Micropropagationis used to
multiply novel plants
provide a sufficient number of plantlets for planting from a
stock plant which…does not
produce seeds
does not respond well to vegetative
reproduction

MICRO. Vs MACRO. PROPAGATION
• Small propagule
• Aseptic conditions
• Controlled environment
• Heterotrophic growth
• Rapid multiplication
• Greater initial costs
• Larger propagule
• Non-aseptic conditions
• Less environmental control
• Photoautotrophic growth
• Slower multiplication
• Nominal costs

Selection of explant
• Explant age
• Season
• Explant size
• Plant quality
• Goal

In many cases, older tissue will not form callus
younger tissue easier to surface disinfect

EXPLANT SIZE
• the smaller the explant, the harder it is to culture.
• The larger explants probably contain more nutrient reserves and plant growth regulators to sustain the culture.
![Page 21: Micropropagation and transformation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042522/559b6f2c1a28ab3c778b461c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Internal differences in hormone
balance in the tissue can result in
varying in vitro responses.
![Page 22: Micropropagation and transformation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042522/559b6f2c1a28ab3c778b461c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
PLANT QUALITY
• It is advisable to obtain explants from plants which are healthy as compared to plants under nutritional or water stress or plants which are exhibiting disease symptoms.
![Page 23: Micropropagation and transformation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042522/559b6f2c1a28ab3c778b461c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
GOAL
• Depending on what type of a response is desired from the cell culture, the choice of explant tissue will vary.
![Page 24: Micropropagation and transformation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042522/559b6f2c1a28ab3c778b461c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Any piece of plant tissue can be used as an explant
![Page 25: Micropropagation and transformation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042522/559b6f2c1a28ab3c778b461c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• For example, if clonal propagation is the goal, then the explant will usually be a lateral or terminal bud or shoot.
• For callus induction, pieces of the cotyledon, hypocotyl, stem, leaf, or embryo are usually used.
• Excellent explants for callus induction are seedling tissues from aseptically germinated seeds or immature inflorescences.
• Leaf tissue from the aseptically germinated seed is a good source of tissue for protoplast isolation.
• To produce haploid plants or callus, the anther or pollen is cultured.
![Page 26: Micropropagation and transformation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042522/559b6f2c1a28ab3c778b461c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Initiation and aseptic culture establishment
• The explant is surface sterilized before being placed on the medium. Small amounts of plant growth regulators may be added to the medium for quick establishment of the explant.
![Page 28: Micropropagation and transformation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042522/559b6f2c1a28ab3c778b461c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Aseptic Technique
• Killing or excluding microorganisms or their spores with heat, filters, chemicals or other sterilants

• transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material (exogenous DNA) from its surroundings and taken up through the cell membrane(s).

Gene transfer in plants
Why gene transfer?• Crop improvement• Disease resistance• Stress tolerance• Improved performance• Value-added traitsBasic studies• Gene expression• Reverse genetics - understanding functioning of
unknown genes• Biochemistry and metabolism

Plant transformation with the Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens
• A. tumefaciens is a gram-negative soil bacterium which
naturally transforms plant cells, resulting in crown gall (cancer)
tumors
• Tumor formation is the result of the transfer, integration and
expression of genes on a specific segment of A. tumefaciens
plasmid DNA called the T-DNA (transferred DNA)
• The T-DNA resides on a large plasmid called the Ti (tumor
inducing) plasmid found in A.tumefaciens

Overview of requirements for plant genetic transformation
• Trait that is encoded by a single gene
• A means of driving expression of the gene in plant cells (Promoters and terminators)
• Means of putting the gene into a cell (Vector)
• A means of selecting for transformants
• Means of getting a whole plant back from the single transformed cell (Regeneration)

Transformation with Agrobacterium
• Agrobacteriumcontains a circle of DNA (Ti plasmid) that carries the desired genes
• Co-cultivation of the Agrobacterium with plant pieces transfers the DNA

Essential Elements for Carrying a Transgene on Ti PlasmidsThe T-DNA segment contains both a transgene and a selective marker or reporter gene. These have separate promoters and termination signals. The marker or reporter gene must be expressed all the time, whereas the transgene is often expressed only in certain tissues or under certain circumstances and usually has a promoter that can be induced by appropriate signals.

• Selected single cells from the callus can be treated with a series of plant hormones, such as auxins and gibberellins, and each may divide and differentiate into the organized, specialised, tissue cells of an entire plant. The new plant that originated from a successfully shot cell have new genetic (heritable) traits.

Transfer of Modified Ti Plasmid into a PlantAgrobacterium carrying a Ti plasmid is added to plant tissue growing in culture. The T-DNA carries an antibiotic resistance gene (neomycin in this figure) to allow selection of successfully transformed plant cells. Both callus cultures (A) and liquid cultures (B) may be used in this procedure.
