Endogenous indoleamine profiles in various ex vitro and in vitro tissues of commercially important Coffea canephora were analyzed by using a high performance liquid chromatography and further confirmed with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. High content of serotonin (SER) (98.54 ± 5 µg/g) and melatonin (MEL) (115.25 ± 6 µg/g) were found in freshly harvested seeds of C. canephora followed by zygotic embryo (65.25 ± 4 and 96.54 ± 5 µg/g freshweight) and endosperm(34.08 ± 2 and 51.08 ± 4 µg/g fresh weight) of ripened fruits. Similarly endogenous pools of SER and MEL were moderate in in vitro tissues of C. canephora, i.e. callus (25.85 ± 2 and 75.74 ± 4), somatic embryos (31.88 ± 2 and 19.30 ±2 µg/g fresh weight) and in vitro regenerated plant stalk (15.78 ± 1 and 38.25 ± 3 µg/g fresh weight), respectively. In view of significant levels of both SER and MEL in various tissues and beans of Coffea, further investigations on their physiological role needs to be investigated.
The influence of polyamines, polyamine inhibitors and ethylene inhibitors were tested in Coffea canephora for in vitro morphogenetic response and caffeine biosynthesis. Coffea canephora produced nonembryogenic and embryogenic calli. Somatic embryos were produced only from the embryogenic callus. Endogenous polyamine pools were estimated in these tissues. Somatic embryos were subjected to secondary embryogenesis under the influence of putrescine, silver nitrate and specific inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis. Estimation of endogenous total polyamines revealed that embryogenic callus contained 11-fold more spermine and 3.3-fold higher spermidine when compared to non-embryogenic callus. Incorporation of polyamines resulted in 58% explant response for embryogenesis when compared to control with 42% response. Incorporation of silver nitrate resulted in 65% response for embryogenesis. Incorporation of polyamine biosynthetic pathway inhibitors DFMO and DFMA resulted in 83% reduction in embryogenic response with concomitant increase in caffeine levels by two-fold as compared to control. These results have clearly demonstrated that polyamines play a crucial role in embryogenesis and caffeine biosynthesis.
Polyamines are essential compounds for growth and development in plants. An attempt has been made to find out the endogenous polyamine profiles in various parts and during the ontogeny of fruit formation of two commercially important Coffea species viz., arabica and canephora. Putrescine (Put), spermine (Spm) and spermidine (Spd) are the predominant polyamines during the ontogeny of fruit and their level increased with the advancement of fruit development. However, in the initial stages of flower and fruit development Spm levels were found to be decreased. Elevated levels of major polyamines Put, Spd, and Spm were observed in zygotic embryos than in somatic embryos. Along with this cadavarine (Cad) and other biogenic amines viz., tyramine (Tyr) and tryptamine (Try) were also found during the ontogeny of fruit in C. canephora. In this study the enodogenous polyamine profiles in coffee tissues and beans have been addressed.
Botryococcus braunii (N-836) produced 60 - 73 % hydrocarbons on dry weight basis, of which C34 botryococcene was found to be the major hydrocarbon, constituting about 50 - 76 % of total content throughout the experimental studies. Major fatty acids present in this organism were C18:1 and C16:0. Saturated hydrocarbons like docosane, hexacosane and heptacosane were also found to be produced by the organism. Methyl branched fatty ac ids, were identified as 16-methyl heptadecanoic and 5, 9, 13 - trimethyl tetradecanoic acids by GC-MS. Maximum hydrocarbon accumulation was observed during third week of its growth.
Direct shoot bud induction and plant regeneration was achieved in Capsicum frutescens var. KTOC. Aseptically grown seedling explants devoid of roots, apical meristem and cotyledons were inoculated in an inverted position in medium comprising of Murashige and Skoog (Physiol Plant 15:472–497, 1962) basal medium supplemented with 2-(N-morpholine) ethanesulphonic acid buffer along with 2.28 µM indole-3-acetic acid, 10 µM silver nitrate and either of 13.31– 89.77 µM benzyl adenine (BA), 9.29–23.23 µM kinetin, 0.91–9.12 µM zeatin, 2.46–9.84 µM 2-isopentenyl adenine. Profuse shoot bud induction was observed only in explants grown on a media supplemented with BA (26.63 µM) as a cytokinin source and 19.4 ± 4.2 shoot buds per explant was obtained in inverted mode under continuous light. Incorporation of polyamine inhibitors in the culture medium completely inhibited shoothoot bud induction. Incorporation of exogenous polyamines improved the induction of shoot buds under 24 h photoperiod. These buds were elongated in MS medium containing 2.8 µM gibberellic acid. Transfer of these shoots to hormone-free MS medium resulted in rooting and rooted plants were transferred to fields. This protocol can be efficiently used for mass propagation and presumably also for regeneration of genetically transformed C. frutescens.
