Abscisic acid and osmotic induction of synchronous somatic embryo development of sweet potato

Abstract: Somatic embryos of sweet potato have potential as synthetic seeds. The effects of abscisic acid (ABA) (0.0, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0 and 50.0 mM) were examined to improve synchrony and proliferation of somatic embryos. Transferring embryonic cultures at day 7 to solid medium with 0.1 or 1.0 mM ABA produced more torpedo and cotyledonary somatic embryos compared to those cultures transferred at day 0. The development of embryos in suspension culture supplemented with ABA was poor. However, when calli proliferation culture… Show more

“…The influence of ABA on somatic embryos maturation has already reported in different plant species (Ackerson 1984, Girija et al 2000, Torres et al 2001, Ramakrishnan et al 2005. However, we report for the first time in mung bean the combination of KNO 3 -, PEG 6000, Pro, and ABA that showed enhanced production of mature embryos (46.5 %) when cultured in half-strength B5 medium.…”

“…At present, the challenge encountered with the production of somatic embryos as 'synthetic seeds' is in the maturation stage (Ara et al 2000). A number of studies have reported effective methods by which to mature somatic embryos, and successful treatments include the addition of osmoticum (Ramarosandratana et al 2001), use of ethylene inhibitors (Mandal et al 2001), supplement of ABA (Torres et al 2001), stress by temporary starvation (Lee et al 2001) and desiccation (Gorbatenko and Hakman 2001).…”

“…An efficient, synchronous SE system is of particular importance for commercial micropropagation and for synthetic seeds production and physiological in vitro studies ( Al-Khayri and Al-Bahrany, 2012 ). Such system has recently been established in suspension culture in many species, i.e., carrots ( Osuga and Komamine, 1994 ), sweet potato ( Torres et al, 2001 ), date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera ) ( Al-Khayri and Al-Bahrany, 2012 ), and Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii ) ( Gupta and Timmis, 2005 ). Cultures grown in the liquid medium have shown characteristics of well dispersion, rapid growth, and good repeatability, and it is easier to realize the synchronous generation of somatic embryos than that on the solid medium ( Song et al, 2018 ).…”
