Published: May 1993

Immature inflorescences of ten rye inbred lines (inbred degree S10 and S11) were cultured on solidified MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/dm(3) of 2,4-D. According to their capability for callus production explants were classified into two groups : responsive (giving weak or intensive callus production) and non responsive (lack of callus formation). After transferring responsive material into hormone-free medium the regeneration of roots or shoots from the intensive growing callus was observed. Consistent differences between lines in the portion of explants with a certain response were found. They were divided into five groups reacting in the same way. Lines with different in-vitro response were crossed in an incomplete diallel. F1, F2 and F3 generations were analyzed and the following conclusions drawn: the ability for plant regeneration from immature inflorescences in rye is determined by numerous loci, has a recessive character, and both callus production and regeneration suppression may be controlled by complementary genes.

Producing homogeneous planting material in oil palm poses a significant challenge, which can be addressed through somatic embryogenesis. This study successfully achieved somatic embryogenesis using immature male inflorescence from Tenera hybrid. Modified Eeuwens medium yielded better results than the Murashige and Skoog (MS) and CHU (N6) media when supplemented with 2,4-D, picloram and α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA).

Article Synopsis
  • Two novel loci, qKRN2-1 and qKRN2-2, linked to kernel row number (KRN) in maize were mapped on chromosome 2, identifying a key candidate gene (Zm00001d002989) related to KRN variation.
  • The study utilized teosinte as a donor parent and an inbred maize line (Mo17) as the recurrent parent, explaining around 68.79% of the phenotypic variance with these QTLs.
  • Findings highlight the genetic basis of KRN, offering valuable insights for maize breeding to enhance grain yields.

Preparation and Sectioning of Paraffin-Embedded Tissue for Histology and Histochemistry.

Cutting thin sections of plant tissues enables observation of internal structures and inner cell layers, and it facilitates various histochemical staining methods. Paraffin embedding gives the tissues a uniform stiffness that is sufficient for sectioning with a microtome. Here, we describe the procedures for preparation of paraffin-embedded tissues and the techniques for sectioning with a microtome.
