Comparative analysis of cell cycle events in zygotic and somatic embryos of Cyclamen persicum indicates strong resemblance of somatic embryos to recalcitrant seeds

Abstract: Embryo development and germination of Cyclamen persicum have been comparatively characterized for zygotic and somatic embryos with regard to mitotic activity and morphology in order to identify developmental abnormalities in somatic embryogenesis. Zygotic embryo development proved to be highly synchronous with distinct periods of cell division, cell elongation and embryo maturation within a total period of 17 weeks of seed development. Somatic embryo development was accomplished within only 3 weeks, resulting … Show more

“…Over the past 20 years, various studies on somatic embryo development have been conducted, but most were limited to physiological description (Ruffoni et al 2000) or on improvement of culture methods (Kiviharju et al 1992;Kreuger et al 1995;Schwenkel and Winkelmann 1998). As Cyclamen embryos are relatively large in size, they offer advantages over those of D. carota or Arabidopsis thaliana for studying the mechanism of somatic embryogenic development analyses; C. persicum is a well-described system for somatic embryogenesis study in dicotylendons (Schmidt et al 2006).…”

“…For example, You et al (2011) noted that some C. persicum cultivars were recalcitrant to somatic embryogenesis. C. persicum showed very low levels of somatic embryogenesis when mature tissues or organs were used as explants Schmidt et al 2006). In addition, there was a considerable decrease in the embryogenic competence of C. persicum callus as subcultures increased Winkelmann et al 2004).…”

“…Starting from embryogenic callus, the removal of auxin, i.e. the culture on plant growth regulator (PGR) free medium, leads to the realisation of embryogenesis undergoing the typical stages as globular and finally torpedo-shaped embryos within 4 weeks (Schmidt et al 2006). After germination of these embryos healthy and genetically identical plants can be transferred to the greenhouse.…”

“…Somatic embryos of C. persicum have been shown to lack maturation-related characteristics like the accumulation of storage compounds (Winkelmann et al 2006;Rode et al 2011), desiccation (Winkelmann et al 2004) and a quiescence period (Schmidt et al 2006). This may correlate with inhomogeneous development and premature germination.…”
