The aim of this work was to study the effect of solid medium, developmental stage, embryonic age, cold treatment and additives to the medium on plant regeneration from microspore-derived embryos in four F1 hybrids of ornamental kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala). The results showed that all of the cultivars responded best when the embryos were cultured in solidified B5 medium with 1% agar. Optimal regeneration was gained when cotyledonary embryos were cultured for 25 days. Cold treatment significantly improved plant regeneration with a frequency of up to 79.0% under 4 °C for 2 d or 5 d. The addition of 3.0 or 5.0 mg/L silver nitrate (AgNO3) increased the frequency of plant regeneration. In the Zhouyehongxin cultivar, the frequency of plantlet development reached 84.4%. The addition of activated charcoal reduced embryo hyperhydricity. 相似文献

The genus Ptilotus has immense potential for ornamental horticulture but its commercial development has been hindered by propagation limitations. Poor seed quality and germination are reported. Cutting propagation is limited by cutting supply as the juvenile phase of Ptilotus is short. Micropropagation has been used in an attempt to overcome these difficulties but explants become floral in vitro and this causes plantlets to elongate. Ethephon has been used to control flowering of stock plants of many ornamental species. This study investigated the effect of ethephon applied to young (3-week-old, deflasked from tissue culture) and mature (1-year-old) Ptilotus plants in a greenhouse. A system of applying gaseous ethylene at 0, 100, 200 and 300 mg l−1 to the headspace of in vitro plantlets in glass jars was developed and the response of in vitro plantlets to ethylene studied. One-year-old Ptilotus plants were treated with 500 mg l−1 ethephon 2 days before pruning or 1 or 2 weeks after pruning. Ethephon application 2 days before pruning decreased the number of inflorescences and increased the number of shoots (compared to the control) but was phytotoxic. Ethephon applications of 150 or 300 mg l−1 applied weekly or fortnightly to 3-week-old plants deflasked from tissue culture reduced plant height and number of inflorescences and at low concentrations increased the number of new shoots. A fortnightly application at 150 mg l−1 is recommended. Previous reports on the effects of ethylene on inflorescence production on plantlets in vitro are limited. Our study showed that exposure of in vitro plantlets of P. nobilis to ethylene gas at 100 mg l−1 for 1 h significantly increased the number of shoots and plant height but this did not occur for plantlets of P. spicatus. Plantlets of P. spicatus exposed to transient ethylene at 200 and 300 mg l−1 showed significantly greater rooting (52.4%) than the control (13.6%). 相似文献

Adventitious root formation in excised plant shoots is a crucial process in the vegetative propagation of many plant species, and insufficient rooting causes substantial losses in the propagation industry. Based on the various physiological effects on whole plants described for the basidiomycete Piriformospora indica, it was hypothesized that inoculation of the substrate with this endophyte should promote the generation and growth of adventitious roots in cuttings. Inoculation experiments were conducted to study the effects of P. indica on adventitious rooting in three plant species. Inoculation with P. indica dramatically enhanced the number and length of the adventitious roots in pelargonium and poinsettia. Root colonization parameters suggest that the interaction between the endophyte and cuttings had already occurred before physical contact. In contrast, petunia showed no rooting response to P. indica inoculation. Very fast root formation in this plant indicates that a minimum time period for the fungus–plant interaction is required for establishment of a promoting effect. P. indica-based biotechnology is proposed as a new tool for improving plant propagation systems of plant species or cultivars with low to moderate capacity of adventitious root formation. 相似文献

Field and pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of co-cultivation and crop rotation on the growth and corm rot disease of gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus sect. Blandus) cv. Aarti caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. gladioli (Massey) Snyd. and Hans. In the field experiment, gladiolus was co-cultivated with 10 agricultural/horticultural crops viz. Allium cepa L., Brassica campestris L., Capsicum annuum L., Eruca sativa Mill., Helianthus annuus L., Tagetes erectus L., Zea mays L., Vinca rosea L. and Rosa indica L., in a soil infested with F. oxysporum. All the crops except V. rosea and R. indica reduced disease incidence. The effect of H. annuus and T. erectus was significant and more pronounced than other co-cultivated crops. In general, root and shoot dry biomass, corm fresh weight, number of cormlets and number of flowers per spike decreased as compared to the un-inoculated monoculture gladiolus treatment (negative control) but these parameters enhanced as compared to the F. oxysporum inoculated monoculture gladiolus treatment (positive control). In a pot experiment, all the crops of the field experiment except V. rosea and R. indica were sown in rotation with gladiolus. Pot grown plants of different species were harvested at maturity and the soil was inoculated with F. oxysporum. Gladiolus was cultivated 1 week after inoculation. Disease incidence was significantly suppressed in all the treatments ranging from 29% to 53%. The highest suppression of disease incidence was recorded in T. erectus (53%) followed by B. campestris (49%). The effect of preceding crops on various vegetative parameters was similar in the pot experiment to that of the field experiment. The present study suggests that corm rot disease of gladiolus can be managed by mixed cropping of H. annuus and T. erectus or cultivation of T. erectus and B. campestris in rotation. 相似文献

Guilan is one of the main province olive oil producers in Iran. The culture of olive trees is of considerable importance. One problem that affects Iran olive orchards is a disease bacterial canker caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. In this research, the bacterium was recovered from sunken brown stem lesions on 2-year-old olive trees cv. Marie, during survey from olive orchards in different areas of Guilan province. Samples were taken from infected tissues and were washed with sterile distilled water and crushed in peptone water. Then 50 μl of the extract was cultured on NA and King's B medium containing cyclohexamid antibiotic (50 μg/ml). After 48–72 h, bacterial colonies were selected. Based on morphological, physiological, biochemical, pathogenicity properties and PCR methods with specific primers the predominant pathogenic type was identified as P. s. pv. syringae. This is the first report of the existence of P. s. pv. syringae on olive trees in Iran. 相似文献

The essential oils of aerial parts of Achillea gypsicola Hub.-Mor., Hypericum scabrum L., Satureja hortensis L., and Origanum acutidens (Hand.-Mazz.) Letswaart were analyzed in this study by GC and GC–MS and their oils were tested for toxicity against broadbean weevil (Bruchus dentipes). A. gypsicola oil contained camphor (40.17%), 1,8-cineole (22.01%), piperitone (11.29%), borneol (9.50%) and α-terpineol (1.56%) as major components. A total of 74 components were identified by GC–MS in H. scabrum oil, including α-pinene (9.26%), terpinen-4-ol (5.12%), camphor (5.94%), δ-cadinene (4.52%), pulegone (4.45%), γ-muurolene (4.12%), pinocarvone (3.97%) and β-caryophyllene (3.42%) as predominant components. The essential oils of O. acutidens and S. hortensis were characterized by high contents of carvacrol (86.99% and 55.74%), γ-terpinene (0.71% and 20.94%), p-cymene (1.95% and 12.30%), α-terpinene (0.13% and 2.04%) and β-caryophyllene (1.30% and 1.08%). All of the essential oils were toxic to adults of B. dentipes and insect mortality increased with increasing concentration of each oil. The oils (20 μl dose) brought about 100% mortality in 36 h. Although desirable insecticidal activities against the pest were achieved with the oils from all four plant species, S. hortensis and O. acutidens oils were more effective, particularly after 6 h of treatment. The current results concluded that the essential oils, in particular O. acutidens and S. hortensis oils, may be used as potential botanical insecticides against B. dentipes. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to produce interspecific hybrids between an Ogura-cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) line of zicaitai (Brassica campestris var. purupurea, 2n = 20) and cultivars of ornamental kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala, 2n = 18) to develop a CMS system for hybrid seed production. Pollination with pollen grains of ornamental kales irradiated at a power output of 9.0 mW with a He–Ne laser for 3 min could overcome the cross-incompatibility between the species concerned. Intact hybrids could be efficiently produced from ovules cultured on Murashige and Skoog media supplemented by 0.2 mg l−1 6-benzyladenine. Chromosome number of hybrids was confirmed to be 2n = 19. Hybrids resembled ornamental kales in leaf morphology and in vernalization response. Pollens of hybrids had a sterile appearance. Moreover the hybridity of the putative hybrids was confirmed by RAPD data on a DNA fragment of 820 bp. 相似文献

In vitro bud and shoot organogenesis was investigated for the ornamental plants Eucalyptus erythronema var. erythronema, E. stricklandii and their interspecific hybrids cv. ‘Urrbrae Gem’ and ‘Hybrid 2.5’ by using 0.0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0 μM BAP on apex and leaf explants. Callus developed on all explants and increased with all concentrations of BAP without significant differences between BAP concentrations. Buds formed on apex and leaf explants of E. erythronema and E. cv. ‘Urrbrae Gem’ especially with 1.0 μM BAP, but these buds rarely developed into shoots. Bud clusters formed on E. erythronema and E. cv. ‘Urrbrae Gem’ apex and leaf explants whereas E. stricklandii and ‘Hybrid 2.5’ produced fewer, individual buds on the explant. Shoots regenerated from apex explants of all genotypes with all levels of BAP, whereas few shoots of any genotype regenerated from leaf explants regardless of the number of buds formed. Shoots from apex explants could be multiplied successfully. Light microscopy showed meristems developed within the callus, and at the callus and bud surfaces. However, few shoots developed considering the level of bud and meristem formation. This report is the first for successful shoot organogenesis and multiplication in an ornamental eucalypt. 相似文献

For the first time, reciprocal intergeneric hybridizations were produced between Opisthopappus taihangensis and Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium without emasculation. About 20% seed set was similarly obtained from reciprocal hybridization. Only 5 and 6 of the viable plants observed from 45 and 78 seedling survived present some conspicuous intermediate characteristics. Phenotypic evaluation among the progenies of the parents and the putative hybrids was performed carefully since an average of 5.3% seed set was produced in the type of self-pollination using pollen from the same flower and >10% seed set was similarly obtained in the types of self-pollination using pollen from different flowers in a plant and flowers in individual plants from different seeds. One individual of each hybrid shared the inflorescence habit with the pollen plant was confirmed further by the sequence of ncpGS. The two hybrids might be used as bridges of breeding of multi-generic hybrids. 相似文献

Seed balls of ‘Early Wonder Tall Top’ table beet (Beta vulgaris L.) were incubated for 2 days at 21 °C in moist exfoliated grade 3 vermiculite (3 g seed balls [168 seed balls] and 1.1 g vermiculite) containing equal weights of Trichoderma harzianum Rifai strain KRL-AG2 G41 and T. virens strain G-41 (ThTv) at 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 or 1.00 mg ThTv per seed ball. ThTv also was applied to the peat-lite growth medium 14 days before planting, at the same rates per seed ball as the seed ball treatments. Four days before planting, the peat-lite was inoculated with Pythium aphanidermatum (Edson) Fitzp. (Pa) at 0, 0.5 and 1.0× the rate that resulted in 96% damping-off when non-ThTv-treated dry seed balls were sown in peat-lite containing 1.0 Pa. Increasing ThTv level per seed ball decreased percentage damping-off, with 1.0 Pa giving greater percentage damping-off than 0.5 Pa. At 1 mg ThTv per seed ball, damping-off was 5% and 19% at 0.5 and 1.0 Pa, respectively. Including Agro-Lig UF (mostly humic acids) in the incubating seed-ball-ThTv mixture further decreased damping-off by an average 13 and 10 percentage points in 0.5 and 1.0 Pa, respectively. Increasing ThTv per seed ball in growth media decreased percentage damping-off, but not to the extent achieved with seed ball treatment, with 1 mg ThTv per seed ball giving 20% and 55% damping-off in 0.5 and 1.0 Pa, respectively. Decreasing incidence of damping-off with increasing ThTv application to seed balls or growth media was associated with increasing shoot fresh weight m−2 at 14 days after planting, a response attributable to increased percentage plant survival and not to a ThTv growth-promoting effect. 相似文献

A suitable protocol for in vitro tuber production using non-dormant tubers of Gloriosa superba L. on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium without addition of plant growth regulators is reported in the present study. Among the different basal media tested MS medium was found to be suitable for induction and development of secondary tubers; one in vitro tuber per explant was obtained after 6 weeks and 3 tubers per explant after 12 weeks of culture. These tubers produced healthy green shoots that rooted on basal medium. Best rooting was noted in half strength (half organics and inorganics) MS medium with one-fifth nitrates. 相似文献

Production of inter-section hybrids between Primula filchnerae and P. sinensis through ovule culture
Inter-section hybrids were obtained in the reciprocal crosses between Primula filchnerae (2n = 2x = 24) of Sect. Pinnatae and P. sinensis ‘Fanfare’ (2n = 2x = 24) of Sect. Auganthus by rescuing ovules on half-strength (1/2) Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with 50 g l−1 sucrose, 2.5 g l−1 gellan gum, 0.1 mg l−1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 0.1 mg l−1 6-benzyladenine (BA) and 50 mg l−1 gibberellic acid (GA3). In ovule culture, germination occurred with radicle elongation but no plumule was observed. The radicle kept on the initial medium showed root proliferation with callus formation. When the calluses were transferred to (1/2)MS media containing 30 g l−1 sucrose and 3 g l−1 gellan gum, without plant growth regulators (PGRs) or with 1 mg l−1 zeatin and 0.1 mg l−1 NAA, plantlets were regenerated. The plants thus obtained were confirmed to be hybrids through flow cytometry (FCM) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analyses. The hybrid obtained when P. filchnerae was used as the maternal parent was diploid, whereas hexaploid hybrid was obtained when using P. sinensis as the maternal parent. The hexaploid hybrid might be produced through chromosome doubling of a triploid originated from the fertilization of P. sinensis with unreduced pollen of P. filchnerae. 相似文献

Catharanthus roseus L. (G.) Don. (Apocynaceae) is an important dicotyledonous medicinal plant as it is the sole source of vincristine and vinblastine that are used against a variety of cancers. Quantitative estimation of vincristine was carried out using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in various in vitro grown tissues; calluses (embryogenic and non-embryogenic callus), embryogenic stages (proliferated, matured and germinated embryos), somatic embryo derived plantlets (leaf, root and whole plant) and leaves of ex vitro developed plantlets. The yield in those in vitro and ex vitro-developed tissues was monitored for 30 weeks. Except at an early lag period, vincristine production was detected up to 20–25 weeks old plant samples. Vincristine content was very high in leaf callus and germinated embryos. Leaves of in vitro raised plants showed higher amount of vincristine when compared to ex vitro-developed leaves of similar age. Vincristine production was tissue specific and age dependent that was discussed in detail in this present communication. 相似文献

The effect of some pesticides (sodium arsenite, thiabendazole and ziram) and the natural phytoalexin (resveratrol) on mycelial growth of Phaeomoniella chlamydospora and Phaeoacremonium angustius was studied. Several strains of these species were grown on malt extract agar (MEA) plates containing different concentrations of inhibitory compounds and colony diameters were measured. While sodium arsenite and ziram had little effect on the growth of both species, thiabendazole inhibited colony growth, at minimum concentrations of 6 μM for Ph. chlamydospora and 15 μM for P. angustius. Resveratrol at concentrations equal to or grater than 867 μM also inhibited colony growth of both species. To assay the effect of these substances on plant response to infection, in vitro grapevines were inoculated with Ph. chlamydospora or P. angustius spores and were grown in the presence of sodium arsenite (0–30 μM), thiabendazole (0–30 μM) or resveratrol (0–876 μM). Infected untreated plants and sodium arsenite-treated plants developed symptoms of senescence (reduced growth, increased membrane lipid peroxidation, and decreased chlorophyll content and fluorescence). In contrast, infected plants treated with thiabendazole (30 μM) or with resveratrol (876 μM) showed similar characteristics of fresh weight, malondialdehyde accumulation and chlorophyll fluorescence to those of uninfected plants. These results are promising with respect to the use of thiabendazole-containing pesticides as alternatives to currently used pesticides for control of esca in vines. Results also suggest that the presence of resveratrol in grapevines may be useful to induce resistance to these fungi. 相似文献

Linaria maroccana Hook. f. Ann., ‘Lace Violet’, Lupinus hartwegii ssp. cruikshankii Lindl. ‘Sunrise’ and Papaver nudicaule L. ‘Meadow Pastels’ seeds were directly sown into 105 cell plug trays and received either ambient light or supplemental high intensity discharge (HID) lighting. For each species, a 2 × 3 × 3 factorial was used with two light intensities during propagation, three transplant stages, and three night temperatures. Seedlings were transplanted at the appearance of 2–3, 5–6, or 8–9 true leaves. Transplanted Linaria and Papaver seedlings were placed at 5/11, 10/16, or 15/21 ± 1 °C night/day temperatures and Lupinus seedlings were placed at 15/24, 18/25, or 20/26 ± 2 °C night/day temperatures. For this study, the optimum production temperature for Linaria was 10/16 °C as the cut stems produced at 15/21 °C were unmarketable and production time was excessively long at 5/11 °C. At 10/16 °C, Linaria seedlings should be transplanted at the 2–3 leaf stage to maximize stem number, stem length and profitability. For Lupinus the optimum temperature was 15/24 °C due to long stems and high profitability per plant. Lupinus seedlings should be transplanted at the 2–3 leaf stage when grown at 15/24 °C to obtain the longest and thickest stems; however, $/m2 week was higher for plants transplanted at the 8–9 leaf stage due to less time in finishing production space. For Papaver, the 15/21 °C temperature was optimal as that temperature produced the longest stems in the shortest duration, resulting in the highest $/m2 week. At 15/21 °C Papaver plants should be transplanted at the 2–3 leaf stage. Supplemental HID lighting had no effect on any of the species. 相似文献

The regenerability of three ornamental species—Lysimachia christinae, Lysimachia rubinervis and Lysimachia nummularia ‘Aurea’, were investigated using in vitro leaves and shoot tips. 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) added to Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium were tested for their effect on organogenesis. On the medium, shoot regeneration occurred directly without callus formation. In these species, L. christinae developed the highest regeneration rate and numbers of shoots/explant from shoot tips (100%, 12.25) and leaf bases (100%, 13.01) on the MS medium containing 3.0 mg l−1 BAP and 0.1 mg l−1 NAA. For L. rubinervis, the highest shoot induction rate and number of shoots/explant were obtained from shoot tip (100%, 16.87–17.20) on the MS medium with 0.1 mg l−1 NAA and 3.0–5.0 mg l−1 BAP. L. nummularia ‘Aurea’, however, showed the highest regeneration rate and number of shoots/explant (100%, 12.73) from leaf bases on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l−1 BAP and 0.1 mg l−1 NAA. All in vitro shoots rooted well on half macronutrient MS medium containing 0.1 mg l−1 NAA. After acclimatization, transplanted plantlets grew normally and flowered in the field. 相似文献

Buxus sinica var. parvifolia, a rare and endangered tree species in some semitropics alpine areas of China, plays an important role in the maintenance of the landscape and ecosystem. In this study, RAPD and ISSR markers were used to investigate the genetic diversity and structure of five natural populations and one tamed population of B. sinica var. parvifolia. 21 RAPD primers amplified 209 bands with 167 (79.90%) polymorphic and 21 ISSR primers amplified 518 bands with 467 (90.15%) polymorphic. The genetic diversity, estimated by Shannon’ index, was 0.4343 (by RAPDs) and 0.3661 (by ISSRs). Both RAPD and ISSR analyses revealed a high level of genetic diversity in natural populations of B. sinica var. parvifolia. Furthermore, analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) was used to apportion the variation within and between populations. The proportion of variation attributable to within-population differences was very high (69.2% by RAPDs; 84.51% by ISSRs). Moderate differentiation was detected among populations using RAPDs (30.80%), while only a small amount of variation (15.49%) was detected among populations using ISSRs. We suggest that the present genetic structure is due to high levels of environmental variability and gene flow, which still need further study to confirm. Conservation measures are suggested, including in situ and ex situ strategies, based on the observed population genetic information. 相似文献

Callistemon is an Australian species used as ornamental plant in Mediterranean regions. The objective of this research was to analyse the ability of Callistemon to overcome water deficit in terms of adjusting its physiology and morphology. Potted Callistemon laevis Anon plants were grown in controlled environment and subjected to drought stress by reducing irrigation water by 40% compared to the control (irrigated to container capacity). The drought stress produced the smallest plants throughout the experiment. After three months of drought, the leaf area, number of leaves and root volume decreased, while root/shoot ratio and root density increased. The higher root hydraulic resistance in stressed plants caused decreases in leaf and stem water potentials resulting in lower stomatal conductance and indicating that water flow through the roots is a factor that strongly influences shoot water relations. The water stress affected transpiration (63% reduction compared with the control). The consistent decrease in gs suggested an adaptative efficient stomatal control of transpiration by this species, resulting in a higher intrinsic water use efficiency (Pn/gs) in drought conditions, increasing as the experimental time progressed. This was accompanied by an improvement in water use efficiency of production to maintain the leaf water status. In addition, water stress induced an active osmotic adjustment and led to decreases in leaf tissue elasticity in order to maintain turgor. Therefore, the water deficit produced changes in plant water relations, gas exchange and growth in an adaptation process which could promote the faster establishment of this species in gardens or landscaping projects in Mediterranean conditions. 相似文献

Preliminary studies showed that a Bacillus subtilis strain stimulates plant growth. We investigated how inoculating seeds of a sunflower cultivar (Helianthus annuus L.) with this strain stimulated plant growth, soil properties and emissions of greenhouse gasses, i.e. carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O), when cultivated in a greenhouse. Unfertilized sunflowers or fertilized with urea served as controls. After one month, root length and fresh and dry root weight of the sunflower was significantly higher in the bacteria amended plant than in the urea and unfertilized plants. However, at harvest, no positive effect was observed. The number of seeds per plant and seed weight was not significantly different between the treatments, but total plant N was significantly higher in urea-amended plants than in unfertilized plants. The CO2 production rate was not affected by treatment, but the N2O emission rate was significantly higher in soil amended with urea plus bacteria soil compared to the unfertilized treatments. It was found that the B. subtilis strain used in this study had a positive, but only temporarily effect on growth of the sunflower cultivar used. 相似文献
