Research Abstract |
In this study, the novel culture procedure using endosperm has been developed in Lonicera caerulea. The cultured endosperm could regenerate into plantlets. The regenerated plants showed same ploidy level with endosperm. This means that endosperm culture is novel procedure for producing polyploid plants. To analyze regeneration ability from endosperm, genome imprinting has been focused. In this study, one of imprint genes, fertilization independent endosperm (FIE) was sequenced in the endosperm of L. caerulea. The regeneration machinery might be clarified by analyzing expression patterns of imprint genes during endosperm culture.
