Plant regeneration from suspension cells induced from hypocotyls derived from interspecific cross Alstroemeria pelegrina×A. magenta and transformation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Plant regeneration from suspension cells induced from hypocotyls derived from interspecific cross... Embryogenic cell suspension cultures were established using the ovule culture of an interspecific cross, Alstroemeria pelegrina var. rosea × A. magenta. Ovules harvested 14 days after pollination were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium without plant growth regulators (PGRs); calli were produced on the hypocotyl surface in germinating zygotic embryos. Suspension cells were induced from the calli by using liquid MS media containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropyridine-2-carboxylic acid (picloram). Adventitious embryos developed from the suspension cells on half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l−1 of both α-naphthaleneacetic acid and N6-benzylaminopurine; they grew into plantlets on the same medium. The plantlets formed rhizomes following transfer to half-strength MS medium without PGRs, and acclimatized plants were easily established. Subsequently, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system was applied. The suspension cells were co-cultivated with A. tumefaciens strain EHA101/pIG121Hm or LBA4404/pTOK233, both of which contain neomycin phosphotransferase II, hygromycin phosphotransferase and intron-containing ß-glucuronidase (intron-GUS) genes. Seven days after co-cultivation, the cells were subjected to GUS assay; staining was most pronounced in the cells subcultured in a picloram-containing liquid medium and co-cultivated with EHA101/pIG121Hm. The co-cultivated cells were transferred to the MS medium containing picloram and 20 mg l−1 hygromycin; 1 month later, several hygromycin-resistant callus lines showing GUS activity were obtained.

Abstract

Embryogenic cell suspension cultures were established using the ovule culture of an interspecific cross, Alstroemeria pelegrina var. rosea × A. magenta. Ovules harvested 14 days after pollination were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium without plant growth regulators (PGRs); calli were produced on the hypocotyl surface in germinating zygotic embryos. Suspension cells were induced from the calli by using liquid MS media containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropyridine-2-carboxylic acid (picloram). Adventitious embryos developed from the suspension cells on half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l−1 of both α-naphthaleneacetic acid and N6-benzylaminopurine; they grew into plantlets on the same medium. The plantlets formed rhizomes following transfer to half-strength MS medium without PGRs, and acclimatized plants were easily established. Subsequently, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system was applied. The suspension cells were co-cultivated with A. tumefaciens strain EHA101/pIG121Hm or LBA4404/pTOK233, both of which contain neomycin phosphotransferase II, hygromycin phosphotransferase and intron-containing ß-glucuronidase (intron-GUS) genes. Seven days after co-cultivation, the cells were subjected to GUS assay; staining was most pronounced in the cells subcultured in a picloram-containing liquid medium and co-cultivated with EHA101/pIG121Hm. The co-cultivated cells were transferred to the MS medium containing picloram and 20 mg l−1 hygromycin; 1 month later, several hygromycin-resistant callus lines showing GUS activity were obtained. Transgenic plants were obtained through our plant regeneration system, and foreign gene insertion into the regenerated plants was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction.
