Abstract
Morphogenetic responses were investigated by culturing embryo and leaf explants of Korean wild type tea plant, Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze. Induction of direct somatic embryogenesis as well as adventitious and/or axillary shoots was obtained from mature zygotic embryo cultures on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium having 5 to $20\mu\textrm{M}$cytokinin a lone. Morphogenetic response was decreased dramatically by the addition of auxins tested. One hundred percent of induced and isolated shoots formed roots after four weeks of culture on half-strength MS or quarter-strength Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) media supplemented with $10\mu\textrm{M}$indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Immature zygotic embryos were shown to be a suitable explant for embryogenic callus formation in the presence of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2, 4-D) in basal medium. Mature zygotic embryo originated leaves were used to test their ability for mophogenesis by incorporating plant growth regulators such as IBA, naphthyl-1-acetic acid (NAA), and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Apparently, the morphogenetic responses of the cultured explant sources on the types and/or levels of plant growth regulators tested were observed visually.
한국 야생차나무의 잎절편과 배배양에서 생장조절물질의 첨가에 따른 형태형성 과정의 변이를 조사하였다. 그 결과 접합자배는 싸이토키닌을 5-20$\mu\textrm{M}$을 첨가한 MS 배지에서 직접적인 체세포 배와 부정아 및 액아 발생률이 높았으며 옥신의 함량이 높아질수록 형태형성율이 급격히 저하되었다. 1/2 MS 및 1/4 SH배지에 $10\mu\textrm{M}$ IBA가 첨가된 배지에서 모든 줄기가 발근 되었다. MS배지에 2,4-D를 첨가한 배지에서 미성숙 접합자 배를 배양한 결과 체세포배성 캘러스가 유발되었다. 성숙된 접합자 배를 발아시킨 후 어린잎을 채취하여 고농도의 옥신 (IBA와 NAA) 또는 싸이토키닌 (BAP)이 함유된 MS배지에 배양한 결과 체세포배 형성 캘러스가 발생되었으며 또한 직접적인 체세포배가 발생하였다. 그러나 뿌리와 줄기 형성에는 각각 요구하는 옥신의 농도와 종류가 각각 달랐다.
