| Resumo: | [EN] Induction of gynogenesis through ovule culture is a valuable tool to produce haploid and doubled haploid plants in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). However, there is still large room for refining the method. In this study we investigated the gynogenic response of cultured ovules of three sugar beet genotypes, the effect of the application to inflorescences of different pretreatments with mannitol at 4oC and with 5-azacytidine and 2,4-D, and the effect of the use of different basal culture media and sucrose concentrations. The response was evaluated in terms of percentages of induction of gynogenesis, embryogenesis and callogenesis, as well as of regenerated plants. We showed that a pretreatment with 0.5 M mannitol at 4 degrees C for 4 days, and with 50 mu M 5-AzaC for 1 h, notably improved the percentage of embryogenesis and plant regeneration. Besides, the use of MS basal medium and 60 g/L sucrose was also found beneficial. This study provides new ways to improve the efficiency of haploid induction and plant regeneration through ovule culture in sugar beet, and is potentially applicable to ovule culture in other crops. Key message This study provides new ways to improve the efficiency of haploid induction and plant regeneration through ovule culture in sugar beet. |
