摘要

An efficient method of plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis was developed for five peanut cultivars. Somatic embryogenesis was induced from embryonic leaflets on MSB5 medium (Murashige and Skoog salts plus B-5 vitamins) supplemented with different concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). After 3 weeks, the frequency of somatic embryo formation was highest with 5 mg L-1 2,4-D for cultivar Huayu 23 (frequency 76.1%), 5 or 10 mg L-1 2,4-D for cultivar Huayu 20 (similar to 79.5%), or 10 mg L-1 42,4-D for cultivars Huayu 22, Huayu 25, and Luhua 11 (92.9, 91.3, and 92.3%, respectively). When explants with somatic embryos were subcultured on a germination medium, conversion of somatic embryos into plantlets was highest with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP; 74.6-93.4% conversion) and next highest with thidiazuron (35.6-78.2%, depending on concentration) but was substantially lower with gibberellic acid (0-24.6%, depending on concentration), abscisic acid (0-3.9%, depending on concentration), or the control (without growth regulators; 3.2-23.8%). When 33 regenerated Huayu 23 plantlets were cleft grafted onto germinated seedlings and transplanted into the field, 31 grew to maturity and produced viable seeds.
