Abstract

The effect of plant antimicrobial peptides on the initiation of callus and embryonal suspensor masses, formation of somatic embryos, and germination of regenerants of Siberian larch has been studied. Protein/peptide extracts isolated from Amarantus retroflexus (seeds), Nigella sativa (seeds), and Elytrigia elongata (spikelets) have been used as objects of plant origin. Peptides have been introduced into the nutrient media at the stage of initiation of embryogenic cultures and somatic embryo germination. The stimulating effect of peptides on the formation of embryogenic cultures of Siberian larch has been found. No other differences in the dynamics of growth in the control and experimental regenerants have been observed. This study is supposed to contribute to enhancing the immunity of the clonal planting stock of Siberian larch.
