TI:  Pathogenicity of Bacillus circulans to seedlings of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera).
AU:  Leary-JV; Chun-WWC
SO:  Plant-Disease. 1989, 73: 4, 353-354; 7 ref.
LA:  English
AB:  When inoculated to seeds of 8 date palm cultivars, B. circulans isolate B02-3 pathogenic to date palm tissue cultures, significantly reduced the germination frequency of 3 cultivars and the FW and lengths of seedlings of 4 cultivars. A significant number of inoculated seedlings of these 4 cultivars showed disease symptoms consisting of necrosis that progressed down the cotyledon, followed by wilting.

TI:  Isolation of pathogenic Bacillus circulans from callus cultures and healthy offshoots of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.).
AU:  Leary-JV; Nelson-N; Tisserat-B; Allingham-EA

AB:  Pure cultures of a Gram-, rod-shaped bacterium, which produced endospores after 3-5 d. on solid medium, were isolated exclusively from date palm tissue cultures. Electron microscope examination of thin sections of the bacteria revealed the bilayer membrane typical of Gram- bacteria and confirmed the nature of the spores as true endospores. Biochemical and physiological tests identified the bacteria as B. circulans. B. circulans was consistently isolated from the internal tissues, including the meristem, of apparently healthy offshoots of date palm. When meristem and embryo callus tissue culture samples were injected with isolates from similar tissue culture samples and from offshoots, most produced a rapid, destructive soft rot of the tissues.

AB:  Embryos (of cv. Deglet Nour) were grown in Murashige and Skoog (MS) mineral solution. Leaves and roots were obtained in Knop's solution with sucrose. In a medium of MS mineral solution with NAA and BA, male and female inflorescences were formed in a few weeks. Culture on MS mineral solution + NAA + kinetin + coconut milk led to callus formation. Some plantlets were successfully transplanted to soil. In another trial embryos were grown in a solid medium containing minerals, sucrose and BA without coconut milk. Callus was formed in MS mineral solution + 2,4-D + BA. Plantlets were eventually obtained.

LA:  English
AB:  Calluses from 8 closely related lines of rice displayed large growth differences in response to treatment with a cryoprotective mixture (polyethylene glycol, glucose and DMSO), to freezing temp. and to the temp. at which the mixture was added then washed out. Careful control of these factors, e.g. by using a 0°/22°C addition/wash regime, allowed some cultures to survive freezing in liquid N. Similar experiments on date palm callus again showed variability of response between lines.
