Abstract: | Micropropagated plants from two wild-olive species, Olea maderensis and O. europaea ssp. europaea var. sylvestris were screened for genetic stability. O. maderensis shoots were elongated/multiplied on OMG medium with zeatin (9.12 lM), and rooted on 1/2 OMG with NAA (3.22 lM). O. europaea var. sylvestris shoots were elongated/multiplied on OM medium with zeatin, and rooting was optimal after a hormonal shock (IBA 100 lM) followed by transfer to the same medium without growth regulators. In both species, acclimatization was successful and plants looked normal and morphologically identical to the donor field trees. Genetic variability was assessed at several stages of the micropropagation process using flow cytometry (FCM) and nuclear microsatellites (SSR). No changes in ploidy level were found among micropropagated plants, though small deviations, putatively due to the negative effects of cytosolic compounds on propidium iodide staining, between these and field plants were observed. In SSRs analyses, ten SSR markers were able to distinguish between genotypes. No mutations were found in these tested SSR loci among the donor tree and micropropagated plants, suggesting, for the tested markers, genetic uniformity throughout the process. The FCM and SSR results obtained do not exclude the occurrence of other changes in the nuclear genome but, considering the morphological stability of micropropagated plants, indicate that both protocols are suitable and efficient for large scale, true-to-type micropropagation of these two wild olive species. |
