Abstract:

Mammalian estrogens and estrogen-like compounds known as xeno-estrogens are being found in and excreted into the environment in ever increasing amounts. The xeno-estrogen DDE has been found at high concentrations of 1-5 mg/kg of soil (Aislabie et. al, 1997). These estrogens and xeno-estrogens are having a devastating effect on animal-life, yet little is known or understood on the effects of estrogens on plant-life. Thus it is important to determine what effects (if any) estrogens may have on plants. Other research has shown that estrogen has an effect on plants grown in vitro (Janeczko and Skoczowski, 2005). This research aims to help increase the amount of information on what effects estrogens may have on plants. In this study, the effects of mammalian estrogens (17-β-estradiol, estrone and estriol) on the growth and tuberization of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L. cv 'Iwa') grown in liquid tissue culture medium are presented. It was found that at even 0.1 mg/L of estrogen, root growth of the plants was diminished and at 10 mg/L of estrogen, plant deformity was apparent and callus growth induced. Acid phosphatase activity of the plants was increased with the addition of 0.1 mg/L and 1 mg/L of estrogen but then decreased with the addition of 10 mg/L of estrogen. Tuber production was slightly reduced in plants treated with estrogen compared to the control.

Abstract:

Potato is a major part of the human diet in many countries of the world, providing substantial levels of carbohydrate, protein, and vitamins. This study examined the tuber protein content. In the first part of the research, total soluble protein (TSP) and patatin concentration were determined in periderm, cortex, and pith, in tubers of 20 important potato cultivars. TSP concentration was greater in periderm and lesser in cortex and pith tissues. Patatin was present in all tuber tissues but with the opposite pattern, less in periderm and greater in cortex and pith tissues. For intercultivar comparisons, a means of converting the specific tissue-based TSP and patatin data (dry weight) into a uniform weight whole tuber basis was developed. This relied on conversion factor values that were generated from percent weight tissue proportion and percent dry matter for each tissue layer. Cultivars with relatively more or less TSP and patatin in each tissue layer, and on a whole tuber basis, were identified. In the second part of the study, disassembly of chimeral (Russet Burbank) and putatively chimeral (Alpha, Bintje, Red Gold) tubers into their component genotypes was evaluated as a strategy for the production of intraclones with altered protein content. Explants were selected from tissue with greater or lesser protein levels and somatic embryogenesis was used to produce regenerants from each tissue source. Russeting was used as a phenotypic marker and TSP as a biochemical marker. Russet Burbank was confirmed as a periclinal chimera, although chimeral instability was evident, since some non-chimeral regenerants showed displacement of LI tunic cells with the russeting mutation into the pith. Red Gold was "uncovered" as an LII periclinal chimera (Red-Gold-Red). The value of chimeral disassembly in explaining an important component of somatic variation was clearly seen with this cultivar. The inconsistent TSP distribution in Russet Burbank intraclones proved that TSP was not distributed in a periclinal chimeral manner, as initially hypothesized. However, there was clear variation in protein content in the tubers of non-chimeral regenerants. Periclinal chimeral disassembly and somatic embryogenesis are potentially useful technologies for the production of improved intraclones of potato.

Abstract:

This thesis describes the isolation, immobilisation and permeabilisation of Digitalis lanata (foxglove) and Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) plant cells and protoplasts. Protoplasts were isolated from leaves of Digitalis lanata and Nicotiana tabacum and cultured in conditions of varying osmotic potential, illumination and cell density in order to achieve maximum cell stability. The regeneration of cellulose cell walls in Nicotiana tabacum protoplasts could be inhibited by the addition of dilute concentrations of the herbicide 2,6-Dichlorobenzonitrile. At concentrations of 2-10 mg/l in culture medium cell wall regeneration could be prevented for up to 6-8 weeks. Isolated cells and protoplasts were stabilised by entrapment within a beaded agarose support matrix. Nicotiana tabacum protoplasts and cells, immobilised within an agarose beaded support matrix were used to develop a technique to permeabilise and destabilise the cell membranes. Cells or protoplasts pre-loaded with 6-Carboxy-Fluorescein, Neutral Red stains and ¹⁴C-Sucrose or ⁸⁶Rb+ radioactive tracers were employed as markers for cell permeability or leakiness. Efflux or Compartmental analysis was used to determine the influence of various selected permeabilising agents on the integrity and the leakiness of either protoplast or cell membranes. Immobilised protoplasts or cells were subjected to a three - step procedure involving initial loading with ⁸⁶Rb+ tracer, a membrane permeabilisation step and finally a recovery step. Protoplast membrane stability could not be regained after the recovery step, following a 30 minute period of permeabilisation with 50 mM acetic acid in culture medium. Immobilised cells could, however, regain membrane integrity with good intracellular retention of ⁸⁶Rb+ tracer ion during the efflux experiment. Thus, immobilised Nicotiana tabacum cells could be made reversibly permeable with the use of specific agents. It is anticipated that such techniques which encourage reversible permeabilisation of immobilised cells have potential in larger scale plant cell culture systems to effect the release of intracellularly stored, useful secondary metabolites. There are also possibilities for the inclusion of exogenous precursors, cofactors and foreign genetic material which would increase compound yield and may produce novel secondary metabolites.

Abstract:

Thesis (MTech (Agriculture))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2014.
Plants require nitrogen (N) to support desired production levels. Nitrogen fertilization strategy is a major consideration in field management with regard to achieving both economic and environmental objectives. For instance, in potato, insufficient N supply reduces tuber size and overall yield while excessive N supply can reduce tuber quality and increase environmental risk through nitrate (NO3-) leaching and nitrous oxide emission. Selection of an adequate N fertilizer application rate for crops is difficult, due to marked variations in soil N supply and crop N demand in both the field and over time. This research was conducted to characterise the ammonium transporter gene (AMT1) of Bambara groundnut and potato using molecular biology and bioinformatics methods. Nucleotide database sequences were used to design AMT1-specific primers which were used to amplify and sequence the core-region of the gene from Bambara groundnut and potato. Bioinformatics techniques were used to predict the structure and infer properties of the proteins. Nucleotide sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis indicate that BgAMT1 and PoAMT1 are indeed from the AMT1 family, due to the clade and high similarity they respectively shared with other plant AMT1 genes. Amino acid sequence alignment showed that BgAMT1 is 92%, 89% and 87% similar to PvAMT1.1, GlycineAMT1 and LjAMT1.1 respectively, while PoAMT1 is 92%, 83% and 76% similar to LeAMT1.1, LjAMT1.1 and LeAMT1.2 respectively. BgAMT1 and PoAMT1 fragments were shown to correspond to the 5th - 10th transmembrane spanning-domains. Mutation of Bg W1A-L and S28A (for BgAMT1) and Po S70A (for PoAMT1) is predicted to enhance ammonium (NH4+) transport activity. Residues Bg D23 (for BgAMT1) and Po D16 (for PoAMT1) must be preserved otherwise NH4+ transport activity is inhibited. In all, BgAMT1 and PoAMT1 play a role in N uptake from the root while BgAMT1 may contribute more in different steps of rhizobia interaction. In an investigation of the correlation between AMT1 gene expression levels and leaf chlorophyll content index (CCI) with plant N status, potato plants were grown in a hydroponic greenhouse with 0.75 or 7.5 mM NO3- and 0.75 or 7.5 mM NH4+ as forms of N supply in a completely randomized design. Leaf CCI as measured by chlorophyll content meter, showed that an increase in N supply results in increased leaf CCI in response to both forms of N. Total RNA was isolated from leaf sampled at 28 days after treatment and expression level of the AMT1 gene was determined by reverse transcription-qPCR using a second set of primers designed for qPCR. The results showed that expression levels of AMT1 increased from 8.731 ± 2.606 when NO3- supply was high to 24.655 ± 2.93 when NO3- supply was low. However, there was no significant response in AMT1 expression levels to changes in NH4+. This result suggested that AMT1 transports NO3- less efficiently than NH4+, and thus more transport channels are required in the cell membrane when NO3- levels are low. Such variation in AMT1 expression levels are not necessary for NH4+ transport since the transport mechanism for NH4+ is efficient even at low NH4+ levels.

Full text

Abstract:

Plant tissue culture regeneration is chiefly regulated by exogenous phytohormones. To stop regeneration and induce undifferentiated callus growth auxins are used. Unfortunately auxins influence many plant responses, most unrelated to development. Using the thymidine analogue 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) a phytohormone independent means for differentiation inhibition has been developed. Studies were focused on the target site and mechanism of BrdU action. The BrdU inhibited step in development is indicative of a plant response necessary for normal differentiation. BrdU (5-30 uM) interrupts callus growth in all tested plants. Exogenous cytokinin does not restore growth while thymidine and deoxycytidine rescue plant growth and differentiation in the presence of BrdU. Endogenous cytokinin levels are not greatly affected by subtoxic BrdU levels and indicate that cytokinin and BrdU act upon independent sites. Domestic carrot cells were used in further studies. Normally carrot cells are undifferentiated in medium with the auxin 2,4D. When 2,4D is removed, somatic embryogenesis takes place. By including 5 uM BrdU in the hormoneless medium, the cells fail to differentiate. The growth of carrots in 2,4D is not affected by 5 uM BrdU. Thus, BrdU influences growth during differentiation to a greater extent than the growth of callus cells. BrdU is effective in halting development when applied 0-24 hours after differentiation induction. An event required for differentiation (the first and second replications) must take place at this time. BrdU action begins with DNA incorporation. The consequent cellular replication becomes slowed and DNA repair results. At the same time RNA and protein levels are similar in BrdU treated and untreated cultures. BrdU thymidine substitution into DNA increases from 28% (2 days) to 68% (3 days) after embryogenic induction. A second BrdU effect follows DNA incorporation. Factors (MIFs) in the medium of BrdU treated cells arrest differentiation. After BrdU is repaired from the DNA, the cells are only able to differentiate after a medium change. Understanding MIF production could explain why some plants differentiate more readily than others. BrdU provides the means for further study of MIF's in the auxin-free inhibition of development.

Qouta, Lolita Abdulla. "The biochemistry and molecular biology of intercellular adhesion in plant tissue culture." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2008. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/302/.

Full text

Abstract:

The adhesion between neighbouring plant cells is established as cells are formed during cytokinesis through the middle lamella that is made principally of pectins and proteins. Pectins are secreted into the cell wall in a highly methylesterified form and subsequently de-esterified in muro by pectin methyl esterase (PME, E.C. 3.1.11). The present study reports on the biochemical characterization and immunochemical analyses of phosphate buffer/EDTA pectic extracts associated with cell-cell adhesion in suspension cultures of wild type (WT), salt tolerant (HHS) cell lines and synchronized Arabidopsis suspension cultures. Using the synchronized cultures, The PME-mediated configuration of pectins at the onset of adhesion during cytokinesis, was assessed through the analysis of the expression patterns of the PME isoforms annotated to be expressed throughout the cell cycle The wild type Arabidopsis seemed to maintain the intercellular adhesion through the gelling of the highly methylated JIM7 recognized homogalacturonans that were shown to be abundant in the primary cell walls, middle lamellae and cellular junctions, possibly due to the hydrophobic interactions between the methoxy groups. The rhamnogalacturonan-I fraction was rich in arabinan side chains reflecting the proliferative state of the cells. The increase in arabinan content was accompanied by a reduction in the galactan content 4 days after subculturing. The cell walls of salt tolerant Arabidopsis contained the JIM7 and LM7recognized epitopes along with a high degree of branching of rhamnogalacturonan-I carrying galactans and arabinans as side chains. The change in the detected epitopes is thought to play a role in the ability of the cells to withstand the high osmotic pressure and increase the in the level of adhesion between cells. The JIM5 low methylesterified HGs were less abundant in both cultures, and the absence of the 2F4 antibody recognizing the Ca2+ egg boxes could be attributed to the scarce amounts of Ca2+ present in the culturing medium The immunochemical studies of the pectin extracted from the synchronized Arabidopsis suspension cultures after washing out aphidicolin indicated that the recognition of both of JIM7 and JIM5 varied in parallel during the cell cycle, whereas, the recognition of arabinan increased during the cell division. The sequence and phylogenetic analysis of ten PME isoforms that were annotated to be expressed at one or more phases of the cell cycle of synchronized Arabidopsis thaliana suspension cultures (Menges and Murray, 2002 and 2003), revealed that only five of these genes could be PMEs. The genes At4g02330, At1g02810, At2g26440, and At2g47550 were thought to be of type II PMEs which have a pre-pro-catalytic domains and At5g47500 is a type I PME that lack the pro-region. The amino acid sequence of At4g12390 showed similarities with the N-terminal pro-peptides of plant PME and invertase inhibitors. The expression of several PME genes was studied in suspension cultures of Arabidopsis thaliana synchronised using aphidicolin. Semi-quantitative PCR experiments showed that the expression of At5g47500 transcript was always detected during M phase of the cell cycle. The rest of the genes failed to show consistent patterns of expression. Northern blots revealed that mRNA coding for At5g47500 decreases during S and G2 phases and accumulates during the M phase of the cell cycle. Our results suggest that this PME isoform is involved in the modulations of the cell walls as the cells are going through division and cytokinesis.

Abstract:

Culture filtrates of 13 microbial antagonists exhibited in vitro growth inhibition of a range of test contaminations of herbaceous and woody plant tissue culture systems. Filtrates produced by Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma viride isolates displayed the greatest broad- range inhibitory activity. Microscopic analysis of antagonized fungal mycelia revealed altered hyphal morphology. Maximum filtrate inhibitory activity was produced when selected antagonists were cultured within a pH range of 5-7 and a temperature range of 20-35°C. Filtrates were thermo-stable at 70°C and could be stored for up to 4 weeks with only a minimal reduction in their inhibitory activity. Bulk-volume production of inhibitory filtrates of a T. viride isolate was achieved by optimization of fermentation pH, temperature, and aeration conditions. Plant culture species displayed different responses when grown on media incorporated with microbial filtrates. Microscopy studies at the cellular level revealed reduced cell densities and cellular distortion in plant tissues treated with phytotoxic doses of microbial filtrates. Non-phytotoxic doses of filtrated produced by the B. subtilis and T. viride isolates produced a reduction in the density of opportunistic contaminations in herbaceous plant tissue cultures when applied as prophylactic treatments. Microbial filtrates proved totally ineffective when employed as post-infection sterilants in contaminated plant cultures. The efficacy of selected microbial filtrates was not comparable to that of conventional antibiotics when assessed for their ability to control contamination levels in herbaceous and woody plant culture systems. Further purification of microbial filtrates for enhanced inhibitory activity is discussed along with the possibility of co-cultivation of micro-organisms with plant tissue cultures as a means of biocontrol of phytopathogens.

Abstract:

An in vitro system of generating protoplasts from their callus cultures was established. The friable callus was more productive in terms of producing protoplasts than the green compact callus. The concentration of the various cell wall degrading enzymes had an effect on the viability of the protoplasts in the medium. The protoplast system developed from the experiments was stable and could be used for the transformation experiments of Albizia lebek and for other plant improvement practices.

Abstract:

Gene transfer vectors based on the Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid were used to develop a successful disarmed Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation method for Lotus comiculatus. A binary vector construct, pJIT73, was used during the development of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation system due to its selectable (Aph IV, nos- neo) and scorable markers. The effects of the antibiotics geneticin (G-418) and hygromycin B were studied. Use of kill curves and selection delay experiments allowed potentially suitable selection pressure parameters to be proposed. Using such selection during transformation experiments led to further optimisation of this stage of transformation. The influence of plant hormones on the regeneration of Lotus comiculatus explants was investigated and a modification of an established protocol using leaf explants was introduced as an attempt to reduce the overall time of regeneration. Various explants were used but leaf pieces were chosen as the most suitable explant on which to focus research. So, through alteration of various stages, including length of cocultivation and subsequent decontamination within the transformation process, a successful method was developed. Experiments indicated the optimum Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain to be used with Lotus comiculatus was the disarmed Ach5 type, LBA4404(pAL4404). Transgenic Lotus comiculatus plants were produced which expressed the scorable marker β-Glucuronidase gene (GUS) and the selectable marker for hygromycin B resistance, AphIV. Gene transfer was confirmed by Southern blotting. The new Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated vector system was used to introduce the cowpea trypsin inhibitor gene (CpTi) into Lotus comiculatus. However, although there was evidence for transformed callus development, no shoots were induced. By the use of previously established Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated system, an attempt was made to introduce the pea lectin gene (psl) into Lotus corniculatus. Hairy root regenerants were produced but genetic transfer was unconfirmed and attempted investigation of the plant - Rhizobium symbiosis involving Lotus corniculatus was not fulfilled.

Abstract:

Oil palm is an important commercial crop in Malaysia where Malaysia is the second largest producer and exporter of palm oilin the world. In order to meet the increasing demand for palm oil, elite oil palm planting materials with higher palm oil yield are the desirable planting materials. Hence, the oil palm plantation companies have incorporated in vitro micropropagation technique through somatic embryogenesis in producing elite oil palm. However, low embryogenesis rate has hampered large production of elite oil palm ramets. In this study, proteomic technology was deployed to compare protein expression and identify differential expressed protein between high and low proliferated embryogenic lines of oil palm tissue culture. From the study, total protein of oil palm young and old leaves was extracted using an optimized trichloroacetic acid/acetone precipitation protocol followed by polyethylene glycol (PEG) fractionation to isolate low abundance proteins. Then, the extracted proteins were separated on two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis and protein profiles between the high and low proliferated embryogenic lines were compared. Total of 40 differentially expressed protein spots were isolated from the 2D gel for mass spectrophotometry (MS/MS) identification. However, only 26 out of 40 protein spots were identified and just 8 of the identified protein spots were isolated from young leaves. Quantitative real-time PCR were conducted on 17 proteins candidates to study on the relationship between the protein and mRNA expression level. There was 29% of the 17 proteins’ expression showed linear correlation with their mRNA expression. These proteins candidates were highlighted for further validation in the future.

Abstract:

The responses of the tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) to in vitro tissue culture systems were documented. Tests were conducted to identify the optimal auxin and cytokinin combinations required for optimal callus growth. Regeneration experiments were conducted to: (1) determine the effect of explant source and age on regeneration, (2) effect of callus age on regeneration, (3) the cultivation status of the explant source, and (4) the effects of nutritional additives on somatic embryogenesis. The callus was easily induced and maintained in all hormonal medias except those containing IAA and 6BA. The results for regeneration were most promising from cultures derived from immature cotyledon tissue. Ammonium Chloride, glutamine and Absisic acid appeared to have little affect on embryogenesis, however the addition of kinetin enabled the embryos to develop to the torpedo stage. Callus age and cultivative status of explant source had no effects on plantlet regeneration.

Abstract:

For this research, the abnormality of tissue cultured plantlets,vitrification, was examined in Gypsophila paniculata.Measurement of the relative water content and water saturation deficit of plantlets in culture revealed that vitrified plantlets contain relatively more water and less air spaces than non-vitrified plantlets.The effect of relative humidity on vitrification and growth was investigated using a variety of methods.From the results found, it was determined the defining characteristic of vitrified plantlets is water filled intercellular spaces. It was also determined that the primary cause of vitrification is high relative humidity resulting in a lack of transpiration in vitro but that other factors such as unbalanced mineral nutrition or high medium cytokinin can exacerbate vitrification.Further research in tissue culture may investigate the influence of relative humidity on plant growth and morphology, the mechanism by which plants exclude water from their intercellular spaces and refine in vitro tissue mineral analysis as a means by which critical mineral concentrations can be determined.
