Abstract

Explant oxidative browning and necrosis of Camellia sinensis var. sinensis is a severe problem in tissue culture, often associated with the exuded phenolic compounds and microbial contamination from the explants. In this study, 2-aminoindane-2-phosphonic acid (AIP), an inhibitor of the polyphenol production-required enzyme phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), and different antibiotics were tested to control tea explant necrosis and browning. These compounds were supplemented in the regular plant growth medium together with 6-benzylaminopurine and thidiazuron at different concentrations. Our data indicated that application of 2 µM of AIP was able to effectively inhibit callus browning, significantly reduce EGC abundance, and greatly improve callus induction and growth. Moreover, the use of 150 mg/L of timentin and 30 mg/L gentamycin resulted in an effective elimination of the surface and endophytic microbes associated with explants of C. sinensis var. sinensis. Our study revealed that the inhibition of PAL using AIP combined with the two tested antibiotics could open up new doors to control oxidative tissue browning and endophyte contamination in tissue culture for tea genetic manipulation.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 August 2018.
All research outputs
#18,646,262
of 23,100,534 outputs
Outputs from 3 Biotech
#646
of 1,252 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#254,592
of 331,125 outputs
Outputs of similar age from 3 Biotech
#22
of 50 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,100,534 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,252 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,125 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 50 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
