Prematuration treatment free of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid improves the maturation of sugarcane somatic embryos by affecting the hormonal balance and the accumulation of reserves
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Several factors influence the culture conditions and somatic embryogenesis responses, such as the role of plant growth regulators (PGRs) during the establishment of in vitro cultures. For instance, auxin is required for callus induction and the acquisition of embryogenic capacity in different species, but the removal of auxin is needed for the further differentiation of somatic embryos. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the effects of residual 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) on the maturation of sugarcane somatic embryos. First, embryogenic calli were separated into two groups: the PGR-free group was cultured without 2,4-D and b) the control group was maintained on proliferation culture medium, which contains 2,4-D. After 21 days of culture in the dark, both groups were transferred to maturation culture medium under light. Our results showed that calli grown in PGR-free culture medium yielded more somatic embryos and exhibited a higher accumulation of protein and starch reserves. A proteomic analysis showed a decrease in the abundance of abscisic acid (ABA)-induced proteins in the control group. The levels of residual 2,4-D and endogenous 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), an ethylene precursor, were higher in the control group than in the PGR-free group. Conversely, the level of ABA was higher in the PGR-free group than in the control group. A disruption in the ABA and ethylene levels might be responsible for the observed delay in the accumulation of storage reserves in the embryogenic calli of the control group, which might have affected the development of somatic embryos. Our results also showed that the efficient development of sugarcane somatic embryos appears to be preceded by an efficient accumulation of storage reserves in calli, which is related to hormone homeostasis.
