[Method] The leaf and shoot apex of Xushu 22 were separately cultured on MSB medium and MSD medium. The induced embryogenic calluses were then cultured on MS medium. The regeneration frequency of leaf and shoot apex explants were respectively calculated. [Result] The average frequency of leaf explants developing somatic callus was 95.69% compared to 30.56% in case of shoot apex explants. There were different types of morphogenic structures in the process of somatic embryo development. Leaf explants gave a high regeneration frequency to 60.61%, while the regeneration frequency of shoot apices was 22%. In addition, no morphological variations were observed in the regeneration plants. [Conclusion] Leaf explant was better than shoot apices in plant regeneration of Xushu22 via somatic embryogenesis.展开更多

[Method] The full-length cDNA of SGD was cloned from R. verticillata with RACE technique. Then the expression levels in different tissues were analyzed with quantitative RT-PCR and the bioinformatic characteristics were also predicted. [Result] The full-length cDNA of RvSGD was 1 856 bp, containing a 1 608 bp CDS that encoded 536 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 61.0 kDa and an isoelectric point of 6.16. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that RvSGD shared high similarity with SGDs from Cantharanthus roseus and Rauvolfia serpentina at the amino acids; three conserved catalytic sites His-161, Glu-207 and Glu-419 were also presented in RvSGD. Quantitative RT-PCR showed that expression level of RvSGD was the highest in barks, followed by old leaves, roots, tender leaves and tender stems. [Conclusion] The present study helps to understand more about the functions of the SGD gene at the level of molecular genetics, and provides new targets for molecular regulation of TIAs biosynthesis.展开更多
