To date, however, the application of this technology to mature trees is restricted to a few species. This is the first report on the induction of SE from male catkins of 100-year-old holm oaks (Quercus ilex L.). Embryogenic competence was mainly dependent on genotype and restricted to the most advanced catkin developmental stage with distinguishable closed flowers along the axis. Fol- lowing a three-stage treatment procedure, embryogenic response (frequencies up 3.3 %) was obtained in three [Remedio, Villar del Arzobispo (VA) and Hunde (HU)] out of the five genotypes evaluated. In the culture conditions tested, the preferred protocol to induce SE in holm oak catkins should include: induction on MS medium with 6-benzyladenine and naphthaleneacetic acid, subculture onto medium with a reduced concentration of both plant growth regulators and a final transference to medium without growth regulators. Under these conditions cotyledonary-stage cotyledonary-stage somatic embryos developed from brown calli with or without nodular structures. Secondary SE, favored by the addition of sorbitol to the manifestation medium, allowed the establishment of 14 embryogenic lines belonging to VA and HU genotypes. Histological observations of the proliferating cultures revealed the presence of globular, torpedo and cotyledonary somatic embryos. Somatic embryos were diploid as verified by flow cytometry analysis, suggesting that they originated from the perianthic tissue of the male flower</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</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%">Ruiz-Gómez, Francisco J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sánchez-Cuesta, Rafael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Navarro-cerrillo, Rafael M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pérez-de-Luque, Alejandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A method to quantify infection and colonization of holm oak (Quercus ilex) roots by Phytophthora cinnamomi.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant methods</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">histology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holm oak decline</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">infection degree</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Microscopy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytophthora</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">root rot</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">39</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ABSTRACT: Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands. is an important root rot pathogen widely distributed in the north hemisphere, with a large host range. Among others diseases, it is known to be a principal factor in the decline of holm oak and cork oak, the most important tree species in the &quot;dehesa&quot; ecosystem of south-western Spain. Previously, the focus of studies on P. cinnamomi and holm oak have been on molecular tools for identification, functional responses of the host, together with other physiological and morphological host variables. However, a microscopic index to describe the degree of infection and colonization in the plant tissues has not yet been developed. A colonization or infection index would be a useful tool for studies that examine differences between individuals subjected to different treatments or to individuals belonging to different breeding accessions, together with their specific responses to the pathogen. This work presents a methodology based on the capture and digital treatment of microscopic images, using simple and accessible software, together with a range of variables that quantify the infection and colonization process.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22974221</style></accession-num></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%">MAÂTAOUI, M E L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Espagnac, H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MICHAUX-FERRIÈRE, N</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Histology of Callogenesis and Somatic Embryogenesis Induced in Stem Fragments of Cork Oak (Quercus suber) Cultured In Vitro</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Annals of Botany</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">callogenesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cork-oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">embryogenic cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">histology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber L.</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">secondary embryogenesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Somatic embryogenesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">starch</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1990</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">66</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">183-190</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calluses able to produce somatic embryos were formed during in vitro culture of shoot fragments of cork oak (Quercus suber L.).Histological monitoring of these fragments during culture showed that it was the cortical parenchyma cells which underwent dedifferentiation before calluses were formed by repeated divisions. The calluses consisted of parenchyma cells surrounded by a few layers of meristematic cells. Proembryos formed in groups around the edge of some calluses. Histological examination showed that they were produced by the evolution of two different categories of cell: one category had the appearance of ‘embryogenic’ cells with very thick walls, a small vacuole rich in starch and a well-developed nucleus with a prominent nucleolus. The other cells were very bulky with large vacuoles; their morphology was similar to that of suspensor cells encountered in embryogenesis in gymnosperms. The ontogenic stages were similar to those described in zygotic embryos of the genus Quercus. Nevertheless, most of the embryonic structures deviated from normal development and at all stages produced secondary proembryos.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
