ABSTRACT
Abstract The influence of silver nitrate (AgNO3), benzyladenine (BAP), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) on low frequency somatic embryogenesis (LFSE) induction in Caturra and Catuaí arabica coffee was evaluated. For the Caturra cultivar, the production of somatic embryos was significantly increased by adding AgNO3 to the semisolid culture medium. The highest average number of somatic embryos for this cultivar was obtained using 6.6 μM BAP, 2.85 μM IAA, and 40 μM AgNO3. In contrast, for the Catuaí cultivar, the highest average number of somatic embryos was obtained using semisolid medium supplemented with 8.8 μM BAP, and 2.85 μM IAA. Using these protocols, somatic embryos were directly induced using leaf sections of in vitro plants of both coffee cultivars within 8 weeks. The somatic embryos developed into rooted plants with a 100% survival rate upon transfer to the greenhouse.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to induce and analyze embryogenic calli from two types of explants (leaves and meristems) of the hybrid Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla. Leaves and meristems of plants kept in a nursery were disinfected and inoculated in Petri dishes containing MS culture medium supplemented with different concentrations of the growth regulator dicamba (1.13, 4.52, and 9.04 µM) and without it. At 60 days of culturing, the calli were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and at 90 days were evaluated by light microscopy in regard to the embryogenic characteristics of the cells. Different type of calli were induced in leaf explants, designated as Type I with light yellow coloring, Type II with dark yellow coloring, and Type III of brown coloring; however, only Type I had embryogenic characteristics. In the meristematic explants, only one type of callus was induced, and it had embryogenic characteristics. At 90 days of culturing, the formation of somatic embryos in the different embryogenic stages was observed and the formation of procambium, protoderm, and ground meristem tissues. At 150 days of culturing, the concentration of 1.13 µM of dicamba was prominent in the formation of somatic embryos in the different embryogenic stages.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effect of different concentrations of 2-isopentenyladenine (2-iP) on the direct somatic embryogenesis capacity of the Mundo Novo cultivar of Coffea arabica. Leaf explants were cultivated with half the MS salt concentration and the addition of sucrose (20gL-1) and 2-iP (0; 2.5; 5; 7.5 and 10µM). The 2-iP doses of 7.5 and 10µM produced the greatest responses with respect to the percentage of explants with embryogenic structures and the size of the embryogenic structures. However, the greatest production of somatic embryos occurred on the explants treated with 10µM of 2-iP, followed by 7.5µM, whereas their production was absent or reduced with 0 and 5µM, respectively.
RESUMO: Este estudo avaliou o efeito de diferentes concentrações de 2-isopentalinadenina (2-iP) na capacidade de embriogênese somática direta da cultivar Mundo Novo de Coffea arabica. Explantes foliares foram cultivados em meio com metade da concentração de sais de MS e adição de sacarose (20gL-1) e de 2-iP (0; 2,5; 5; 7,5 e 10µM). Os tratamentos com 7,5 e 10µM de 2-iP induziram respostas mais elevadas de porcentagem de explantes com estruturas embriogênicas e de tamanho de estrutura embriogênica. Porém, os explantes tratados 10µM de 2-iP tiveram maior produção de embriões somáticos, seguido de 7,5µM, enquanto nos tratamentos controle e com 5µM, as respostas foram respectivamente de ausência e de baixa formação destes.
ABSTRACT
El cultivo in vitro de la caña de azúcar ha sido establecido en muchas variedades comerciales con el propósito de producir material libre de enfermedades microbianas, conservar germoplasma, detectar resistencia a enfermedades y plagas, etc. En este sentido, el objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la efectividad de las auxinas sintéticas ácido 2,4-diclorofenoxiacético (2,4D) y ácido 3,6-dicloro-2-metoxibenzoico (Dicamba), en la inducción del proceso de embriogénesis somática y la regeneración de vitroplántulas de distintas variedades de caña de azúcar (C26670, RB855546, V99245, V756, V781, V0050, CC8592, CC8475). Para esto se cultivaron discos de hojas en fase de macollamiento, de 1 cm de diámetro y 2 mm de grosor, en medio Murashige-Skoog, 1962 (MS) suplementado con 50 ml.l-1 agua de coco, 30 g.l-1 sacarosa y dos tratamientos diferentes: 3 mg.l-1 2,4-D ó 6.63 mg.l-1 Dicamba, ambos en completa oscuridad a 25ºC, durante 1 mes. Los callos obtenidos se colocaron en medio de regeneración, conteniendo ½ sales MS, 200 ml.l-1 agua de coco y 60 g.L-1 sacarosa, incubándose bajo luz continua, 25ºC, por 2 meses. El mayor porcentaje de callo embriogénico se obtuvo en medios suplementados con Dicamba un promedio de 70,83 % de callo embriogénico por variedad ; mientras que en los medios con 2,4D se obtuvo 62,08 % de callo embriogénico por variedad. Se obtuvo un promedio de 89,00 % de plantas regeneradas a partir de los callos obtenidos en medios con Dicamba y 66,12 % de plantas a partir de callos obtenidos en medios con 2,4D. Con el uso de Dicamba se estableció un sistema eficiente de embriogénesis somática para estas variedades de caña de azúcar.
In order to conserve sugarcane germplasm, produce microbial disease-free material, detect resistance to diseases and pests, etc., in vitro propagation of sugarcane has been established in many commercial varieties. In this sense, the aim of this work was to analyze the efficiency of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4D) and 3,6-dichloro -2- methoxybenzoic acid (Dicamba) to induce somatic embryogenesis and regeneration of plantlets from sugarcane varieties C26670, RB855546, V99245, V756, V781, V0050, CC8592, CC8475. For induction of embryogenic callus, leaf discs in tillering stage of 1 cm diameter and 2 mm thick, were inoculated on Murashige-Skoog, 1962 medium (MS), supplemented with 50 ml.l-1 coconut water, 30 g.l-1sucrose and two different treatments: 3 mg.l-1 2,4D or 6.63 mg.l-1 Dicamba, both of them in total darkness at 25 °C, during 1 month. For plant regeneration, embryogenic calli were transferred to ½ MS salts supplemented with coconut water 200 ml.l-1 and sucrose 60 g.l-1 and incubated under continuous light, 25 °C, for 2 months. The highest percent of embryogenic callus induction was obtained in media supplemented with Dicamba, an average of 70.83 % of embryogenic callus by variety, while in media with 2,4-D, 62.08 % of embryogenic callus was obtained by variety. An average of 89,00 % of plantlets was obtained from calli induced on media with Dicamba and an average of 66.12% of plantlets was obtained from calli induced on media supplemented with 2,4D. Using Dicamba it was possible to establish an efficient somatic embryogenesis protocol for these sugarcane varieties.
ABSTRACT
Um importante método de multiplicação in vitro de plantas de Coffea é a embriogênese somática, que consiste no desenvolvimento de embrióides a partir de células haplóides ou somáticas possibilitando a micropropagação acelerada de clones superiores e a manutenção de híbridos interespecíficos. Entretanto, há poucos relatos da obtenção de embriogênese direta na espécie Coffea arabica. Objetivou-se com este trabalho estabelecer protocolo para desenvolvimento in vitro de embriões somáticos e produção de mudas de C. arabica cultivar Acaiá Cerrado. Avaliaram-se a influência de sacarose (0; 30; 60; 90 e 120 g L-1) x BAP (0; 2; 4 e 8 mg L-1) em embriões somáticos. No desenvolvimento das plântulas, testaram-se ANA (0; 0,25; 0,5 e 1mg L-1) x GA3 (0; 2,5; 5,0; 10 e 20 mg L-1) em brotações, com tamanho médio de 1 a 1,5 cm, oriundas de embriões somáticos in vitro. Durante a etapa de indução de embriões, o experimento foi conduzido em sala de crescimento em condições de escuro e, na etapa de desenvolvimento dos embriões e plântulas, os explantes foram submetidos à irradiância em torno de 32 µM m-2 s-1 e fotoperíodo de 16 horas, à temperatura de 25 ± 1 ºC. Na aclimatização, avaliou-se o efeito da presença e ausência de raízes em plântulas de cafeeiro oriundas de embriogênese somática direta. A adição de 90 g L-1 de sacarose e 2 mg L-1 de BAP ao meio de cultura proporciona melhor crescimento in vitro de embriões de cafeeiro. Utilizando-se 0,5 mg L-1 de ANA e 14,2 mg L-1 de GA3 obtém-se maior comprimento da parte aérea de brotações de C. arabica L. cv. Acaiá Cerrado. Conclui-se que é possível a obtenção de plântulas micropropagadas de C. arabica L. cultivar Acaiá Cerrado pela embriogênese somática direta. O enraizamento de brotações de cafeeiro cultivar Acaiá Cerrado ocorre simultaneamente ao processo de aclimatização.
An important method of in vitro plant's multiplication of Coffea is somatic embryogenesis, which consists in developing embryoid from haploid or diploid somatic cells, without the fusion of gametes allowing the accelerated micropropagation and maintenance of superior clones interspecific hybrids. However there are few reports of direct embryogenesis in Coffea arabica. The objective of this work to establish protocol for in vitro development of somatic embryos and seedlings of C. arabica Acaiá Cerrado. The influence of sucrose (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 g L-1) x BAP (0, 2, 4 and 8 mg L-1) on somatic embryos from embryogenic were evaluated. In seedling development, NAA (0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg L-1) x GA3 (0, 2.5, 5.0, 10 and 20 mg L-1) in shoots were tested, with average size of 1 to 1.5 cm, derived from somatic embryos in vitro. During the development stage of embryos and embryonic seedling induction, the experiment was conducted in a growth chamber under conditions of darkness and the stage of development of embryos and seedlings, the explants were subjected to irradiation around 32 mM m- 2 s-1 and a photoperiod of 16 hours at a temperature of 25 ± 1 º C. In acclimatization, the effect of the presence and absence of roots in coffee seedlings originating from direct somatic embryogenesis were evaluated. The addition of 90 g L-1 sucrose and 2 mg L-1 BAP to the culture medium provides a better in vitro growth of embryos from coffee. Using 0.5 mg L-1 NAA and 14.2 mg L-1 GA3 obtains greater shoot length of shoots of C. arabica L. cv. Acaiá Cerrado. It was concluded that it is possible to obtain plantlets C. arabica L. Acaiá Cerrado by direct somatic embryogenesis. The rooting of shoots of coffee Acaiá Cerrado occurs simultaneously with the process of acclimatization.

Objective: To establish the system of tissue culture regeneration and gene transformation for Coptis chinensis. Methods: The cotyledon and hypocotyl of C. chinensis were used as explants, and the effects of different basic media with different plant growth regulators on in vitro tissue culture regeneration were compared; The embryogenic calli of C. chinensis were used as recipients for genetic transformation by particle bombardment method. Results: The induction rates of cotyledon and hypocotyl were 86.31% and 54.34%, respectively; The 6, 7-V medium was more suitable for callus induction and proliferation rate of C. chinensis than the MS medium. The optimal hormone combination for callus induction was 0.5 mg/L 2, 4-D + 0.5 mg/L KT in MS medium; Either the appropriate concentration of cytokinin alone or the combination of both cytokinin and auxin could induce the continuous proliferation of calli; However, only the hormone combination 0.5 mg/L KT + 0.5 mg/L IAA and 1.0 mg/L 6-BA + 0.5 mg/L NAA could generate the somatic embryos. 6, 7-V medium in absence of hormone could maintain the continuous growth of the embryogenic calli. The somatic embryos could germinate and grow up to plantlets on 6, 7-V medium containing 1 mg/L GA3 + 0.5 mg/L IBA. The embryogenic calli were transformed by particle bombardment method and screened under 3 mg/L Basta, then the activity of β-glucuronidase was detected. PCR analysis showed that the bar gene was successfully transferred to the regenerated plants. Conclusion: The tissue culture regeneration and genetic transformation system of C. chinensis is established, which lays the foundation for its genetic improvement.
ABSTRACT
El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar dos protocolos de propagación vía embriogénesis somática a partir de explantes florales en dos clones élite BIOB e ICS95 de Theobroma cacao L. Se obtuvo un 50 y 32% de callo embriogénico en ICS95 y BIOB respectivamente con el protocolo de Fontanel et al. (2002), modificado después de un periodo de cultivo de tres meses. Los embriones pasaron por fases que se correspondieron con medios de cultivo diferenciales: Inducción, Formación, Maduración y Mantenimiento. Para la embriogénesis somática secundaria se obtuvo un 23% de embriones a partir de embriones somáticos primarios en un medio, conteniendo 1mg/L de 2,4,5 T (2,4,5 Triclorofenoxiacético). Se logró, además, desarrollar enraizamiento adventicio aplicando pulsos de IBA (Ácido Indol Butírico) a 0.5mg/L y 0.5g/L durante un minuto. Las plantas enraizadas se llevaron a una mezcla de tierra: arena (1:1) para su adaptación ex vitro, obteniéndose un 66% de plantas aclimatadas. Los estudios histológicos mostraron diferentes características típicas del desarrollo embriogénico. Este es el primer reporte en el que se logra de manera exitosa la conversión hasta plántula (68%) y la adaptación ex vitro de una variedad colombiana de cacao vía embriogénesis somática primaria y secundaria.
In this research we evaluate two protocols of propagation via somatic embryogenesis from floral explants using two elite clones BIOB and ICS95 of Theobroma cacao L. We obtained 50 and 32% of embryogenic callus on ICS95 and BIOB respectively with Fontanel et al., (2002) protocol modified after three months of culture. The embryos went through four phases; Induction, Formation, Maduration and Mantenimiento which corresponded each one with different media culture. For secondary somatic embryogenesis we obtained 23% of embryos from primary somatic embryos in a medium with 1mg/L of 2,4,5 T (2,4,5 Triclorofenoxiacetic). Also we obtained plants that developed new roots applying pulses with IBA (Indol Butiric Acid) 0.5mg/L and 0.5g/L for a minute. The developed plants were moved to a mix of potting soil and sand (1:1) for their ex vitro adaptation, getting 66% of acclimatized plants. The histological analysis showed the typical characteristics of the embryogenic development. This is the first report where it is achieved the successful conversion to plantlets (68%) and ex vitro adaptation of a colombian cocoa variety via primary and secondary embryogenesis.

This paper describes a protocol for the efficient vegetative propagation of Cleome rosea by somatic embryogenesis. Leaf and stem explants from nursery-grown seedlings of C. rosea were cultivated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), a -naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Nodular calli were produced from both explant types in the presence of 4.5 and 9.0 µM 2,4-D. Embryo development and maturation were achieved when calli from stem explants were transferred to media containing a ten-fold reduction of 2,4-D concentration initially used (0.45 and 0.90 µM). Leaf-derived calli did not form embryos with the same treatments. The highest frequency of embryogenic callus formation (85 percent) and number of embryo per callus (13.45 ± 2.8) were achieved during the first subculture on medium supplemented with 0.90 µM 2,4-D. Embryo conversion into plantlets was achieved following transfer to growth regulator-free MS medium solidified with 2 g.L-1 phytagel. An acclimatization rate of 53 percent was found three months after transfer to ex vitro conditions and the recovered plants presented a normal phenotypic aspect.
O trabalho descreve um protocolo para a propagação in vitro de Cleome rosea por embriogênese somática. Explantes foliares e caulinares, obtidos de plantas germinadas sob condições in vivo, foram cultivados em meio de Murashige and Skoog (MS) suplementado com ácido 3-indolacético (AIA), ácido naftalenoacético (ANA), ácido 4-amino-3,5,6-tricloropicolínico (picloram) ou ácido 2,4-diclorofenoxiacético (2,4-D). Calos de aspecto nodular foram produzidos a partir de ambos os tipos de explante na presença de 4,5 e 9,0 μM de 2,4-D. O desenvolvimento e a maturação de embriões somáticos foram alcançados quando calos obtidos de explantes caulinares foram transferidos para meio de cultura suplementado com uma concentração de 2,4-D dez vezes menor do que aquelas utilizadas na indução do processo de calogênese (0,45 e 0,90 μM). Calos derivados de explantes foliares não produziram embriões ao serem submetidos a estes mesmos tratamentos. Os maiores valores de freqüência de calos embriogênicos (85 por cento) e número médio de embriões por calo (13,45±2,8) foram alcançados durante a primeira subcultura em meio suplementado com 0,90 μM de 2,4-D. O processo de conversão dos embriões somáticos em plantas foi observado após transferência dos embriões para meio MS sem suplementação hormonal solidificado com 2 g.L-1 de fitagel. Três meses após a transferência para condições ex vitro a taxa de aclimatização alcançada foi de 53 por cento e as plantas apresentavam um aspecto fenotípico normal.
ABSTRACT
The preservation of embryogenic lines derived from several endangered local grapevine cultivars was studied. Embryogenic calluses were obtained from immature anthers of eight cultivars, sampled on both fruity-cuttings and field grown vines. Anthers at the 'separated flower' stage, derived from fruity-cuttings, resulted in an increased induction of somatic embryogenesis, compared to those derived from the field. Pro-embryogenic calluses were induced on Chée and Pool (1987) basal medium, supplemented with 9 micron M of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 11.35 micron M of thidiazuron (TDZ) under dark conditions. Different anther zones (filament, abaxial, adaxial, lateral zones and entire anthers) were involved in somatic embryogenesis induction. The percentages of granular and yellowish pro-embryogenic calluses ranged between 15.6 percent and 34.8 percent in 'Kahli Kerkennah' and 'Muscat Raf-raf' cultivars, respectively. Although, morphological diversifications of pro-embryogenic calluses (several necrosis and spontaneous maturation) were observed on the induction mediumafter 5 subcultures. The reduction of 2,4-D and TDZ levels to 4.52 micron M and 2.89 micron M respectively, induced granular and yellowish embryogenic material. Thus, Chée and Pool (1987) (CP) enriched with 4.52 micron M of 2,4-D and 2.89 micron M of TDZ revealed to be the most appropriate for long-term maintenance. In fact, all the cultivars presented high and regular embryo maturation rates after 12, 24, 36 and 48 months of cultivation on this medium, under light conditions. After 4 years, they still exhibit high germination and regeneration abilities. Germination of somatic embryos was achieved on Murashige and Skoog (1962) basal-medium, with rates ranging from 69 percent to 96 percent. Only 5 percent of somatic embryos were concerned by morphological variations. The regenerated plantlets presented a normal phenotype under controlled greenhouse conditions, compared to mother plants.
