The Global ETD Search service is a free service for researchers
to find electronic theses and dissertations. This service is
provided by the
Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations.
Our metadata is collected from universities around the world. If you manage a university/consortium/country archive and want to be added, details can be found on the NDLTD website.

Organogenesis in Vitro under Altered Auxin Signaling ConditionsSmirnova, Tatiana 27 November 2013 (has links)
The ratio of auxin to cytokinin determines de novo organogenesis in plants. Relatively little is known about the effect of genetically altered auxin signaling on in vitro organogenesis. Here, callusogenesis, shoot, and root formation were studied in loss- (LOF) and gain-of-function (GOF) alleles in two phylogenetically related Auxin Response Factors (ARFs), MONOPTEROS (MP/ARF5) and NON-PHOTOTROPHIC HYPOCOTYL 4 (NPH4/ARF7). Reduced MP activity greatly diminished shoot regeneration, and partially diminished callusogenesis and root formation. LOF in NPH4 strongly decreased callusogenesis, and mildly decreased shoot and root regeneration in particular categories of explants. By contrast, organogenesis responses were strongly increased in aerial explants carrying the GOF transgene dMP. Thus, both MP and NPH4 seem to act as positive regulators of certain organogenesis processes and the GOF dMP transgene may be of interest for stimulating organogenesis in plant species with poor regeneration properties. Also, organogenesis in vitro may reveal unknown developmental ARF functions.
