The Elimination of Fanleaf Virus from Grapevines Using in vitro Somatic Embryogenesis Combined with Heat Therapy
نویسنده
چکیده
Somatic embryos were successfully regenerated from callus tissue of anthers and ovaries excised from inflorescences of grapevines infected with grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV). Production of pro-embryogenic masses (PEMS) was controlled by specific growth regulators and culture conditions, including heat incubation at 35°C. Somatic embryos (containing roots and cotyledons) and plantlets were subjected to immunosorbent electron microscopy (ISEM) and serological tests (ELISA). Results show that somatic embryogenesis in combination with heat therapy of the cultures is an effective procedure to eliminate GFLV from anther and ovary source material.

Induction of Callus and Somatic Embryogenesis from Cotyledon Explants of Fagonia indica Burm.
To explore the potential for in vitro rapid regeneration of Fagonia indica Burm., cotyledon explants were obtained from 10-day old aseptically germinated seedlings that cultured on MS medium which supplemented with 1.0-5.0 µM 2,4-D. Callus was initiated from cotyledon explant on MS medium supplemented in all concentrations of 2,4-D investigated. 2,4-D was more effective than IAA and NAA for cal...

Plant tissue culture is an alternative method of commercial propagation and is being used widely for the commercial propagation of a large number of plant species, including many medicinal plants. Somatic embryogenesis is a process by which asexual or somatic cells are induced to form embryos in culture. Somatic embryogenesis is a multi-step regeneration process starting with formation of pro-e...
متن کاملThe Occurrence of Grapevine Fanleaf Virus in Washington State Vineyards
Grapevine degeneration in grapevines caused by Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) has been documented in many viticultural regions worldwide (Andret-Link et al. 2004). It is one of the major economically important virus diseases affecting the longevity of grapevines and reducing the fruit yield and fruit quality. Infected grapevines show a range of foliar symptoms consisting of leaf deformation, ye...

In the present study, 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) was assessed individually for its effectiveness to induce somatic embryogenesis in tea (Camellia sinenesis L.). Embryonic axes and cotyledons explants were dissected from the seeds. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0, 1 and 5 mM 2, 4-D alone for embryonic axes and 0, 1 and 5 mM 2, 4-D along with 0...

Introduction Fanleaf degeneration/decline disease is one of the most severe viral disease complexes of grapevine worldwide. It is also one of the oldest known viral diseases of Vitis vinifera with descriptions of symptoms being reported in Europe as early as 1841. This disease is now known to affect grapevines in all temperate regions where Vitis vinifera and hybrid rootstocks are grown. Within...
