We report the development of a cryopreservation protocol for the endemic Western Australian plant species Loxocarya cinerea (Restionaceae). Shoot tips from two genotypes, SXH404 and SXH804, were cryopreserved using the droplet-vitrification technique. Control explants, which were cryoprotected, but not cooled, showed regeneration for both genotypes (SXH404, 22.1 +/- 5.9%; SXH804, 67.7 +/- 9.6%). Extension of incubation in PVS2 from 30 to 60 min did not lead to survival after cryopreservation. Thermal analysis using differential scanning calorimetry confirmed the beneficial effect of a loading phase but also revealed no or very little ice formation after cryoprotection of shoot tips in other treatments. Regeneration following cryopreservation was obtained for genotype SXH804 (4.3 +/- 2.1%) but not for SXH404. Regenerated explants of L. cinerea SXH804 were morphologically identical to tissue-cultured plants. As an alternative to shoot tips, callus tissues of clone SXH404 were successfully cryopreserved (> 66.7% post LN survival) using the same protocol.

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs), which are activated by transient changes in the Ca concentration in plants, are important for various biological processes, such as growth, development, defense against biotic and abiotic stresses, and others. Mannitol is commonly used as an osmotic regulatory substance in culture medium or nutrient solutions to create water-deficit conditions. Here, we cloned the potato ( L.

The gradual unfurling of fronds from tightly coiled tips, termed fiddleheads or croziers, is one of the most recognizable features of the fern lineage, but its evolutionary origin remains unclear. Here, we identify that fiddleheads and their development, termed circinate vernation, are not ubiquitous across ferns. Instead, they are a synapomorphy of a clade we term the circinatophytes that includes extant marattioid and leptosporangiate ferns.

The secondary shoot blight phase of fire blight is a critical component of disease epidemics in apples, pears, and other Rosaceae family plants with infection occurring at the tips of vigorously growing branches. Shoot blight infections are exacerbated in modern high-density apple plantings, where growers emphasize maximizing tree growth to recapture planting costs and increase yields of high-quality fruit. The overarching goal of this study was to develop new strategies for shoot blight management that do not impact the growth and yield of young apple trees.
