ABSTRACT

La embriogénesis somática representa una herramienta esencial en el mejoramiento genético y en la micropropagación clonal masiva de bananos mejorados. En el presente trabajo se analizaron los patrones morfológicos y anatómicos que ocurren durante la embriogénesis somática del banano Williams, dirigidos a conocer y mejorar este proceso. En la investigación se establecieron suspensiones celulares embriogénicas (SCE) a partir de callo embriogénico obtenido de manos florales inmaduras masculinas, las cuales originaron abundantes embriones que regeneraron plantas. Hacia los tres meses de cultivo se detectaron embriones somáticos (ES) primarios color blanco-crema en las manos florales de los nudos nueve a doce, contados a partir del ápice floral. Al cuarto mes estos ES primarios dieron origen al callo embriogénico, de color blanco crema, estructura granular, con abundantes ES torpedo en su periferia y con una organización celular en tres diferentes zonas. De este callo se cultivaron porciones pequeñas con ES torpedo en medio de multiplicación durante dos meses, dando origen a la SCE I. La misma se tamizó (250 µm) para establecer la SCE II. El sedimento de células y los agregados celulares embriogénicos de ambas SCE se trasladó a medio de maduración. Transcurridos dos meses los embriones maduros se transfirieron a medio de conversión de embriones, lográndose regenerar plantas completas a partir de las dos semanas. Las SCE produjeron numerosos embriones somáticos maduros y mostraron una buena conversión de embriones a plantas y regeneración de plantas. Este sistema de embriogénesis somática permitió la obtención de plantas funcionales en nueve meses.


Somatic embryogenesis represents an essential tool for the genetic improvement and for the mass clonal micropropagation of the improved banana plant. In this present work morphological and anatomical patterns were analyzed in the somatic embryogenesis of Williams banana, to know and enhance this process. In the investigation embryogenic cell suspensions (ECS) were established from embryogenic callus obtained from floral immature male hands, which gave rise to many somatic embryos that regenerated plants. Towards the three months of culture white-cream primary somatic embryos (SE) were detected in the floral hands of the nodes nine to twelve, counted from the floral apex. At the fourth month this primary SE gave origin to a creamy-white embryogenic callus, with granular structure and abundant SE torpedo on its periphery. Cell organization with three different zones was observed in callus. Small portions of this callus were cultivated in the multiplication medium for two months, to originate ECS I. This ECS was filtered through a mesh (250 µm pore size) to establish the ECS II. The sediment of embryogenic cells and cell clusters of the ECS were moved to maturation media. After two months the mature embryos were transferred to conversion medium, and two weeks later, whole plants were developed. The ECS produced numerous mature SE, which showed good conversion of embryos into plants and plant regeneration. This system of somatic embryogenesis permitted the mass production of functional plants in nine months.

ABSTRACT

The purposes of this work were to obtain embryogenic cell suspensions (ECS) from scalps and to regenerate plants of the banana CIEN-BTA-03. Shoot apexes were grown in the scalp-induction medium of Murashige and Skoog plus BA and IAA, following four diverse treatments. The first two, ME22 and ME25, were solid media supplemented with (mg L-1) 22.7 BA plus 0.192 IAA, and 25 BA plus 0.217 IAA, respectively, all containing 1.8 g L-1 of phytagel, and subcultures were performed monthly and bimonthly over 16 months. The other two treatments, IT22 and IT25, resembled ME22 and ME25 but consisted in temporary immersion for four months without subcultures, followed by two months in solid media. The scalps were grown in callus-induction medium and embryogenic calluses were obtained with abundant somatic embryos, especially in scalps from IT25. About 10 to 15 embryos from each were transferred to 5 ml of multiplication medium to initiate the ECS. The scalps obtained from the IT25 treatment were the most successful as they led to ECS with high embryogenic capability. In addition, IT25 decreased the timespan required for the production of scalps. The obtained ECS gave rise to secondary somatic embryos. It showed a high multiplication index, as well as numerous mature somatic embryos, and good conversion of embryos and plant regeneration.
