“…Many Japanese plum varieties that are currently cultivated in Europe and the Americas were originally obtained from Japanese materials and accessions of Prunus simonii Carr. and Periplaneta americana Mars brought to California by the end of the 19th century (Okie and Ramming, 1999). The plum varieties currently available in Turkey have been identified as Prunus cerasifera Ehrh., Prunus domestica L., Prunus institia L., Prunus spinosa L., P. salicina Lindl., and P. simonii Carr.…”

“…This study indicates that hypocotyls derived from mature seeds are an effective explant for regeneration for P. salicina. P. salicina and P. domestica are two closely related plants among Prunus species (Okie and Ramming 1999). Shoots could be induced from hypocotyls of mature seeds of both species; however, induction frequency was, in general, lower for P. salicina compared to that of P. domestica (Tian et al 2007).…”

“…salicina and P. domestica are two major fruit plants in plum species (Okie and Ramming 1999). P. domestica is a hexaploid plant, and thus, has a large genome size and complex genetic composition.…”

“…P. domestica is a hexaploid plant, and thus, has a large genome size and complex genetic composition. On the other hand, P. salicina and most other plum species are diploid (Scorza et al 1995;Okie and Ramming 1999). Development of regeneration and transformation technology for P. salicina not only provides a technology for genetic improvement of this species, it can also provide an important system for various molecular studies in this crop as well as other related species.…”

“…For instance, transgenic European plum with a new trait has been released for field trials (Scorza et al 2001). P. salicina, commonly called Japanese plum, is an important Prunus fruit crop and is widely grown across the world (Okie and Ramming 1999;Bellini et al 2002;Kaufmane et al 2002;Szabo and Nyeki 2002;Capote et al 2006). However, very little cell culture and regeneration work has been reported for P. salicina.…”

Plant regeneration of Prunus salicina (Japanese plum) using mature seeds was studied and evaluated. Shoots were effectively induced from hypocotyl slices of mature seeds on media containing cytokinins. Among three plant growth regulators evaluated, thidiazuron (TDZ) was the most effective for shoot induction overall. Shoots were also induced using 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), but the effectiveness was reduced at low concentrations. Low regeneration was induced using kinetin. Three plum varieties were evaluated and the regeneration appeared to be genotype dependent. Induced shoots elongated, roots formed, and plantlets developed upon transfer of the shoots to the rooting medium. Primary shoots, when sub-cultured on fresh induction medium, produced multiple shoots, and such multiplication could continue for more cycles. The plantlets were transferred to soil, and the full plants were readily recovered in a greenhouse. The regeneration process was relatively fast as plants could be recovered in 4 to 5 mo. after the culture initiation.

Plums arose in three distinct regions, European plums ( Prunus domestica and others) from southern Europe and Asia Minor, Japanese plums ( Prunus salicina and others) from China, and the American plums ( Prunus Americana and others) from North America. The two major commercial species of plum are P. domestica (primarily for the dried fruit industry) and P. salicina (primarily for the fresh fruit industry). Breeding efforts have resulted in many high quality fruit cultivars that have been adapted for various local environmental and disease pressures. At present though, there have been few successes in breeding for resistance to plum pox potyvirus, a virus that not only affects the marketability of the fruit crop but the health of the tree. A number of research groups have begun to develop the techniques necessary to introduce resistance to plum pox virus through genetic engineering. These efforts have resulted in “HoneySweet”, a prune plum ( P. domestica ) that has been found to be highly resistant to plum pox virus in field trials. Work is continuing on improving the techniques used to engineer a plum pox virus‐resistant plum as well as producing more cultivars of plum with the resistance.
