Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of germplasm preservation, and relates to a vitrification cryopreservation method for Huperzia serrata Background Art

[0002] Huperzia serrata (Thunb.) Trevis., scientifically named Huperzia serrata, is a perennial rare and endangered medicinal herbaceous fern of the genus Huperzia in the family Huperziaceae. Huperzia serrata has been used as a herbal medicine for treating traumatic injuries, stasis swelling and pain, schizophrenia and other diseases in Chinese folk. Especially, the secondary metabolite huperzine A contained in it has attracted much attention from the global medical community for its wide application in the treatment of senile memory decline, cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease. At present, scholars at home and abroad have not obtained a substitute with better activity than natural huperzine A for the synthesis of huperzine A, derivatives and analogues. Huperzia serrata plants are short, grow extremely slowly, have small biomass, and have limited wild resources. And the uncontrolled harvesting of the natural resources of Huperzia serrata by humans has caused the exhaustion and endangerment of resources. Therefore, effectively preserving its germplasm resources is crucial for maintaining species diversity, maintaining ecological balance, and future resource needs

[0003] Plant cryopreservation is a new biotechnology applied to plant germplasm preservation, which is one of the research hotspots in cryobiology and the only method that can safely preserve plant germplasm resources for a long time at present

How to apply effective cryoprotectants to the main steps such as cryo-loading treatment, dehydration treatment, and rapid thawing in cryopreservation, and effectively optimize the cryopreservation system are the key points for the success of the cryopreservation technology of Huperzia serrata Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vitrification cryopreservation method for Huperzia serrata. This method can make up for the deficiencies of the existing Huperzia serrata germplasm resource preservation technology, improve the survival rate of Huperzia serrata after cryopreservation, enrich the diversity of cryopreservation materials for fern germplasm, and provide new ideas for seeking cryopreservation of fern plant germplasm

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions

[0007] A vitrification cryopreservation method for Huperzia serrata uses Huperzia serrata sporangia as preservation materials, and the specific steps are as follows

[0012] (4) Vitrification treatment: After the treatment with the LS loading solution is completed, take out the sporangia and transfer them into a cryopreservation tube containing the PVS solution. Treat at 4 °C for 30 min, then replace it with the PVS2 solution pre-cooled at 4 °C and treat at 4 °C for 10 min;
