optimization of surface sterilization treatments in two birch (betula sp.) species
نویسندگان
چکیده
birch (betula sp.) is considered as extinction species and its natural regeneration in iranian forests is very slow. difficulties in regeneration as well as natural seed germination of birch tree besides high levels of seed contaminations have justified the application in vitro culture with respect to its conservation and genetic improvement. hence, the in vitro culture initiation using seed explants of two birch species was attempted. the seeds of b. pendula (collected from sangdeh altitudes, mazandaran) and b. litwinowii (from siamarzkooh forests, golestan region) were randomly harvested from the ten adult trees and then subjected to 7 surface sterilization treatments in 3 replications. the experiment was undertaken as completely randomized design in factorial arrangement (two factors) and 15 replications per each treatment. application of difnoconazole fungicide (3% for 24 h) followed by warm water (55°c in 30 min) and hgcl2 (0.1% for 10 min) were recognized as the best treatment for seed sterilization as well as germination. with this treatment, 95-100% seeds were found to be free from bacterial and fungal contamination. consequently, seeds of two species were cultured on ms and b5 media. the germination percentage for b. litwinowii and b. pendula were recorded as 17.3% and 14%, respectively. in conclusion, these in vitro raised plantlets may be used as a source explants for in vitro culture initiation of birch species, whose seed collection is so difficult in such impassable sites.

A novel badnavirus discovered from Betula sp. affected by birch leaf-roll disease
In declining birches (Betula sp.) from different European stands affected by the "birch leaf-roll disease" (BLRD) a novel virus is identified by means of RNA-Seq virome analysis. The virus represents a new member in the genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae, tentatively named Birch leaf roll-associated virus (BLRaV) and it is the first badnavirus found to infect birch. Complete genome sequenc...
متن کاملTranscriptomic Analysis of Phenotypic Changes in Birch (Betula platyphylla) Autotetraploids
Plant breeders have focused much attention on polyploid trees because of their importance to forestry. To evaluate the impact of intraspecies genome duplication on the transcriptome, a series of Betula platyphylla autotetraploids and diploids were generated from four full-sib families. The phenotypes and transcriptomes of these autotetraploid individuals were compared with those of diploid tree...

We used in vitro callus and shoot cultures as target material for genetic transformation of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) by particle bombardment. Cultivation of in vitro shoot cultures before particle bombardment and a long selection period, combined with a high concentration of selective agent after bombardment, led to the production of transformed plantlets that were stable, and no esca...
