Micropropagation Stages


The Whole objective of micropropagation is to produce large number of plants, which are able to survive under natural environmental conditions.Each micropropagation process has to pass through following stages:-

Stage 0:- Management of Donor plant/s (Source of explant)

Stage 1:- Establishment of aseptic cultures

Stage 2:- Multiplication of shoots and/or elongation

Stage 3:- Induction of roots

Stage 4:- Hardening, acclimatization and transfer of plants in soil



Stage 0:- Management of Donor plant/s (Source of explant)

It is not an essential stage of micropropagation but desirable in many cases.Particularly in tree species, to obtain suitable and responsive explants, the plants are lopped during off-season of growth and when new growth appears, the juvenile branches are used to obtain explants. Such explants are also free from contamination and easy to establish in culture.


Stage 1:- Establishment of aseptic cultures

The process of micropropagation starts with establishment of aseptic cultures and this is the most critical phase determining succcess. Explants have t be treated with suitable chemosterilant to make them free from contamination. For each type of explants and plant species, a procedure of surfave sterlization has to be standardized in order to obtain high percentage of aseptic but most proliferating cultures. While standardizing the procedure the TCDC formula is applied.

T = Selection of the TYPE of chemical to be used.

c = Effective CONCENTRATION of the selected chemical.

D = The required DURATION of the treatment.

c = A COMBINATION of the treatment if required.

Explants like root tubers, rhizomes, corms and nodal segments obtained from old branches of trees pose serious problem of contamination and may require a harsh treatment of longer duration involving one or more chemicals.

Stage 2:- Multiplication of shoots and/or elongation

The shoots which are produced via any of the following pathways of micropropagation can be multiplied for an indefinite period by repeated subculturing (transfer of multiplying shoots on fresh medium):

(a) Stimulated axillary bud proliferation

(b) De novo adventitious shoot bud differentiation

(c) Callus organogenesis

In case of somatic embryogenesis both shoot and root develop simultaneously (bipolarity) and therefore, there is no separate phases of shoot multiplication and rooting. Cytokinins are generally incorporated individually or in combination with small quantity of auxin/s to stimulate shoot multiplication. Benzyl amino purine (BAP) has been considered to be a better cytokinin as compared to kinetin (Kn) to obtain such response. The multiplied ahoot clusters may be divided into single or small group of shoots and transferred to fresh medium for further proliferation. The rate of multiplication can be controlled by the concentation of the cytokinin and the particular type used.

Stage 3:- Induction of roots

Except somatic embryogenesis all other pathways of micropropagation require a separate root induction phase. Shoots of suitable size are excised from multiplying shoot cultures and inoculated on a medium containing root inducing harmone. Auxins like indole-butyric acid (IBA), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and indole-acetic acid (IAA) are generally used in their various concentrations and combinations to induce roots in in vitro developed shoots. Indole-butyric acid (IBA) is the most commonly used root inducing harmone. The temperature is maintained around 26-28'c round the clock. All these factors together, make tissue culture plants adapted to luxury of culture conditions. Such plants when transferred ex vitro can not withstand the transplantation shock and die. In order to solve this problem, the tissue cultures plants are subjected to gradual and systematic hardening and acclimatization procedures enabling them to establish in soil successfully.

In this in vitro hardening procedure the culture bottles are kept in culture room in aseptic environment with their caps closed. In this step only sucrose and nutrients are withdrawn. The tissue culture plants resume normalcy with respect to photosynthetic activity and become autotrophic. Such bottles are subsequently shifted to greenhouse environment which maintains a reducing humidity gradient (80-55 %), a temperature regime of 28-32'c and a light intensity which is about ten times higher than the culture room.

Stage 4:- Hardening, acclimatization and transfer of plants in soil

The plants grown in tissue culture live in luxury and become adapted to such environment. In tissue culture media sucrose is provided as a source of carbon and this makes culture to grow either hetero- or mixoautotrophically. Although, the plants remain green, they carry out negligible photosynthetic activity. Presence of high moisture content in the culture vessel results into abnormal development (deformed guard cells) and behaviour (sluggish) of stomata. Leaves produced in culture also lack cuticle. In culture room, the light intensity is very low as makes the stomatal functioning normal and the plants are able to survive in  low humidity conditions. 

When the plants attain a reasonable height, they are transferred to polybags containing normal garden soil. Plants in polybags acclimatize to greenhouse environment and become suitable for transfer to either field or nursery. Adopting the above procedures ( or with modification, wherever necessory) a large number of tissue culture plants can be established in soil.

Micropropagation


Plants are conventially propagated either by sexual (through generation of seeds) or by asexual (by multiplication of vegetative parts) means. Emergence of modern methods of plant tissue culture has provided a very useful alternative which allows rapid propagation of desired plant species in a limited space under strict control of growth conditions. These plants are microbiologically sterile and thus exempt from quarantine regulations that may apply to export/import of normal plants. In vitro production of plants is generally described as micropropagation. Micropropagation (micro = small area of glass vessels; propagation = to increase the number of propagules) can be defined as asexual multiplication of plants in a small area of glass vessel (in vitro) under controlled physio-chemical conditions.


Micropropagation can be achieved by any one of the following pathways:

1. Stimulated axillary bud proliferation.

2. De novo adventitious shoot bud differentiation.

3. Somatic embryogenesis and

4. Callus organogenesis.


Every method has its own advantages and disadvantages and the choice of a particular pathway will depend upon them.


1. Stimulated shoot bud proliferation:- This method of in vitro propagation utilizes the clue from the basic physiological phenomenon in plants called as "apical dominance". Vascular plants with intermediate mode of growth have in their leaf axils subsidiary meristem with the potential for the growing into shoot. Apical dominance is the phenomenon by which the presence of apical bud causes a complete or partial inhibition of pre-existing lateral buds. In this method of micropropagation nodal segments having pre-existing but inhibited axillary shoot buds are used to stimulate proliferation of shoots in the presence of cytokinins. Nodal segments can be taken from both sexually mature or seedling (cotyledonary nodes) materials. In this method of micropropagation, the shoot multiplication may be initially slower than the other methods but with each passage the number of shoot increases logarithmically. This method is currently the most popular approach for clonal propagation of crop plants because the cells of the shoot apex are uniformly diploid and are least susceptible to genotypic changes under culture conditions.


2. De novo adventitious shoot bud proliferation:- Adventitious shoot buds are those which develop on any part of the plant such buds are not pre-existing and differentiate de novo. Bryophylium is the best example in nature where adventitious shoots buds differentiate on the margin of fleshy leaves. Such shoot buds develop roots and serve as propagules. Adventitious shoot buds can also be induced in vitro on a variety of explants such as hypocotyl segments, cotyledons, leaf, stem segments etc. Differentiated shoot buds on their subsequent subculture to fresh medium can be multiplied to obtain a regular crop of shoots.


3. Somatic embryogenesis:- Development of an embryo in nature is the consequence of fertilization. It is enclosed in cotyledons and the seed coat. Embryo is unique in the sense that it is bipolar in nature. On germination, it develops into shoot and root simultaneously. Such embryos which develop from somatic cells are called as somatic embryos. Somatic embryos can develop in two different ways:

(a). Direct somatic embryogenesis
(b). Indirect somatic embryogenesis

Direct somatic embryogeny can be induced on any explant such as hypocotyls, cotyledons, leaf, stem segments etc. Somatic embryo development begins with stimulation of few cells on the explant which from a globular structure subsequently developing into heart shaped, torpedo and cotyledonary stage embryos.The somatic embryos are borne naked and can easily be distinguished from the adventitious shoot buds. Somatic embryos are discrete units and lack vascular connection with the mother explant while adventitious shoot buds have continuity of vascularization with the mother explants.
In case of indirect somatic embryogeny, the embryo develops adventitiously with an intervening callus phase. Callus can be induced from a variety of explants and subsequently the embryos can be induced on it.




4. Callus organogenesis:- Callus is an unorganized mass of cells which can be induced on any explant grown on a suitable medium. Callus formation is basically a result of dedifferentiation (an explant which is differentiated tissue gets converted into dedifferentiated mass of cells). Callus can be multiplied in culture for indefinite period even in absence of light in culture room environment. Callus can again be induced to develop shoots by the phenomenon called redifferentiation (callus organogenesis). By manipulating plant growth regulator in the medium, both dedifferentiation (auxin rich medium) and redifferentiation (cytokinin rich medium) can be easily controlled. Durig callus formation, the cell to cell contact is lost and the cells seem to be in the state of "chaos".This result into somaclonal variation on account of genetic changes (ex. change in ploidy level) that occur in culture.







Arabidopsis Thaliana


Arabidopsis is an angiosperm, a dicot from the mustard family (Brassicaceae). It is popularly known as thale cress or mouse-ear cress. While is has no commercial value - in fact is considered a weed - it has proved to be an ideal organism for studying plant development.

Some of its advantages as a model organism:-

1. It has one of the smallest genomes in the plant kingdom: 115,409,949 base pairs of DNA distributed in 5 chromosomes (2n = 10).

2. Very little of this is "junk" DNA so most of the DNA encodes its 25,498 genes.

3. Transgenic plants can be made easily using Agrobacterium tumefaciens as the vector to introduce foreign genes.

4. The plant is small - a flat rosette of leaves from which grows a flower stalk 6-12 inches high.

5. It can be easily grown in the lab in a relatively small space.

6. Development is rapid. It only takes 5-6 weeks from seed germination to the production of a new crop of seeds.

7. It is a prolific producer of seeds (up to 10,000 per plant) making genetics studies easier.

8. Mutations can be easily generated (ex. by irradiating the seeds or treating them with mutagenic chemicals.

9. It is normally self-pollinated so recessive mutations quickly become homozygous and thus expressed.

10.Other members of its family cannot self-pollinate. They have an active system of self-incompatibility. Arabidopsis, however, has inactivating mutations in the genes - SRK and SCR - that prevent self-pollination in other members of the family.

11.However, Arabidopsis can easily be cross-pollinated to

   @ do genetic mapping and
   @ produce strains with multiple mutations.

Plant Hormone

Plant hormones also known as plant growth regulators (PGRs) and phytohormones) are chemicals that regulate a plant's growth. According to a standard animal definitions, hormones are signal molecules produced at specific locations, that occur in very low concentrations and cause altered processes in target cells at other locations. The word hormone is derived from Greek and means 'set in motion'. They are naturally produced within plants though very similar chemicals are produced by fungi and bacteria that can effect plant growth. The concentration of hormones required for plant responses are very low. Plant hormones affect gene expression and transcription levels, cellular division and growth.


The five major classes are:


1. Abscisic acid:- Abscisic acid also called ABA, was discovered and researched under two different names before its chemical properties were fully known,it was called dormin and abscicin 2. Once it was determined that the two latter named compounds were the same, it was named abscisic acid. The name "abscisic acid" was given because it was found in high concentrations in newly abscissed or freshly fallen leaves.

In plants that are water stressed, ABA plays a role in closing the stomata. Soon after plants are water stressed and the roots are deficient in water, a signal moves up to the leaves causing the formation on ABA precursors, these precursors moves to the roots which release ABA that is trans-located to the foliage through the vascular system, which regulates the potassium or sodium uptake within the guard cells then loses turgidity, closing the stomata.


2. Auxins:- Auxins are compounds that positively influence cell enlargement, bud formation and root initiation.They also promote the production of other hormones and in conjuction with cytokinins, they control the growth of stems, roots, flowers and fruits. Auxins were the first class of growth regulators discovered. They affect cell elongation by altering cell wall plasticity. Auxins decrease in light and increase where its dark. They stimulate cambium cells to divide and in stems cause secondary xylem to differentiate. Auxins act to inhibit the growth of buds lower down the stems, affecting a process called apical dominance and also promote lateral and adventitious root development and growth. Auxins especially NAA and IBA, are also commonly applied to stimulate root growth when taking cuttings of plants. The most common auxin found in plants is indoleacitic acid or IAA.
                                                           


3. Cytokinins:- Cytokinins are CKs are a group of chemicals that influence cell division and shoot formation. They were called Kinins in the past when the first cytokinins were isolated from yeast cells. They also help delay senescence or the aging of tissues are responsible for mediating auxin transport throughout the plant and affect internodel length and leaf growth. Cytokinins counter the apical dominance induced by auxins, they in
conjunction with ethylene promote abscission of leaves, flower parts and fruits.

4. Ethylene:- Ethylene is a gas that forms from the breakdown of methionine, which is in all cells. Ethylene has very limited solubility in water, and does not accumulate within the cell but diffuses out of the cell and escapes out of the plant. Its effectiveness as a plant hormone is dependent on its rate of escaping into the atmosphere. Ethylene is produced at a faster rate in rapidly growing and dividing cells especially in darkness. Ethylene affects cell growth and cell shape. Ethylene affects fruit ripening normally when the seeds are mature, ethylene production increases and builds-up within the fruit resulting in a climacteric event just before seed dispersal. The nuclear protein ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE 2 (EIN2) is regulated by ethylene production and in turn regulates other hormones including ABA and stress hormones.

5. Gibberellins:- Gibberellins or GAs include a large range of chemicals that are produced naturally within plants and by fungi. They were first discovered when japanese researches noticed a chemical produced by a fungus called Gibberella fujikuroi that produced abnormal growth in rice plants. They play a major role in seed germination, affecting enzyme production that mobilizes food production new cells need for growth. This is done by modulating chromosomal transcription. Gibberellins also reverse the inhibition of shoot growth and dormancy induced by ABA.

Plant Cell Growth

Growth is the self-multiplication of living material, the protoplasm it self. Growth is an increase in size (volume or length) duw to cell divisions and subsequent enlargement. It is an increase in dry weight or bulk of an organism associated with development.


Development is defined as an ordered change or progress, often towards a higher, more ordered or more complex state. Development may take place with growth and growth may take place with development.



Population growth is the increase in the total mass of cells making the population, or the increase in the total number of cells of the population. Individual growth is the increase in mass of the individual cell.

WHY GROWTH OCCURS?



Growth is expressed as the division of a cell to form two cells and the enlargement of the newly divided cells. When we say that cells double in all their constituents and then divide in half, we are obviously describing the average case. When we observe individual cells, however, we find deviations from the average. In some instances, the growth rate is constant rather than accelerating.

Mass of cells doubles and halves only in an average way and not in an exact way. Cells divide when they are ready and they are ready only when they have completed certain preparations for division.

CRITICAL MASS THEORY:-


In 1908 the German biologist Richard von Hertwig proposed the theory of the critical mass. In Hertwig's view a growing cell eventually reaches a size at which the ratio between the masses represented by cytoplasm on the one hand and the cell nucleus on the other becomes limiting. When that limiting ratio is reached, he proposed, some instability sets which triggers cell division. The nucleus-cytoplasm relation theory, as hertwig called it, does not hold up very well when mass alone is considered to be the factor that triggers cell division. Many exceptions to this hypothesis have accumulated that, although the division of cells usually parallels, an increase in cytoplasmic mass, this increase alone is not generally accepted as the fundamental mechanism
controlling cell cycle.

AGE OF CELLS:-



Cells taken from old cultures are often referred to as old cells, The age of a single cell cannot be greater than the time between two divisions. A cell, when first formed by cell division, although often called a young cell, contains materials both genetic and protoplasmic, which pre-existed in the parent cell. Age of the cell depend on its life spam. The life spam begins when the daughter cell is completely separated from the parental cell, this is called inception. It ends when this daughter cell itself divide later to give new daughter cells, this is known as termination. The period between inception and termination is called the generation time. This is actually the visible generation time that is observed. We can define young population of cells as the one, which is still actively growing and contains fewer cells that it is possible to obtain from that culture under tha same conditions, but old population is defined as that one which has reached the maximum number of cells under similar conditions. There are three types of following generation times :-



1. The visible generation time which is the period between inception and termination. It depends on division of cell wall.
2. Nuclear generation time depends on division of the nucleus. It starts from the moment the nucleus divides to the complete ability to divide again in the new daughter cells.

Generation time is given the symbol t.

SYNCHRONOUS AND SYNCHRONIZED GROWTH:-

Synchronous growth cultures are produced without metabolic shock. But synchronized culture are two ones in which we produce step-wise growth, the synchrony is induced by physiological shock. The principal means of doing synchronous growth are as follows :

1. Separation by physical means of cells in the population that are all at the same stage of the cellular life   cycle. Ex. by filteration, centrifugation etc.

2. Attachment of growing cells to a membrane, from which one product of cell division is shed. i.e., age selection. 

BALANCED AND UNBALANCED GROWTH:-

Exponential growth, whether in batch or continuous cultures, is the balanced growth. That is all cellular constituents are manufactured at constant rates relative to each other. If nutrient levels or other environmental conditions change, unbalanced growth results because the rates of synthesis of cell components vary relative to one another until a new balanced stage is reached.

Unbalanced growth occurs when a bacterial population is shifted down from a rich medium to a poor one. The organism may previously have been able to obtain many cell components directly from the medium. When shifted to a nutritionally inadequate medium, they need time to make the enzyme required for the biosynthesis of unavailable nutrients. Consequently cell division and DNA replication continue after the shift-down, but net protein and RNA synthesis slow.

Tissue Culture Techniques To Increase Genetic Variability

The haploid plantlets (n chromosomes) are treated with colchicine to produce fertilie homozygous lines, called double haploid lines. The haplodiplodisation technique could give immediately new elite genotypes, hybrid parents after in vitro propagation, as asparagus supermales (MM) or useful genetic material to establish gene mapping.

PROTOPLAST CULTURE & MICROPROPAGATION :



Protoplasts are the smallest unit able to regenerate a whole plant. Therefore protoplats cultures can serve to enlarge genetic variability by introducing somaclonal variations. However, the main interest of protoplasts, is their capacity to fuse and to produce hybrids or cybrids. Naked protoplasts can accept without rejection external elements: nuclei, cytoplasmic organelles, liposomes, containing genetic information.

The hybridization programme is hampered in some cases because of sexual incompatibility, Synthetic production of hybrids has, however becomes possible through the novel technique of protoplast culture and their fusion. The isolation culture, and fusion of protoplast are one of the most fascinating fields of research, through still in developing stage. The protoplast culture technique can be suitably used for microinjection and other genetic engineering experiments. The technique are important, specially because of their far-reaching effects on crop improvement by somatic hybridization and cell modification. The protoplast culture can be regenerated into an entire plant. The discovery of enzymes which could separate the cells for isolating protoplasts and exploring the possibilities of genetic engineering.

SOMATIC HYBRIDS & CYBRIDS :

The first protoplast fusion application was a cytoplasmic transfer from one genotype to another to induce male sterility (CMS) from mitochondrial origin. These male sterile hybrids are interesting to produce F1 hybrids (Brassica, Cichorium).

Since long protoplast fusion was proposed as a novel and important method for producing hybrid plants that can be obtained by sexual means. Mechanical or enzymatic removal of cell wall from a plant cell yields, a protoplast, which is bound by plasma membrane. An isolated protoplast, under suitable culture condition can regenerate entire plant. Plasmolyzing cell prior to enzymatic treatment helps to facilitate protoplast isolation. The isolated protoplast, having lost the protective cell wall, has to be protected against the osmotic shock by keeping them in the isotonic state. 13% mannitol is a good agent in this context. A variety of enzymes are available for protoplast isolation. Most common are cellulose, pectolyase and macerozyme. The viable protoplast tend to synthesize new cell wall within few hours to few days of culture divide and re-divide, produce clumps of cells which finally produce plantlets.

PRODUCTION OF VIRUS FREE PLANTS :

In 1952, Morel and Martin were successful in regenerating a virus-free dahlia plant by the excision of some meristematic domes from virus infected shoots. Semal and Lepoivre (1992) reported that a virus-free sweet potato was producing 40T/ha in china by comparison of the 20 T/ha produced before meristem culture.

Virus eradiction is dependent on several parameters. But to take advantage of the non uniform and imperfect virus distribution in the host plant body, the size of the excised meristem should be as small as possible. For Stone (1963), only tips between 0.2 and 0.5 mm most frequently produce virus free carnation plants. The explants smaller than 0.2 mm can't survive and those larger than 0.7 produce plants that still contain mottle virus.

There are various explanations have been given: absence of plasmodesm in the meristematic domes, competition between synthesis of nucleoproteins for cellular division and viral replication, inhibitor substances, absence of enzymes present only in the cells of the meristematic zones and suppression by excision of small meristematic domes. This last proposal could explain why some potato plant showing virus particles in the meristematic domes, could regenerate a virus free plant.

SHOOT TIP MICROGRAFTING :

When meristematic tip culture fails, it is possible to graft small meristematic domes on young seedlings growing in vitro. In this way, Navarro et al. (1975) eradicted all the virus diseases from spanish Citrus orchards. This technique was also very successful in eliminating virus diseases from peach tress (Mosella et al 1980).

MICROPROPAGATION TECHNIQUES:

During the micropropagation process, the genetic stability of new shoots dependent upon their origin. Axillary shoots issue from pre-existing buds and are normally true to type, indeed the meristematic cells are genetically very stable. Adventitious shoots, such as somatic embryos, are neoformed buds developed directly on some organs, or indirectly through a callus phase formed on this organ. So, if the mother plant presents a cell mosaic or chimaeric tissues, risks of genetic variation exists. It is similar in the case of an indirect regeneration, when the callus phase is too long.

PROPAGATION BY AXILLARY SHOOTING :

This technique has proved to be the most applicable and reliable method of in vitro propagation. Axillary shoot growth is stimulated by overcoming apical meristem dominance. Commercial tissue culture laboratories are now able to propagate a large number of herbaceous ornamental species and several woody plants in this way. However, the propagation of Pelargonium, Howea and a few other horicultural plants are always difficult to propogate by axillary branching.

PROPAGATION BY DIRECT OR INDIRECT ORGANOGENESIS :

Adventitious shoots could arise directly from the tissue of explants without callus formation. Several plants of tha family gesneriaceae (Saintpaulia, Streptocarpus) regenerate directly buds on leaf explants, likewise Lilium regenerate on scales. However, more often, like for Ficus lyrata, adventitious buds appear on callus. While coffee, cocoa trees and many conifers are produced by somatic embryogenesis developed on callus or cell suspensions.

IMPROVEMENT OF AXILLARY BRANCHING :

The cost of micropropagated plantlets is also an important limitation of the techniques. In New zealend, where they produce 2-3 million micropropagated radiata pine per annum, the relative cost of micropropagated planting stock had dropped from 13,8 times the cost of seedlings in 1988 to 6,9 by 1993 (Smith, 1997). To reduce manpower costs, several improvements have been proposed.. The more simple method was in vitro layering developed by Wang(1977) to clone PVX-free potato plants.The first plantlets placed on the medium in a horizontal position developed axillary shoots. They are harvested by cutting one centimeter above the medium surface, at 3 weeks intervals. A similar technique called "hedging system" by Aitken christie and Jones (1987) was later used to produce Pinus radiata. Since 1988, Duhem was producing vary large quantities of Eucalyptus plantlets in petri dishes without anti-gibberellin but in complete darkness. Transfers from one petri to another is made by a simple squashing.

SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS PROPAGATION :

For genetically stable species, somatic embryogenesis offers a very fast scaling-up system, especially when it's possible to produce embryos in bioreactors. Only a few model plants are successfully produce by such technology: carrot, celery. Other applications remian at the experimental stage: coffee, oil, palms, conifers, Euphorbia pulcherrima and several other horticultural species. 

Several bottlenecks limit the use of this interesting technology. one of main problems is genetic stability. Therefore, despite the clonal nature of nucellar embryos, different morphological anomalies can occur among mango somatic embryos, as it was also observed in Citrus plants derived from nucellar cultures (Litz et al 1993). Another difficulty is the loss of embryogenic capacity overtime, a phenomenon observed with different species. It is also important that somatic embryogenic lines of conifers are always originated from immature embryos.

SYNSEEDS :

Another very interesting possibility of the somatic embryogenesis technology has been developed during the past 15 years by Redenbaugh and his team (1991, 1993). They were able to encapsulate somatic embryos by hydrogel coatings (sodium alginate), producing single embryo artificial seeds. To date, some improvements offer the possibility to directly plant the artificial seeds in the greenhouse on special substrates (vermiculite, sans). This methodology will provide in future a good technique to reduce the cost of transplants. 

SOMACLONAL VARIATIONS :

The production of plantlets by callus regeneration, cell suspensions, protoplast cultures could present some deviations with regard to the mother plant. This is the way to increase the genetic variability. Associated with a selective pressure (Stress to toxins, pH, salinity, cold). it's used to obtain resistant lines.Indeed after regeneration, plants can express new potentialities rarely obtained another way. Stable and profitable variants are selected and introduced in breeding programmes. In 1976, a pelargonium cv Velvet Rose was created by this technique (Reisch, 1983).

Microbial Biopesticides, Biofungicide, Herbicides And Agricultural Antibiotics

Several biopesticides are in use today. Biopesticide products are based on natural agents such as microorganisms and fatty acid compounds. They are toxic to targeted pests (such as the European corn borer) and do not harm humans, animals, fish, birds or beneficial resistance to conventional pesticides. One of the most common microorganisms used in biologically based pesticides is the Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt, bacterium. Several of the proteins the Bt bacterium products are lethal to individual species of insects. Using Bt bacteria in pesticide formulations can eliminate target insects without relying on chemically based pesticides. It is also possible to use pheromones in pest control. Pheromones are naturally occuring substances that insects produce to attact mates. In pest control, pheromones are used to attract insects away from crop plants. For example, pheromone-based traps were used to control fruit fly infestations in california. The European corn borer, one of the most prevelant pests, costs the united states $1.2 billion crop damage each year.

Using biotechnology, it is possible to make crop plants tolerant of specific herbicides. When the herbicide is sprayed, it will kill the weeds but have no effect on the crop plants. This lets farmers reduce the number of times herbicides have to be applied and reduces the cost of producing crops and damage to the environment.

The contributions of biotechnology to the practice of medicine through the discovery and development of a number of potent antibacterial antibiotics is widely recognized. A major effort concerned with the discovery of new structures with antibacterial activities and the chemical modification of existing natural products is still ongoing. Although these antibiotics have found widespread use as growth promoters in the animal health area, only more recently were microbial products produced primarily for animal growth or agricultural purposes, for instance monensin as a coccidiostat for poultry and a growth permittant for ruminant animals. Bacteria, fungi and virus are the most commonly researched as potential microbial biocides. The development of low cost production methods and successful formulation of products such as microbial insecticides represents the commercial cutting edge of biotechnology.

The term insecticide usually bring thoughts of poisonous, non-selective, energy-consuming chemicals that are used to kill pest insects. However, not all insecticides fit this generally accepted stereotype. Those microorganisms which often suppress and naturally control populations or pests which injure man and causes extensive damage to food and fibre crops. Formulation of living viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa are called microbial insecticides.

Revolutionary techniques in biotechnology offer tantilizing new prospects for the future. Biological control has a long history, reaching into the undated past when the chinease used Pharoah's ants to control pests of stored gain. Others date the start of biological control to the domestication of the cat. The introduction of an exotic species to control a pest, the classical form of biological control, is claimed to date from 1762 when the indian Mynah was brought to mauritius to control the Red Locust. Subsequent attempts at introduction ocassionally had unwanted results, the introduction of cats to control rats on Ascension Island in 1815 resulted in the extermination of virtually all the sea birds on the island. Successful control of cotton cushion scale by Australian ladybirds in california in 1888 encouraged practitioners to continue to develop biological pest control by the introduction of exotic enemies.

Haplodiplodisation

Many species are able to produce haploids through different in vitro techniques. The oldest was anther culture of androgenesis. To date, the results vary considerably from one species to another. Solanae (datura, tobacco, red pepper, eggplant, petunia), cereals (wheat, barley, rice, triticale, maize) or crucifers (soybean, cabbage) are species easy to generate by anther culture. To the contrary, tomatoes, leguminous or compositae are recalcitrant. Ovule culture, or gynogenesis was a successful technique for Gerbera, beet, courgette. However, the most common teechnique is pollination with irradiated pollen, in order to induce in vivo parthenogenesis. The oospheres developed in embryos without fertilization are saved by embryo rescue.

5. Flood the YI plate with 4 ml of Benedict's reagent.

6. Incubate the plate at room temperature for one hour.
Following is a simple technique for isolating and precipitating high molecular nuclear DNA from plant cells. A mortar and pestle are used to break cells open mechanically and to disrupt the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is further degraded by the use of an extraction buffer containing a detergent that dissolves membranes. Their combined action produces a homogenate containing cell wall and plasma membrane fragments as well as intact nuclei, chloroplasts and mitochondria. Low-speed centrifugation is used to separate the nuclei from the smaller organelles.

OBJECT: To demonstrate how DNA is isolated from plant tissues.

MATERIALS: REAGENTS: Cauliflower homogenization solution, sodium citrate solution, sodium chloride
solution, Absolute ethanol.

           EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES: Centrifuge, Graduated cylinder, Funnel, Cheese-cloth, Centrifuge bottles, Centrifuge tubes, Chilled mortar and pestle, Glass rod, Razor blade, Fresh cauliflower head.

PROCEDURE:

1. Using a razor blade, remove 25g of the outer 2-3 mm of the cauliflower surface.

2. Place the tissue in a mortar and add 25 ml of sodium citrate solution. Grind the mixture until it becomes a smooth slurry.

3. Add 150 ml of cauliflower homogenization solution to the mortar. Continue grinding the mixture an additional 30 min.

4. Filter the homogenate through a funnel lined with two layers of cheese-cloth. Squeeze the cloth to recover any additional liquid. Transfer the liquid two centrifuge bottles.

5. Add 2 volumes of absolute ethanol to each bottle while stirring continuously. Balance the bottles and centrifuge them for 5 min at 200 x g at 4'c.

Booroola Gene

Gene mapping is essential as the foundation for genetic manipulation. Thus far, however, few specific genes of significance to animal agriculture have been identified, isolated or mapped. one example of a gene that is beginning to be understood, although it has not been specifically isolated, is he BOOROOLA GENE from Australian merino sheep. This gene boosts the incidence of twinning and triplets in sheep, giving an overall 20-40 percent increase in the number of lambs weaned. Introducing the booroola gene into other sheep and cattle could offer a fast, reliable way to increase the productivity of ewe and cow herds. Although the gene could be crossed into some breeds by sexual breeding, its introduction by molecular gene transfer would be faster and more important, it would allow the trait to be passed to a wider range of livestock. Mapping of the booroola gene is helping scientists determine more precisely how the gene operates and is also aiding in its cloning. Scientists may then attempt to transfer the gene to other valuable livestock species.

DNA Chip Technology

DNA chip technology, a marriage of the semi-conductor manufacturing industry and molecular genetics, will transform genetic analysis because it allows us to analyze tens of thousands of genes simultaneously on a single chip. The manufacturing process of microchips and DNA chips is similar, in principle, but instead of shining light through a series of masks to each circuits into silicon, automated DNA chip-makers use a series of masks to lay down an array of DNA fragments on a glass slide. DNA chip technology is being used for:

1. detect mutations in disease-causing genes.

2. monitor gene activity.

3. diagnose infectious diseases and identify the best antibiotic treatment.

4. identify genes important to crop productivity.

5. improve screening for microbes used in bioremediation.

DNA chip will be essential for converting the raw genetic data provided by the Human Genome Project into useful products.
