was found least effective in production of PLRV-free potato plants.  相似文献

A rapid and efficient method of in vitro plant regeneration for large scale propagation of male sterile plants of niger (Guizotia abyssinica) was developed. Leaf segments from mature plants were cultured on Murashige & Skoog's basal medium (MS) supplemented with N6-benzyladenine (BA) and kinetin individually and in combination with low concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA); and -Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Prolific direct adventitious shoot regeneration occurred on most of the media tested. The best response in terms of frequency of shoot regeneration and the number of shoots per leaf explant was observed on medium supplemented with 2.22 M BA. Transfer of shoot bud clusters to fresh medium with same composition promoted further multiplication of the shoot buds, while medium with reduced BA concentration (0.89 M) facilitated shoot elongation. Shoots that were rooted on half-strength MS medium gelled with 0.2 or 0.4% agar and supplemented with 4.9 M IBA survived with a frequency of 61.36% on transfer to ex vitrum conditions. Field evaluation of the regenerants revealed the genetic stability of the plantlets and are being used in breeding of experimental hybrids.  相似文献

Forsythia suspensa and F. ‘Courtaneur’ were used as female parents to cross with Abeliophyllum distichum in 2011 and an intergeneric hybrid of F. suspensa × A. distichum was obtained, though with very low seed set. The morphological characteristics, flower fragrance and volatile organic compounds of flowers were analysed. The intergeneric hybrid had intermediate morphological characteristics of both parents and flower fragrance and was confirmed as a true intergeneric hybrid by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Compared with its mother parent (F. suspensa), flowers of the intergeneric hybrid are pale yellow with delicate fragrance. Volatile organic compounds of flowers were retrieved by purge-and-trap techniques, and determined by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The main volatile organic components of F. suspensa were isoprenoids, while the main volatile organic components of A. distichum and the hybrid of F. suspensa × A. distichum were aliphatics. To determine the time and the site of intergeneric hybridizing barriers occured, the pollen tubes’ behavior after pollination was observed under fluorescence microscopy. It was found that significant pre-fertilization incompatibility existed in intergeneric crossing combinations [F. ‘Courtaneur’ (Pin) × A. distichum (Thrum) and F. suspensa (Pin) × A. distichum (Thrum)], and only a few pollen tubes of A. distichum penetrated into the ovaries of Forsythia. In our research, an intergeneric hybrid between Forsythia and Abeliophyllum was obtained for the first time, which will provide a solid foundation for expanding the flower color range of Forsythia and breeding fragrant-flowered cultivars.  相似文献

Integration of alleles for bacterial canker resistance into new sweet cherry cultivars requires information on the sources of resistance in the germplasm. Five market-leading sweet cherry cultivars, ‘Rainier’, ‘Sweetheart’, ‘Bing’, ‘Regina’ and ‘Chelan’, advanced selections ‘AA’, ‘BB’, ‘CC’, ‘DD’, ‘EE’, ‘GG’, and ‘PMR-1’ used as breeding parents in the Washington State University’s Sweet Cherry Breeding Program were evaluated. Comparative genotypic disease severity was obtained with three methods of inoculation (leaf wounding with carborundum, cut wounds in leaf mid-rib and shoot tip) on whole plants. Additionally, genotypic data on susceptibility of detached leaves versus fruit and an assessment of the movement of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss) population in inoculated shoots were obtained. Genotype susceptibility was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) influenced by inoculation method, with shoot inoculation providing the best separation of resistance levels among genotypes. A low correlation (r = 0.26, P = 0.21) was observed between disease responses measured on detached leaf versus fruit, while a moderately high correlation (r = 0.50, P = 0.10) was found among bacterial populations in the tissues and in the degree of symptoms expressed. By all comparative methods, the advanced selections, as well as, ‘PMR-1’, were less susceptible than the market-leading cultivars. Also, movement of Pss from shoot tip inoculation points to the shoot base was not detected for advanced selections ‘AA’, ‘BB’, ‘DD’, and ‘EE’. This study reveals that the advanced selections could be potential sources of resistance alleles to bacterial canker. This is the first evaluation of the advanced selections for bacterial canker disease.  相似文献

The genus Psidium includes important fruit crops. However, there are very few studies focusing on its reproductive biology, which limits the establishment of breeding programs. The present work investigated the reproductive biology of Psidium guajava and Psidium cattleianum in terms of compatibility of crossings between these two species aiming at interspecific hybridization because the latter species is an important source of resistance against the nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii. Several types of crosses were performed to understand the reproductive biology of these species, including the compatibility of intra- and interspecific crossings, using assisted in vivo germination of pollen grains on the stigma. In addition, the in vitro germination of both Psidium species was studied at different stages of fruit development to rescue young seeds to improve the chances of obtaining the hybrids. No fruits of 270 pollinations were obtained on guava buds at the pre-anthesis stage, regardless of the source of the pollen grain and the cultivar used as female genotype. Microscopic analyzes demonstrated the germination of pollen grains and pollen tube growth at crosses between guava cv. ‘Pedro Sato’ (P. guajava) and Psidium cattleianum. High germination percentages of Psidium cattleianum seeds were obtained in MS medium without sucrose or containing 15 g/L of this carbohydrate.  相似文献

Multiple shoots were efficiently regenerated from cotyledonary node and shoot tip explants of Pisum sativum within 15 days on MS medium containing B5 vitamins and supplelmented with 2.0 mgl-1 6-benzylaminopurine. The elongated shoots produced on the same medium were excised and transferred to MS medium containing half strength ammonium nitrate (8.25 gml-1) and supplemented with auxins (indole-3-butyric acid or naphthalene acetic acid) either alone or in combinations with gibberellic acid. Rooting and flowering were observed on the 7th and 15th day after their transfer to rooting medium. The flowers self-fertilised in vitro and produced mature pods within 25 days of rooting. These seeds were germinable both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro seeds sown in pots under field conditions developed into flowering plants, and subsequently produced pods with viable seeds. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献
