Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biology, and particularly relates to a method for tissue culture and regeneration of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. Background Art
[0002] Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. is a plant of the genus Bougainvillea in the family Nyctaginaceae. There are about 1000 cultivated varieties globally. It is a widely popular ornamental plant and has important economic value. It can be applied in parks, desert gardens, home and institutional gardens in the forms of shrubs, hedges, shaped plants, potted plants, bonsai, hanging baskets, wind curtains, landscapes, and climbing on pergolas, trees, riverbanks, and difficult-to-maintain slopes, etc., and has the laudatory name of "Garden Glory". Therefore, Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. has attracted the attention of plant lovers and breeders around the world (Datta, 2022).
[0003] Surveys show that Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. is the provincial flower of Hainan Province and also the city flower of Sanya City. Due to the difficulties in cross-breeding of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd., the seed setting rate is extremely low, and the activity of the embryo is not high. It is difficult to cultivate new varieties and breed seedlings through cross-breeding means (Zhou Qun et al., 2016). It is imperative to find other breeding methods. In order to change this situation, we need to perform targeted modification on the existing Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. varieties. Therefore, establishing a molecular breeding improvement system for Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. is a necessary means to solve this situation.
[0004] Currently, the breeding methods of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. at home and abroad still remain at methods such as cutting and grafting. Through the method of tissue culture and regeneration, it only stays at using the stem segments with bud points (Gong Wei et al., 2005; Chen Xuan et al., 2024), shoot tips with bud points (Guo Haibin and Lei Jiajun, 2006), seeds (Pan Mei et al., 2017) of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. as explants, and establishing a rapid propagation system of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. to obtain complete plants by adjusting the types and concentrations of auxin and cytokinin in the culture medium at different stages. Currently, there is still no research on the induction of callus and further differentiation induction of callus. It will provide a new way for the functional research of key genes of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. and genetic engineering breeding, provide a new experimental material for the functional research of important genes of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. and targeted molecular improvement of important traits, and at the same time provide reference for the culture and propagation of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. callus. The method for inducing embryogenic callus of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. provided by the present invention is not only applicable to the research of the genetic transformation system of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd., but also applicable to the rapid propagation of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd.

[0021] The following is a further detailed description through specific embodiments:
[0022] The terms involved in the present invention:
[0023] 6-BA is 6-benzyladenine; IBA is indolebutyric acid; 2,4-D is 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid; KT is kinetin 6-glycoaminopurine; NAA is naphthaleneacetic acid; IAA is 3-indoleacetic acid; MS basal medium is 4.4 g / L; 1 / 2MS medium is 2.2 g / L; The reagents and the like used in the examples of the present invention can all be obtained through commercial channels.
[0024] Example 1 Preparation Method of Bougainivillea glabra ‘Light violet’
[0025] Using Bougainvillea glabra ‘Mrs.Eva White’ as the female parent, the stamens were removed and the flower was bagged before the pollen matured. When it was observed that there was mucus secreted from the top of the carpel stigma, mature pollen of Bougainvillea glabra ‘New River’ was selected, and pollination was carried out with a pollination stick and then bagged. After the bracts and flowers completely withered, the seeds were collected.
[0026] Example 2 Propagation method of Bougainivillea ‘Light violet’
[0027] This example provides a method and medium for tissue culture and regeneration of Bougainvillea, including the following operating steps:
[0028] Step S1: Obtain the hypocotyl for inducing callus
[0029] Pick the fruits of Bougainvillea, take their seeds, and select plump and pollution-free seeds. First, wash the surface dust with detergent and rinse with running water for 20 - 30 min. Then transfer the seeds to a sterile bottle in a laminar flow hood, wash them 3 times with sterile water, 1 min each time; then disinfect them with 1% sodium hypochlorite solution for 25 - 30 min; after disinfection, rinse them 5 times with sterile water, 1 min each time; place them on sterile filter paper to dry, and then inoculate them into the seed embryo germination medium MS + 30 g / L sucrose + 3 g / L phytagel, pH 5.8; the culture conditions are: temperature 25 - 28 °C, relative humidity 50 - 60%, dark culture for 10 - 14 d to obtain sterile seedlings with a height of about 4 - 5 cm, remove the roots and cotyledons of the seedlings to obtain the hypocotyl for inducing callus ( Figure 1 ).
[0030] Step S2: Induction of callus
[0031] Cut the hypocotyls obtained in step S1 into small segments about 0.5 - 1 cm in length, transfer them to the callus induction medium MS + 2 mg / L 6 - BA + 0.2 mg / L 2,4 - D + 30 g / L sucrose + 3 g / L phytagel, pH 5.8, inoculate 6 - 9 explants in each petri dish, and the petri dishes used are plastic petri dishes with a diameter of 90 mm and a height of 20 mm. The culture conditions are: temperature 25 - 28 °C, relative humidity 50 - 60%, dark culture for 20 - 30 d to obtain callus, count the induction rate of callus and observe and record the callus growth status, and replace the fresh callus induction medium every 15 d during this period.
[0032] The present invention tested the induction effects of six different hormone - ratio media on the hypocotyl callus of Bougainvillea and found that callus could be induced in all cases, but there were obvious differences in the effects (Table 1). 2 mg / L 6 - BA + 0.5 mg / L 2,4 - D ( Figure 2D) and 2 mg / L 6-BA + 0.2 mg / L 2,4-D( Figure 2 E) had an obvious induction effect, and buds could differentiate from 2 mg / L 6-BA + 0.2 mg / L 2,4-D on the 25th day of induction. 0.5 mg / L 6-BA + 1 mg / L KT( Figure 2 A), 0.5 mg / L 6-BA + 2 mg / L 2,4-D( Figure 2 B), 0.5 mg / L 6-BA + 4 mg / L 2,4-D( Figure 2 C) had poor callus induction effect after 25 days of induction, while using 2.5 mg / L 2,4-D alone( Figure 2 F) induced rooting.

[0034]
[0035]
[0036] Step S3: Adventitious buds are induced from the callus
[0037] Transfer the callus obtained in the second step to the differentiation medium MS + 2 mg / L 6-BA + 0.2 mg / L 2,4-D + 30 g / L sucrose + 3 g / L phytagel, pH 5.8, 6 - 9 in each petri dish. The used petri dish is a plastic petri dish with a diameter of 90 mm and a height of 20 mm. The culture conditions are: temperature 25 - 28 °C, relative humidity 50 - 60%, 16 h photoperiod. Buds differentiate after culturing for about 10 d, and adventitious buds are obtained after 30 d. During this period, the new callus induction medium is replaced every 15 d.
[0038] The present invention tested the induction effect of four different hormone ratio media on adventitious buds and found that 0.5 mg / L 6-BA + 1 mg / L KT( Figure 3 A), 2 mg / L KT + 0.2 mg / L NAA + 0.2 mg / L IAA( Figure 3 B) and 0.5 mg / L KT + 0.05 mg / L NAA + 0.05 mg / L IAA( Figure 3 C) could only make the callus continue to grow but could not induce the differentiation of adventitious buds, while 2 mg / L 6-BA + 0.2 mg / L 2,4-D( Figure 3 D) could induce adventitious buds, with a short induction time, high efficiency, and an average induction and differentiation rate of 90% (Table 2), which was the best medium for inducing adventitious buds.
[0039] Table 2 Induction effect of different media on adventitious buds
[0040]
[0041] Step S4, strong seedling stage: Cut the robust adventitious buds obtained in step S3 from the base, and inoculate them into the strong seedling medium MS + 2 mg / L 6-BA + 0.2 mg / L 2,4-D + 30 g / L sucrose + 3 g / L phytagel. The temperature is 25 - 28 °C, the relative humidity is 50 - 60%, and the photoperiod is 16 h. After about 30 days, adventitious buds with 8 - 10 true leaves are obtained ( Figure 4 A - B);
[0042] Step S5, rooting culture: Inoculate the adventitious buds obtained in S4 into five different hormone - ratio media for rooting of adventitious buds. The culture conditions are: temperature 25 - 28 °C, relative humidity 50 - 60%, photoperiod 16 h. After culturing for about 30 days, it is found that 1 / 2MS + 1.25 mg / L NAA + 0.75 mg / L IBA + 30 g / L sucrose + 3 g / L phytagel can induce adventitious buds to root, and the average rooting rate is 95% (Table 3), and the root system grows robustly ( Figure 4 C, D).

[0044]
[0045] Cut the robust adventitious buds obtained in step S3 from the base, remove the excess callus, and inoculate them into the rooting medium, 4 - 6 in each tissue culture bottle. The culture conditions are: temperature 25 - 28 °C, relative humidity 50 - 60%, photoperiod 16 h. The present invention tests step S6, acclimatization and transplantation
[0046] Acclimatize the tissue - cultured seedlings obtained in step S3 by opening the caps for about 10 days ( Figure 5 A), then wash off the phytagel on the roots, transplant them into the sterilized soil, and cultivate for about 30 days to obtain robust plants ( Figure 5 B).
