Yemets AI, Klimkina LA, Tarassenko LV, Blume YB: Efficient callus formation and plant regeneration of goosegrass [Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn.]. Plant Cell Rep. 2003 Feb;21(6):503-10. Epub 2002 Dec 14.
Efficient methods in totipotent callus formation, cell suspension culture establishment and whole-plant regeneration have been developed for the goosegrass [ Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn.] and its dinitroaniline-resistant biotypes. The optimum medium for inducing morphogenic calli consisted of N6 basal salts and B5 vitamins supplemented with 1-2 mg l (-1) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2 mg l (-1) glycine, 100 mg l (-1) asparagine, 100 mg l (-1) casein hydrolysate, 30 g l (-1) sucrose and 0.6% agar, pH 5.7. The presence of organogenic and embryogenic structures in these calli was histologically documented. Cell suspension cultures derived from young calli were established in a liquid medium with the same composition. Morphogenic structures of direct shoots and somatic embryos were grown into rooted plantlets on medium containing MS basal salts, B5 vitamins, 1 mg l (-1) kinetin (Kn) and 0.1 mg l (-1) indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 3% sucrose, 0.6% agar, pH 5.7. Calli derived from the R-biotype of E. indica possessed a high resistance to trifluralin (dinitroaniline herbicide) and cross-resistance to a structurally non-related herbicide, amiprophosmethyl (phosphorothioamidate herbicide), as did the original resistant plants. Embryogenic cell suspension culture was a better source of E. indica protoplasts than callus or mesophyll tissue. The enzyme solution containing 1.5% cellulase Onozuka R-10, 0.5% driselase, 1% pectolyase Y-23, 0.5% hemicellulase and N (6) mineral salts with an additional 0.2 M KCl and 0.1 M CaCl (2) (pH 5.4-5.5) was used for protoplast isolation. The purified protoplasts were cultivated in KM8p liquid medium supplemented with 2 mg l (-1) 2,4-D and 0.2 mg l (-1) Kn. |
