Effect of heavy metal ions on Norway spruce embryos
 ?or?ević, Dragana
Aim of this work was to evaluate effect of copper and arsenic on Norway spruce embryogenic cell masses (ECMs) in different concentrations during 14 days proliferation period but as well during maturation and germination stages. Copper in lower concentrations increased the growth of ECMs while in higher concentrations growth was inhibited. Arsenic in concentrations 50, 250 and 500 uM showed very high toxicity and after 14 days proliferation period all ECMs were dead. In experiments with lower concentrations (10 and 25 uM), control had highest proliferation ratio while arsenic had insignificant difference on growth. Cell line I-1-3 had higher proliferation ratio and produced more somatic embryos during maturation in comparison with cell line III-3-3, respectively. After maturation certain number of abnormally developed cotyledonary somatic embryos was obtained. Norway spruce as a fast growing conifer tree is one of the most widely planted spruces and one of the most economically important species in Europe. The results of this thesis can help to understand effect of two tested metals on somatic embryogenesis but as well can be used for investigation of two tested clones in polluted soils.
