Histological analysis of somatic embryogenesis induced in leaf explants ofHelianthus smithii Heiser

Abstract: Summary. According to the hormonal conditions, after one month of culture shoots or somatic embryos could be obtained from leaf explants of Helianthus smithii. Well-shaped embryos developed on media containing a combination of auxin and cytokinin, while on media containing only cytokinin shoots were observed. The primary leaves of these shoots resembled cotyledons. A detailed histological study of the regeneration process on three media, containing only cytokinin or auxin, or a combination of both, allowed the… Show more

“…Similar to this research, explants with more differentiated tissues than meristems like scutellum of embryo were used to induce direct somatic embryogenesis pathway in seven cereal species (Eudes et al 2003). It has been proven that globular somatic embryos originate from the epidermal and subepidermal cells of the explant (Laparra et al 1997;Quiroz-Figueroa et al 2002;Petitprez et al 2005), while shoot organogenesis derives from meristematic shoot initials at different anatomical layers (Zhang et al 1998;de Almeida et al 2006;Veit 2006). Co-induction of direct shoot organogenesis and direct somatic embryogenesis pathways on different parts of a single explant, in response to the same hormonal cues, clearly shows the vital effect of the site in response to hormone.…”

“…When the media transfer was performed in the opposite direction (0-5 to A-I), the response of the explants was (Laparra et al, 1997;Vasil et al, 1985). The result of these two processes is indistinguishable.…”

“…Such embryos were also described for Helianthus smithii Heiser (Laparra et al 1997), Cicer arietinum L. (Shri & Davis 1992), Sorghum (Thomas et al 1972. Laparra (1997) and Thomas (1972) interpreted them as an aborted somatic embryo, probably due to the low levels of auxin, insufficient for the establishment of the root pole.…”

“…In this system, proembryos were observed as early as two days after culture initiation. Studies on somatic embryo development of other species reported significantly longer periods for embryo or embryogenic callus formation, most of them longer than ten days (Ozias-Akins & Vasil 1982, van Hengel et al 1998, Bespalhok Filho & Hattori 1997, Hutchinson et al 1996, Ho & Vasil 1983, Sagare et al 1995, Laparra et al 1997, Guerra & Handro 1998 and some of them reaching up to 40-60 days (Schwendiman et al 1988, Thomas et al 1972.…”
