    Notes: Summary In leek (Allium ampeloprasum L.) a cyclic system of somatic embryogenesis was developed. Somatic embryos used for cyclic embryogenesis were able to develop the same type of embryogenic callus as zygotic embryos in the primary cycle. For the first time a comparison of the efficiencies of both expiants was made. Ten families were investigated for somatic embryogenesis. There was a genetic relationship with respect to somatic embryo production between the reciprocal crosses. From each family one genotype was selected for investigating cyclic somatic embryogenesis. Different levels of somatic embryo production were found between the expiants of zygotic and somatic embryos. The two best genotypes, 92.001-03 and 92.002-33 produced twice as many somatic embryos as the overall average. On average, 56% of the somatic embryos finally developed into greenhouse plantlets.

    Notes: Summary Transgenic shoots were regenerated from eight diploid potato hairy root clones obtained by transformation with Agrobacterium rhizogenes harboring next to its wild-type Ri-plasmid a binary vector containing the neomycin phosphotransferase and the β-glucuronidase genes. The plants exhibited the typical hairy root phenotype. Of the plants isolated, 58% were tetraploid and 38% were diploid. Flowering and tuberization was much better in the diploid than in the tetraploid plants. Transgenic plants formed a significantly larger root system when grown on kanamycin-containing medium as compared to growth on kanamycin-free medium. Direct evidence for genetic transformation was obtained by opine, neomycin phosphotransferase and β-glucuronidase assays, and by molecular hybridization. Fourteen flowering diploid plants were reciprocally crossed with untransformed S. tuberosum plants, but only six were successful. Seedlings obtained from four crosses showed that all traits were transmitted to the offspring. Molecular analysis confirmed the presence of multiple integrations (copies) of both vector T-DNA and Ri-T-DNA. The genetic data, furthermore, suggest that the traits derived from Ri-T-DNA and binary vector T-DNA are linked, as no recombination between the different traits was observed.

    Notes: Summary We transformed three potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes by using A. rhizogenes or a mixture of A. rhizogenes and A. tumefaciens. Inoculations of potato stem segments were performed with Agrobacterium rhizogenes AM8703 containing two independent plasmids: the wild-type Ri-plasmid, pRI1855, and the binary vector plasmid, pBI121. In mixed inoculation experiments, Agrobacterium rhizogenes LBA1334 (pRI1855) and Agrobacterium tumefaciens AM8706 containing the disarmed Ti-plasmid (pAL4404) and the binary vector plasmid (pBI121) were mixed in a 1∶1 ratio. The T-DNA of the binary vector plasmid pBI121 contained two marker genes encoding neomycin phosphotransferase, which confers resistance to kanamycin, and β-glucuronidase. Both transformation procedures gave rise to hairy roots on potato stem segments within 2 weeks. With both procedures it was possible to obtain transformed hairy roots, able to grow on kanamycin and possessing β-glucuronidase activity, without selection pressure. The efficiency of the A. rhizogenes AM8703 transformation, however, was much higher than that of the “mixed” transformation. Up to 60% of the hairy roots resulting from the former transformation method were kanamycin resistant and possessed β-glucuronidase activity. There was no correlation between the height of the kanamycin resistance and that of the β-glucuronidase activity in a root clone. Hairy roots obtained from a diploid potato genotype turned out to be diploid in 80% of the cases. Transformed potato plants were recovered from Agrobacterium rhizogenes AM8703-induced hairy roots.

    Notes: Summary Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated introduction of the wild-type allele of the gene encoding granulebound starch synthase (GBSS) into the amylose-free starch mutantamf of potato leads to restoration of GBSS activity and amylose synthesis, which demonstrates thatAmf is the structural gene for GBSS. Amylose was found in columella cells of root tips, in stomatal guard cells, tubers, and pollen, while in the control experiments using only vector DNA, these tissues remained amylose free. This confirms the fact that, in potato, GBSS is the only enzyme responsible for the presence of amylose, accumulating in all starch-containing tissues. Amylose-containing transformants showed no positive correlation between GBSS activity and amylose content, which confirms that the former is not the sole regulating factor in amylose metabolism.

    Notes: Abstract Four Indonesian and two Latin-American cassava genotypes (Manihot esculenta Crantz), were evaluated for their ability to develop somatic embryos from young leaf lobes. All genotypes formed somatic embryos but they differed in the frequency of embryos induced. The best genotypes, M. Col 22 and Tjurug, produced germinating embryos (GE) on 81% (22.1 GE/initial leaf lobe) and 46% (4.3 GE/initial leaf lobe) of the cultured leaf lobes, respectively. Up to 57% of the germinating embryos of M. Col 22 and 12% of Tjurug produced either normal or malformed shoots. Most malformed shoots developed into shoots with normal morphology after prolonged culture. All shoots formed roots after transfer to medium without BAP. Roots of all normal and most malformed regenerants had the original ploidy level (2n=36). Regardless of whether the plants were multipliedin vitro (150 plants) or in the greenhouse (30 plants) there were no morphological differences compared to parent plants.

    Notes: Summary Granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) catalyses the synthesis of amylose in starch granules. Analysis of antisense RNA mediated inhibition of GBSS gene expression in large numbers of tubers from in vitro grown, greenhouse grown and field grown transgenic potato plants revealed stable and total inhibition of GBSS gene expression in one clone. In three other transgenic genotypes partial and unstable inhibition was found. In these genotypes both GBSS activity and amylose content were remarkably reduced compared with the non-transformed control genotype. No relationship was found between the level of inhibition of GBSS gene expression and yield and dry matter content.

    Notes: Summary A high frequency plant regeneration system via organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis was established with callus cultures derived from mature zygotic embryos of different leek genotypes (Allium ampeloprasum L.). Four different callus types with varying morphogenetic potential were obtained. Relatively high concentrations of the auxin 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid reduced callus weight and subsequent shoot regeneration and primordia formation of the callus. Shoot regeneration and primordia formation of the callus decreased after prolonged subculture on media containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid. A callus growth period of six weeks on Murashige and Skoog medium with 0.25–0.5 mg l-1 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid showed the highest rate of shoot regeneration after transfer of callus to regeneration medium with 1 mg l-1 kinetin. Differences between leek genotypes in callus type, callus weight, shoot regeneration and primordia formation were observed. Histological observations showed that plant regeneration took place, both via the pathway of somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis.

    Notes: Abstract A prerequisite for the development of a successful transformation system is the availability of efficient regeneration systems. Up to 1995 the only available regeneration system in cassava was an organized type of somatic embryogenesis. Transformation of these organized somatic embryogenic cultures with particle bombardment or Agrobacterium tumefaciens resulted in chimeric transformed embryos. However, the transformed sector was lost after repeated cycles of secondary somatic embryogenesis. After 1995 a less organized system of somatic embryogenesis was developed, so called friable embryogenic callus (FEC) and a system of adventitious shoot regeneration. The FEC regeneration system was combined successfully with particle bombardment. Selection of transgenic plants was based on either luciferase activity, or resistance to the aminoglycoside paromomycin or the herbicide phosphinothricin. Furthermore, protoplasts of FEC are able to regenerate into plants and can be transformed by electroporation. The adventitious shoot regeneration system was combined successfully with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. For this mature somatic embryos were cocultivated with Agrobacterium and cultured for adventitious shoot development. After selection based on the aminoglycoside geneticin or on hygromycin transgenic plants were formed.
