| Zusammenfassung: | To examine the possible relationship between ethylene and the capacity of embryogenic cell lines to produce mature somatic embryos of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.), two embryogenic cell lines which exhibit different maturation capacities were used to analyse ethylene biosynthesis and that of its immediate precursor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1- carboxylic acid (ACC). Several compounds known to alter ethylene metabolism were also evaluated for their effect on the number of mature somatic embryos produced. The results showed that in the high capacity cell line, ethylene production and endogenous ACC pools were less than in the low capacity cell line. It was also demonstrated that limiting ethylene biosynthesis by adding inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis or its physiological action to the maturation medium promoted somatic embryo production for the low capacity cell line. Conversely, lowering ethylene biosynthesis reduced the number of somatic embryos in the high capacity cell line. These results were further substantiated by the finding that the effects of amino-oxyacetic acid (AOA), an inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis, were partially reversed by adding ethylene to both embryogenic cell lines. It is concluded that ethylene is implicated in somatic embryogenesis of black spruce and that the low capacity cell line had excess, i.e. supraoptimal, ethylene production, whereas the high capacity cell line had nearly optimal ethylene production. The relationship between ethylene and other phytohormones, and the possible effects of the interaction between ethylene and polyamines on the maturation of the somatic embryos are discussed |
