Callus sieving is effective in improving synchronization and frequency of somatic embryogenesis in Citrus sinensis

Abstract: Somatic embryogenesis has been obtained in many citrus cultivars. However, culture synchronization is yet to be achieved and in the present work we evaluate the effect of desiccation, cold and size of cell clusters on embryo production efficiency from callus cultures of Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck, cv. Valencia. The results showed that sieving was effective in promoting somatic embryo synchronization, whether or not it was followed by cold or desiccation treatments. Histological and histochemical analyses are pr… Show more

“…In contrast, the auxin-free cultures failed to produce callus irrespective of explants used. The loosely aggregated, friable callus mass induced by the intervention of 2,4-D is capable to grow rapidly with high cell proliferation (Souza et al 2011). Due to superior response and high fresh weight, the internode derived calli were selected for further avonoid production experiments.…”

“…As mentioned by Souza et al (2014), friable calluses are distinct from compact calluses, as the former are characterized by loosely aggregated cells, with lower density and the latter are thicker aggregates of cells with higher density. The friable calluses have different cell types with different structural and histochemical characteristics, mainly characterized by the presence of cells in rapidly small growing, isodiametric, with high frequency of cell divisions (Souza et al, 2011). This kind of callus can be used to initiate cell suspension cultures, for the cells can easily disperse in the liquid medium.…”

“…In angiosperms, the same diversity of developmental stages of early stage multiplying embryos can be observed. Owing to the morphology of the somatic embryos, fractionation of sizes by sieving the cultures has been shown to support synchronization in embryo cultures in angiosperms, e.g., in Daucus carota L. (Fujimura and Komamine, 1979), Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck (Souza et al, 2011), and Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl (Tonon et al, 2001). As the early stage embryos of a conifer PEM culture are composed of tightly associated clusters of embryos forming a web of embryonic tissue, fractionation and sieving of different stages of conifer somatic embryos are not effective.…”
