Abstract
The recalcitrant nature and increased regenerative capacity in relation to in vitro subcultures in two cactus genera Rhipsalidopsis (Easter cactus) and Schlumbergera (Christmas cactus) were studied by examining the endogenous concentrations of several endogenous phytohormones and enzyme activities. Leaf tissue from greenhouse-grown mother plants, in vitro subcultures 1 and 3, and callus tissues were analyzed and correlated with regenerative ability. The cytokinins present in the two cacti genera were mainly isopentenyl-type derivatives. The total content of isopentenyl-type cytokinins in greenhouse-grown leaves of Rhipsalidopsis was more than twice the amount found in greenhouse-grown leaves of Schlumbergera. The total cytokinin content decreased during subculturing. Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX, EC 1.4.3.18/1.5.99.12) activity increased during subculturing. In Schlumbergera there is no effect of subculturing on CKX and related cytokinin homeostasis. The total peroxidase (POX, EC 1.11.1.7) activity in greenhouse-grown leaves of both genera was low, and the activity increased significantly during subculturing, more specifically in the tissue of Rhipsalidopsis. The results clearly indicated that an enhanced auxin metabolism (biosynthesis, conjugation/deconjugation, and POX activity), in combination with an enhanced CKX activity, shifts the auxin and cytokinin pool, favoring adventitious shoot formation in Rhipsalidopsis, whereas the low level of POX activity, together with auxin autotrophy/ conjugation, makes Schlumbergera more recalcitrant.
