    Notes: Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was applied to eight commercial cultivars of pineapple, two intergroup hybrids and two wild species. Morphologically, pineapple is divided into the Cayenne, Queen, Spanish, Maipure and Abacaxi groups. Members of the first three groups have been analysed in this study. The cultivars ‘Tradsithong’, ‘Phuket’, ‘Sawee’ and ‘Tainan’, with spiny leaves, form the Queen group. In ‘Pattavia’, ‘Nanglae’ and ‘Petburi no. 2’ (Cayenne group), spines are confined to the leaf tips. ‘Intrachitdang’ is normally placed in the Spanish group, which is morphologically similar to the Queen group, but with inferior quality fruit. DNA amplification products were compared from 16 arbitrary 10-mer primers from which a dendrogram was constructed. The results confirmed morphological classifications for seven of the eight commercial cultivars, with the Queen and Cayenne groups as separate clusters. However, the cv. ‘Intrachitdang’ was more closely related to the Cayenne group. Two hybrids from reciprocal Cayenne × Queen group crosses, were more closely allied to the Queen group. The two wild species were outside the groups. RAPD analysis can be exploited to investigate relationships within pineapple germplasm.

    Notes: Knowledge of the genetic relationships among landraces is useful to gene bank managers because it permits a better organization of the crop's gene pool management, more efficient sampling of the available germplasm resources and better access to useful genetic variation for breeders. Genetic diversity of 19 landraces of the cultivated mung bean, Vigna radiate, and three weedy and wild relatives including Vigna mungo, Vigna luteola and Vigna radiate var. sublobata, was investigated at the DNA level with the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) procedure. Sixty random decamer primers were employed in amplification reactions; 28 of these were informative and yielded 246 bands, of which 229 were polymorphic with a mean of 8.2 bands per primer. A genetic distance matrix based on Nei and Li coefficient was converted to a dendrogram and a two-dimensional plot using multidimensional scaling (MDS). The accessions studied were separated into three main clusters, which included V. radiate landraces, V. mungo and V. luteola, respectively. The variation of this cluster supports the view that the genetic distance of V. mungo and V. luteola varies considerably from the accession VO2955 (V. radiata). The multidimensional scaling plot confirmed that V. mungo, V. luteola and most of the accessions of V. radiata formed distinct clusters with no overlap, and two mung bean accessions (PI177493 and VO4134–1 from Turkey and India, respectively) were genetically distant from other V. radiata landraces. V. radiata and V. mungo are positioned in separate botanical species and V. radiata var. sublobata is classified within other V. radiata landraces. Based on the limited range of accessions tested, the approach holds promise for the classification of mung bean germplasm, identification of mung bean landraces and applications of molecular markers to mung bean breeding.

    Notes: Two hexaploid somatic hybrids [Sh; L. esculentum (+) L. Peruvianum] accessions 6 and 18 were back-crossed with two diploid L. Esculentum cultivars ‘Moneymaker’ (mm) and ‘pusa Ruby’ (pr). Twenty-two plants of the bc2 generation were produced by backcrossing 7 bcl plants (mm x sh, 6, 18) with five tomato cultivars. Fourteen of the bc2 plants were self-fertile, five produced anther cones with anthocyanin pigmentation not present in the parents. A bc3 generation was developed by crossing the four cultivars as female parent with three bc2 generation plants. The bc3 progeny derived from one pollen parent plant were produced without the need to culture immature seeds. They segregated with respect to pigmented anther cones and were self-fertile. The anther cone pigmentation of the pollen parent plant was associated with increased seed set, greater fruit size and an orange-red fruit colour. These features were transmitted to the fertile bc3 generation. Conversely, bc3 offspring involving the other two parent plants were only recovered by culture of immature seeds. The recovery of diploid plants in BCl and self-fertility in BC2 resulted in almost total recovery of the tomato cultivar characteristics (fruit size, colour and number of seeds) by BC3.

    Notes: Summary The effects have been studied of the non-ionic surfactants, Plutonic F-68, Tween 20 or Triton X-100, on shoot regeneration from cultured jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) cotyledons with attached petioles. This group of non-ionic surfactants was selected in order to determine a possible relationship between the physico-chemical properties of individual compounds and their observable effects on plant morphogenesis in cultured jute cotyledons. Supplementation of culture medium with 0.001–0.5% (w/v) Pluronic F-68 increased the mean percentage of cotyledons producing shoots and the mean number of shoots/cotyledon, with maximal responses at 0.5% (w/v). By contrast, Tween 20 produced maximal effects at 0.001% (v/v), with inhibition of shoot formation at 0.5% (v/v). In both cases, phenotypically normal plants were recovered which could be grown to maturity. Culture of cotyledons with 0.001% (v/v) Triton X-100 similarly increased both the percentage of cotyledons producing shoots and the number of shoots/cotyledon. However, these shoots did not develop into mature plants. Additionally, shoots did not regenerate from cotyledons cultured with Triton at 0.01–0.5% (v/v). These results demonstrate mat there is an apparent relationship between the hydrophilic-hydrophobic (HLB) balance of surfactants which determine their cell permeabilising properties and consequently, their effects on morphogenesis.

    Notes: Summary Cell suspension-derived protoplasts of albino Petunia hybrida were grown for 10 d at the interface between aqueous culture medium (KM8P) and an oxygenated (10 mbar for 15 min) perfluorocarbon liquid, perfluorodecalin. Protoplasts synthesised new cell walls and divided normally at the perfluorodecalin/culture medium interface, with a mean viability after 10 d of 〉 92.0%. The mean plating efficiency of protoplasts was elevated by 37% (P〈0.05) following culture at the perfluorodecalin/medium interface, but was unaltered by perfluorodecalin or oxygen separately. The mean plating efficiency of protoplasts cultured at the interface was further increased to a maximium of 52% above control, in the presence of oxygenated perfluorodecalin and KM8P medium supplemented with the non-ionic, co-polymer surfactant, Pluronic F-68 at 0.01% (w/v). These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of oxygenated perfluorodecalin for promoting protoplast growth, by facilitating oxygen delivery. The finding that Pluronic F-68 further increased the plating efficiency of protoplasts cultured at the perfluorocarbon/aqueous interface suggests that these agents improve growth through separate, but cumulative, mechanisms.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of a molecular oxygen atmosphere on protoplast culture, compared with normal cultural procedures, was investigated for tomato, rice and jute protoplast systems. Protoplasts, in unsealed Petri dishes were cultured in a sealed 250 ml volume container in which the atmosphere was replaced with sterile molecular oxygen (O2 100% v/v) achieved by a one minute oxygen flow (10 mBar). Controls were cultured in a similar way but with a normal atmosphere (20.5% v/v oxygen). For all three species a major improvement in plating efficiency and colony formation was observed in the oxygen-enriched atmospheres. In the case of rice, cultivar Taipei 309, a significant increase in plant regeneration capacity, from protoplast-derived colonies, was observed for the high oxygen cultures.

    Notes: Abstract Enzymatic digestion of newly expanded leaves of glasshouse-grown seedlings of passionfruit released protoplasts which exhibited highest division frequency (38.6%) when plated at a density of 1.5×105 ppts ml−1 in agarose-solidified droplets of KM8P medium containing the antibiotic cefotaxime (250 μg ml−1). Cefotaxime was essential for sustained cell division. Protoplast-derived calli were cultured on agarsolidified MS medium with 5.0 mg H NAA, 0.25 mg l−1 BAP and additional vitamins. These calli regenerated shoots on transfer to MS medium with 1.0 mg l−1 BAP. Regenerated shoots were rooted in half-strength MS medium with 3.0 mg l−1 IBA and 0.5 mg l−1 NAA (7 d), followed by sub-culture to MS medium lacking growth regulators. The ability to regenerate plants from protoplasts of passionfruit is discussed in relation to the application of somatic cell techniques for the genetic improvement of this economically important tropical woody plant.

    Notes: Abstract The inert perfluorochemical (PFC) liquid, perfluorodecalin (Flutec PP6), has been used to increase the CO2 supply to cultured shoots of Rosa chinensis Jacq. cv. Baby Love. Culture of shoots in semi-solid medium overlaying CO2-gassed PFC (2 mbar; 5 min repeated every 7 days) for up to 42 days, increased biomass as reflected by significant (P〈0.01) increases in shoot number, number of leaves per shoot and mean shoot fresh weight. Additionally, there were significant (P〈0.01) increases in the number of roots and their fresh and dry weights following a further 10 days of culture on rooting medium prior to transfer of plants to the glasshouse. Treatment of cultured rose shoots with CO2-gassed PFC also significantly reduced (P〈0.01) the accumulation of phenolic compounds in roots. The total chlorophyll of aerial parts was unaffected, although total protein in shoots and roots was significantly (P〈0.01) lower than in the control. The biotechnological implications of this novel cultural régime are discussed for the micropropagation of woody species.

    Notes: Abstract Novel approaches, involving supplementation of aqueous culture medium with haemoglobin solution (Erythrogen), in the presence or absence of the copolymer surfactant, Pluronic F-68, have been evaluated to facilitate cellular oxygen availability to promote mitotic division. Cell-suspension-derived protoplasts of albino Petunia hybrida cv. Comanche were cultured for up to 45 days in KM8P medium containing 1:50–1:500 (vol:vol) Erythrogen. The mean initial protoplast plating efficiency after 9 days with 1:50 Erythrogen (18.5%) was significantly greater (P〈0.05) than in untreated controls (11.3%). Supplementation of culture medium with 1:50 Erythrogen, together with 0.01% (wt/vol) Pluronic F-68, increased the mean plating efficiency after 9 days (24.4%) by 92% (P〈0.05) over the control (12.7%). These treatments also produced increases in biomass of protoplast-derived cells up to 2.5-fold greater than control (P〈0.01) over 80 days. Gassing the medium, containing 1:50 Erythrogen, with carbon monoxide abolished the increase in plating efficiency. There was no additional benefit of gassing Erythrogen-supplemented medium with 100% oxygen. The synergistic, beneficial effect of Erythrogen and Pluronic F-68 on protoplast division has implications for plant biotechnology utilising protoplasts.
