Abstract:

Using soybean Williams 82 and other varieties as research materials,the nuclear separation effects of 6 different kinds of nuclear dissociation solutions were compared,aiming to prepare the high-purity nucleus suspensions from different soybean tissues suitable for flow cytometry analysis,as well as to detect the application of them in the regulation of soybean cell cycle. The fresh young leaves and roots of soybean were mechanically cut in different nuclear dissociation solutions to release the nuclei from the tissues. After passing through 400 mesh sieves,enriched by centrifugation,and DAPI staining,the characteristics of biological particles and DNA content in the nuclear dissociation solution were detected and analyzed by flow cytometry. The results showed that Galbraith’s and LB01 dissociation solutions were suitable for the dissociation of nuclei from the soybean leaves and roots,and their coefficient of variation values were quite low at 2.78% and 2.96%,respectively. Among them,a distinct G2/M cell cycle peak was found in the LB01 nuclear dissociation buffer,which was more suitable for cell cycle and genetic ploidy research. Moreover,the nuclear dissociation solution can be successfully applied to analyze the regulation of drought stress simulated by PEG on the cell cycle of different soybean tips.
