However, for economically viable mass propagation, embryogenic cultures in liquid medium need to be developed. In this study, suspension cultures were initiated from embryo clusters obtained by secondary embryogenesis on a gelled medium lacking plant growth regulators. After 6 days of culture, these embryo clusters generated high cell density suspensions that also contained small organized structures (embryos and embryogenic clumps). As the culture duration increased, tissue necrosis and fewer embryogenic structures were observed and the establishment of suspension cultures failed. An alternative method was found adequate for initiation of embryogenic suspensions: embryo clusters from gelled medium were brieﬂy shaken in liquid medium and detached cells and embryogenic masses of 41–800 lm were used as inoculum. Maintenance of embryogenic suspensions was achieved using a low-density inoculum (43 mg l -1 ) by subculturing four embryogenic clumps of 0.8–1.2 mm per 70 ml of medium. Proliferation ability was maintained for almost 1 year through ten consecutive subcultures. The initiation and maintenance protocols ﬁrst developed for a single genotype were effective when tested on 11 cork oak genotypes.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Álvarez-Fernández, Rubén</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ordás, Ricardo-Javier</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loyola-Vargas, Víctor M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ochoa-Alejo, Neftalí</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Improved Genetic Transformation of Cork Oak (Quercus suber L.)</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Cell Culture Protocols SE - 28</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AGL1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agrobacterium tumefaciens</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fagaceae</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Herbicide Resistance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">kanamycin resistance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Somatic embryogenesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tree genetic transformation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-61779-818-4_28</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humana Press</style></publisher><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">877</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">385 - 399 LA -- English</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">978-1-61779-817-7</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">An Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system for selected mature Quercus suber L. trees has been established.

To evaluate the potential use of this protocol in cork oak forest breeding programs, it is essential to guarantee somatic embryos/emblings genetic stability. Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is currently used to assess somaclonal variation providing information on genetic variability of the micropropagation process. In this work, SE was induced from adult trees by growing leaf explants on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D and zeatin. Embling conversion took place on MS medium without growth regulators. DNA from donor tree, somatic embryos and emblings was used to assess genetic variability by RAPD fingerprinting. Fourteen primers produced 165 genetic loci with high quality and reproducibility. Despite somatic embryos originated some poor quality PCR-profiles, replicable and excellent fingerprints were obtained for both donor plant and embling. Results presented no differences among regenerated emblings and donor plant. Hence, the SE protocol used did not induce, up to moment, any genetic variability, confirming data previously obtained with other molecular/genetic techniques, supporting that this protocol may be used to provide true-to-type plants from important forestry species.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celestino, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hernández, I.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lopez-Vela, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carneros, E.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alegre, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toribio, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fernandez-Guijarro, B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cardo, L.</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santamaria, JM and Desjardins</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">First data from a field trial of Quercus suber plants regenerated from mature selected trees and from their half-sib progenies by somatic embryogenesis</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Acclimatization and Establishment of Micropropagated Plants</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">field establishment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">rejuvenation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Somatic embryogenesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">woody plant micro-propagation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE</style></publisher><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">215 - 218</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">978-90-6605-550-6</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Somatic embryogenesis is considered as the most suitable current regeneration technique for the conservation and genetic improvement of tree species. The ability to induce somatic embryogenesis in leaves from mature trees gives the possibility to compare the performance of the parent trees and their progenies at the same age and place of test. Somatic seedlings were regenerated from five selected cork oak trees and from young plants of their half-sib progenies. They were planted in the field conjointly with zygotic seedlings of these families, to test the comparisons somatic vs. zygotic origin and somatic from mature trees vs. somatic from juvenile seedlings. The effect of genotype and kind of progeny will be studied in a complete factorial design; therefore the field trial comprised 15 treatments arranged in five completely randomised blocks. Each experimental unit included three plants that were distributed following a row and column pattern. Fist survival and height data after six and twelve months of establishment are provided. All plants from seeds survived while almost the half of somatic seedlings died after the winter and they were replaced. Almost 70% of these plants survived after the following summer. There were no differences between somatic seedlings of mature or juvenile origin. Zygotic seedlings doubled the height of the somatic ones after one year in the field, and within these plants those of mature origin grew slightly more than those of juvenile source. Differences due to genotype and family effects were noticeable. No apparent morphological alterations were detected among the three kinds of tested progenies.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;periodical: Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Acclimatization and Establishment of Micropropagated Plants&lt;br/&gt;issue: 748&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: PO BOX 500, 3001 LEUVEN 1, BELGIUM</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alvarez, Rubén</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toribio, Mariano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cortizo, Millán</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ordás Fernández, Ricardo-Javier</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wang, K.</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork Oak Trees (Quercus suber L.).</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AGL1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agrobacterium tumefaciens</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fagaceae</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">kanamycin resistance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pBINUbiGUSint</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Somatic embryogenesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tree genetic transformation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">β-glucuronidase</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17033056</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humana Press</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Totowa</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">344</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">113 - 123</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A transformation system for selected mature Quercus suber L. trees using Agrobacterium tumefaciens has been established.

The conversion rate was favoured by high carbohydrate content as long as the maturation medium contained at least 2% sucrose, which was necessary for healthy embryo development. Given this, sorbitol and mannitol favoured the conversion rate more efficiently than sucrose, the highest rate, 32%, being achieved by medium with 6% sorbitol and 3% sucrose. Maturation treatment did not affect the root or shoot lengths of converted embryos. In supplementary experiments, 2 weeks of gibberellic acid treatment between maturation and germination treatments did not improve germination rates, but did reduce root length and the number of leaves per regenerated plantlet. In the four embryogenic lines tested, plant recovery rate was enhanced by inclusion of benzyladenine into the germination medium following culture of the embryos on maturation medium with 6% sorbitol and 2-3% sucrose. In embryogenic systems it is important to assess the uniformity of the regenerants. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis using 32 arbitrary oligonucleotide primers was performed to study variability in DNA sequences within and between four embryogenic lines. No intraclonal nor interclonal polymorphism was detected between embryogenic lines originating from different types of explant from the same seedling, but every one of the primers detected enough polymorphism among clones originating from different plants to allow these three origins to be distinguished. No differences in DNA sequences between regenerated plantlets and their somatic embryos of origin were detected, but a nodular callus line that had lost its embryogenic capacity was found to be mutant with respect to three other clones originating from the same plantlet. This study shows that high carbohydrate levels in the maturation medium significantly increase plant conversion of oak somatic embryos, which exhibit no variation in DNA sequences when proliferated by secondary embryogenesis.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;accession-num: 12872492</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hornero, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinez, I.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celestino, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallego, F.

Previous work in Quercus suber L. using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers showed no genetic variation among somatic embryos within embryogenic lines of zygotic origin. Genetic fingerprinting based on amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) allows the direct analysis of variation at the entire DNA level by generating more reproducible markers than RAPDs. To confirm the absence of genetic variation within six embryogenic lines of zygotic origin, six primer pairs were selected out of 48 combinations of primers for revealing up to 512 AFLP markers, 301 of them (58.8%) being polymorphic. The mean number of markers per genotype was 375. Again differences were recorded among embryogenic lines, even between those that arose from half-sib zygotic embryos, but no variation was observed among somatic embryos within embryogenic lines. To check variation in embryogenic lines raised from non-embryonic tissues, somatic embryogenesis was induced in expanding leaves collected from sprouts originating in three mature cork oak. DNA was extracted from leaves and from somatic embryos derived from each tree, and three primer pairs showed 165, 110, and 108 markers per genotype/tree, respectively. In one tree, AFLP patterns generated from leaves and somatic embryos were identical, but variation was detected in samples from the other two trees. Although the level of genetic variation detected in these lines (5.6% and 7.3% of polymorphism, respectively) is lower than that recorded for half sibs of cork oak (25%–31%), its influence on phenotypic variation needs further assessment.

Only strains of this species coming from fruit bodies collected in Quercus suber stands (strain QS241 and strain QS247) formed ectomycorrhizas, and hence these species seem to exhibit host adaptation.

However, electric components of phytotrons generate electromagnetic ﬁelds that may act as a environmental factor inﬂuencing plant growth and morphogenesis. Isolated somatic embryos of Quercus suber, picked from embryogenic lines, were chronically exposed to a 50 Hz and 15 µT electromagnetic ﬁeld generated in a Helmholtz-coil system for 8 weeks, in order to examine if the extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic ﬁeld (MF) affected the morphogenic behaviour of embryogenic cultures during recurrent embryogenesis. Germination of somatic embryos from genotype G7.1 was carried out under the same electromagnetic ﬁeld, and also under conditions in which the local geomagnetic ﬁeld was suppressed. The ELF MF did not inﬂuence the growth of embryogenic clumps of the assayed genotypes, but reduced the number of detachable embryos produced by genotype G3.27. The ELF MF did not modify the percentages of germination or plant formation of somatic embryos. However, somatic embryos had better germination when cultured under the suppressed geomagnetic ﬁeld condition.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fernández-Guijarro, Bárbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celestino, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toribio, Mariano</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of external factors on secondary embryogenesis and germination in somatic embryos from leaves of Quercus suber</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">culture media</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">plant regeneration</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">recurrent embryogenesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">repetitive embryogenesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Somatic embryogenesis</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1995</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1995///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/BF00051578</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">41</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99 - 106</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Somatic embryogenesis was obtained in cultures of leaves from young seedlings of Quercus suber L. A two- stage process, in which benzyladenine and naphthaleneacetic acid were added first at high and then at low concentrations, was required to initiate the process. Somatic embryos arose when the explants were subsequently placed on medium lacking plant growth regulators. The embryogenic lines remained productive, by means of secondary embryogenesis, on medium without growth regulators. However, this repetitive induction was influenced by the macronutrient composition of the culture medium. Both low total nitrogen content and high reduced nitrogen concentration decreased the percentage of somatic embryos that showed secondary embryogenesis. Our results suggest that alternate culture on medium that increases embryo proliferation and a low salt medium prohibiting embryo formation will partially synchronize embryo development. Chilling slightly reduced secondary embryogenesis but gave a modest increase in germination. Maturation under light followed by storage at 4 °C for at least 30 days gave the best results in switching embryos from an embryogenic pathway to a germinative one. Under these conditions 15% of embryos showed coordinated root and shoot growth and 35% formed either shoots or mostly roots. These percentages were higher than those of embryos matured in darkness. This result indicates that a specific treatment is required after maturation and before chilling to activate the switch from secondary embryo formation to germination.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bueno, M.
