Senescence of Pear Fruit Cells Cultured in a Continuously Renewed, Auxin-deprived Medium

RESUMO

Auxins and cytokinins support cell division in tissue and cell cultures. In cytokinin-independent pear (Pyrus communis) cells, omission of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from the medium for two successive transfers leads to rapid cell lysis, unless the osmolarity is raised to 0.4 molar with mannitol. Use of this system (nutrients plus mannitol minus 2,4-D) for the study of cell senescence was explored both in batch culture and in a system designed to permit medium renewal without withdrawal of live cells.
