چکیده

Studies pertaining to the detection, isolation anid chemical characterization of naturally occurring and synthetic cytokinins have been aided by the utilization of cultured callus tissues derived from soybean cotyledons (6, 9, 10, 11, 12) and tobacco stem pith (7, 8, 13, 14). Both tissues, when exposed to a specific anid defined chemical milieu, require kinetin or another similarly active 6-substituted aminopurine for continual growth and maintenance in culture ( 10). It has also been reported that numerous structural variants of phenylurea stimulate cell division in isolated stem pith of tobacco (2). Although an auxin such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or a-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), is a necessary constituent of the basal medium for optimum growth, the auxin does not elicit significant callus proliferation in the absence of a cvtokinin (10). In the soybean callus, however, the specific auxin used appears to be quite importalnt with respect to the nature of the cytokinin-auxini mediated growth response. For example, adenine is knowni to exhibit slight cvtokinin activity, no activity or even inhiibitionl of calltus growth wheni supplied in comibination with I,AA (10, 11). 'On the other lhand, Miller (11) has recently demonstrated that adenine will consistently stimulate soybean callus growtlh whein NAA is substituted for IAA. In essence, a highly effective auxin seems to be a requiremenlt for the expression of cytokinin activity by adenine. In view of these results, it seemed reasonable to assume that ani auxin even more effective than NAA might stimulate the calluts proliferation in the absence of any added cvtokinin. 2,4-D meets this requiremenit anld is knowvn to stimnulate growtlh of soybeanl root cells cultutes (4) and has been used without added cvtokinins in the ctulture of other tisstues (3. 5, 15. 16, for examples). The tissues exanminedl were originally (lerived fromii stem pith of tobacco (Nicotiana tobacumnt, var. Wisconsin No. 38) and from cotyledons of sovbean

Interaction of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, Ethylene Chlorohydrin and Glutathione in the Stability of the Microsomal Ribonucleic Acid of Excised Cotton Cotyledons

The nucleic acids ot isolated plant tissues were first shown to be affected by plant growth regulators by Silberger and Skoog (1953). They showed that indoleacetic acid treatment would increase the level of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid in tobacco pith tissue. Recently, experiments with excised stems of cucumber seedlings (West, Hanson and Key, 1960), and excised cotton cotyl...

Tissue-specific and organ-specific expression of soybean auxin-responsive transcripts GH3 and SAURs.

We used in situ hybridization to localize two classes of auxin-regulated transcripts, GH3 and SAURs, within organs and tissues of soybean seedlings and flowers. GH3 transcripts occurred in the inner cortex and protoxylem ridges of roots and were expressed transiently during flower and pod development. SAUR transcripts were expressed in the epidermis, cortex, and starch sheath of epicotyls and i...

Indirect in vitro regeneration of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)

Establishment of an efficient and reproducible regeneration protocol is one of the basic prerequisites for genetic transformation of any crop plant. In vitro culture of lentil has proven to be difficult. In spite of a number of reports on the regeneration of this plant, very few satisfying and reproducible protocol has yet been reported. This study carried out for investigation of diff...

Cytokinin activity induced by thidiazuron.

The diphenylurea derivative thidiazuron induces a variety of cytokinin responses. Levels above 5 x 10(-9) molar and 4 x 10(-7) molar stimulate maximum soybean callus growth and radish cotyledon expansion, respectively. A wider range of dose response related effects follows thidiazuron induced tobacco plant regeneration. Analysis of soybean callus extracts strongly suggests that thidiazuron trea...

Clustering of microarray data reveals transcript patterns associated with somatic embryogenesis in soybean.

Globular somatic embryos can be induced from immature cotyledons of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr. cv Jack) placed on high levels of the auxin 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Somatic embryos develop from the adaxial side of the cotyledon, whereas the abaxial side evolves into a callus. Using a 9,280-cDNA clone array, we have compared steady-state RNA from the adaxial side from which embr...
