What is Plant Tissue Culture?

“… the aseptic culture of plant protoplasts, cells, tissues or organs under conditions which lead to cell multiplication or regeneration of organs or whole plants “

Page 3: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Totipotency ….… each living cell has a complete genetic blueprint and therefore has the potential to develop into an entire plant.

… cells lines differentiate to form specialisedtissues and organs

… unlike animal cells, living plant cells can de-differentiate and then re-differentiate to form different cell types

… complete genetic blue print

… cells differentiate

… living plant cells can re-differentiate

Page 4: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

tissue can be regenerated from explants such as cotyledons,

hypocotyls, leaf, ovary, protoplast, petiole, root, anthers, etc.

Organogenesis: The process of initiation and development of a structure that shows natural organ form and/or function.

Embryogenesis: The process of initiation and development of embryos or embryo-like structures from somatic cells (Somatic embryogenesis).

What for?

• A more recent advance is the use of plant and animal tissue culture along with genetic modification using viral and bacterial vectors and gene guns to create genetically engineered organisms

First commercial use• The first commercial use of

plant clonal propagation on artificial media was in the germination and growth of orchid plants, in the 1920’s

• In the 1950’s and 60’s there was a great deal of research, but it was only after the development of a reliable artificial medium (Murashige & Skoog, 1962) that plant tissue culture really ‘took off’commercially

What is needed?Tissue culture has several critical requirements:

• Appropriate tissue (some tissues culture better than others)

• A suitable growth medium containing energy sources and inorganic salts to supply cell growth needs. This can be liquid or semisolid

• Aseptic (sterile) conditions, as microorganisms grow much more quickly than plant and animal tissue and can over run a culture

Page 13: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

What is Needed

• Growth regulators - in plants, both auxins & cytokinins.

• Frequent subculturing to ensure adequate nutrition and to avoid the build up of waste metabolites

Page 14: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Culturing Plant Tissue - the steps

• Selection of the plant tissue (explant) from a healthy vigorous ‘mother plant’ - this is often the apical bud, but can be other tissue

• This tissue must be sterilized to remove microbial contaminants

Page 15: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Callus – an undifferentiated tissue

Page 16: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Elimination of microbial contaminants

Surface contaminants - principally microbial saprophytes that are eliminated by surface disinfestation

Internal contaminants - principally pathogens that are eliminated by thermotherapy (35-40 C) and culture of explants free of organisms or by antibiotics

Maintenance of asepsis (free from microorganisms) - during excision and culture - procedures are carried out in sterile laminar flow positive pressure hoods (0.3 µm filters)

Culturing Plant Tissue - the steps• Establishment of the

explant in a culture medium. The medium sustains the plant cells and encourages cell division. It can be solid or liquid

• Each plant species has particular medium requirements that must be established by trial and error

Page 19: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Culture Medium constituents

• Inorganic salt formulations• Source of carbohydrate• Vitamins• Water• Plant hormones - auxins, cytokinins, GA’s• Solidifying agents

Page 20: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Composition of tissue culture medium is complex

Page 21: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

• Two Hormones Affect Plant Differentiation:– Auxin: Stimulates Root Development– Cytokinin: Stimulates Shoot Development

• Generally, the ratio of these two hormones can determine plant development:– ↑ Auxin ↓Cytokinin = Root Development– ↑ Cytokinin ↓Auxin = Shoot Development– Auxin = Cytokinin = Callus Development

Culturing Plant Tissue - the steps

• The rooted shoots are potted up (deflasked) and ‘hardened off’ by gradually decreasing the humidity

• This is necessary as many young tissue culture plants have no waxy cuticle to prevent water loss

Page 24: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture• Growth Media

– Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones• Environmental Factors

– Light, Temperature, Photoperiod, Sterility, Media• Explant Source

– Usually, the younger, less differentiated the explant, the better for tissue culture

• Genetics– Different species show differences in amenability to

tissue culture– In many cases, different genotypes within a species

will have variable responses to tissue culture; response to somatic embryogenesis has been transferred between melon cultivars through sexual hybridization

Page 25: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Why do Plant Tissue Culture?• A single explant can be multiplied into several

thousand plants in less than a year - this allows fast commercial propagation of new cultivars

• Taking an explant does not usually destroy the mother plant, so rare and endangered plants can be cloned safely

• Once established, a plant tissue culture line can give a continuous supply of young plants throughout the year

Page 26: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Why do Plant Tissue Culture? II• In plants prone to virus diseases, virus free

explants (new meristem tissue is usually virus free) can be cultivated to provide virus free plants

• Plant ‘tissue banks’ can be frozen, then regenerated through tissue culture

• Plant cultures in approved media are easier to export than are soil-grown plants, as they are pathogen free and take up little space (most current plant export is now done in this manner)

Tissue Culture Applications

- Micropropagation- Germplasm preservation- Somaclonal variation & mutation selection- Embryo Culture- Haploid & Dihaploid Production- In vitro hybridization – Protoplast Fusion- Industrial Products from Cell Cultures

Page 28: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

MicropropagationA single explant can be multiplied into several thousand plants in less than a year - this allows fast commercial propagation of new cultivars

Page 29: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Features of Micropropagation

• Clonal reproduction– Way of maintaining heterozygozity

• Multiplication stage can be recycled many times to produce an unlimited number of clones– Routinely used commercially for many ornamental

species, some vegetatively propagated crops• Easy to manipulate production cycles

– Not limited by field seasons/environmental influences• Disease-free plants can be produced

– Has been used to eliminate viruses from donor plants

Page 30: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Micropropagation

– generation of geneticalidentical plants

Page 31: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Micropropagation of almost all the fruit crops and vegetables

is possible now

• Some examples: dwarfing sweet cherry, Shade trees, Ornamental shrubs, Roses, Clematis, Lilacs, Saskatoon berries, Nutraceutical Plants, Rhododendron, Azalea, mustard, corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, cotton, tomato, potato, citrus, turf, legumes

Page 32: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Micropropagation- allows rapidpropagation of new varieties

- economical in time and space - disease free - elite propagules

example: violets

Page 33: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Germplasm PreservationSlow growth techniques

o e.g.: ↓ Temp., ↓ Light, media supplements (osmotic inhibitors, growth retardants), tissue dehydration, etc…

o Medium-term storage (1 to 4 years)

Page 34: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Germplasm Preservation

Example:Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum)

Page 35: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Germplasm Preservation

Cryopreservationo Ultra low temperatures (-196 °C)o Stops cell division &

metabolic processeso Very long-term (indefinite?)

Page 36: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Cryopreservation Requirements• Storage

– Usually in liquid nitrogen (-196oC) to avoid changes in ice crystals that occur above -100oC

• Thawing– Usually rapid thawing to avoid damage from ice crystal

growth

• Recovery - Thawed cells must be washed of cryoprotectantsand nursed back to normal growth– Avoid callus production to maintain genetic stability

Page 37: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Cryopreservation Requirements

• Preculturing– Usually a rapid growth rate to create cells with small

vacuoles and low water content• Cryoprotection

– Glycerol, DMSO, PEG, etc…, to protect against ice damage and alter the form of ice crystals

• Freezing– The most critical phase; one of two methods:

• Slow freezing allows for cytoplasmic dehydration• Quick freezing results in fast intercellular freezing with little

dehydration

Page 38: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Embryo Culture

Embryo culture developed from the need to rescue embryos (embryo rescue) from wide crosses where fertilization occurred, but embryo development did not occur

Page 39: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Embryo Culture Uses

• Rescue F1 hybrid from a wide cross• Overcome seed dormancy, usually with

addition of hormone to media (GA)• To overcome immaturity in seed

– To speed generations in a breeding program– To rescue a cross or self (valuable genotype) from

dead or dying plant

Page 40: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Embryo Culture Uses

Example: Anthurium

Rescue F1 hybrid from a wide cross

Page 41: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Embryo Rescue Process• Make cross between two species• Dissect embryo (usually immature)

– The younger the embryo, the more difficult to culture

• Grow on culture medium using basic tissue culture techniques, use for breeding if fertile

• Many times, resulting plants will be haploid because of lack of pairing between the chromosomes of the different species– This can be overcome by doubling the chromosomes,

creating allotetraploids

Somaclonal Variation

• There are two general types of Somaclonal Variation:– Heritable, genetic changes (alter the DNA)– Stable, but non-heritable changes (alter gene

expression, epigenetic)

– used in mutation breeding

Somaclonal Breeding Procedures

• Use plant cultures as starting material– Idea is to target single cells in multi-cellular culture– Usually suspension culture, but callus culture can work

(want as much contact with selective agent as possible)

• Optional: apply physical or chemical mutagen• Apply selection pressure to culture

– Target: very high kill rate, you want very few cells to survive, so long as selection is effective

• Regenerate whole plants from surviving cells

Page 51: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental
Page 52: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Somaclonal/Mutation Breeding

• Advantages– Screen very high populations (cell based)– Can apply selection to single cells

• Disadvantages– Many mutations are non-heritable– Requires dominant mutation (or double recessive

mutation); most mutations are recessive

Page 53: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Industrial Products from Cell Cultures

• Secondary metabolites produced by plants– Alkaloids, Terpenoids, Steroids, Anthocyanins,

Polyphenols• Often unclear function in the plant• Often restricted production (specific species,

tissue or organ)• Many are commercially valuable• Cell culture techniques allow large-scale

production of specific secondary metabolites

Culturing Plant Tissue - the steps

• Multiplication- The explant gives rise to a callus (a mass of loosely arranged cells) which is manipulated by varying sugar concentrations and the auxin (low): cytokinin(high) ratios to form multiple shoots

• The callus may be subdivided a number of times

Dividing shoots

Warmth and good light are essential

Page 67: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Advantages Cont’d

• facilitates safer movements of germplasmacross nations - In vitro germplasm assures the exchange of pest and disease free material

• great for – vegetatively reproduced crops – crops which produce few seeds or highly

heterozygous seeds.

Vegetative Propagation in Nature• Layering - a drooping lower branch contacts

the soil (pressed down by snow or vegetation); roots form at point of soil contact forming a new genetically identical tree

• When trees of some species are cut down, new shoots emerge from the stump

• strawberries spread through sending out above-ground horizontal shoots called runners, also called stolons.

Successes of Somaclonal/Mutation BreedingHerbicide Resistance and Tolerance• Resistance: able to break-down or metabolize the herbicide –

introduce a new enzyme to metabolize the herbicide• Tolerance: able to grow in the presence of the herbicide –

either ↑ the target enzyme or altered form of enzyme– Most successful application of somaclonal breeding have been

herbicide tolerance– Glyphosate resistant tomato, tobacco, soybean (GOX enzyme)– Glyphosate tolerant petunia, carrot, tobacco and tomato (elevated EPSP

(enolpyruvyl shikimate phosphate synthase))• But not as effective as altered EPSP enzyme (bacterial sources)

– Imazaquin (Sceptor) tolerant maize• Theoretically possible for any enzyme-targeted herbicide – it’s

relatively easy to change a single enzyme by changing a single gene

Page 74: plant tissue culture for PDF - جامعة نزوى...Factors Affecting Plant Tissue Culture • Growth Media – Minerals, Growth factors, Carbon source, Hormones • Environmental

Other Targets for Somaclonal Variation• Specific amino acid accumulators

– Screen for specific amino acid production– e.g. Lysine in cereals

• Abiotic stress tolerance– Add or subject cultures to selection agent– e.g.: salt tolerance, temperature stresses, etc…

• Disease resistance– Add toxin or culture filtrate to growth media– Examples shown on next slide →

Requirements for Somaclonal/Mutation Breeding• Effective screening procedure

– Most mutations are deleterious• With fruit fly, the ratio is ~800:1 deleterious to beneficial

– Most mutations are recessive• Must screen M2 or later generations• Consider using heterozygous plants?

– But some say you should use homozygous plants to be sure effect is mutation and not natural variation

• Haploid plants seem a reasonable alternative if possible– Very large populations are required to identify desired

mutation: • Can you afford to identify marginal traits with replicates & statistics?

Estimate: ~10,000 plants for single gene mutant• Clear Objective

– Can’t expect to just plant things out and see what happens; relates to having an effective screen

– This may be why so many early experiments failed

Tissue Culture in Plant Breeding

• rescue crosses which would otherwise abort• Only method of reproduction for sterile

plants such as triploids (e.g., bananas)• combine desirable root characteristics with

desirable shoot characteristics (e.g., grapes) • Haploid generation through anther/pollen

culture is an important area in crop improvement
