Partial desiccation of mature embryo-derived calli, a simple treatment that dramatically enhances the regeneration ability of indica rice

Abstract: Regeneration of indica rice varieties remains a limiting factor for researchers undertaking rice Iransformation experiments. As reported for japonica rice and other crops, partial desiccation of indica rice calli dramatically promotes organogenesis and leads to high regeneration ability. We are now able to obtain 66.5%, 61.1% and 73.7% of calli that regenerate plants for the indica varieties TN1, IR72 and IR64 whereas in non desiccated controls only 30.0%, 15.5% and 18.7% of calli regenerated, respectively.

“…They found that a desiccation treatment of 12 hours induced significantly more somatic embryos than 6, 24 or 48 hoursdesiccation. For Indica rice, Rance et al (1994) assumed that the desiccation treatment might trigger rapid biochemical changes in the calli and under water stress specific enzymes or polypeptides probably appear in callus culture.…”

“…Partial desiccation has been reported to accelerate plant organogenesis or embryogenesis and results in high regeneration ability significantly in grape (Gray, 1989), wheat (Cheng et al, 2003), Brassica napus (Kott & Beversdorf, 1990), rice (Rance et al, 1994;Saharan et al, 2004;Tsukahara & Hirosawa, 1992) and cassava (Mathews et al, 1993). The possible mechanism about its promotion on plant regeneration capacity may be that partial desiccation terminates the developmental mode and "switches" the embryo into a germination mode (Attree et al, 1991).…”

“…The possible mechanism about its promotion on plant regeneration capacity may be that partial desiccation terminates the developmental mode and "switches" the embryo into a germination mode (Attree et al, 1991). Partial desiccation not only enhances the plant regeneration efficiency, but also benefits the plant organogenesis or embryogenesis and subsequent differentiated stage, and thus reduces the whole time in plant tissue culture (Rance et al, 1994). In addition to the positive effect on wheat organogenesis or embryogenesis, partial desiccation during co-culture greatly enhances the transformation efficiency through inhibiting the growth of Agrobacterium which will suppress the recovery of wheat tissue, and favoring the transfer DNA (T-DNA) delivery (Cheng et al, 2003).…”
