Effect of zinc and copper ions on the morphogenesis of Robinia pseudoacacia L. in vitro culture

Keywords: Robinia pseudoacacia L., zinc, copper, morphometric parameters, in vitro

Abstract

Background. Modification of the composition and concentration of microelements in the nutrient medium makes it possible to qualitatively assess the effect of metal ions on the morphogenic potential of plants in vitro.

Purpose. To study the effect of various zinc and copper concentrations in the culture medium on the morphogenic activity of Robinia pseudoacacia seedlings and regenerated plants to optimize the technology of microclonal propagation.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted at the Biotechnology Laboratory of the Federal Scientific Center of Agroecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences using R. pseudoacacia seed material and microshoots. The Murashige and Skoog protocol without the addition of phytohormones was used as the main nutrient medium. The following ranges of zinc and copper salt concentrations were used in the experiment: ZnSO4×7H2O (from 1.875 to 30 mg/l) and CuSO4×5H2O (from 3.75 to 60 mg/l). The shoot length, number of internodes and leaves, length of formed roots, and color of the leaf blade were estimated. Statistical data processing was performed using the Statistica 12 software package (StatSoft, USA).

Results. The morphogenic role of zinc and copper ions in the culture medium during microclonal propagation of Robinia pseudoacacia was determined. For R. pseudoacacia seedlings and microshoots, a stimulating effect was exerted by a zinc sulfate concentration of 15 mg/l. Zn ions in the concentration range from 1.875 to 15 mg/l generally showed a stimulating effect on the processes of hemorrhizogenesis. The addition of copper ions in the studied range was manifested in a gradual inhibition of the morphogenic potential of both seedlings and cultivated microshoots of R. pseudoacacia. High concentrations of copper sulfate of 30 and 60 mg/l were sublethal for R. pseudoacacia microshoots.

Conclusion. The obtained results show that the studied concentrations of zinc ions can be used as effective stimulators of R. pseudoacacia morphogenesis in vitro culture.
