UP TO and Including Lecture on Tuesday, 10/30/01

 1.      Mitosis / meiosis – the two types of cell division involved in plant propagation. Mitosis refers to somatic cell division involved in regeneration of new organs during asexual propagation, whereas Meiosis refers to cell division involving formation of haploid gametes and segregation of alleles, from diploid “mother” cell during the process of sexual reproduction.

Black = similarityWhite = difference 3.      Mist / fog  4.      Root initial / root primordium 5.      In vitro / ex vitro

 

Midterm Exam: examples of Compare & Contrast questionsCompare and Contrast each of the following pairs (or triplet), in the context of their relevance to plant propagation. Your answer should make clear what each term refers to and the similarities and differences between them. (4 point each)

Short Essays (15 points each) (1/2 – 1 page)  1.      Describe how you would determine if cuttage or micropropagation was the best method

for propagating a newly introduced ornamental selection for large-scale commercial production. Assume that you have at least a year before commercial production begins and that adaquate facilities are available for either method of propagation.

 2.      Briefly describe each of the stages involved in plant micropropagation via shoot culture

(as described by Murashige, 1974), including the objective(s) of each stage and the strategy used to achieve those objectives.

 3.      What is the effect of stock plant growth phase on rooting of cuttings and how can it be

managed to optimize rooting of difficult-to-root species? 19. Describe how light, temperature and humidity interact to influence the water potential of a

cutting and its ability to root. How are these environmental factors managed to maximize rootability in a mist system, compared to a closed case (polyethylene) moisture management system?

Also: there may be a data interpretation question

Definitions

Plant Tissue Culture - in vitro, aseptic plant culture for any purpose including genetic transformation and other plant breeding objectives, secondary product production, pathogen elimination… or for asexual (micropropagation) or sexual propagation

Definitions

Plant Tissue Culture

Micropropagation - use of tissue culture for clonal plant propagation (including somatic embryogenesis)

In vitro seed or embryo culture - in vitro sexual propagation

Characteristics of MostMicropropagation Systems

• aseptic culture (no other organsims)• small propagule = explant• heterotrophic nutrition

History of Plant Tissue Culture Propagation at Cornell

Lewis Knudson, 1922 - 1st in vitro embryo germination (orchid) - ie the invention of in vitro embryo culture

Knudson, L, 1922, Nonsymbiotic germination of orchid seeds, Botanical Gazette LXXIII: 19

Gavino Rotor, 1949 - 1st in vitro vegetative propagation.

Rotor, G, 1949, A method of vegetative propagation of Phalaenopsis species and hybrids, AOS Bulletin (Dec 1) pp 738. - according to Arditti, (1993, Microprop of Orchids (CH 1), Wiley) Rotor (Dr. Mac Daniels student) was 1st in vitro vegetative propagation.

Explants used for micropropagation & embyo culture

• shoot meristem, tip, bud• leaf or stem (internode)• root • anther / microspore• ovule • embryo () associated seed parts

Shoot Explants

Meristem tip

Actively growing shoot tip

Dormant bud

Forcing solution (HQC, sucrose, +/- gibberellin):

allows a dormant bud to be forced under clean (indoor) conditions.

- Paul Read et al., 1990

Leaf Explants

Seed “explant” (propgaule)

Micropropagation via Shoot Culture

Applications of Shoot Culture :

• propagation per se• bulking plant breeding selections• production and maintenance of disease free plants• restoration of juvenility• stock plant management

Shoot culture for propagation per se

Theoretical:Eg. Mum

Conventional prop. -- 30K plants per year

Microprop: (based on 5 fold increase every 4 wks, assuming unlimited labor, space, etc. and no losses):

1 > 5 > 25 > 125 > 625 > 3125 > 15,625 > 78,125 > 390,625 > 1,953,125 > 9,765,625 > 48,824,125 > 244,140,625

Shoot culture for propagation per se

Practical Considerations: economic niches

• French hybrid lilacs• Raspberries• Rhododendrons, Kalmia

Applications of Shoot Culture :

• propagation per se• bulking plant breeding selections• production and maintenance of disease free plants• restoration of juvenility• stock plant management

Applications of Shoot Culture :

• propagation per se• bulking plant breeding selections• production and maintenance of disease free plants• restoration of juvenility• stock plant management

Shoot culture for production and maintenance of disease free plants

• assumption: because plant tissue cultures are aspetic they are disease free

- contributed to the spread of orchid viruses

Additional advantages associated withMicropropagation via shoot culture

• Stock plant management- Bamboo Nurseries (philodendron) - before MP 75% of gh space devoted to stock plants

•Enhanced field performance - related to “rejuvenation”

-Red Rasp / C&W noted vigor and suckering: MP > Conventional-thornless blackberry (Sqartz, et al, 1983)-Strawberry - Zimmerman, 1986-Aster, mum, and hosta (mum: 100 divisions vs. 10) - lasts 1 season (Simart in Zimmerman)

• Extend propagation season / especially combined with cold storage of shoot and / or other types of culture

• Facilitate international export
