- Abstract
- + Background and Aims The clone EMB-2 of the interspecific hybrid Helianthus annuus H. tuberosus provides
an interesting system to study molecular and physiological aspects of somatic embryogenesis. Namely, in
addition to non-epiphyllous (NEP) leaves that expand normally, EMB-2 produces epiphyllous (EP) leaves
bearing embryos on the adaxial surface. This clone was used to investigate if the ectopic expression of
H. annuus LEAFY COTYLEDON1-LIKE (Ha-L1L) gene and auxin activity are correlated with the establishment
of embryogenic competence.
+ Methods Ha-L1L expression was evaluated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and in situ hybridization. The
endogenous level and spatial distribution of free indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were estimated by a capillary gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring method and an immuno-cytochemical approach.
+ Key Results Ectopic expression of Ha-L1L was detected in specific cell domains of the adaxial epidermis of EP
leaves prior to the development of ectopic embryos. Ha-L1L was expressed rapidly when NEP leaves were
induced to regenerate somatic embryos by in vitro culture. Differences in auxin distribution pattern rather than
in absolute level were observed between EP and A-2 leaves. More precisely, a strong IAA immuno-signal was
detected in single cells or in small groups of cells along the epidermis of EP leaves and accompanied the
early stages of embryo development. Changes in auxin level and distribution were observed in NEP leaves
induced to regenerate by in vitro culture. Exogenous auxin treatments lightly influenced Ha-L1L transcript
levels in spite of an enhancement of the regeneration frequency.
+Conclusions In EP leaves, Ha-L1L activity marks the putative founder cells of ectopic embryos. Although the
ectopic expression of Ha-L1L seems to be not directly mediated by auxin levels per se, it was demonstrated that
localized Ha-L1L expression and IAA accumulation in leaf epidermis domains represent early events of somatic
embryogenesis displayed by the epiphyllous EMB-2 clone. (literal)
