AbstractWild cotton species can contribute a valuable gene pool for the genetic improvement of cultivated tetraploid cultivars. But the obstacle is the reproductive isolation of different species. Somatic embryogenesis offers a temporary status for genetic manipulation such as somatic hybridization. The present studies aimed at optimizing the conditions for regeneration of wild species of cotton. Callus were successfully induced from hypocotyls ofGossypium tomentosum(C1genome) andGossypium darwinii(D5genome) on MSB5(MS salts and B5vitamins) medium supplemented with 0.01mg/L 2, 4-D (2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), 0.01mg/L KT (kinetin), 0.01mg/L IAA (3-indoleacetlc acid) and 0.60mg/L 2, 4-D, 0.25mg/L KT, respectively. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) combinations, adding high inorganic salt stress, and carbohydrate were used to induce embryogenic callus from nonembryogenic callus. Embryogenic cultures were induced from the two cotton species. Based on studying the effect of PGRs, nitrogen sources, molysite, CuSO4and pH value on somatic embryogenesis (SE), we obtained somatic embryogenesis in theG. tomentosumon the medium with 0.1 mg/L 2, 4-D, 0.1 mg/L KT while deprivation of KNO3. The result gives out new exploration on somatic embryogenesis in cotton to create new germplasm sources.

Uptake and metabolism of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) into zygotic embryos of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) were studied on medium used for induction of somatic embryogenesis. The main task of this work was to study effect of longitudinal bisection of embryos, which was found as increasing the subsequent induction of embryogenic cultures. The maximal uptake of 2,4-D per one embryo was detected after 16 hours on medium in bisected embryos. The bisection increased 2,4-D uptake per embryo in first 16th hours, but then increased its release back to the medium. The metabolism of 2,4-D in bisected embryos was lower than in intact ones during first two days of culture.

AbstractSomatic embryogenesis (SE) was successfully induced from mature zygotic embryos of seven families of Picea likiangensis (Franch.) Pritz after 20 weeks culture on initiation medium. Three basal media (one-half strength LM medium, one-half strength LP medium and improved LP medium) with different concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) were tested but only one-half strength LM medium supplemented with 2,4-D and 6-BA was successful for the embryogenic cultures (EC) initiation. The initiation frequencies of EC varied greatly from different families when culturing on the same initiation medium. The highest frequency (41.3%) was induced from one of the families on one-half strength LM medium supplemented with 3 mg L−1 2,4-D and 1.5 mg L−1 6-BA and 16.83% on average for seven families. EC were subcultured and proliferated on the same medium as the initiation one every 10 days. 3 lines of EC induced from the same family were applied in maturation experiment. Cotyledonary somatic embryos were observed after EC were transferred to maturation media of one-half strength LM medium containing 20-80 mg L−1 abscisic acid and 7.5% polyethylene glycol (PEG-4000). However, one-half strength LM medium supplemented with 40 mg L−1 or 60 mg L−1 ABA and 7.5% PEG gave the best maturation and the 3 lines showed different ability in maturation. Over 80% cotyledonary somatic embryos germinated normally on DCR medium containing 0.2% activated carbon. The success on SE induction of the species has provided an effective clonal propagation method for this important tree’s genetic improvement.

The induction of plant somatic embryogenesis is often a limiting step for plant multiplication and genetic manipulation in numerous crops. It depends on multiple signaling developmental processes involving phytohormones and the induction of specific genes. The WUSCHEL gene (WUS) is required for the production of plant embryogenic stem cells. To explore a different approach to induce somatic embryogenesis, we have investigated the effect of the heterologous ArabidopsisWUS gene overexpression under the control of the jasmonate responsive vsp1 promoter on the morphogenic responses of Medicago truncatula explants. WUS expression in leaf explants increased callogenesis and embryogenesis in the absence of growth regulators. Similarly, WUS expression enhanced the embryogenic potential of hairy root fragments. The WUS gene represents thus a promising tool to develop plant growth regulator-free regeneration systems or to improve regeneration and transformation efficiency in recalcitrant crops.

Somatic embryogenesis was induced in callus previously initiated from immature embryos of barley. These cultures ranged in age from 6 weeks to 30 months. Embryoids were readily initiated from homogenized suspension-grown aggregates when plated on modified B5 media with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Low concentrations (0.1 and 0.05 mg∙L−1) of abscisic acid promoted further maturation of embryoids, while gibberellic acid (1 mg∙L−1) and kinetin (0.1 mg∙L−1) were used in the media to encourage embryoid germination. The development of somatic embryoids from initiation through maturation and germination is described.

Abstract Cotton is an important textile crop whose gains in production over the last century have been challenged by various diseases. Because many modern cultivars are susceptible to several pests and pathogens, breeding efforts have included attempts to introgress wild, naturally resistant germplasm into elite lines. Gossypium stocksii is a wild cotton species native to Africa, which is part of a clade of vastly understudied species. Most of what is known about this species comes from pest resistance surveys and/or breeding efforts, which suggests that G. stocksii could be a valuable reservoir of natural pest resistance. Here we present a high-quality de novo genome sequence for G. stocksii. We compare the G. stocksii genome with resequencing data from a closely related, understudied species (G. somalense) to generate insight into the relatedness of these cotton species. Finally, we discuss the utility of the G. stocksii genome for understanding pest resistance in cotton, particularly resistance to cotton leaf curl virus.

Somatic embryogenesis was carried out epicotyl portion of the mature embryo/apical portion. The somatic embryo induction medium containing 2,4-D or NAA (10.0 to 50.0 mg/l). Of the two concentrations tested 2,4-D (30.0mg/l) recorded the highest percentage of response followed by NAA (30.0mg/l). But the highest number of somatic embryo were recorded in 30.0mg/l of 2,4-D followed by NAA. The apical portion of the mature embryo formed direct embryos without any intervention of callus. The maximum percentage of embryogenic cultures were noticed in 30.0mg/l of 2,4-D followed by NAA at 30.0mg/l. for the differentiation of somatic embryos, the embryogenic masses were transferred to medium without any growth regulator. The maximum number of somatic embryos per culture was recorded in 30 mg/l of 2,4-D followed by 30.0 mg/l of NAA. Keywords: Arachis hypogaea L.,Somatic Embryogenesis, 2,4-D and NAA

Huge amounts of feathers are discarded as wastage, and it has always been environmentally concerned as they are difficult to destroy. Feather establishes over 90% protein, which gives it a rigid structure. Biotechnological techniques can help to degrade the feathers and use as biofertilizer. The best strategy is by utilizing keratinase producing keratinolytic microorganisms from the poultry waste to deteriorate the feathers. The poultry sample was collected at the local poultry farm. Using skimmed milk agar, enriched proteolytic bacteria were isolated, and the colony morphology assessed. The isolated bacteria were assessed for keratinolytic ability by using carbon and nitrogen sources. Liquid protein hydrolysate (LPH) was prepared and added as fertilizer to determine the growth effect on Capsicum annum. The antibacterial and antioxidant activity was assessed. The isolated Proteus sp. from the poultry waste has the ability to disintegrate the feathers completely on the 10th day. The enzymatic activity from Proteus sp. was observed increased with the presence of fructose (1.435 U/mL) and yeast extract (2.045 U/mL). The optimum temperature was at 40 °C (0.664 U/mL), pH value 7 (0.871 U/mL), and feather concentration at 1.5% (1.2 U/mL). LPH promoted the growth of Capsicum annum and increased total chlorophyll content (5.7341mg/g) in test plants. The antimicrobial activity displayed that Escherichia coli is susceptible to LPH, and also increased antioxidant activity was demonstrated in the test plants. Thus, the addition of liquid protein hydrolysate exhibited that it has the capability to aid plant development.

The recognition of apoptosis (programmed cell death) as an accompaniment of normal development, the products released by the protoplasts undergoing self-destruction being utilized by adjacent living cells, stimulates renewed interest in Haberlandt's concept of "necrohormones" playing a role in apomictic reproduction. Recent work on somatic embryogenesis in carrot shows that regular death of certain cells in embryogenic cultures satifies the criteria of apoptosis. Similar observations have been made with embryogenic cultures of <em>Picea abies</em>. Haberlandt's claim that cell death induced by injury adjacent to an ovule in <em>Oenothera</em> could lead to parthenogenesis, despite conflicting evidence from later experimenters, is worthy of reexamination.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen sources and rates on the physicochemical characteristics and yield of tomato plants. Forty hybrids were cultivated at 100 and 400 kg ha-1 of N, combined with four sources (urea, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate and calcium), plus a treatment without N application in a randomized complete block design four replicates. Size, stem diameter, number of leaves, SPAD (Soil Plant Analysis Development), leaf nitrogen, number of fruits / plants, fruit firmness, bark thickness and average fruit size, ° BRIX, pH, calcium, potassium and sodium in fruits. There was an increase in SPAD index, Brix and longitudinal diameter of fruits as a function of the N dose. The use of ammonium nitrate and calcium provided stronger fruits. Urea and ammonium nitrate provided the highest pH value in tomato fruits. The application of the 100 kg ha-1 dose of N resulted in the highest potassium content in fruits. The highest productivity was obtained with the application of sources containing ammonium and the lowest in the control treatment. Sources and doses of nitrogen fertilizers influenced growth, productivity and parameters related to tomato quality.
