Roots of the bracken fern (Pteridium aquilium) isolated from a sexual sporeling have been successfully cultured in vitro. Initial studies were directed toward a definition of growth conditions and media. The roots are now cultured in a very simple medium consisting of a Knudson mineral salt solution with added minor elements and 1.5% sucrose, at an initial pH of 5.5. A striking response leading eventually to the formation of laterals was observed when indoleacetic acid was added to the medium. After prolonged culture, without transfer, some of the stock cultures on basal medium gave rise to gametophytes through the process of apospory.

A method for rapid micropropagation of sea kale (Crambe maritima L.) was developed. Petiole explants placed in vitro on a medium containing 0.5 mg/L indoleacetic acid (IAA), 6.0 mg/L kinetin, and 1.5 mg/L benzylaminopurine developed callus within 15 days and shoots within 28 days. Nearly four adventitious shoots could be developed within 3 weeks by placing the initial shoot on media without IAA. To develop roots, the shoots were then transferred to the basal medium containing 0.1 to 1.0 mg/L indolbutyric or α-naphthaleneacetic acid. Rooted plantlets were obtained within 2 or 3 weeks. After an acclimatization period of 6 weeks in a greenhouse in unsterilized medium, the plantlets could be set outdoors.

Multiplication and elongation of shoot cultures established from mature trees of hazelnut cvs. Nonpareil and Tonda Gentile Romana were affected by changes in basal medium, carbon source and concentration, cytokinin and agar concentration. Explants on DKW medium produced significantly more shoots than those on Anderson medium or modified woody plant medium for chestnut. Explants on DKW medium with 3% glucose or fructose gave more and longer shoots than those with the other carbon sources. Cytokinins 6 benzylaminopurine (BA) and zeatin were more effective in producing shoots than kinetin and 2iP. On BA supplemented medium, the best multiplication rate was obtained with 1.5 - 2.0 mg/l. Explants grown on 0.4% agar produced more shoots than those on 0.6%, however, prolonged culture on 0.4% agar caused vitrification of lower parts of the plants. Shoot multiplication rates of these two cultivars were similar, but `Nonpareil' produced longer shoots than `Tonda Gentile Romana'.

Simple Medium

Anther culture has been one of the most successful techniques for generating haploid plants over a wide range of species. It is a reasonably simple procedure that can be accomplished successfully without sophisticated laboratory facilities; yet, the plants generated through anther culture can be used to demonstrate the application of many modern methods that have direct applicability to plant breeding. Anthers of diploid potato clones that have been selected for competence in anther culture can be cultured in a simple medium to yield androgenic embryos after 5 weeks. Plant regeneration requires an additional 3 to 4 weeks. Regenerated plants should be large enough 2 weeks after transfer to basal medium for ploidy determination by any of three methods depending on available facilities: chromosome counts in root tips; chloroplast counts in stomatal guard cells; or flow cytometry of nuclei released from in vitro plantlets. DNA can be extracted from anther-derived plantlets using a rapid extraction procedure to demonstrate segregation of PCR (polymerase chain reaction)-based markers such as RAPD (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA), RAMPs (randomly amplified microsatellite polymorphisms), or microsatellites. Microsatellite markers that were heterozygous in the anther donor can be used to verify haploidy in anther-derived plants. If an anther culture laboratory is scheduled early in a semester, such molecular analysis can be planned for late in the same semester.

A nodal segment culture was developed in order to assess Solanum torvum Sw. regeneration and solasodine levels. The influence of auxins (indoleacetic acid, 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid) and benzyl adenine on S. torvum growth in micropropagation was investigated. A nodal segment culture was initiated with seeds germinated in MS basal medium added of GA3 and grown in different concentrations of IAA, IAA + BAP and NAA + BAP. Sixty-day-old plants from the in vitro culture were collected, frozen and lyophilized; then, the methyl orange method was used to quantify solasodine for the spectrophotometric assay. The best results regarding plant regeneration and solasodine accumulation were obtained by using the MS basal medium without addition of plant growth regulators; however, there was great production of calluses presenting friable bases. Based on these results, cell cultures can be initiated from such calluses with application of other auxins and cytokinins to enhance solasodine production, besides different elicitors, light intensities and sucrose concentrations.

The recent climate projections predict that the intensity and frequency of extreme events will increase as a result of overall increasing mean temperature and reduced precipitations in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. How these changes will influence the harshness of the environment and the performances of trees growing under natural conditions remains an open question. In this commentary article, we would like to look at the concept of suboptimal growth conditions, widening its application from the traditional in vitro manipulation to trees growing in open air, addressing the main limitations and strengths of the upscaling results from cell to tree. We believe that the traditional single dose–effect approach is not suitable to explain the complex interactions between genotype and environment, occurring in open field or forest stands, where the intensity and frequency of the events are uncontrolled and unpredictable. As forests provide a wide range of ecosystem services, new parameters should be considered in the definition of the response thresholds in addition to growth. Thus, within this Special Issue, we stimulate the discussion over the development of new approaches and technologies that are able to define suitable threshold responses of trees under suboptimal natural conditions, with the aim to furnish new insights on the acclimation and adaptation processes in woody species under global change.

Explants of actively growing shoot tips from greenhouse-grown plants of Viburnum opulus ‘Nanum’ initiated new shoots on a modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) revised medium plus 0.1 mg/L indoleacetic acid (IAA). These shoots were transferred for proliferation to the same medium, but with 1 mg/L 6-benzylamino purine (BA) replacing IAA and the addition of 2.5 mg/L 2-iso-pentenyladenine (2iP). Both adenine sulfate AdS) and NaH2PO4.H2O inhibited shoot proliferation, while gibberellic acid (GA3) and glycine had no effect. The shoots could be rooted either in the basal medium without cytokinin or in vermiculite under mist.

Antioxidant is an interesting topic due to their capability to inhibit free radical and prevent damage because of oxidative processes. Endophyt fungi is one of antioxidant compound resources in nature. The low yield to gain antioxidant compound from fungi challenges to look for the composition of media and optimalization of growth conditions. This research aimed to know the effect of medium condition in different carbon and nitrogen sources as well as initial pH towards antioxidant activity of endophyt fungi Bo.Ci.Cl.A3. Shaker fermentation was used on 120 rpm at room temperature for 14 days. The carbon sources were glucose, sucrose, and starch and nitrogen sources were NaNO3, NH4NO3, and yeast extract with initial pH at 5, 7, and 9. Ethyl acetate was used as extractor. The results showed that endophyt fungi can produce secondary metabolite as antioxidant at all variation of fermented media. The nitrogen source of yeast extract could increase antioxidant activity of endophyt fungi Bo.Ci.Cl.A3, while other sources such as nitrogen source, carbon sources, and different initial pH on the basal medium that were used did not give increasing antioxidant activity. The conclusion of this research was the substitution of nitrogen source with yeast extract (3 g/L) on the basal medium Czapek Dox’s Broth could increase antioxidant activity of endophyt fungi Bo.Ci.Cl.A3.

AbstractThree different Fusarium culmorum strains having a pathogenic, a deleterious (deleterious rhizosphere microorganism), or a promoting (plant growth promoting fungus) effect on plant growth were studied for their ability to synthesize in vitro the phytohormones indoleacetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA), and ethylene. All the phytohormones tested were synthesized in cultures supplemented with wide concentration ranges of glucose and tryptophan or methionine (precursors of phytohormone synthesis). The amounts of these secondary metabolites synthesized by the particular strains were found to be significantly different. The non-pathogenic PGPF strain (DEMFc2) synthesized the highest amounts of IAA and GA, a fact that could be responsible for the growth-promoting properties of this strain. A pathogenic strain synthesized the highest amount of ethylene, which could be responsible for the negative effect of this strain on plant growth. F. culmorum isolates with a high capacity for IAA synthesis also have a high capacity for GA synthesis and irrespective of the growth conditions, a high positive correlation (R > 0.9) between the concentrations of synthesized IAA and GA in F. culmorum cultures was found. It is worth mentioning that the optimal conditions for the growth of F. culmorum isolates and the synthesis of the individual phytohormones differed from one another. The optimal growth conditions were 1.0% of glucose and 9.9 mM of methionine or 6.0 mM of tryptophan. The optimal conditions for ethylene synthesis were 0.5% of glucose and 6.6 mM of methionine, whereas 1.0% of glucose and 9.0 mM of tryptophan were optimal for IAA and GA synthesis.

An efficient in vitro mass propagation and promising protocol has been successfully standardized and developed for Coleus forskohlii through direct organogenesis from nodal explants. Nodal explants cultured onto MS basal medium supplemented with 4.44 μM BAP recorded the highest response and produced 24.3 ± 0.2 shoots per explant with an average shoot length 5.6 ± 0.4 cm after 30 days of culture. The in vitro shoots recorded higher response for development of rooting on half strength MS fortified with 2.46 μM IBA which produced the best response 7.8 ± 0.6 roots per in vitro shoot with an average root length of 4.3 ± 0.1 cm after 25 days. The in vitro rooted plantlets were transferred for hardening and 90% of the plantlets survived were successfully acclimatized and established in small plastic pots. This protocol recorded to be a highly repeatable, successful and rapid technique that could be utilized for the commercial mass propagation and ex situ conservation of Coleus forskohlii. It is important to note that the morphology of the in vitro plantlets of Coleus forskohlii showed a true-to-type growth habit, both in vitro and when transferred to ex vitro growth conditions.
