TAILIEUCHUNG - Induction of haploid plants in citrus through gamma-irradiated pollen and ascertainment of ovule age for maximum recovery of haploid plantlets
The present investigation was carried out for the induction of haploid plants in Citrus grandis through in situ parthenogenesis by pollination with gamma-irradiated pollen of C. limetta and C. sinensis, treated with 50, 100, 200, 300, and 400 Gy gamma ray doses followed by in vitro ovule culture. | Turkish Journal of Biology Turk J Biol (2017) 41: 469-483 © TÜBİTAK doi: Research Article Induction of haploid plants in citrus through gamma-irradiated pollen and ascertainment of ovule age for maximum recovery of haploid plantlets 1, 1 2 2 3 Manoj KUNDU *, Anil DUBEY , Manish SRIVASTAV , Surendra MALIK Department of Horticulture (Fruit and Fruit Technology), Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur, Bihar, India 2 Division of Fruits and Horticultural Technology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India 3 Tissue Culture and Cryopreservation Unit, National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi, India Received: Accepted/Published Online: Final Version: Abstract: The present investigation was carried out for the induction of haploid plants in Citrus grandis through in situ parthenogenesis by pollination with gamma-irradiated pollen of C. limetta and C. sinensis, treated with 50, 100, 200, 300, and 400 Gy gamma ray doses followed by in vitro ovule culture. Ovule culture at 50 days after pollination (DAP) was found optimum for the maximum recovery of in vitro-raised plantlets as compared to 35 and 20 DAP. At 50 DAP, irrespective of the pollen parent, plantlet regeneration capacity decreased at 300 and 400 Gy irradiation treatment ( and , respectively) with maximum recovery in the nonirradiated control (). Chromosome counting in actively growing root tips of all the in vitro-raised ovule cultured plantlets revealed that two haploid plants with chromosome number of nine were induced in C. grandis from the ovule culture that was cultured at 50 DAP following pollination with irradiated pollen of C. sinensis at 400 Gy and C. limetta pollen at 300 Gy. However, irradiation doses below 300 Gy were incapable of inducing any haploids in either cross combination. Similarly, all the plantlets regenerated from in vitro embryo culture
