The Effects of Using Trehalose as a Carbon Source on the Proliferation of Phalaenopsis and Doritaenopsis Protocorm-Like-Bodies

Abstract

In this communication, the effects of trehalose and culture system on protocorm-like body (PLB) growth were investigated. PLB derived from Phalaenopsis and Doritaenopsis cultivars, which were grown on solidified trehalose amended NP medium showed higher proliferation rate than on NP medium containing sucrose. For P. 'Hwa Feng Red Jewel' and Dtp. 'Mount BeautyÂSu's Red Lip', the proliferation rates on solidified trehalose media were almost two times higher than those on sucrose media after 8-week culture. However, Knudson C (KC) medium did not reveal the similar results between trehalose and sucrose. In liquid culture system, both trehalose amended NP and KC media brought about better results than sucrose containing media for PLB proliferation. For culture system test, solidified media showed higher proliferation rate than liquid media under the same medium composition. Roller bottles were more suitable than flask-shaking cultures in liquid systems for PLB proliferation.

Efficient micropropagation of Dendrobium sonia-28 for rapid PLBs proliferation

“…Culture system has a significant impact on the proliferation of PLBs of Phalaenopsis and Doritaenopsis (Liu et al, 2006). Liquid system is continuously shaken on automated rotator or roller type bioreactors to supply plantlets with ample oxygen for optimum respiration and equal nutrient distribution for enhanced nutrient uptakes (Kanjilal et al, 1999;Mehrotra et al, 2007).…”

“…Pertumbuhan embrio berkecambah makin bertambah (Liu et al 2006). Sementara dalam embriogenesis, P. aphrodite memiliki kemampuan embriogenesis lebih baik dibanding P. amabilis, P. gigantea, P. hieroglyphica, P. phillipinensis, P. schilleriana, P. stuartiana, dan P. bellina ), dan P .…”

Comparative study of effects of table sugar, laboratory grade sucrose and mannitol on growth of banana plantlets under in vitro conditions

“…The optimization of medium composition is an important approach to hasten the micropropagation process and improve the quality of regenerated plantlets through culture of cells, tissues and organs (LIU et al, 2006). These cultures require a carbohydrate supply in order to satisfy the energy demand (DE PAIVA NETO and OTONI, 2003).…”
