    Notes: Abstract Plants were regenerated from excised adventitious roots of the rose rootstock ‘Moneyway’ via a three step procedure: callus induction, induction of somatic embryos and shoot development. Callus was induced on excised roots after incubation for 4 weeks in the dark on SH-medium (Schenk and Hildebrandt) containing 50 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. For embryo induction, calluses were transferred to hormone-free SH-medium and incubated for 8 weeks. The use of Gelrite instead of agar during callus induction stimulated somatic embryogenesis (up to 16% of the explants formed organized structures), whereas the presence of 6-benzylaminopurine in this phase inhibited subsequent regeneration. Yellow solid calluses with embryo-like cotyledons or primordia and friable calluses with embryos were selected, and upon incubation in the light shoots developed. Shoot development was faster and more frequent on solid callus than on friable callus (64% and 21% of the calluses finally formed one or more shoots, respectively). Eleven out of thirteen regenerants developed similarly to control shoots. Finally this regeneration method is compared with other systems for somatic embryogenesis and opportunities for the production of transgenic rose rootstocks and rose cultivare are discussed.

    Notes: Summary As part of our research to develop an alternative system for the transformation of recalcitrant plant species we investigated the use of the male gametophyte as a transformation vector. Therefore the activity of four different promoters (CaMV 35S, LAT52, chiA PA2 and TR2') was analyzed in pollen of a dicot (Nicotiana glutinosa) and a monocot (Lilium longiflorum) plant species. Gene constructs in which the ß-glucuronidase (GUS) gene was placed under the control of these promoters were introduced in pollen using a particle delivery system. No activity of the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CaMV) 35S promoter was detected in pollen of both N. glutinosa and L. longiflorum. The promoter of the tomato flower-specific LAT52 gene was highly active in N. glutinosa pollen but remained silent in L. longiflorum pollen. A similar expression pattern was observed for the pollen-specific Chalcone Flavanone Isomerase chiA PA2 promoter originally isolated from petunia. The TR2′ mannopine synthase promoter of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, however, was active in pollen from Solanaceous species and also in pollen from the monocot L. longiflorum. This suggests that the TR2' promoter is active in vegetative and sporogenous tissues of dicot and monocot plant species.

    Notes: Abstract In vitro propagation of the rose rootstock ‘Moneyway’ was investigated on the following media: Murashige and Skoog (MS), Quoirin and Lepoivre (QL) and Woody Plant (WP). Growth, which was measured as length of shoots after a 6-week period, was faster on MS and QL than on WP. In spite of the better growth, chlorosis of newly formed leaves occurred from the third week on and was correlated with a lower chlorophyll content of shoots. Replacement of FeEDTA by FeEDDHA in QL and MS resulted in the development of green shoots for more than 3 months. The occurrence of chlorosis was not pH directed since the pH of QL with FeEDTA or FeEDDHA had not changed after 6 weeks of growth. Addition of the light absorbing dye fast yellow 9 to QL with FeEDTA also resulted in green shoots with a higher chlorophyll content. It is suggested that FeEDDHA is a more photostable chelate than FeEDTA, resulting in a higher availability of iron for the rose shoots. The impact of the iron chelate formula on the micropropagation of plant species that are susceptible to iron deficiency is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) on the formation of non-transformed and rol gene transformed roots on stem slices of in vitro cultured shoots of Rosa hybrida L. ‘Moneyway’ was examined. Formation of adventitious roots on this rootstock was dependent on the IBA dose; it was not affected by the presence of other root primordia on the same explant. Application of 0.32 to 1 μM IBA during 5 days, followed by transfer to medium without hormones resulted in maximum root formation (90%) after three weeks. The formation of such untransformed roots was completely inhibited by transfer to medium with 5 mg 1−1 kanamycin two days after excision. Ri roots were formed upon inoculation with A. rhizogenes LBA9402 harbouring two plasmids: pRi1855, comprising the rol genes and the binary plasmid p 35Sgusintron with the nptII gene for kanamycin resistance and the CaMV 35Sgusintron gene. The formation of these Ri roots on kanamycin-containing medium was independent of the presence of IBA. Stem slices inoculated with a disarmed A. tumefaciens GV3101, harbouring only the nptII gene, formed callus and subsequently roots in the presence of kanamycin exclusively on medium with high IBA concentrations (10 or 100 μM). Root formation at 100 μM IBA was considerably improved by transformation with the rolB gene under the influence of the strong CaMV 35S promoter. In addition, low IBA (0.1 and 1 μM) stimulated the formation of roots only on stem slices transformed with A. tumefaciens harbouring the rolA+rolB+rolC genes; the rooting response at 10 μM IBA was much improved. It was concluded that the 35SrolB gene and especially a combination of rolA, B and C genes promote the rooting response.
