Resumen
Ocotea catharinensis is a basal angiosperm and an endangered tree species from the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest. Despite its economical and ecological importance, mass-propagation of this species is hampered by seldom-produced short-lived seeds, and in vitro propagation is challenged by frequently malformed somatic embryos. Therefore, O. catharinensis somatic embryos are also a good experimental material to study the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying in vitro morphogenesis. In an ongoing effort to characterize genes expressed during somatic embryogenesis of O. catharinensis we have cloned two Ocotea WUSCHEL-related genes. According to our RT-PCR data, both genes were preferentially expressed in embryogenic cell aggregates. One of them, OcWUS, is a possible ortholog of the Arabidopsis WUSCHEL (WUS) gene, which codes for a homeodomain-containing protein involved in the specification and maintenance of the shoot apical meristem. We analyzed the expression patterns of OcWUS and OcWOX4 by RT-PCR, and OcWUS expression was also assessed by in situ hybridization. The expression patterns of OcWUS were very similar to those described for the Arabidopsis WUS. OcWUS transcripts were generally restricted to a small group of cells in the center of the putative shoot apical meristem of O. catharinensis somatic embryos. Perturbed expression of OcWUS might be related to abnormally formed somatic embryos of O. catharinensis obtained through tissue culture. © 2011 Springer-Verlag. 26 2 493 501 Altschul, S.F., Madden, T.L., Schäffer, A.A., Zhang, J., Zhang, Z., Miller, W., Lipman, D.J., Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs (1997) Nucleic Acids Res, 25, pp. 3389-3402 Breuninger, H., Rikirsch, E., Hermann, M., Ueda, M., Laux, T., Differential expression of WOX genes mediates apical-basal axis formation in the Arabidopsis embryo (2008) Dev Cell, 14, pp. 867-876 Deveaux, Y., Toffano-Nioche, C., Claisse, G., Thareau, V., Morin, H., Laufs, P., Moreau, H., Lecharny, A., Genes of the most conserved WOX clade in plants affect root and flower development in Arabidopsis (2008) BMC Evol Biol, 8, p. 291 Dornelas, M.C., van Lammeren, A.A., Kreis, M., Arabidopsis thaliana SHAGGY-related protein kinases (AtSK11 and 12) function in perianth and gynoecium development (2000) Plant J, 21, pp. 419-429 Ewing, B., Hillier, L., Wendl, M.C., Green, P., Base-calling of automated sequencer traces using phred.
