The invention provides a method of removing
virus for Jiangxi Qianshan red-
bud taro through
vitrification cryopreservation. The method comprises: (1)
cutting shoot tips with a length being about 1 mm of single buds of the red-
bud taro under a
microscope; (2) pre-culturing the
shoot tips on a
solid medium of MS + KT 2 mg / L + NAA 0.5 mg / L +0.75 M
sucrose for three days; (3) after the
shoot tips are pre-cultured, using a 60 % PVS2 to dehydrate for 60 minutes under 25 DEG C, then using a 100 % PVS2 to dehydrate for 90 minutes under 0 DEG C, replacing with a new PVS2, and then putting into
liquid nitrogen; (4) after preservation,
defrosting the shoot tips in a 37 DEG C water bath, washing with a
liquid medium of MS + KT 2 mg / L + NAA 0.5 mg / L +1.2 M
sucrose for 3 times, 10 minutes for each time, culturing the washed shoot tips in dark for 5 days under 25 DEG C, and then culturing under a normal photoperiod with an illumination time being 14 hours per day, a
light intensity being about 1500-2000lx, and a culturing temperature being 25 DEG C, wherein the shoot tips can grow into normal buds after about 15 days; and (5) culturing the germinated buds in a rooting medium of 1 / 2 MS + NAA 0.1-0.5 mg / L, thereby obtaining the
virus-free seedlings of the red-
bud taro. Compared with prior art, the tube-test plantlets of the red-bud taro are high in
virus removing rate, the shoot tips can be taken in a large amount and the operation is simple and convenient.
