Methods and compositions for pollination disruption
Pollination process is disrupted by use of a pollination-disruption polynucleotide that renders the pollen unable to fertilize a sexually compatible ovule. The non-lethal nature of the pollen disruption polynucleotide is advantageous, particularly when operably linked to a transgenic polynucleotide of interest and prevents transmission of the polynucleotide through pollen. non-lethal markers are employed in an embodiment in which transgenic and non-transgenic seed can be sorted. A recombinase excision system is employed in an embodiment to activate the pollen disruption polynucleotide.

Bulk sorting of conifer somatic embryos
InactiveUS20050246802A1Quality improvementImprove isolationHorticulture methodsPlant tissue cultureHigh probabilitySomatic embryogenesis
The selection and isolation of mature somatic conifer embryos has previously involved chemical based or labour intensive techniques. Disclosed are simple yet highly effective methods to sort somatic embryos according to maturity to generate a population of quality somatic embryos that exhibit a high probability of successful conversion and germination. The methods include liquid sorting of somatic embryos using an aqueous liquid having a specific solute concentration and / or a viscosity. In this way, embryos that have attained a degree of maturity (and preferably desiccation tolerance) can be separated both from embryos that are comparatively immature and importantly from significant quantities of proliferation material and other organic matter generated during embryo propagation.

InactiveUS20050124065A1Buffer stressPromote absorptionCulture processCell culture mediaSolid componentNutrient solution
A method of sowing a somatic plant embryo or germinant of a conifer species to facilitate subsequent development of the embryo or germinant into an autotrophic seedling. The method involves the following steps carried out ex vitro in non-sterile conditions: providing a nutrient medium comprising particles of a solid component present within a flowable or semi-solid component containing water and a carbohydrate nutrient for the embryo or germinant, dispensing a quantity of the nutrient medium onto a surface of a porous solid growth substrate for the somatic plant embryo or germinant, and contacting the plant embryo or germinant with the nutrient medium. The nutrient medium has a fluidity such that at least some of the flowable or semi-solid component containing the carbohydrate nutrient remains in contact with the embryo or germinant at least until the embryo or germinant establishes vigorous growth under environmental conditions effective for such growth. The particles of the solid component are adapted to remain in contact with the embryo or germinant after of the flowable or semisolid material dissipates, thereby providing continuing physical support for the embryo or germinant after the dissipation. The invention also relates to seedlings produced in this way and to the nutrient solution.

The process most preferably comprises the steps of: placing a somatic embryo on or within a three-phase substrate, the phases comprising solid, liquid and gas phases, placing the substrate containing a somatic embryo into an environmentally-controlled plant-growing environment in which at least one environmental factor (i.e. moisture level within the three-phase substrate, atmospheric humidity, temperature, nutrients, ambient light intensity and diurnal photoperiod) may be controlled and manipulated, manipulating at least one of the environmental factors to enable and facilitate germination of the somatic embryo, and applying water and / or nutrient solutions at regular intervals, the intervals preferably ranging from 1 minute-24 hours, to the surface of the substrate in the form of microdroplets, preferably for a period of time ranging between 3 to eight weeks, such that somatic embryo imbibition, germination, growth and development occur. The process can be practiced in non-sterile conditions with “naked” fresh and / or HRHT-treated and / or desiccated embryos, i.e., non-encapsulated or otherwise uncoated embryos, and does not require the use of aseptic techniques or sterilized media or equipment.

Method for maturation of conifer somatic embryos
InactiveUS6897065B1Promote maturityBulk materialHorticulture methodsPlant tissue cultureGrowth plantCell mass
According to the invention an embryogenic cell mass is cultured with a culture medium comprising an anti-auxin resulting in an unexpected shift in physiology from proliferation to maturation. Proliferation is reduced so that the formation of new immature embryos ceases. Reduction of proliferation facilitates the transition from proliferation to maturation and maturation frequency is increased to a much larger extend than expected. Surprisingly, it has been discovered that the quality of the somatic embryos is not reduced, although the activity of the important endogenous plant growth regulator, auxin, is reduced. As a mater of fact, the overall quality of the mature embryos harvested at the end of maturation is actually increased over the prior art.

A nucleic acid-based method for tree phenotype prediction
The present invention relates to a novel method for the prediction of fibre length and the rapid selection of superior trees for given pulp and paper product lines using a DNA probe. The method comprises the isolation of tree genomic DNA from a hybrid spruce live tissue source, hybridization of the spruce DNA probe to that genomic DNA and the densitometric assessment of the intensity of the hybridization pattern obtained. This determines the precise degree of genetic admixing (or introgression) of the two parent species within the hybrid population. Due to the linear relationship - in the hybrid spruce population examined - between degree of genetic introgression and fibre length (discovered in this method), the intensity of the DNA probe hybridization pattern can be used to directly, accurately and reproducibly predict the fibre length found (for a given tree age) within an individual hybrid spruce within the population.
