Effect of Various Stress Factors on the Induction of Androgenesis in Anther Cultures of Brussels Sprouts (Brassica oleracea L. var. gemmifera)

Effect of Various Stress Factors on the Induction of Androgenesis in Anther Cultures of Brussels Sprouts (Brassica oleracea L. var. gemmifera) Six cultivars of Brussels sprouts were used in the experiments: Ajax F1, Diablo F1, Icarus F1, Maximus F1, Topline F1, Philemon F1. Three experiments were set up to study the effect of 3 stress factors on the induction of androgenesis: ‘warm’ (+35°C) thermal shock (stress), ‘cold’ (+4°C) thermal shock (stress), and stress caused by the cutting-off of the top ends of anthers before they were laid out on the induction medium. The obtained androgenic embryos of Brussels sprouts were used to regenerate shoots on medium B5 (Gamborg et al. 1968) with 20 mg·L-1 kinetin and 20 g·L-1 sucrose, which were then induced to take root on medium B5 containing 1 mg·L-1 IAA and 30 g·L-1 sucrose. The ‘warm’ (+35°C) shock for 24 hours proved to be an effective stimulus for inducing androgenesis in anther cultures of Brussels sprouts. The ‘cold’ (+4°C) thermal shock was less beneficial. Extending the time of treatment with low temperature (to 48, 96, and 144 hrs) was also less effective than the +35°C ‘warm’ shock for 24 hours. Differences were found in the response of the cultivars, and even clones, to the types of shocks employed. For Maximus F1 - the less embriogenic cultivar - the most beneficial stimulus proved to be the cutting-off of the top parts of anthers prior to setting up cultures. As a result of the three passages, from each surviving embryo the authors managed to obtain a number of plants sufficient for carrying out further stages of the breeding process. Wpływ Różnych Warunków Stresowych Na Indukcję Androgenezy W Kulturach Pylnikowych Kapusty Brukselskiej (Brassica oleracea L. var. gemmifera) Do badań użyto 6 odmian kapusty brukselskiej: Ajax F1, Diablo F1, Icarus F1, Maximus F1, Topline F1, Philemon F1. W trzech doświadczeniach badano wpływ 3 czynników stresowych na indukcję androgenezy: szok (stres) termiczny "ciepły" (temperatura + 35°C), szok (stres) termiczny "zimny" (temperatura + 4°C) oraz stres polegający na odcinaniu górnych końców pylników przed wyłożeniem ich na pożywkę. Z otrzymanych androgenetycznych zarodków kapusty brukselskiej regenerowano pędy na pożywce B5 (Gamborg i in. 1968) z 20 mg·L-1 kinetyny i 20 g·L-1 sacharozy, które ukorzeniano na na pożywce B5 zawierającej 1 mg·L-1 IAA i 30 g·L-1 sacharozy. Szok "ciepły" +35°C przez 24 godziny okazał się bodźcem efektywnie wywołującym androgenezę w kulturach pylnikowych kapusty brukselskiej. Szok termiczny "zimny" był mniej korzystny. Również przedłużenie działania niską temperaturą (do 48; 96; 144 godzin) było mniej efektywne niż szok ciepły +35°C przez 24 godziny. Stwierdzono różnice w reakcji odmian, a nawet klonów na stosowane szoki. Dla mniej embriogennej odmiany Maximus F1 najkorzystniejsze okazało się obcinanie górnych fragmentów pylników przed założeniem kultury. W ciągu trzech pasaży udało się otrzymać z każdego zarodka, liczbę roślin wystarczającą do prowadzenia dalszych etapów procesu hodowlanego.
