<strong>Título en ingles: Micropropagation of papaya plants in temporary immersion recipients from axilary shoots</strong><p><strong>Título corto: Micropropagación de lechosa en recipientes de inmersión temporal.</strong></p><strong>Resumen: </strong>Se estandarizaron las condiciones de iniciación, multiplicación, enraizamiento y aclimatización de plantas hermafroditas de lechosa cv Maradol provenientes de brotes axilares, producidos en recipientes de inmersión temporal RITA<sup>®</sup>. En cada envase, contentivo de 200 ml de medio de cultivo líquido de Fitch, se colocaron cuatro brotes de 2 a 3 cm de longitud. Los biorreactores se conectaron a tres líneas de inmersión de 5, 2 y 1 min cada 4h y se colocaron 6 envases en promedio por línea, en condiciones de fotoperíodo de 16 h. Transcurridos 30 a 45 días, se cuantificaron los brotes y se clasificaron de acuerdo al tamaño: < 2 cm (pequeños), entre 2 a 3 cm (medianos), ˃ 3 cm con y sin raíz (grandes). Los dos primeros tipos de brotes se continuaron multiplicando en los mismos medios; y los más elongados se aclimatizaron utilizando el Sistema Autotrófico Hidropónico (SAH). Se determinó la sanidad y la fidelidad de las plantas producidas mediante pruebas de ELISA y RAPD, respectivamente. Durante un periodo de 6 meses se reciclaron un total de 47 recipientes, los cuales produjeron 1.091 brotes: 377 pequeños; 482 medianos; 175 grandes sin raíz y 57 con raíz. Usando el SAH se obtuvo 89,5% de plantas aclimatizadas cuando se usaron brotes enraizados, y 41,6% a partir de brotes sin raíces. Con la combinación de las técnicas RITA y SAH se logró un sistema continuo y eficiente de producción de plantas sanas y fieles al tipo, en comparación con los métodos convencionales de micropropagación y aclimatización.<p><strong>Palabras clave</strong>: <em>Carica papaya</em>, RITA<sup>®</sup>, sistema autotrófico, estabilidad genética.</p><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>We standardized initiation, multiplication, rooting and acclimatization conditions of papaya cv Maradol hermaphrodite plants from axillary buds produced in temporary immersion reactor RITA<sup>®</sup>. Recipients contained 200 ml of Fitch liquid culture medium, and four shoots of 2 to 3 cm. in length were placed in each. The bioreactors were connected to three different immersion lines of 5, 2, and 1 min each 4h, with 6 containers per line on average, in 16 h photoperiod. After 30 to 45 days, the shoots produced were quantified and classified according to size: <2 cm (small), from 2 to 3 cm (medium), >3 cm with or without roots (large). The first two types of shoots were multiplied in the same culture media, and more elongated shoots were acclimatized using Autotrophic Hydroponic System (AHS). The sanity and fidelity of the produced plants were determined using ELISA and RAPD, respectively. For a period of six months 47 vessels were recycled and 1,091 shoots were produced: 377 small; 482 medium; 175 large without roots and 57 rooted shoots. Using AHS, 89.5% acclimatized plants were obtained when rooted shoots were used, and 41.6% from rootless shoots. With the combination of RITA and AHS techniques we achieved a continuous and efficient production of healthy and true to type papaya plants, in comparison to conventional micropropagation and acclimatization procedures.</p><p><strong>Key words</strong>: <em>Carica</em><em> papaya</em>, RITA<sup>®</sup>, autotrophic system, genetic stability.</p><p><strong>Recibido:</strong> mayo 16 de 2014<strong> Aprobado: </strong>abril 21 de 2015</p>
The cultivar Red Maradol native of Cuba, has morphological and agronomic features superior to local cultivars and adapted to soils and climates of Venezuela; that is why it is grown in a greater proportion and has been widely accepted by farmers, traders and consumers. However, the lack of availability and high cost of imported seeds limit its expansion in the country. The aim of this work was to select andromonoecious plants from different sources and locations, based on morphological and agronomic characteristics, and produce good quality seeds by self-pollinations. The characteristics for selection were based on those of the cultivar, such as: beginning of flowering between 3 and 4 months after transplant to the field, height of flowering less than or equal to 80 cm, beginning of fruiting before 4 months, height of plants less than 2 m, among others features. Selected plants showed low percentage of sterility, 30 and 64 fruits.plant-1, fruit weights between 1.4 to 1.7 kg, and estimated yields between 42.5 and 98.50 kg.plant-1 yields. Regarding fruit quality, they were elongated and smooth, wide orange-red color pulp. These populations are considered the basis for the production of good quality seeds, to continue the process of selection of more productive pure lines and hybrids.
The combination of traits of economic interest in new potato cultivars, such as resistance to late blight, viral diseases, and culinary quality are important to achieve their adoption by farmers. In the present work, molecular markers were used to identify regions associated to late blight, the viruses PVY and PLRV resistance, in 50 materials belonging to the National Institute of Agricultural Research (INIA-Venezuela): commercial cultivars, differentials of blight, advanced clones from CIP and hybrids from the Fundación PROINPA of Bolivia. DNA extraction was carried out from vitroplants and known microsatellite, SCAR and CAPS molecular markers were used. Among 96 to 26% of the accessions amplified regions of the QTL tbr of chromosome XII, associated with resistance to blight. Only the differential R9 and crc2/P8 from PROINPA amplified the R1 gene region. Between 18 and 68% of the genotypes presented the regions associated with the PVY and PLRV resistance genes (Ryadg and N genes), respectively; only 10% amplified both regions; while in 24% these genes were not detected, among them are the commercial varieties Granola, Andinita and Cartayita. This study generated valuable information to support genebank curators and breeders in potato genetic improvement programs of this country.
