The present study aims to explore the regeneration potential of Moroccan cork oak through the secondary somatic embryogenesis process. Particularly, we focus on the analysis of amino acids influence on the quantity and quality of the regenerated secondary embryos. The amino acids tested are: Glutamine, asparagine, arginine, tryptophane, methionine, casein hydrolysate and urea. Each amino acid is added in the Margara (N30K) medium at different concentrations ranged between 10 and 500 mg/l. The results are collected after 2 months of culture. First analysis shows that the glutamine and the casein hydrolysate gives a maximum number of somatic embryos, clusters and pre-embryos newly formed on the clusters. By comparison to the control medium, the increase of the secondary embryos number directly formed exceed 36% in the case of casein hydrolysate and 35% of in the case of glutamine both at the concentration of 30 mg/l. However, the test of the combination of these amino acids did not have any significant results. In terms of quality, the influence of amino acids on the morphology of secondary embryos was analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
