Abstract
BACKGROUND ACACIA MELANOXYLON: is an important species for establishing pulpwood plantations due to its high application value in engineered wood products. However, the lack of a well-established in vitro regeneration system has severely constrained its industrial-scale propagation and the induction of tetraploids. RESULTS: In this study, using the superior A. melanoxylon clone SR3, an in vitro regeneration system using a bud-bearing stem segment was established. A DKW medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L 6-BA, 0.1 mg/L IAA, and 0.2 mg/L NAA was determined as the optimal differentiation medium. Adding 0.5 mg/L IBA and 0.25 mg/L NAA to the 1/2 MS medium produced a higher rooting percentage and root number. To determine the optimal timing for tetraploid induction in A. melanoxylon, morphological, cytological, and flow cytometric analyses were conducted on the swollen tissue at the base of the bud-bearing stem segment. On the 5th day of preculture, white callus tissue was observed, characterized by vigorous cell division and the highest G2/M-phase cell content in the adventitious bud primordia. After colchicine treatment, the tetraploid induction efficiency on the 5th day of preculture was significantly higher compared to the 4th or 6th day. The highest induction rate of 12.26 ± 0.80% was achieved with 100 mg/L colchicine for 72 h on the 5th day of preculture. Furthermore, tetraploid A. melanoxylon exhibited morphological traits such as reduced plant height, leaf number, and stomatal density. CONCLUSIONS: This study establishes a stable and effective method for in vitro tetraploid induction in A. melanoxylon, providing theoretical and technical support for polyploid breeding and laying the groundwork for subsequent triploid development.
期刊介绍:
Plant Methods is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal for the plant research community that encompasses all aspects of technological innovation in the plant sciences.
There is no doubt that we have entered an exciting new era in plant biology. The completion of the Arabidopsis genome sequence, and the rapid progress being made in other plant genomics projects are providing unparalleled opportunities for progress in all areas of plant science. Nevertheless, enormous challenges lie ahead if we are to understand the function of every gene in the genome, and how the individual parts work together to make the whole organism. Achieving these goals will require an unprecedented collaborative effort, combining high-throughput, system-wide technologies with more focused approaches that integrate traditional disciplines such as cell biology, biochemistry and molecular genetics.
Technological innovation is probably the most important catalyst for progress in any scientific discipline. Plant Methods’ goal is to stimulate the development and adoption of new and improved techniques and research tools and, where appropriate, to promote consistency of methodologies for better integration of data from different laboratories.
