Notizen:
Cell cultures of the carrot Daucus carota are a useful experimental system for studying the genetic regulation of plant embryogenesis. A modified filtration-enrichment procedure was used to isolate 21 temperature-sensitive variants in somatic embryogenesis; the variants display normal embryo development at the permissive temperature (24°C) and altered development at the restrictive temperature (33°C). Temperature-shift experiments were performed on these variants to determine the timing of gene action for the putative temperature-sensitive alleles. According to their phenotypes at the restrictive temperature, these variants can be divided into six classes: No Growth, Callus Proliferation, Globularstage Block, Oblong-stage Block, Lateral Growth, and Root Formation. Although many variants exhibit lengthy temperature-sensitive periods, the temperature sensitivity of some variants is restricted to one or two embryonic stages. These results plus those in the literature are incorporated into a preliminary model concerning the genetic regulation of carrot embryogenesis.
