Dual culture of sugarcane downy mildew fungus (Sclerospora sacchari Miyake) was established by placing a diseased sugarcane explant (shoot apex or spindle leaf) on a modified Murashige and Skoog medium containing 3 ppm 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. After 3 weeks incubation, dense mycelia grew both on and in the callus which had developed. The use of different varieties or illumination periods did not affect the growth of the fungus. The hyphae ceased to grow when the infected callus was subcultured. A workable procedure was devised which enabled the hyphae to proliferate on a healthy tissue when diseased tissue was placed near it. Explants excised from either resistant or susceptible varieties could nurse the growth of the fungus, indicating that resistant genes may not be expressed in tissue culture. Histological studies revealed that the callus originated from mesophyll cells in leaf and parenchymatous cells of shoot apical tissue. Intercellular and intracellular hyphae were more concentrated in the peripheral layer of parenchymatous cells than in the meristemoid region. Carbohydrate callose accumulated on the hyphal walls and cell walls of the callus wherever hyphae were growing.

Lemon pistil explants were obtained by cutting just above the region of the hypogynous disc (A type explant) or at the base of the pistil (B type explant) and cultured on test medium containing Murashige and Skoog salts, 50 g sucrose/L, 100 mg myo-inositol/L, 5 mg thiamine–HCl/L, and 0.5 mg kinetin/L, plus or minus supplements. Under appropriate conditions an abscission zone formed and styles abscised after 6–8 days of culture; in the field stylar abscission occurred 12–15 days postanthesis. Abscission in A type explants was markedly inhibited by 9 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid but was unaffected by indole-3-acetic, 1-naphthaleneacetic, gibberellic, abscisic, caffeic, or p-coumaric acids. The response to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was reduced in B type explants. In an atmosphere containing 35–200 ppm ethylene, cell division occurred in the zone of stylar abscission producing a proliferating callus, and the content of cellulase increased from 0.6 to 53.7 enzyme units/g fresh weight compared with fresh explants. Stylar abscission was inhibited by 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in A type explants of Washington navel orange, Valencia orange, and mandarin pistils, but not of grapefruit pistils. B type explants of Washington navel orange and mandarin pistils were less responsive to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid.

In the present study, seeds from local cultivar of fennel were germinated on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) without plant growth regulators. Different types of explants from the growing seedling such as cotyledonal leaves, hypocotyls, epicotyls and roots were cultured on MS medium, contained different concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) either alone or with kinetin. Differential responses in the essential oil constituents were observed in the induction and development of callus. The major components of essential oils includes estragole, trans-anethole, limonene and fenchone were studied under different conditions to find out the best methods which could be used to reduce the amount of estragole (not favorite for human consumption) and increase the amount of trans-anethole.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during stress responses are implicated in a number of cellular responses including morphogenesis. The present study was undertaken to study the changes in antioxidative enzymes during in vitro morphogenesis of groundnut from de-embryonated cotyledon explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog?s medium supplemented with 5.0 mg l-1 benzyl-adenine and 2.0 mg l-1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. During the early in vitro ontogenic stages of groundnut, the activity of peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) increased from stage 0 (0 day) to stage II (14 days) and decreased during stage III (25 days) and stage IV (45 days). The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) showed an inverse trend. The results could be correlated with the acquisition of competence, de-differentiation, division and induction which occurred during shoot organogenesis. Histological studies also showed that the mode of in vitro morphogenesis from the groundnut explants was via shoot organogenesis. In light of the above study, it could be concluded that the change in activity of the antioxidative enzymes studied could be used as a marker to characterize the mode of plant regeneration.

In this study, a protocol to induce high amount of friable callus of Boerhaavia paniculata RICH and a lipidomics technique were applied to investigate the profile of lipids to relate to those present in the roots of this plant that presented anti-inflammatory activity in the crude hexane extract. The callus culture was induced from seeds in solidified Murashige and Skoog medium containing different amounts of glucose and different concentrations of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The explants were kept in a germination chamber at 30±2°C with a photoperiod of 16 h under light intensity of 27 µmol m–2 s–1 for 4 weeks. The best results for friable callus formation and development of the biomass were obtained in the treatment containing 2.26 µM 2.4-D and glucose (1.5 %; w/v). Lipidomics techniques were applied in hexane fraction showing higher concentrations of the steroids β-sitosterol (3.53 mg/100 g dc–dry cells), and fatty acids, especially 2-hydroxy-tetracosanoic acid (0.34 mg/100 g dc), eicosanoic acid (86.25 mg/100 g dc), stearic acid (420.83 mg/100 g dc), tetradecanoic acid (10.74 mg/100 g dc) and linoleic acid (100.61 mg/100 g dc). The lipid profile of callus versus that found in the roots of wild plant is described in this work.

Somatic embryogenesis was induced from internodal callus of `Scania', `Improved White Sim', and `Sandra' carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.). The optimum protocol for the induction of somatic embryogenesis included initiation of callus in liquid basal Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 3.0 μm 2,4-D followed by transfer to liquid basal medium lacking 2,4-D for embryo development. Somatic embryos originated from single cells and early embryonic development proceeded conventionally (i.e., via globular, heart-shaped, and torpedo stages), but clearly developed apical or root meristems were not always formed. A few embryos developed into seedlings and were acclimatized to ex vitro conditions. Chemical name used: 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D).

Further studies on the binding of pectin methylesterase (PME) to cell wall preparations are described. The PME of extracts of wall preparations from artichoke tubers was separated into three fractions, A, B, and O. Two similar fractions (A and 0) were obtained from tobacco pith wall preparations. The amount of fraction A type PME which could be adsorbed to wall preparations was increased by the addition of 2,4.dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4.D), but not by calcium ions. Neither 2,4.D nor calcium increased the adsorption of fraction B, but calcium and not 2,4�D increased the amount of fraction 0 adsorbed to the wall preparations.

In vitro culture of immature inflorescences of F1 hybrid plants originating from the cross between the common wheat cultivar Roazon and two inbred lines of rye was carried out with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in the medium. After 3 or 8 weeks of culture as undifferentiated callus, 62 plants could be regenerated. Of these, 47 reached the adult stage; 46 of which were analysed for chromosome counts and chromosome pairing. For 44 of these, chromosome counts showed high stability and phenotypes were similar to those of the mother plants. In vitro culture of immature inflorescences could therefore be considered as a possible vegetative multiplication method to obtain numerous copies from one individual. The three other plants exhibited variations in phenotype and chromosome number: one was an amphiploid, and a chromosome was lost in each of the other two. All meristematic cells and pollen mother cells were involved in these numerical changes for each plant. The amphiploid plant (2n = 56) was nonchimeric and all the spikes were highly self-fertile. It could be an efficient method for chromosome doubling. This underscores the usefulness of inflorescence tissue culture for overcoming the sterility barrier in interspecific hybrids.Key words: wheat × rye hybrids, tissue culture, amphiploidization, aneuploidy, meiotic behaviour.
