Somatic Embryogenesis in Gentiana Pneumonanthe L
نویسنده
چکیده
A method for micropropagation of the protected species Gentiana pneumonanthe L. by somatic embryogenesis (SE) was elaborated. For SE induction, secondary explants of leaves and apical meristems from in vitro cultures were successfully used. Tests of callus induction were carried out on ten media containing BA (0.04-8.0 μM) and Picloram or 2,4-D (4.0–8.0 μM). The greatest amounts of embryogenic callus developed on media containing 2,4-D and also when the incubation period in darkness was prolonged. Embryos matured on media with reduced content of auxins [Picloram or 2,4-D (0.8 μM or 0.08 μM) and BA (0.8 μM)] and germinated on hormone-free media. Cytometric analysis of the callus and plants obtained from somatic embryos showed that DNA content differed from that of the mother plants, but acclimatized marsh gentians contained the same amount of DNA as donor plants.

Gentiana pneumonanthe L. (fam. Gentianaceae) is a herbaceous perennial growing on wet heathlands, grasslands and hay meadows of Europe and Asia. Like other Gentiana species, G. pneumonanthe is characterized by the production of bitter secoiridoid glycosides (SGs) widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. Hairy roots (HRs) of G. pneumonanthe, as an alternative source of these phytochemicals, h...

Induction of somatic embryogenesis in absence of exogenous auxin can clarify some basic concepts of somatic embryogenesis. Explants from leaf and petiole of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) were used in this experiment for somatic embryogenesis using three different modified B5 basal media; boron and 2,4-D but no IAA as control (I), boron and IAA but no 2,4-D (II) and no boron, 2,4-D and IAA (III). ...

Somatic embryogenesis was initiated in C. sativus L. from shoot meristems on LS medium containing BAP (2×10-5 M)+NAA (2×10-5 M). Various stages of somatic embryogenesis were observed in the same medium and the development was asynchronous. Somatic embryo development proceeded through well recognized sequences (globular to embryoids) with clearly discernible bipolar regions. Matured embryos coul...

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...
