Characterization of Some Claviceps Strains Derived from Regenerated Protoplasts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three ergoline alkaloids producing Claviceps strains easily formed protoplasts when treated with snail digestive extract ex Helix pomatia. Colonies obtained after regeneration of protoplasts were monitored for alkaloid production. Among the regenerated progeny strains could be iso lated which differ considerably in the quantity of ergolines and the composition of the alkaloid mixture compared with parental strains. Protoplast-derived strains were stable in morphology and alkaloid production for more than four years if the propagation was performed with hyphal fragments. Activities of some alkaloid-specific enzymes e.g. oxygenases and ergotamine syntheta se were studied in various related strains.

PLANT REGENERATION FROM MESOPHYLL PROTOPLASTS OF POTATO (SOLANUM TUBEROSUM L.) CULTIVAR DELAWARE USING SILVER THIOSULFATE (STS)
The use of in vitro potato shoot cultures for protoplast isolation is desirable for consistent protoplast qualities. Ethylene build-up in the culture vessels causes problems for leaf growth (e.g. decreasing leaf surface, dry weight and chlorophyll) in shoot culture. Fifty to one hundred µM Silver thiosulfate (STS) produced a larger leaf area as a source of plant material for protoplast isolatio...

Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) protoplasts were isolated from the cells of a suspension culture or calli with a solution of Cellulase, Pectinase and Hemicellulase and embedded in Ca-alginate beads. They were cultured with or without nurse cells in MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D and 6-benzylaminopurine at 25°C. After several changes of medium, cell-clusters appeared on the surface of the Ca-algi...
متن کاملPlant Regeneration from Cell Suspension Protoplasts of Two Iranian Japonica Rice Cultivars and Ploidy Level of Regenerated Plants
An efficient system has been developed for the reproducible regeneration of plants from cell suspension-derived protoplasts of the two commercial Iranian Japonica rice cultivars Tarom and Khazer. Friable embryogenic calli were used for cell suspension initiation and protoplasts were isolated from both varieties. When embedded in agarose, protoplasts failed to divide. However, sustained division...

Protoplasts were produced from the thermophilic actinomycete Thermomonospora fusca and were regenerated to 0.1% of the direct count on regeneration agar. Recombination after protoplast fusion was demonstrated with drug-resistant mutants of T. fusca YX. A single thiostrepton-resistant colony was isolated after transformation of T. fusca YX with the streptomycete vector pIJ702, providing the firs...
