Potential Application of Haploid Cultures of Tree Species

  • Chapter
Genetic Manipulation of Woody Plants

Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC,volume 44))

Abstract

Haploid cultures are useful: (a) to unmask cryptic recessive genetic information; (b) to produce completely homozygous diploid plants in the shortest possible time; (c) to establish gene maps; and (d) to produce somatic hybrids through protoplast fusion. During each of the last three summers we have obtained embryogenic haploid callus from megagametophytes of Larix decidua. Key factors in establishing these cultures are collection date, and 2,4-D and glutamine in the medium. Cultures have remained embryogenic through more than 50 subcultures over three years. The callus is initiated by repetitive, strongly polar divisions. Groups of small cells eventually form embryos. Embryos are also formed from multinucleate cells in a fashion somewhat similar to zygotic embryogenesis.
