    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.

    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 A transformation system is described for Datura meteloides using the supervirulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain 1065, carrying both the β-glucuronidase (gusA) and neomycin phosphotransferase II (nptII) genes between the T-DNA border sequences of the binary vector. The importance of conditions such as the preculture period of the plant tissues, wounding, bacterial dilution and incubation time were evaluated in terms of transgenic plant production. A preculture period of 2–3 days, using a 1:20 or 1:10 (vol:vol) dilution of an overnight bacterial culture, resulted in optimum shoot regeneration, with 48% from a total of 576 explants regenerating transformed shoots. Expression of the gusA and nptII genes was confirmed by a GUS fluorometric assay and by NPTII ELISA. Southern analysis revealed the integration of both transgenes, which segregated as dominant Mendelian traits in seed progeny.

    Notes: Abstract Supplementation of MS-based medium containing 4.4 μM 6-benzyladenine and 2.7 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid with 0.001–0.1% (w/v) of the non-ionic, co-polymer surfactant, Pluronic F-68, significantly (p〈0.05) increased the mean fresh weight gain of cultured leaf explants of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora) “Tone Maid” and “Early Charm” by a maximum of 74% and 34%, respectively. The percentage of individual explants giving adventive shoots was also stimulated by Pluronic F-68; for cv. Early Charm, 0.001% (w/v) Pluronic F-68 induced the maximum response, whereas for cv. Tone Maid, the maximum response occurred with 0.01% surfactant. Shoot regeneration from explants was also enhanced at these concentrations of surfactant, compared to explants cultured in the absence of Pluronic F-68.

    Notes: Abstract Viable protoplasts (yield 〉 1.9 × 107 g−1 fresh weight; mean viability 85±2%, n=5) were isolated from leaves of axenic shoot cultures of Manihot esculenta Crantz. cv. M. Thai 8. Protoplasts were cultured for up to 50 days in liquid, ammonium-free MS medium, overlaying agarose-solidified B5 medium with short glass rods embedded perpendicularly within, and protruding from, the agarose layer. Control protoplasts were cultured identically, but without glass rods. Sustained protoplast division was observed only in the presence of glass rods, where the initial plating efficiency was almost 6-fold greater than control (p 〈 0.05). The mean final plating efficiency of treated cultures was 1.0±0.2% while, in contrast, significant colony formation was not observed in controls.

    Notes: Abstract Stem explants and leaves (without petioles) excised from axenic shoots of Populus tremula cv. Ahle or P. tremula × tremuloides cv. Münden were cultured in the presence of the non-ionic, co-polymer surfactant, Pluronic F-68. Stem explants developed shoots within 10 d of culture and significant (p〈0.05), but genotype-dependent, increases in total shoot fresh weight (maximum 2 × control) occurred in cultures supplemented with 0.001–0.1% Pluronic F-68 over a 72 d period. Similarly, increases in both fresh weight (up to 10-fold) and number of shoots per P. tremula × tremuloides leaf explant (5-fold maximum) over 60 d occurred with Pluronic F-68 at 0.001%.
