Abstract
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (mMDH) isozymes were tested as markers to study the effect of a high kinetin concentration on isozyme phenotypes and on the development ofCereus peruvianus callus tissue culture. Three-year-old callus tissues were used as samples. Callus tissue samples grown on 4.0 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and on 4.0 and 8.0 mg/LN-(2-furanylmethyl)-1H-purine-6 amine (kinetin) were cut and transferred to fresh medium containing 4.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 4.0, 8.0, 16.0, and 32 mg/L kinetin combinations. The pattern of changes observed in the ADH and mMDH isozymes as well as the growth of callus tissues was independent of the concentrations tested. The various ADH and mMDH isozymes seem to be products of differential association of subunits of the twoAdh and twomMdh genes. Both genes are active throughout callus tissue development; however, gene expression changed with various callus culture conditions. This study addresses how long-term callus culture conditions affect constitutive and differential gene expression of theAdh andmMdh genes inC. peruvianus.
