ABSTRACT

The sequence of histological and histochemical events occurring during organogenesis from Humulus lupulus var. Nugget internode-derived nodules was studied. Sections were made and studies were carried out from the start of culture treatment until the development of shoot buds. Cell division was observed in both cambial and cortical regions during the first week of culture establishment. Cell division in cortical cells led to the formation of an incipient callus tissue. From the calluses prenodular structures of cambial origin appeared and gave rise to nodules from which shoot buds formed. Nodules kept separating into "daughter nodules" from which arose an increasing number of shoot buds. Iodide staining showed a strong starch accumulation in callus tissue and in prenodular structures. During shoot-bud primordia formation starch content decreased in nodules. Some starch was also noted in control explants (cultured on basal medium), however at a lower level than that observed in explants cultured on media with growth regulators. Shoot-bud regeneration was not observed in control explants.

Key Words: Cannabinaceae • histological studies • Humulus lupulus var. Nugget • internodes • nodules • organogenesis • starch
