Increased Survival and Differentiation of Frozen Herbaceous Plant Organ Cultures through Cold Treatment.

چکیده
Cold treatment of donor carnation plants (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) at 4 C for 3 days or more resulted in a doubling in the percentage of excised, frozen shoot apices which survived freezing and a 6- to 7-fold increase in the percentage which formed leaf primordia or shoots. The optimal freezing parameters for both survival and differentiation were as follows: size of the shoot apex-two to three sets of leaf primordia; dimethylsulfoxide concentration in the freezing solution-5%; time in dimethylsulfoxide prior to freezing->30 minutes; average cooling rate->/=50 C/minute; initial warming rate-about 1450 C/minute. In general, the cells in the meristematic region of the shoot apex remained viable after freezing while those in the leaf primordia did not. Viability of the meristematic cells appears to be maintained by preventing the growth of intracellular ice crystals formed during rapid cooling by rapidly passing the tissue through the temperature zone in which lethal crystal growth occurs (mechanism of Luyet). Applications of this technique are discussed.

The present experiment was aimed to evaluate the freezing tolerance of two cold tolerant (MCC426 and MCC252) and a cold susceptible (MCC505) chickpea genotypes. The study was carried out in a split-plot factorial design with three replications. Factorial arrangement of genotype and acclimation (acclimation and non acclimation) were imposed as main plot and temperatures (0, -4, -8, -12, 16, -20º...
متن کاملMitigation of chilling and freezing stresses through colonization with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in spring barley
Cold stress is an important limiting factor for cereal production. Barley is a host species for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) with a high genetic diversity in response to cold stress. In order to explore the mechanisms for the ameliorative effect of AMF under cold stress, an experiment was undertaken using completely randomized block design with three factors including temperature treatme...

Background: Linum album, a herbaceous and medicinal plant, has been shown to accumulate anti-tumor podophyllotoxin (PTOX) and related lignans. Objective: In this study, we have verified the time-course of cell growth, lignan production in cells treated with chitosan and chitin oligomers. To study mechanism of chitosan and chitin oligomers action, expression of phenylalanine ammonio-lyase (PAL)...

In biotechnology has been concentrated to review alternative routes for the production of natural compounds. Plant cell culture systems are viable alternatives for the production of secondary metabolites that are of commercial importance in food and pharmaceutical industries. However, relatively very few cultures synthesize these compounds over extended periods in amounts comparable to those fo...
