Corresponing uthor: * thiruv3@gmil.om ABSTRACT An effiient protool for plntlet regenertion from the ell suspension ultures of spine gour (Momori ioi Rox. ex Will.) through somti emryogenesis is reporte. Petiole-erive emryogeni lli were ulture on Murshige n Skoog meium ugmente with 4.5 M 2,4-ihlorophenoxyeti i (2,4-D) n 1% oonut milk (CM). The mximum frequeny of somti emryos (36.3%) ws oserve on MS meium supplemente with 2.2 M 2,4-D for three weeks of ulture. Ontogeni stuies of somti emryos revele tht the ells estine to eome somti emryos ivie into spheril proemryos n then progresse to gloulr, hert n further ifferentite properly into torpeo n otyleonry stges within 5 weeks. Emryo evelopment ws synhronous n strongly influene y the 2,4-D onentrtion. The MS liqui meium ugmente with 2.2 M 2,4-D n.5 M L-glutmine ws effetive to hieve high frequeny of somti emryo inution (44.5%). The otyleonry-stge somti emryos were trnsferre to MS liqui meium with no plnt growth regultors to hieve omplete mturtion within 7 ys. Lk of 2,4-D in suspensions inrese somti emryo mturtion with erese normlities. Surose ws foun to e the est ron soure for llus inution, emryo mturtion n emryo germintion.

Aout 11% of somti emryos germinte into morphologilly norml fertile plnts within 2 weeks. Regenerte plntlets were suessfully hrene, with survivl rte of pproximtely 6%, n estlishe in the fiel. This regenertion protool ssure suessful emryo inution, mturtion n plntlet onversion.

It originte from the Ino-Mlyn region (Rshi 1976; Singh 199) n hs een highly ultivte in Asi espeilly in Chin, Tiwn, Ini, Bnglesh, Pkistn n Sri Lnk. The fruit is rih soure of protein, rohyrtes n vitmin C (Rshi 1976; Bhuiy et l. 1977). In ition to its nutritious vlue, the plnt exhiits wie rnge of nti-ner properties (Li et l. 1999), ue to the presene of terpenes n sterois in roots (Luo et l. 1998) n nti-miroil tivity s it ontins lklois n glyosies (Bhosle n Prtkr 25). Besies, it is lso use in the tretment of leeing piles, urinry omplints, snkeite, sorpion stings n even s n ntisepti (Chopr et l. 1986). Improvement of this rop hs not een equtely ttempte, euse of its ioeious nture n its vegettive moe of propgtion. At present, its propgtion epens entirely on unergroun tuerous roots, whih oupy the ultivle ln for long perio, until the next plnting seson. Mintenne of tuer qulity uner fiel onitions n its storge re lso iffiult. Improvement through lssil reeing hs lso een met with limite suess ue to the limite geneti vriility in germplsm (Ni et l. 22). The estlishment of n effiient regenertion system through somti emryos will llow for rop improvement through progrmme tht inlues somti hyriiztion, in vitro seletion n geneti trnsformtion. Only few results on M. hrnti in vitro stuies suh s iret shoot regenertion of ifferent explnts hve een reporte (Islm et l. 1994; Wng et l. 21; Sultn n Mih 23). In M. ioi results were reporte only on iret orgnogenesis (Thiruvengm n Jyln 21; Ni et l. 22; Bhosle n Prtkr 25; Thiruvengm et l. 26). Although we hve reently reporte the evelopment of somti emryos in itter melon (Thiruvengm et l. 26), to our knowlege, no report on spine gour regenertion vi somti emryogenesis from petiole hs yet een esrie. This work esrie somti emryogenesis, ontogeny n histology of emryo evelopment n the effet of growth regultors n rohyrtes on high frequeny inution of somti emryogenesis in this nutritionlly n meiinlly importnt plnt.

Suspension ulture For initition of ell suspension ultures, two-week-ol greenyellow, frile lli (>5 mg fresh weight eh) were septilly trnsferre to 125 ml Erlenmeyer flsks (Pyrex, USA) ontining 25 ml of liqui MS meium supplemente with vrious onentrtions (.- 4.5 M) of 2,4-D n gitte on gyrtory shker (95-11 rpm) in stnr growth room onitions. Suspensions were suulture every 7-1 ys n supplemente y fresh MS meium with 2,4-D. At the en of the seon suulture, the ells were filtere through 15 M stinless steel sieves to seprte possile emryogeni ells n smll lumps of ells.

Eqully, in the present stuy, petiole explnts were foun to proue somti emryos in M. ioi. Auxins were solutely neessry for somti emryo inution ut were often omitte in the perio of mturtion n germintion (Choi et l. 1991; Mohme et l. 24; Thiruvengm et l. 26). The pretretment of 2,4-D for somti emryo inution in melon n sqush were oserve y Kintzios et l. (22). Similrly, the present investigtion lso emonstrte the effet of 2,4-D s vitl role for inuing somti emryogenesis. The inution of frile lli with emryogeni ompetene is prerequisite in somti emryogenesis for the regenertion of omplete plntlets. In our experiments, green-yellow frile lli were inue on fortifie MS meium ontining 4.5 M 2,4-D with CM (1%) for two weeks of ulture. Similr results y Binzel et l. (1996) note tht MS meium ontining 9 M 2,4-D with 1% CM improve the potentil of emryogenei llus in Cpsium nnum. The ition of BA or Kn to the ulture meium h either negtive or no effet on somti emryogenesis inution s emonstrte y Jelsk (1986) n Noel et l. (1992) in Cuurito pepo. In ontrst, 2,4-D with BAP or Kn ws responsile for inuing somti emryos in Cuumis melo (Orite n Oosw 1986), Cuumis stivus (Bergervoet et l. 1989) n Cuurito pepo (Kintzios et l. 22). An ttempt hs een me to evelop the ontogeni stges of somti emryo ifferentition from liqui ultures of uurits. Jelsk (198) n Jelsk et l.

Emryo mturtion egins fter the ompletion of histoifferentition in somti emryos. In C. stivus, hormone-free MS sl meium ws foun to e optiml for mturtion n further evelopment (Mlepszy n Nolsk-Orzyk 1983; Rjsekrn et l. 1983; Orezyk n Mlepszy 1985; Wyszogrozk n Shhin 1985). Similr oservtions were me in our stuy, where the omplete removl of 2,4-D from the ulture meium improve emryo mturtion. Our results ontrst to the reports of Tei et l. (1991) in whih the mturtion of somti emryos from otyleon, hypootyls, stem n petiole explnts of C. melo ourre on 1/2 MS meium fortifie with GA 4 (.2 mg/l). Lter the mture emryos were trnsferre to 1/1 MS meium ontining ABA.5 M for suessful germintion. This result ws oherent with tht of Kim n Soh (1996) in Allium sp., Nkgw et l. (21) in Cuumis melo, n Mohme et l. (24) in Mrotylom uniflorum for somti emryo germintion inue y ABA. Our histologil report lerly onfirme the formtion of ipolr strutures in spine gour. Gloulr emryos normlly onsist of smll ells with ense ytoplsm n lrge nulei n hve een oserve in regl gernium (Wilson et l. 1994). The results of this report re onfirme y the pre-sent stuy. The regenerte somti emryos evelope s new iniviuls tht onsiste in the gloulr stge of the typil smll ells with ense ytoplsm n evelope to ler ipolr strutures (Fig. 1L). In poppy (Kim et l. 23), the optimum onitions for mintenne of ell suspension ultures were the shking spee n pke ell volume (inoulums per 25 ml meium). Similr results were oserve in the present stuy where gittion of the ultures t 1 rpm ws foun to e optiml. The omponents of mei n vrious onentrtions of rohyrtes n mino is n exlusively ply vitl role in etermining the emryogeni ompetene of ell suspension n mturtion of somti emryo. This investigtion on meium omposition revele tht MS mei were highly signifint for the inution of somti emryogenesis, ue to high levels of nitrogen in the form of mmonium nitrte, whih is responsile for oth emryo initition n mturtion. Similr results were reporte in the leves of sqush n melon (Kintzios et l. 22), uumer (Clleut et l. 1987; Clusters n Bergervoet 199). The ourrene of vrious rohyrtes hs een foun to ffet the initition of somti emryos in spine gour, with 3% surose resulting in highest frequeny, followe y gluose n frutose with low frequeny of emryo initition. Mltose ws ompletely ineffetive for somti emryogenesis in spine gour. Similr results were lso otine in penut n soyen (Epen n George 1993; Smoylov et l. 1998). Guis et l. (1997) reporte tht gluose ws the most importnt sugr for somti emryogenesis in melon. However, our experiments onfirme surose plys n importnt role s n energy soure, n when e to the meium might e essentil for somti emryogenesis. Our results support similr oservtions me in uumer (Chee n Trioli 1988), melon (Nkgw et l. 21) n itter melon (Thiruvengm et l. 26). Glutmine ppers to e suitle nitrogen soure to support tive protein synthesis ssoite with somti emryo inution n mturtion. In our stuy, the ition of glutmine t.5 M resulte in the gret improvement (44.5%) of emryogeni frequeny n evelopment. The similr results were emonstrte y Skokut et l.
