title: [The somatic embryogenesis and establishment of transformation experiment system in Larix principis-Rupprechtii].
abstract: Larix principis-Rupprechtii is one of the superior afforestation forest trees growing in north China. Embryogenic cultures were initiated from immature zygotic embryos of Larix principis-Rupprechtii on S culture medium containing 2, 4-D 0-2.2 mg/L, KT and BA each at 0-0. 8 mg/L. Embryogenic calli were subcultured and multiplicated on S + B culture medium containing dropping off each hormone concentration. We set up 33 steady-going embryogenic cell lines; We studied on the growth stage and genotype differences of every embryogenic cell lines; and Finded more than 10 high-frequency somatic embryogenesis cell lines such as 2K, 2T, 2I, 2J, 3C etc.. The number of 2T somatic embryos reaches 314/per gram of embryogenic tissue and the number of 3C somatic embryos is 185/per gram of embryogenic tissue. The re-induction method of Larix principis-Rupprechtii from somatic embryos was used to produce renewable embryogenic cultures and steady-going embryogenic cell lines effectively. Mature somatic embryos can germinate and develop further into plantlets when they are isolated and cultured on a hormone-free WPM culture medium. The regeneration plantlets were obtained. Furthermore, the transformation with a truncated gene of Bacillus thuringensis (B. t) were carried out, the PCR showed positive results, because of this, embryogenic cell line of Larix principis-Rupprechtii can be used for transformation experiments to support further breeding in forestry.
