Abstract:

To study the effect of histone acetylation on wheat regeneration, mature embryos of CB037, Fielder and Chinese Spring (CS) were used as explants, different concentrations of 5-azacytidine (5-azaC) were added into the culture medium. The embryonic callus induction rate, callus differentiation rate and green shoot induction rate were analyzed. The results showed that with the addition of 50 μmol/L 5-azaC, the green shoot induction rate of CB037 was 54.72% which reduced significantly compared with the control group of 79.62%. With the addition of 10 μmol/L and 50 μmol/L 5-azaC, the embryonic callus induction rates of Fielder were 39.13% and 35.71% respectively, and the green shoot induction rates were 26.09% and 25.14% respectively, which decreased significantly compared with those of the control. While CS was treated with 50 μmol/L, the embryonic callus induction rate was 23.89% and reached significant difference compared with the control group of 30.95%. Adding 5-azaC could reduce the regeneration frequency of wheat mature embryo; with the increase of additive concentration, the reduction effect becomes more obvious and the effects of 5-azaC on the regeneration frequency are different among genotypes.
