Manipulation of division symmetry and developmental fate in cultures of potato microspores
1999
Rihova, L. | Tupy, J.
The effect of media composition on microspore culture was investigated in one tetraploid and two diploid potatoes. The viability of microspores isolated from 4.5 to 5 mm buds was in the range of 33 to 52%. In media for anther culture, microspores showed no further development and lost viability within 2 days. In M1 medium containing mineral components, sucrose, uridine, cytidine, myo-inositol, glutamine and lactalbumin hydrolysate, 18 to 37% of microspores underwent mitosis within 14 days. Up to 95% of the divisions were symmetric and produced equal nuclei. Some symmetrically divided microspores eventually produced structures with 3 to 10 nuclei. The proportion of the total microspore population producing multinuclear structures reached 9% in diploid clones responsive to anther culture and 1 to 2% in recalcitrant cv. Borka. Symmetric mitoses in M1 medium were induced in the presence of glutamine and lactalbumin hydrolysate. Nucleosides and myo-inositol had no effect on microspore division. In the absence of all organic components except sucrose, most mitoses were asymmetric, formation of multinuclear structures was reduced and most pollen accumulated starch indicative of gametophytic fate. In complete M1 medium, starch accumulation was suppressed. Suppression also occurred in asymmetrically divided microspores, indicating a direct inhibition of pollen development independent of the mode of microspore division. This inhibitory effect of M1 medium might present a stress which triggers the induction of symmetric microspore division and subsequent formation of multinuclear structures.
