چکیده

Tissue culture provides a useful system to investigate how plant hormones are involved in this process. Auxin and cytokinin are widely used in plant regeneration. Gibberellin is also an important plant hormone in regulating plant growth and development. It is interesting to know the effects of gibberellin and its signalling pathway on plant regeneration. In this report Arabidopsis thaliana landsberg (wild type), ga1-3 (gibberellin biosynthesis deficiency mutant), gai (gibberellin insensitive mutant), penta mutant (lacking GA1, GAI, RGA, RGL1, RGL2) and tetra mutant (lacking GAI, RGA, RGL1, RGL2) were used as materials to investigate how plant regeneration progress was affected in these mutants under different conditions. The results showed that more shoot buds were regenerated in ga1-3 and gai than in wild type, penta and tetra mutant in the normal shoot induction medium. The frequency of shoot bud regeneration in different mutants also varied remarkably when auxin : cytokinin ratio in the medium changed. Only penta mutant had shoot bud regeneration without auxin in the medium. When the ratio increased wild type, ga1-3 and gai had higher performance in shoot bud regeneration than penta mutant. When cytokinin level increased from 0.1 to 0.5 mg l, shoot bud regeneration frequency of ga1-3, wild type and tetra increased remarkably except for that of penta and gai. Only the shoot bud regeneration frequency of gai did not change significantly when cytokinin level increased from 0.5 to 5 mg l. These gibberellin-related mutants also responded differently to NPA (an auxin polar transport inhibitor) in plant regeneration. Our results indicate gibberellin and its related pathway are also involved in plant organogenesis: gibberellin inhibitor and auxin polar transport inhibitor can promote plant organogenesis. This might provide a new way for the regeneration of recalcitrant species.

A reliable method is described for rapid proliferation of axillary shoots from nodal segment of mature field-grown aromatic and medicinal plant Vitex negundo through in vitro culture. Of different concentrations of N6-benzyladenine (BA) evaluated as supplements to Murahige and Skoog (MS) medium, BA at 1mg/l was effective in enhancing bud break and shoot regeneration. Response of explants was al...

IN VITRO REGENERATION OF SHOOT AND CORM FROM THE DIF'FERENT EXPLANTS OF CROCUS SATWUS L

Different explants of Crocus sativus L. such as corm, style, ovary, petal, anther and leaf were cultured on LS and MS media supplemented with NAA and BAP or 2,4-D plus BAP at different combinations. Shoot and corm induction occurred in addition to the formation of other organs. Efficient plantlet regeneration with strong roots occurred at 1 mg 1-I of both NAA and BAP. An increase in 2,4-D l...

Gibberellin Promotes Shoot Branching in the Perennial Woody Plant Jatropha curcas

Strigolactone (SL), auxin and cytokinin (CK) interact to regulate shoot branching. CK has long been considered to be the only key phytohormone to promote lateral bud outgrowth. Here we report that gibberellin also acts as a positive regulator in the control of shoot branching in the woody plant Jatropha curcas. We show that gibberellin and CK synergistically promote lateral bud outgrowth, and t...

Considering great medicinal value of Hyssopus officinalis L. and possibility of its mass production through in vitro culture, two individual experiments was conducted. Effect of various concentrations (0, 2.2, 4.4 and 11 µmol) of TDZ and BAP in combination with 1 µmol of IAA on direct regeneration from nodal explants were assessed. Significant difference between treatments was observed (P≤ 0.01...

Effects of shoot-applied gibberellin/gibberellin-biosynthesis inhibitors on root growth and expression of gibberellin biosynthesis genes in Arabidopsis thaliana

To elucidate the involvement of gibberellin (GA) in the growth regulation of Arabidopsis roots, effects of shoot-applied GA and GA-biosynthesis inhibitors on the root were examined. Applying GA to the shoot of Arabidopsis slightly enhanced the primary root elongation. Treating shoots with uniconazole, a GA biosynthesis inhibitor, also resulted in enhancement of primary root elongation, while sh...
