The invention discloses a method for rapidly breeding a
hybrid orchid by a root, as well as a culture medium, and belongs to the technical field of
plant tissue culture. The method comprises steps as follows: a root segment of the
hybrid orchid is selected and inoculated on an induction culture medium for dark culture, and a protocorm is induced; after a large amount of the protocorms are proliferated, the protocorms are transferred for light culture and develop into tufted seedlings; and the tufted seedlings are
cut into single seedlings and inoculated to a strong
seedling rooting culture medium, and a rooting
plant is cultured and obtained. According to the method, MS (murashige and skoog) is taken as a basic culture medium, 6-BA (6-benzyladenine), PIC (4- amino-3,5,6-trichloropyridine-2-acid) and
casein hydrolysate are required to be added to the induction culture medium, and the strong
seedling rooting culture medium is the MS culture medium without
hormone. According to the method and the culture medium, the breeding efficiency is high, the operation is simple and convenient, and all of the protocorm inductivity, the
plant rooting rate and the
transplanting survival rate of root explants can reach 100%.
