Abstract
Callus induction and embryogenesis were studied in three different genotypes of Acanthopanax senticosus, to develop a protocol for somatic embryogenesis and acclimatization. Young leaf, stem, node, petiole, peduncle, flower and root explants were collected from 3-year old trees of A. senticosus accessions (Korea, Russia and Japan). Callus was obtained from all cultured explants but showed the higher rate of callus formation in flower cultured. For the three A. senticosus accessions, callus was well formd on MS media containing 2mg/ l of 2,4-D and 2mg/ l of TDZ, 4mg/ l of 2,4-D and 1mg/ l of TDZ than other treatments. For three A. senticosus accessions, when callus transferred to MS medium with 2,4-D, embryogenic cell formed. For A. senticosus accessions Korea, embryogenic cells were obtained on callus induced from petiole, stem, node and root explants, and induction rate was lower than 3%. 200mg of embryogenic callus was transferred to MS free liquid medium and somatic embryos of heart stage were obtained after 45days of culture. When somatic embryo of germination stage were transferred to solid medium, most of the embryos were regenerated into plantlets on 1/4 MS medium. Normal plants with both shoots and roots were transferred to greenhouse soil and were successfully acclimatized.
가시오갈피의 꽃봉오리 엽병, 줄기, 줄기마디, 뿌리, 꽃대, 잎 등 조직으로 부터 캘러스가 유기 되었으며 캘러스 유기재료로는 꽃봉오리, 엽병, 줄기, 줄기 마디, 뿌리 등이 적합하였다. 캘러스 유기율은 한국산 가시오갈피가 일본산과 러시아산보나 높게 나타났다. 캘러스유기에는 2.4-D와 TDZ조합처리가 효과적이었으며 한국가시오갈피의 엽병, 줄기, 액아, 뿌리절편으로부터 형성된 캘러스에서 배발생 캘러스가 형성되었으며 줄기에서 형성된 캘러스로부터 한국, 일본, 러시아산 가시오갈피 모두에서 배발생캘러스가 형성되었다. 엽병에서 형성된 캘러스로부터 배발생캘러스의 유기율이 가장 높았으며 2.4-D 1mg/l 처리가 가장 효과적이었다. 액체배지에서의 체세포배의 생장에는 생장조절물질을 첨가하지 않은 MS기본배지가 적합하였다. 기내에서 잎과 뿌리 분화가 이루어지고 건실하게 자란 식물체를 온실에 옮겨 순화하였을 경우 99.1%의 생존율을 보였다.
