High-efficiency mutation breeding method of red beech leaf color mutant

Abstract

The invention relates to a mutation breeding method of a forest tree leaf color mutant, and discloses a high-efficiency mutation breeding method of a red beech leaf color mutant. The high-efficiency mutation breeding method mainly comprises the following steps that (1) full seeds of red beech after air separation are stored and germinated in wet sand at 2-6 DEG C; (2) when 15-30% of the seeds arerevealed, a mixed solution of 0.5mol/L calcium chloride and 0.02mol/L ethylmethane sulfonate is used for soaking the seeds for 60-80 min; (3) the seeds are rinsed with water for 3-5 times and then sown, management is performed according to a conventional method, after one month, branches with leaf color mutation gradually appear, mutant strains can reach about 0.28%, and the leaf color mutant strains are marked; (4) at the beginning of March of a following year, the branches with stable leaf color mutation are selected and grafted on red beech rootstocks which are 1-2 years old and 0.8-1.3cm in ground diameter, and routine management is performed after grafting; and (5) buds on the leaf color mutation branches are taken for further grafting and expanding propagation, and new red beech leafcolor seedlings are cultivated.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a method for mutation breeding of new varieties of forest tree leaf color, in particular to a method for efficient mutation breeding of red beech leaf color mutants. Background technique: [0002] Red beech is distributed intermittently from East Asia to the Mediterranean region, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in my country is the central area of ​​red beech distribution. The red beech tree is tall and beautiful, with reddish to deep red leaves when mature. It is a tree species integrating timber, landscape and ecological functions. Beech wood is hard, with clear texture and layer upon layer. It is called "pagoda pattern" by craftsmen. It is a precious material for interior decoration and high-end furniture. [0003] Domestic research on red beech mainly focuses on cultivation, seed selection, tissue culture and biological characteristics. Zhang Lijun (1999), Zhou Wenming (2001) and others have studied...
