In rice (Oryza sativa) tissue culture, callus can be induced from the scutellum in embryo or from the vasculature of non-embryonic organs such as leaves, nodes, or roots. Here we show that the auxin signaling pathway triggers cell division in the epidermis of the scutellum to form an embryo-like structure, which leads to callus formation. Our transcriptome data show that embryo-, stem cell-, and auxin-related genes are upregulated during scutellum-derived callus initiation. Among those genes, the embryo-specific gene OsLEC1 is activated by auxin and involved in scutellum-derived callus initiation. However, OsLEC1 is not required for vasculature-derived callus initiation from roots. In addition, OsIAA11 and OsCRL1, which are involved in root development, are required for vasculature-derived callus formation but not for scutellum-derived callus formation. Overall, our data indicate that scutellum-derived callus initiation is regulated by an embryo-like development program, and this is different from vasculature-derived callus initiation which borrows a root development program.
在水稻(Oryza sativa)组织培养中,可以从胚的盾片中或从非胚器官(如叶片、节或根)的脉管系统中诱导愈伤组织。在这里,我们表明,生长素信号通路触发盾片表皮细胞分裂形成类似胚胎的结构,从而导致愈伤组织形成。我们的转录组数据表明,在盾片衍生的愈伤组织起始过程中,胚胎、干细胞和生长素相关基因上调。在这些基因中,胚胎特异性基因 OsLEC1 被生长素激活,并参与盾片衍生的愈伤组织起始。然而,OsLEC1 对于根脉管系统衍生的愈伤组织起始不是必需的。此外,参与根发育的 OsIAA11 和 OsCRL1 对于脉管系统衍生的愈伤组织形成是必需的,但对于盾片衍生的愈伤组织形成不是必需的。总体而言,我们的数据表明,盾片衍生的愈伤组织起始受类似胚胎发育程序的调控,这与借用根发育程序的脉管系统衍生的愈伤组织起始不同。
