We have previously reported that expression of salt-responsive genes, including Bruguiera gymnorhiza ankyrin repeat protein 1 (BgARP1), enhances salt tolerance in both Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Arabidopsis. In this report, we further characterized BgARP1-expressing Arabidopsis to elucidate the role of BgARP1 in salt tolerance. BgARP1-expressing plants exhibited more vigorous growth than wild-type plants on MS plates containing 125–175 mM NaCl. Real-time PCR analysis showed enhanced induction of osmotin34 in the 2-week-old transformants under 125 mM NaCl. It was also showed that induction of typical salt-responsive genes, including RD29A, RD29B, and RD22, was blunted and delayed in the 4-week-old transformants during 24 h after 200 mM NaCl treatment. Ion content analysis showed that transgenic plants contained more K+, Ca2+, and NO3 −, and less NH4 +, than wild-type plants grown in 200 mM NaCl. Our results suggest that BgARP1-expressing plants may reduce salt stress by up-regulating osmotin34 gene expression and maintaining K+ homeostasis and regulating Ca2+ content. These results indicate that BgARP1 is functional on a heterogeneous background.  相似文献

Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation was performed using embryonic axes explants of pigeon pea. Both legume pod borer resistant gene (cry1Ac) and plant selectable marker neomycine phosphor transferase (nptII) genes under the constitutive expression of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter (CaMV35S) assembled in pPZP211 binary vector were used for the experiments. An optimum average of 44.61% successfully hardened dot blot Southern hybridization positive plants were obtained on co-cultivation media supplemented with 200 μM acetosyringone without L-cysteine. The increased transformation efficiency from a baseline of 11.53% without acetosyringone to 44.61% with acetosyringone was further declined with the addition of different concentrations of L-cysteine to co-cultivation media. Transgenic shoots were selected on 50 and 75 mg L−1 kanamycin. Rooting efficiency was 100% on half-strength Murashige and Skoog medium with 20 g L−1 sucrose and 0.5 mg L−1 indole butyric acid in the absence of kanamycin. Furthermore, 100% seed setting was found among all the transgenic events. The plants obtained were subjected to multi- and nochoice tests to determine the behavioral responses and mortality through Helicoverpa armigera bioassays on the leaf and relate their relationship with the expression of cry1Ac protein which was found to be less in leaf as compared to the floral buds, anther, pod, and seed.  相似文献

The presence of high levels of sinigrin in the seeds represents a serious constraint for the commercial utilisation of Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun) meal. The objective of this research was the introgression of genes for low glucosinolate content from B. juncea into B. carinata. BC1F1 seed from crosses between double zero B. juncea line Heera and B. carinata line N2-142 was produced. Simultaneous selection for B. carinata phenotype and low glucosinolate content was conducted from BC1F2 to BC1F4 plant generations. Forty-three BC1F4 derived lines were selected and subject to a detailed phenotypic and molecular evaluation to identify lines with low glucosinolate content and genetic proximity to B. carinata. Sixteen phenotypic traits and 80 SSR markers were used. Eight BC1F4 derived lines were very close to N2-142 both at the phenotypic and molecular level. Three of them, with average glucosinolate contents from 52 to 61 micromoles g−1, compared to 35 micromoles g−1 for Heera and 86 micromoles g−1 for N2-142, were selected and evaluated in two additional environments, resulting in average glucosinolate contents from 43 to 56 micromoles g−1, compared to 29 micromoles g−1 for Heera and 84 micromoles g−1 for N2-142. The best line (BCH-1773), with a glucosinolate profile made up of sinigrin (>95%) and a chromosome number of 2n = 34, was further evaluated in two environments (field and pots in open-air conditions). Average glucosinolate contents over the four environments included in this research were 42, 31 and 74 micromoles g−1 for BCH-1773, Heera and N2-142, respectively. These are the lowest stable levels of glucosinolates reported so far in B. carinata.  相似文献

Submergence is a major stress causing yield losses particularly in the direct-seeded rice cultivation system and necessitates the development of a simple, rapid and reliable bioassay for a large scale screening of rice germplasms with tolerance against submergence stress. We developed two new bioassay methods that were based primarily on the seedling vigor evaluated by the ability of fast shoot elongation under submerged conditions, and compared their effectiveness with two other available methods. All four bioassay methods using cultivars of 7 indica and 6 japonica types revealed significant and consistent cultivar differences in seedling vigor under submergence and/or submergence tolerance. Japonica cultivars were more vigorous than indica cultivars, with Nipponbare being the most vigorous. The simplest test tube method showed the highest correlations to all other methods. Our results suggest that seedling vigor serves as a submergence avoidance mechanism and confers tolerance on rice seedlings to flooding during early crop establishment. A possible relationship is discussed between seedling vigor based on fast shoot elongation and submergence tolerance defined by recovery from submergence stress.  相似文献

Acorus calamus is an important medicinal plant which has been used in Indian traditional medicine since time immemorial. Various bioactive molecules, viz., acorin, α- and β-asarone, asaryldehyde, caryophylene, isoasarone, methylisoeugenol, and safrol have been isolated from this plant. However, the use of this plant for medicinal purpose has been recently banned due to the high toxic property of β-asarone. The triploid Acorus calamus is reported to be low in β-asarone content and thus found to be the ideal raw material for medicinal use. The present investigation represents our finding for successful in vitro clonal propagation of the elite triploid accessions of Acorus calamus for mass propagation. In the dual-phase culture system consisting of agar-solidified Murashige and Skoog medium overlaid by liquid fraction of the same medium, maximum multiple shoot induction was favored by supplementation of α-naphthaleneacetic acid (0.5 mg L−1) and 6-benzylaminopurine (2.0 mg L−1). In vitro rooting of the microshoots was maximum in the medium supplemented with indolebutyric acid at 2.0 mg L−1. The well-rooted microshoots could be successfully hardened and transplanted in the field. This result can be reproduced and is a viable protocol for successful clonal propagation of the seedless triploid Acorus calamus for conservation and sustainable development.  相似文献

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is the most important cereal in crop-livestock production systems in arid and drier semi-arid environments valued for its grain and dry stover. The conventional approach of improving grain yield through greater partitioning of biomass to the grain and decreased stover yield is not a viable strategy for arid regions where biomass also needs to be improved. The current research tested the hypothesis whether biomass can be improved without extending the crop duration. The 232 F5 lines derived from a cross (J28 × RIB 335/18) were evaluated in their testcross form along with three commercial hybrids under arid zone conditions. Biomass, grain and stover yields, panicle number, grain size and grain number panicle−1 varied 1.8 to 2.7 fold in progeny testcrosses. Variation in duration of flowering time accounted for only 2% of variation in biomass, indicating that considerable scope existed for selection of testcrosses, and by implication, of F5 progenies with high biomass independent of crop duration. Stover yield accounted for 72% of differences in total biomass with remaining accounted for by grain yield. From among 92 and 132 testcrosses that had flowering time comparable to two early checks, most had significantly higher biomass, grain and stover yields than these early checks but none of the testcrosses had earliness on par with extra-early maturing hybrid HHB 67. Mean superiority of best 5% testcrosses over early checks was 58% for biomass, 68% for stover yield and 53% for grain yield. The results indicated that there are good prospects of improving biomass in arid zone pearl millet without significantly compromising crop duration.  相似文献

This paper describes the relative efficiency of three marker systems, RAPD, ISSR, and AFLP, in terms of fingerprinting 14 rice genotypes consisting of seven temperatejaponica rice cultivars, three indica near-isogenic lines, three indica introgression lines, and one breeding line of japonica type adapted to high-altitude areas of the tropics with cold tolerance genes. Fourteen RAPD, 21 ISSR, and 8 AFLP primers could produce 970 loci, with the highest average number of loci (92.5) generated by AFLP. Although polymorphic bands in the genotypes were detected by all marker assays, the AFLP assay discriminated the genotypes effectively with a robust discriminating power (0.99), followed by ISSR (0.76) and RAPD (0.61). While significant polymorphism was detected among the genotypes of japonica and indica through analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), relatively low polymorphism was detected within the genotypes of japonica rice cultivars. The correlation coefficients of similarity were significant for the three marker systems used, but only the AFLP assay effectively differentiated all tested rice lines. Fingerprinting of backcross-derived resistant progenies using ISSR and AFLP markers easily detected progenies having a maximum rate of recovery for the recurrent parent genome and suggested that our fingerprinting approach adopting the ‘undefined-element-amplifying’ DNA marker system is suitable for incorporating useful alleles from the indica donor genome into the genome of temperate japonica rice cultivars with the least impact of deleterious linkage drag.  相似文献

Miscanthus is a perennial rhizomatous grass with C4 photosynthesis and native to East Asia. This grass has been considered as a weed in East Asia, and never been considered as a bioenergy crop until the end of the 20th century. Meanwhile, it has been studied as a potential bioenergy crop in Europe since the 1980s. Soaring energy consumption and heavy dependency of its energy production on imported petroleum have led to initiate finding alternative energy in East Asia. Miscanthus has high water and nutrient-use efficiency, and cold tolerance, high biomass yield potential up to 40 t DM ha−1 with long sustainable productivity up to more than 15 years after the first establishment, and high carbon sequestration capacity. In this regard, Miscanthus is one of the most ideal bioenergy crops in East Asia; potential areas where sufficient size of land is available include Mongolia, the far eastern part of Russia such as Primorski-Krai, Amur Oblast, and Khabarovsk-Krai, and northern parts of China such as Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Neimenggu. Although low temperature and rainfall may be limiting factors, it is expected that Miscanthus can be cultivated for commercial biomass production in this region, particularly Primorski-Krai. To facilitate Miscanthus biomass production and its commercial use for biofuel production in East Asia, it is necessary to introduce a new Miscanthus variety with cold and drought tolerance, and to develop a Miscanthus plantation technology and production management system.  相似文献

Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated in planta transformation protocol was developed for castor, Ricinus communis. Two-day-old seedlings were infected with Agrobacterium strain EHA105/pBinBt8 harboring cry1AcF and established in the greenhouse. Screening the T1 generation seedlings on 300 mg L−1 kanamycin identified the putative transformants. Molecular and expression analysis confirmed the transgenic nature and identified high-expressing plants. Western blot analysis confirmed the co-integration of the nptII gene in the selected transgenic plants. Bioassay against Spodoptera litura corroborated with high expression and identified five promising effective lines. Analysis of the T2 generation plants proved the stability of the transgene indicating the feasibility of the method.  相似文献

Cytoplasmic-nuclear male-sterility is an important biological tool, which has been used by plant breeders to increase yields in cross-pollinated cereals and vegetables by commercial exploitation of the phenomenon of hybrid vigor. In legumes, no such example exists due to the absence of an economic way of mass pollen transfer from male to female parent. Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.], however, is a different legume where a moderate level of insect-aided natural out-crossing (25–70%) exists and it can be used to produce commercial hybrid cultivars, if an efficient and stable cytoplasmic-nuclear male-sterility (CMS) system is available. This paper reports the development of a stable CMS system (ICP 2039A), derived from an inter-specific hybrid of Cajanus cajanifolius, a wild relative of pigeonpea, with a cultivar ICP 11501. Using this genetic material, designated as the A4 cytoplasm, a number of fertility restorers and maintainers have been developed. The best short-duration experimental pigeonpea hybrid ICPH 2470 produced 3205 kg ha−1 grain yield in 125 days, exhibiting 77.5% advantage over the control cultivar UPAS 120. At present, all the important biological systems necessary for a successful commercial hybrid breeding program are available in pigeonpea and the package of this technology has been adopted by private seed sector in India for the production and marketing of hybrid varieties.  相似文献

Jethobudho is an aromatic rice landrace of the Pokhara valley in middle hills of Nepal. Although local consumers are willing to pay a high price for its purchase, the landrace has a problem with quality variation. Decentralized participatory population improvement for specific market-identified traits was conducted on “Jethobudho” populations collected from farmers’ fields in seven geographic regions of the valley in Nepal. The preferred post harvest quality traits, field tolerance to blast and lodging, and superior post harvest quality traits of Jethobudho were established by a consumer market survey. These traits were used for screening the materials. 338 sub-populations of Jethobudho were evaluated for yield, disease, lodging resistance, and post harvest quality traits. Significant variation was found for culm strength, neck blast tolerance, awn characteristics, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, test grain weight and post harvest quality traits, whereas no significant variation was found in grain yield, plant height, tiller number, maturity period and leaf blast. Based on these identified traits and micro-milling evaluations, 183 populations were screened in on-farm and on-station nurseries, and in succeeding years populations were further screened by plant breeders and expert farmers in research trials, resulting in the selection of 46 populations for post harvest quality traits. Six accessions with similar agronomic traits, field tolerance to blast and lodging, and superior post harvest quality traits, were bulked and evaluated on-farm using participatory variety selection (PVS). The enhanced Jethobudho accessions were also evaluated for aroma using simple sequence repeat (SSR) and found to have unique aromatic genetic constitution. Community based seed production groups were formed, linked to the Nepal District Self Seed Sufficiency Programme (DISSPRO), and trained to produce basic seeds (truthfully labeled) of Jethobudho. The National Seed Board of Nepal released the enhanced landrace in the name of “Pokhareli Jethobudho” in 2006, as the first bulk variety of traditional high quality aromatic rice improved through participatory plant breeding to be formally released in Nepal for general cultivation under the national seed certification scheme. Landrace improvement is shown as an important option for supporting programmes for in situ conservation of landraces on-farm.  相似文献

The rice leaffolder (RLF), Cnaphalocrocis medinalis is an important pest of rice that causes severe damage in many areas of the world. The plants were transformed with fully modified (plant codon optimized) synthetic Cry1C coding sequences as well as with the hpt and gus genes, coding for hygromycin phosphotransferase and β-glucuronidase, respectively. Cry1C sequences placed under the control of doubled 35S promoter plus the AMV leader sequence, and hpt and gus genes driven by cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, were used in this study. Embryogenic calli after cocultivation with Agrobacterium were selected on the medium containing hygromycin B. A total of 67 hygromycin-resistant plants were regenerated. PCR and Southern blot analyses of primary transformants revealed the stable integration of Cry1C coding sequences into the rice genome with predominant single copy integration. R1 progeny plants disclosed a monogenic pattern (3:1) of transgene segregation as confirmed by molecular analyses. These transgenic lines were highly resistant to rice leaffolder (RLF), Cnaphalocrocis medinalis as revealed by insect bioassay.  相似文献

A protocol was developed for an efficient Agrobactertium-mediated transformation of black pepper plants through somatic embryogenesis. Embryogenic mass derived from primary somatic embryos that were obtained from the micropylar region of mature germinating seeds of black pepper was found to be the ideal target tissue for transformation. Genetic fidelity test of embryogenic mass-derived plantlets by RAPD using 23 random primers revealed no genetic variation among the progenies and the parent plant. Among the antibiotics used for selection of transformants, cefotaxime at 100 μg mL−1 was found to be optimum to control Agrobacterium besides its ability to promote somatic embryo proliferation. In the case of kanamycin, a step-wise increase in concentration from 25 to 50 and then to 100 μg mL−1 were found to be optimum. Embryogenic mass co-cultivated with Agrobacterium carrying the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene were cultured on plant growth regulator-free Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) medium and transformants were selected in selection medium containing cefotaxime and step-wise increase in kanamycin concentration. The transient GUS gene expression was determined histochemically. Transformants that survived in the selection medium were hardened in the greenhouse. An average of nine hardened putative plantlets was obtained per gram of embryogenic mass. The presence of transgene in these plantlets was assayed by PCR, dot blot, and Southern blot hybridization. Results presented demonstrated for the first time an efficient transformation and regeneration of black pepper without the use of growth regulators. This simple efficient procedure would allow transformation of black pepper with genes of desirable characters.  相似文献

Near isogenic lines (NILs) varying for reduced height (Rht) and photoperiod insensitivity (Ppd-D1) alleles in a cv. Mercia background (rht (tall), Rht-B1b, Rht-D1b, Rht-B1c, Rht8c+Ppd-D1a, Rht-D1c, Rht12) were compared for interception of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), radiation use efficiency (RUE), above-ground biomass (AGB), harvest index (HI), height, weed prevalence, lodging and grain yield, at one field site but within contrasting (‘organic’ vs. ‘conventional’) rotational and agronomic contexts, in each of 3 years. In the final year, further NILs (rht (tall), Rht-B1b, Rht-D1b, Rht-B1c, Rht-B1b+Rht-D1b, Rht-D1b+Rht-B1c) in Maris Huntsman and Maris Widgeon backgrounds were added together with 64 lines of a doubled haploid (DH) population [Savannah (Rht-D1b) × Renesansa (Rht-8c+Ppd-D1a)]. There were highly significant genotype × system interactions for grain yield, mostly because differences were greater in the conventional system than in the organic system. Quadratic fits of NIL grain yield against height were appropriate for both systems when all NILs and years were included. Extreme dwarfing was associated with reduced PAR, RUE, AGB, HI, and increased weed prevalence. Intermediate dwarfing was often associated with improved HI in the conventional system, but not in the organic system. Heights in excess of the optimum for yield were associated particularly with reduced HI and, in the conventional system, lodging. There was no statistical evidence that optimum height for grain yield varied with system although fits peaked at 85 and 96 cm in the conventional and organic systems, respectively. Amongst the DH lines, the marker for Ppd-D1a was associated with earlier flowering, and just in the conventional system also with reduced PAR, AGB and grain yield. The marker for Rht-D1b was associated with reduced height, and again just in the conventional system, with increased HI and grain yield. The marker for Rht8c reduced height, and in the conventional system only, increased HI. When using the System × DH line means as observations grain yield was associated with height and early vegetative growth in the organic system, but not in the conventional system. In the conventional system, PAR interception after anthesis correlated with yield. Savannah was the highest yielding line in the conventional system, producing significantly more grain than several lines that out yielded it in the organic system.  相似文献

Three CMS lines, Ogu1A, Ogu2A and Ogu3A were selected among ten lines after BC7 based on superior commercial, floral and seed setting traits. Introgression of sterile Ogura cytoplasm in cauliflower nuclear background reduced the flower size but did not affect commercial and seed setting traits drastically. Line × Tester analysis was done by taking these three CMS lines free from floral deformities as female parent with nine diverse lines of snowball cauliflower as tester. The parent Ogu2A exhibited highest GCA effect for curd yield (4.51) and harvest index (1.97) while Ogu1A exhibited highest GCA for earliness (−2.73). The parent, Ogu2A exhibited significant GCA for curd length (0.39) while, none of the CMS lines showed significant GCA for curd diameter and depth. Heterosis for curd yield was highest in the hybrid, Ogu2A × Kt-22 (63.5%) followed by Ogu1A × WF (36.9%) and Ogu1A × Kt-15 was the best hybrid for earliness followed by Ogu3A × Kt-22 with heterosis of −14.4% and −11.7%. However, the number of heterotic hybrids for yield and earliness was low indicating narrow genetic base of the snowball cauliflower.  相似文献

Fine mapping of a quantitative trait locus, qFLL6.2, controlling flag leaf length (FLL) and yield traits in rice was conducted using four sets of near isogenic lines (NILs) that were developed from a common residual heterozygote at F7 generation of the indica rice cross Zhenshan 97/Milyang 46. Each of the NIL sets consisted of 40 lines that are S1 progenies of ten maternal homozygotes, ten paternal homozygotes, and 20 heterozygotes differing in a portion of the 1.19-Mb interval RM3414–RM6917 on the short arm of rice chromosome 6. Analysis of phenotypic differences among the three genotypic groups in each NIL set delimited qFLL6.2 to a 62.1-kb region flanked by simple sequence repeat marker RM3414 and sequence-tagged site marker Si2944. This QTL explained 52.73% of the phenotypic variance, and the Zhenshan 97 allele increased FLL by 2.40 cm. Based on data collected from homozygous lines of three of the NIL sets, qFLL6.2 was shown to have major effects on all the three yield traits analyzed, including the number of spikelets per panicle, the number of filled grains per panicle, and grain weight per panicle. A comparison of the different groups revealed that the effect of qFLL6.2 was highly consistent across different genetic backgrounds and environments, providing a good candidate for map-based cloning and investigating the source–sink relationship in rice.  相似文献

The rice FRIZZY PANICLE (FZP) locus on chromosome 7, in which an ERF and acidic domain are present, is concerned with the regulation of spikelet meristem identity and the determination of panicle architecture. Many fzp mutants drastically alter panicle morphology with higher-order rachis-branches developing successively instead of the development of floral organs in these mutants. A new mutant showing the same fzp phenotype was induced by γ-ray irradiation of seeds of a rice cultivar “Gimbozu”. Examination of this fzp-like mutant for its allelism to a known allele of fzp-1, nucleotide sequence, and panicle and agronomic characteristics clearly indicated that the allele of this fzp-like mutant is located in FZP. Because there is a previously identified allele called fzp-9, we designated this new allele as fzp-10. fzp-10 has a single nucleotide (cytosine) deletion between the ERF domain and the acidic domain, which results in a frameshift mutation and a premature stop codon, thereby altering the C-terminus of the encoded protein. The degree of higher-order branching in the panicles was significantly reduced in the fzp-10 mutant compared with that of fzp-1. Moreover, the fzp-10 mutant showed highly depressed culm and panicle lengths and panicle number, as well as delayed heading dates compared with its wild type and also with fzp-1. fzp-10 has several new characteristics, its altered nucleotide position and severity of phenotype alteration, and, therefore, could be a new gene resource to examine the function of FZP and the determination of rice panicle architecture.  相似文献

An in vitro propagation method for female plants of Momordica dioica (Roxb.) has been established. The nodal segments were harvested and the cut ends of the explants were sealed with wax and then surface sterilized and cultured. Bud breaking occurred on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) agar-gelled medium + 2.0 mg L−1 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) + 0.1 mg L−1 Indole-3 acetic acid (IAA). The cultures were amplified by passages on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg L−1 BAP + 0.1 mg L−1 IAA. Further, shoot amplification (29.2 shoots per vessel) was achieved by subculturing of in vitro regenerated shoot clump on MS medium + 0.5 mg L−1 BAP + 0.1 mg L−1 IAA. The micropropagated shoots were subsequently transferred for root formation on half-strength MS medium + 2.0 mg L−1 Indole-3 butyric acid (IBA) with 89% success rate. The in vitro-regenerated shoots were also rooted ex vitro with 34% success. These plantlets were hardened in the greenhouse and transferred to the field. The established protocol is suitable for true to type cloning of mature female plant of M. dioica.  相似文献

Interspecific hybridization was carried out between Lilium longiflorum and L. lophophorum var. linearifolium by using the cut style method of pollination, as a contrast, intraspecific hybridization between L. longiflorum ‘Gelria’ and L. longiflorum was also made, but no mature seeds and offspring were obtained from the two combinations under in vivo condition. Ovules excised from each carpel 5–35 days after pollination (DAP) were cultured on B5 or half-strength B5 medium containing sucrose at different concentrations in vitro. In L. longiflorum × L. lophophorum var. linearifolium, only 1.17% of ovules excised at 10 DAP developed into seedlings, and in L. longiflorum ‘Gelria’ × L. longiflorum, only 0.99% of ovules excised at 25 DAP developed into seedlings; none of the ovules excised at other different DAP in the two cross combinations produced any seedlings. The results showed that interspecific hybridization had a more serious post-fertilization barrier than the intraspecific hybridization, and that a lower concentration (3%) of sucrose led to better embryo development and higher percentage of seedlings in ovule cultures. All hybrid seedlings obtained were successfully transplanted to soil and grew normally. The progenies investigated were identified as true hybrids based on inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis.  相似文献

The data presented herein reports a rapid and efficient method for direct plant regeneration at high frequency without intervening callus formation from shoot tip (93%) and nodal segment (60%) cultured on MS media supplemented with 0.5 mg l−1 KIN, 0.25 mg l−1 BAP, 0.1 mg l−1 IAA and 100 mg l−1 CH. Conversely, leaf and internodal explants were poorly responsive. Adventitious shoot buds arose not only from the cut ends but all along the surface of the explants leading to the formation of clusters with multiple shoots. Multiple shoots upon transfer to MS media supplemented with 2.0 mg l−1 IBA induced efficient rooting (80%). In vitro flowering was observed when tissue culture-raised plantlets were maintained for extended period in culture. Shikonin was induced in roots of regenerated plants which often exudates in the culture medium was quantified spectrophotometerically by recording absorbance at 620 nm and estimated to be 0.50 mg g−1 fresh weight of tissue at the end of the 50 days of culture. The regenerated plants were successfully acclimatized, hardened, and transferred to soil in green house for micropropagation. The protocol developed here will be very useful for the supply of Arnebia hispidissima all year as a raw product necessary for obtaining Shikonin for the cosmetic, dyeing, food, and pharmaceutical industries.  相似文献
