Abstract

Plant regeneration was obtained from cultured anthers and hypocotyl segments of caraway (Carum carvi L.). Microspore- and somatic tissue-derived embryos were compared by observation of the regeneration process under identical induction conditions. Fluorescent microscopy with DAPI staining showed initiation of cell divisions and formation of embryogenic callus and somatic embryos from anther sacs, with production of embryos of both microspore and somatic origin. Induction of somatic embryos from hypocotyl-derived callus was also demonstrated. Isozyme native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to identify haploids and doubled haploids, and to determine the frequency of spontaneous diploidization of regenerated plants of microspore origin. Donor plants (2n = 20) and their anther-derived derivative plants (n = 10, 2n = 20, 4n = 40) in callus stage or leafy rosette stage were compared. The esterase (EST) band patterns of regenerated plants differed from the heterozygous parental material, suggesting that the regenerated plants were microspore-derived haploid/doubled haploid plants. The similar profile of EST bands between the diploid anther-derived plants and a sample of the donor plants corresponded to a somatic regeneration pathway. Although the selected induction conditions revealed no preference for induction of microspore embryogenesis, the anther culture protocol established for caraway utilizing isozyme segregating EST loci markers is suitable for DH production.
