- Abstract
Vitis vinifera L. cv. 'Manicure Finger' is one of the major table grape varieties in China. To provide a strong foundation for genetic transformation with potential for crop improvement, we undertook plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis. Anthers and gynoecia were harvested from immature flowers and used as explants to induce embryogenic calli. Explants cultured in MS1 medium (based on Murashige and Skoog basal salts), supplemented with 4.5-μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 4.4-μM 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) showed the highest rates of embryogenic callus induction (3.7% ± 1.3% for anthers and 4.8% ± 2.5% for gynoecia). After several months, somatic embryos were produced from embryogenic calli cultured in plant growth regulator-free MS2 medium (with reduced sucrose). Somatic embryos (SE) at the cotyledonary stage were isolated and cultured on three different media (MS2, MS3, or B) for conversion into plantlets, the efficiency of which ranged from 63.9% ± 4.8% to 83.9% ± 8.4%. After 1 mo of in vitro culture, 80% of plants with at least six leaves were successfully transplanted into soil. SE was repeatedly induced from previously induced somatic embryos for up to 1.5 yr. Using embryogenic calli as starting material, suspension cultures containing embryogenic cell aggregates were also established in liquid MS medium supplemented with 4.5-μM 2,4-D. The embryogenic cell aggregates continued to proliferate without differentiating for successive subculture cycles. After transfer to 2,4-D-free liquid medium for 4 wk, an average of 63.7% ± 9.0% mature SEs were produced per 20 mL of liquid medium. More than 40% of somatic embryos at cotyledonary stage, derived from the suspension cultures, successfully germinated into plants using solid medium.
