TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the seedling raising technical field of Cremastra appendiculata, in particular to a three-stage seedling raising method of Cremastra appendiculata. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cremastra appendiculata, also known as "mountain Cigu", is a perennial rare medicinal plant of the genus Cremastra of the Orchidaceae family. According to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the dry pseudobulb is used as a medicine, has the effects of clearing heat and resolving toxins, reducing phlegm and resolving nodules, and is often used for treating sores, sore throat, and scrofula caused by phlegm fire stagnation.
[0003] Due to the small size of wild Cremastra appendiculata seeds without endosperm and serious lignification of seed coat, the seeds can only break through the germination barrier by establishing an interaction relationship with specific symbiotic fungi under natural conditions, resulting in difficulty in natural propagation of wild populations and extremely weak regeneration capacity. In addition, due to overexploitation and habitat destruction, wild resources of Cremastra appendiculata have been listed as a national second-class protected plant, and artificial large-scale breeding has become a core approach to alleviate resource crisis. In traditional aseptic seeding technology, the cost of tissue culture seedling cultivation process is high, and the requirements for equipment, technology and professional personnel are strict. After the seedlings are transplanted to the natural environment, the survival rate is low due to poor environmental adaptability, and it is difficult to achieve large-scale breeding. These problems seriously restrict the artificial cultivation and popularization of Cremastra appendiculata, and therefore it is urgent to develop an efficient seedling breeding technology.
[0004] The present application aims to develop a complete "three-stage seedling raising method" (seed symbiotic germination culture → protocorm symbiotic germination culture → transplanted adult seedling), which solves the core problems of low seed germination rate, slow seedling growth rate and low survival rate after transplanting, and provides a theoretical basis and practical guidance for resource protection, large-scale seedling breeding and industrialized cultivation of Cremastra appendiculata. SUMMARY

The diameter of the selected Cymbidium prothallus is ≥5mm, and the germination cultivation container is planted with the prothallus and the germination substrate with a plant spacing of 2.5-3.5cm. The prothallus is completely covered with the germination substrate and is 0.8-1.2cm higher than the prothallus. The root-fixing water is poured thoroughly, and the container is placed in a greenhouse at 22-25℃ and a medium relative humidity of 70%-85%. The light time is 12h / d, and the cultivation is carried out for 110-130 days. Water is poured every 1-3 days to keep the substrate moist. When the prothallus differentiates into leaves and roots, Cymbidium seedlings with a height of ≥8cm are obtained. (7) Seedling transplanting: The soil in the greenhouse is disinfected by spraying carbendazim at a dilution of 800-1200 times, and the soil pests are killed by spraying clothianidin. After 2-4 days of disinfection, the white ghost fungus bag is broken into 0.5-1cm particles and mixed with soil, with a mass ratio of 2:0.8-1.2. The soil and white ghost fungus bag are deeply plowed to a depth of 25-35cm and leveled into a ridge. The ridge width is 1-1.5m, and the height is 18-25cm. The Cymbidium seedlings with a height of ≥8cm are selected and transplanted to the ridge surface with a plant spacing of 10cm×15cm. The transplanting depth is suitable for the top of the prothallus to be just submerged by the soil surface. The root-fixing water is poured thoroughly. The temperature in the greenhouse is controlled at 22-28℃, and the shading net is used to shade about 75%. The cultivation is carried out for 55-65 days, and the growth of the seedlings is monitored.
[0007] In the foregoing step (1), the cultivation of the white ghost fungus mycelium block: the white ghost fungus is inoculated into the PDA medium slope, and incubated at 25℃ for 7 days. After the mycelium grows over the plate, the edge of the pure mycelium is picked and transferred to a new PDA medium for continuous purification for 3 times. The white ghost fungus mycelium block is obtained and stored at 4℃ for standby use.
[0008] In the foregoing step (1), the PDA medium is prepared by adding 200g / L of potatoes, 20g / L of glucose, and 20g / L of agar to 1L of distilled water, and then sterilizing at 121℃ for 20min.
[0009] In the foregoing step (2), the mass ratio of the sawdust of broadleaf trees, bran, gypsum powder, and sucrose is 8:1:0.5:0.5.
[0010] In the foregoing step (3), 500g of the sawdust-bran mixed substrate is packed in a bag, compacted, and sealed with cotton. The bag is sterilized at 121℃ for 2h, and then cooled to room temperature. The white ghost fungus mycelium block is inoculated into the bag in a clean bench, with 3 blocks per bag. Each white ghost fungus mycelium block has a diameter of 10mm. The bag is incubated at 25℃ in the dark for 20 days. When the mycelium grows over the bag and forms a sclerotium, the white ghost fungus bag is obtained and stored for standby use.
[0011] In the aforementioned step (3), the culture bag used for the sawdust-bran mixed matrix is a polypropylene bag, and the specification of the polypropylene bag is 17 cm×33 cm.
[0012] In the aforementioned step (5), seed-associated fungus germination culture: four layers of culture substrate are laid in the germination culture container, namely the bottom layer, the middle layer, the upper layer and the surface layer. The bottom layer is laid with 4 cm thick sterilized humus soil, and the middle layer is laid on the sterilized humus soil of the bottom layer. The structure of the middle layer is designed to first use half of the sawdust blocks as a base, and then distribute the white false agaricus mushroom bags in a grid shape with a spacing of about 5 cm on the sawdust blocks, and then completely cover the remaining sawdust blocks. The thickness of the middle layer is 5-8 cm, and the volume ratio of the sawdust blocks to the white false agaricus mushroom blocks is 1:1. The size of the sawdust blocks is 1-2 cm thick, 1 cm wide, and 1-5 cm long. The white false agaricus mushroom blocks are obtained by crushing the white false agaricus mushroom bags into 3-4 cm 3 The middle layer is covered with an upper layer, which is sterilized humus with a thickness of 1 cm. The azalea seeds are sown on the sterilized humus on the upper layer. Finally, the surface layer is covered with sterilized humus with a thickness of 1 cm. The sterilized humus covers the seeds. Under the conditions of relative humidity of 70%-85% and temperature of 20-22℃, the culture is carried out for 90 days to obtain the germinated azalea protocorms.
[0013] In the above step (6), the protocorms are cultured with bacteria for germination: the white pseudo-coprinus agaricus mushroom bags are crushed into 0.5-1 cm particles and mixed with sterilized humus soil at a mass ratio of 1:3 as a germination culture medium, and the mixture is placed in a germination culture container to a height of 0.8-0.9 cm. The azalea orchid protocorms with a diameter of ≥5 mm are selected and planted together with the germination culture medium at a spacing of 3 cm into the germination culture container, and the germination culture medium is covered to completely cover the protocorms and 1 cm higher than the protocorms. The roots are irrigated with water, and the seeds are placed in a greenhouse at 22-25°C and a relative humidity of 70%-85% for cultivation, with a light duration of 12h / d for 120 days. Watering is carried out every 1-3 days to keep the medium moist. When the protocorms differentiate into leaves and roots, mature azalea orchid seedlings with a plant height of ≥8 cm are obtained.
[0014] In the above step (7), seedling transplanting: prepare the soil in the greenhouse in advance, dilute carbendazim 1000 times and spray it on the greenhouse soil for sterilization and disinfection, then spray the soil pests with clothianidin, and after disinfection for 3 days, crush the white false agaricus mushroom capsules into 0.5-1 cm particles and mix them with the soil, the mass ratio of soil to white false agaricus mushroom capsules is 2:1, and deep plowing is carried out to 30 cm and then leveled to make a bed, the bed width is 1.2 m and the height is 20 cm. Select azalea orchid with a height of ≥8 cm and transplant it with soil clumps to the bed surface, the plant spacing is 10 cm × 15 cm, the transplanting depth is suitable for the top of the bulb to be just submerged by the soil surface, and water thoroughly to establish roots; the temperature in the greenhouse is controlled at 22-28 ° C, and a shade net is used to shade about 75%. Cultivate for 60 days and monitor the growth of the seedlings.
[0015] In the aforementioned step (7), after the seedlings are transplanted, field management is performed, and weeds are removed and diluted organic fertilizer is sprayed.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: 1. By seed associated bacteria germination culture, the treatment group 3 uses 3 cm wood chip blocks and fungus package blocks as mixed substrates, so that the germination rate of the cymbidium goeringii seeds is the highest, and the number of cymbidium goeringii protocorms reaches 590 per 100 cm 2 , which is significantly higher than that of other treatments (P<0.05); 2. In the protocorm associated bacteria germination culture stage, the fresh weight of single seedling reaches 2.72 g, the total length of single seedling reaches 14.5 cm, the underground part length reaches 4.6 cm, and the aboveground part length reaches 9.9 cm. The protocorm formed in the first stage of treatment 1 is the smallest (weight 19.3 mg, length 0.58 cm), and the fresh weight and plant height after transplanting are the lowest, only 37.5% and 51.7% of those of treatment 3. The growth indexes of seedlings of treatment 2 and treatment 4 are between those of treatment 3 and treatment 1, and are significantly positively correlated with the size of the first stage protocorm.
[0017] 3. After the seedlings are transplanted, the plant height of the seedlings in the treatment group with added fungus package blocks is (19.6±1.3) cm, which is significantly higher than that of the control (13.3±0.9) cm (P<0.05), and the plant height increases by 47.4%; in terms of fresh weight, the average fresh weight of the seedlings with added fungus package blocks is (3.8±0.25) g, which is significantly higher than that of the control (2.1±0.18) g (P<0.05), and is 1.81 times that of the control; in terms of survival rate, the survival rate of the seedlings in the treatment group with added fungus package blocks reaches 91%, which is significantly higher than that of the control (58%) (P<0.05), and the survival rate increases by 56.9%.
[0018] 4. The "three-stage seedling cultivation method" developed in this study effectively overcomes the limitations of traditional cymbidium goeringii sterile tissue culture technology by introducing associated bacteria to construct a fungus-plant symbiotic system. Studies have shown that fungi can degrade wood chip substrates by secreting cellulase and ligninase, continuously releasing nutrients such as glucose and amino acids
[12] , which not only reduces the dependence on culture medium (significantly saving material costs), but also simulates the nutrient supply mode of natural habitat through biological transformation process.
[0019] 5、The "three-stage seedling cultivation method" developed in this study breaks through the limitations of traditional Cymbidium goeringii tissue culture technology, achieving the synergistic optimization of economic feasibility, technical generalizability, and ecological adaptability. In terms of industrial application, this method has significant advantages: (1) Economic feasibility - sawdust substrate can be obtained from forestry waste factories, and fungus bag blocks can be mass-produced using simple fermentation tanks (costing about 5000 yuan), reducing the cost of cultivating a single seedling to 1.2-1.5 yuan, which is only 30-40% (1 / 3-2 / 5) of the cost of tissue culture seedlings. With 10,000 m 2 of production base, annual cost savings of 425-597 million yuan; (2) Technical generalizability - the method is simple to operate, and the entire process does not require a sterile operating room, so farmers can master the key technology after simple training, making local cultivation in remote areas possible; (3) Ecological adaptability - the root system of the symbiotic seedlings is stronger, and the survival rate after transplanting is significantly improved, solving the core problem of poor environmental adaptability of tissue culture seedlings. These innovative breakthroughs not only provide a commercially viable alternative for the large-scale production of Cymbidium goeringii, but the technical principles can also be applied to the conservation and commercial cultivation of other rare orchid plants.

[0038] The inventor verified the effect of the present application by a large number of experiments, and the specific experiments are as follows: 1Materials and methods 1.1 Experimental materials 1.1.1 Strain source The associated bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of wild Cymbidium goeringii, and the strain was identified by morphological observation and molecular biology (based on ITS sequence analysis). The seeds of Cymbidium goeringii were obtained from the healthy mature capsules of Baolin Technology Co., Ltd. in Anshun, Guizhou Province, and were stored in a refrigerator at 4°C for later use. 1.1.2 Culture medium and reagents The isolation medium was PDA medium (potato 200 g / L, glucose 20 g / L, agar 20 g / L, distilled water to 1 L, 121°C high pressure sterilization for 20 min). The materials for making the fungus package included sawdust of broad-leaved trees (passed through a 2 mm sieve), bran, gypsum powder (CaSO4·2H2O), and sucrose, which were mixed in a mass ratio of 8:1:0.5:0.5, and water was added to adjust the moisture content to 60%-65%. The cultivation substrate was humus soil (pH 5.5-6.5) which was sterilized at 121°C for 2 h. The broad-leaved wood chips used in the experiment were divided into four sizes: sawdust of ash wood chips (passed through a 0.5 mm sieve), 1 cm wood chips, 3 cm wood chips, and 5 cm shavings wood chips, all of which were sterilized. The cultivation container was a transparent sealed box with a lid in the first stage, made of PET material, with an outer diameter of 45x36x14 cm and an inner diameter of 41x32x13 cm. In the second stage, it was a transparent plastic box without a lid, with an outer diameter of 45x36x14 cm and an inner diameter of 41x32x13 cm. In the third stage, it was a greenhouse cultivation bed (1x2 m) equipped with an automatic sprinkler system.
[0039] 1.2 Isolation and propagation of C. geogorum 1.2.1 Strain isolation Rhizosphere soil of wild Cymbidium goeringii was collected, and dilution plating method was used to isolate fungi on PDA plates. Single colonies were picked and identified as C. geogorum by ITS-rDNA sequencing (primers ITS1 / ITS4). The purified strain was inoculated into PDA slant and incubated at 25°C for 7 days in the dark. When the mycelium covered the plate, the edge of the pure mycelium was transferred to a new PDA medium, and the process was repeated for 3 times to obtain a pure culture strain, which was stored at 4°C for later use.
[0040] 1.2.2 Fungus package preparation Preparation of sawdust-bran mixed substrate: Broad-leaved wood chips were crushed to pass through a 2 mm sieve, and bran, gypsum powder, and sucrose were added and mixed. The mass ratio of broad-leaved sawdust, bran, gypsum powder, and sucrose was 8:1:0.5:0.5, and water was added to adjust the moisture content to 60%-65%. The sawdust-bran mixed substrate was obtained and stored for later use.
[0041] The mixed sawdust-bran mixed substrate was filled into polypropylene bacterial bags (specification 17 cm x 33 cm), about 500 g of dry material was filled into each bag, and after compaction, it was sealed with cotton plug, 121 ℃ high pressure sterilization for 2 h. After cooling to room temperature, the white ghost mushroom mycelium block (diameter 10 mm) was connected in the clean bench, 3 blocks were inoculated in each bag, and it was placed in a 25 ℃ dark incubator for 20 days, until the mycelium grew full of the fungus bag and formed sclerotia, and the white ghost mushroom fungus bag was obtained.
[0042] 1.3 Three-stage symbiotic seedling raising technology 1.3.1 First stage: seed symbiotic germination culture (sealed box culture) The germination culture container is a transparent sealed box with a cover, PET material, outer diameter size 45x36x14 cm, inner diameter size 41x32x13 cm, and 5 treatment groups are set, each group with 3 repeats.
[0043] Treatment 1: The bottom layer was laid with sterilized humus soil (thickness 4 cm); the middle layer was mixed with sawdust sawdust (passed through 0.5 mm sieve) and fungus bag block (broken into 3-4 cm small pieces) at a volume ratio of 1:1 (thickness 5 cm); the upper middle layer was covered with sterilized humus soil (thickness 1 cm), and then evenly scattered with one duoceras fruit pod seed (the weight of the fruit pod seed sown in each box was about 50 mg); finally, the top layer was covered with a layer of sterilized humus soil to cover the seeds (thickness 1 cm).
[0044] Treatment 2: The middle layer was mixed with wood chip block (thickness 0.5-1 cm, width 1 cm, length 1 cm) and fungus bag block (broken into 3-4 cm small pieces) at a volume ratio of 1:1, the middle layer used the structure design of "wood chip block-fungus-wood chip block", half of the wood chip block was used as the bottom, the white ghost mushroom fungus bag was distributed on the wood chip block in a grid shape with a spacing of about 5 cm, and the remaining wood chip block was completely covered, and the rest was the same as treatment 1. Treatment 3: The middle layer was mixed with wood chip block (thickness 0.5-1 cm, width 1 cm, length 1-5 cm) and fungus bag block (broken into 3-4 cm small pieces) at a volume ratio of 1:1, the middle layer used the structure design of "wood chip block-fungus-wood chip block", half of the wood chip block was used as the bottom, the white ghost mushroom fungus bag was distributed on the wood chip block in a grid shape with a spacing of about 5 cm, and the remaining wood chip block was completely covered, and the rest was the same as treatment 1. Control (CK): Sawdust and wood chip (0.5mm) as the medium, no mycorrhizal package added, the same as treatment 1. The seeds of Cymbidium goeringii are small and difficult to count. For the subsequent experiment, the mature and dried fruits were peeled and weighed accurately on an electronic balance (about 50mg per box). The sawdust was soaked for one night to ensure sufficient water absorption. The mycorrhizal package was completely covered when mixed with the sawdust. The relative humidity in the box was maintained at 70%-85% and the temperature was 20-22℃. The cultivation lasted for 90 days. The seed germination and protocorm formation were observed regularly. Figure 1 ).
[0045] 1.3.2 Second stage: protocorm germination and cultivation with mycorrhizal package Since the control (CK) did not form protocorms in the first stage, no seedlings were transplanted. Only the data of the four treatment groups with mycorrhizal package were counted in this stage.
[0046] The germination and cultivation container was a transparent plastic box without a lid, with an outer diameter of 45x36x14cm and an inner diameter of 41x32x13cm. The mycorrhizal package (crushed into 0.5-1cm particles) was mixed with sterilized humus soil at a mass ratio of 1:3 to serve as the cultivation substrate, which was filled into the flowerpot to a height of 2 / 3. The protocorms (diameter ≥5mm) formed after 90 days in the first stage from each treatment group were taken out of the sealed box, the attached substrate was retained, and they were transplanted into the corresponding flowerpot at a plant spacing of 3cm, covered with substrate to 1cm above the top of the protocorms, and watered thoroughly with rooting water. They were placed in a greenhouse for cultivation at a temperature of 22-25℃ and a relative humidity of 70%-85%, with a light period of 12h / d. Regular watering was performed to keep the substrate moist, and the cultivation lasted for 120 days until the protocorms differentiated into leaves and root systems (plant height ≥8cm).
[0047] 1.3.3 Third stage: transplanting of mature seedlings Two treatment groups were set up in the greenhouse cultivation stage, namely soil with mycorrhizal package (treatment group) and soil without mycorrhizal package (control, CK), both without sawdust. The soil was disinfected by spraying with a 1000-fold dilution of carbendazim and the soil pests were killed by spraying with thiamethoxam. After three days of disinfection, the soil was mixed with the mycorrhizal package (crushed into 0.5-1cm particles, no mycorrhizal package for the control) at a mass ratio of 2:1, deeply plowed to 30cm, and leveled into a ridge (ridge width 1.2m, height 20cm). Seedlings of similar size (plant height ≥8cm) from the second stage of cultivation were selected, transplanted into the corresponding ridge with soil clumps, with a plant spacing of 10cm x 15cm, and the transplanting depth was appropriate with the top of the protocorms just submerged by the soil surface. The soil was watered thoroughly with rooting water. The temperature in the greenhouse was controlled at 22-28℃, the shading net was used to shade about 75%, and regular weeding and spraying of diluted organic fertilizer were performed. The seedlings were cultivated for 60 days, and the growth of the seedlings was monitored.
[0048] 1.4 Measurement indicators and methods The number of protocorms formed and the seedling survival rate (number of surviving seedlings / number of transplanted seedlings × 100%) were regularly recorded at each stage. Plant height, leaf length, and pseudobulb diameter were measured with a ruler, and fresh weight was determined using an electronic balance. Each treatment was replicated three times, with 30 plants randomly selected each time. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 22.0 software, and significant differences were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's multiple comparison test (P < 0.05).
[0049] 2 Results and Analysis 2.1 Isolation and propagation of Agaricus albus When isolating fungi from the rhizosphere soil of Rhododendron orchid, a variety of fungal colonies were obtained on PDA plates by the dilution coating method. After picking a single colony and purifying it for culture, a strain with relatively consistent morphological characteristics was obtained, numbered 4B. The strain was subjected to ITS-rDNA sequencing. After amplification using primers ITS1 / ITS4, the sequencing results were compared in the GenBank database, and it was found that its homology with the white false agaricus (Coprinellus disseminatus) reached more than 98%. Combined with morphological observations (the colonies were white and fluffy, the hyphae were slender and grew rapidly), the strain was determined to be white false agaricus. After BLAST comparison with the GenBank database, the sequence similarity with multiple reference strains of white false agaricus (JQ713570.1, OK584436.1, ON426445.1) reached 99.8%. The phylogenetic analysis was constructed using the maximum likelihood (ML) method ( Figure 2 C), the bootstrap value was set to 1000 times, and the results showed that strain 4B and C. disseminatus clustered in the same branch (bootstrap support rate 98%).
[0050] The purified white pseudo-Agaricus was inoculated onto the PDA slant and cultured in the dark at 25°C. After 7 days, the mycelium covered the entire slant. The mycelium grew vigorously, was white in color, and had a uniform texture. Figure 2 A). After three consecutive purifications, the pure culture strain obtained maintained good activity for one month when stored at 4°C, and the mycelium recovered quickly after inoculation. During the bag propagation process, polypropylene bags inoculated with mycelial blocks of white pseudo-Amanita phalloides were cultured in a dark incubator at 25°C for about 10 days. Mycelium was visible spreading from the inoculated block to the surrounding matrix. By the 20th day of culture, the mycelium had grown throughout the bag, and a large number of sclerotia had formed inside the bag, with a dense texture ( Figure 2 B). The time it takes for mycelium to fully grow in bags made from different batches varies little, indicating that this propagation method has good stability and repeatability, and can provide sufficient and stable fungus sources for the subsequent three-stage symbiotic seedling production. 2.2 First paragraph: Seed germination and protocorm induction (sealed box culture) After 90 days of sealed box culture, the seed germination and protocorm formation of different treatment groups showed significant differences. The protocorm growth indicators of each treatment group from high to low were treatment 3 > treatment 4 > treatment 2 > treatment 1 > control (CK). The number of protocorms in treatment 3 reached 590 per 100 cm 2 , which was significantly higher than that of other treatment groups (P<0.05), 3.28 times that of treatment 1 (180 per 100 cm 2 ); the weight of single protocorm (31.7 mg) and length (0.90 cm) were also the highest in each group, which were 2.09 times and 2.14 times that of treatment 1 (15.2 mg, 0.42 cm), respectively. Treatment 1 performed the worst among all treatment groups with added fungus blocks, with each indicator slightly higher than the control (CK) without sterile blocks, and no seed germination or protocorm formation was observed in the control group during the entire experiment (Table 1).
[0051] Comprehensive analysis showed that the presence of C. geophilum significantly promoted the seed germination and protocorm formation of C. japonicum, and the size of sawdust blocks had a significant effect on symbiosis. The 3 cm sawdust block treatment provided the most suitable microenvironment for the symbiosis between C. geophilum and C. japonicum seeds, while the sawdust ash block had the worst effect due to the lack of fungus blocks and its own structure which was not conducive to ventilation and nutrient transfer.
[0052] Table 1 Protocorm growth indicators of different treatment groups after 90 days (per 100 cm 2 ) Note: The data in Table 1 are mean ± standard deviation, and different lowercase letters after the same column data indicate significant differences between treatments (P<0.05).
[0053] 2.3 Second paragraph: Protocorm transplantation and growth (pot domestication) In this stage, protocorms with a diameter ≥5 mm formed in the first stage were transplanted ( Figure 4 ), and the cultivation substrate was a mixture of the corresponding fungus blocks (crushed into 0.5-1 cm particles) and sterilized humus soil at a mass ratio of 1:3, without additional sawdust. The growth differences of seedlings in each group were mainly due to the initial size differences of protocorms formed in the first stage.
[0054] Table 2 Growth indicators of seedlings in different treatment groups after 120 days Note: The data in Table 2 are mean ± standard deviation, and different lowercase letters after the same column data indicate significant differences between treatments (P<0.05).
[0055] From Table 2, the seedling growth index of treatment 3 was significantly better than other treatment groups (P<0.05), which was consistent with the initial size of protocorm formed in the first stage of culture (weight 31.7 mg, length 0.9 cm) significantly better than other groups. Treatment 1 had the smallest protocorm formed in the first stage (weight 19.3 mg, length 0.58 cm), and the fresh weight and plant height were the lowest after transplanting, only 37.5% and 51.7% of treatment 3. The seedling growth index of treatment 2 and treatment 4 was between treatment 3 and treatment 1, and was significantly positively correlated with the size of the protocorm in the first stage. The control (CK) did not transplant seedlings because no protocorm was formed in the first stage. The results showed that the size of the protocorm formed in the first stage of culture was the key factor determining the growth of seedlings in the second stage, and the 3 cm sawdust treatment promoted the efficient development of protocorms, laying a foundation for subsequent growth.
[0056] 2.4 Third stage: seedling planting and greenhouse cultivation In this stage, two treatment groups were set up, soil with added fungus package blocks (treatment group) and soil without added fungus package blocks (control CK), and there was no sawdust in the soil. Healthy seedlings with good growth and similar size (plant height ≥ 8 cm) in treatment 3 in the second stage were selected for transplanting, 100 seedlings per group. After 60 days of greenhouse cultivation, the seedling growth index and survival rate of the two groups were significantly different (P<0.05). Figure 5 ).
[0057] From Figure 5 it can be seen that the plant height of the seedlings in the treatment group with added fungus package blocks was (19.6±1.3) cm, which was significantly higher than that of the control (13.3±0.9) cm (P<0.05), and the plant height increased by 47.4%; In terms of fresh weight, the average fresh weight of seedlings with added fungus package blocks was (3.8±0.25) g, which was significantly higher than that of the control (2.1±0.18) g (P<0.05), which was 1.81 times that of the control; In terms of seedling survival rate, the survival rate of the treatment group with added fungus package blocks reached 91%, which was significantly higher than that of the control (58%) (P<0.05), and the survival rate increased by 56.9%. The results showed that even if the seedlings cultivated in treatment 3 with the best growth in the second stage were transplanted, the soil environment with added fungus package blocks could still continuously promote the growth of seedlings and improve their survival ability, while the control environment without fungus package blocks significantly limited the growth potential of seedlings.
[0058] 3 DISCUSSION The traditional aseptic seeding technique of Cymbidium depends on high-precision tissue culture equipment, requires strict control of sterile environment, and involves MS medium configuration with sucrose, agar and various hormone substances. The cost of cultivating a single seedling is as high as 3-5 yuan, and professional operators need to be systematically trained, which has a high technical threshold. In addition, the tissue culture seedlings are in a constant temperature and humidity sterile environment for a long time, and their root development is fine, the cutin layer is weak, and they lack fungal symbiosis. After being transplanted to the natural environment, they cannot adapt to the changes in soil microbial community and physicochemical properties, and the survival rate is low.
[0059] The "three-stage seedling cultivation method" developed in this study effectively overcomes the limitations of traditional aseptic tissue culture techniques of Cymbidium by introducing associated bacteria to construct a fungal-plant symbiotic system. Studies have shown that fungi degrade sawdust substrate by secreting cellulase and ligninase, continuously releasing nutrients such as glucose and amino acids, which not only reduces the dependence on culture medium (significantly saving material costs), but also simulates the natural habitat's way of nutrient supply through biological transformation. In the first stage of seed associated bacteria germination culture, from the treatment effect of different sawdust specifications, 3cm sawdust block treatment Cymbidium protocorm grows the fastest, which may be because the 3cm sawdust block has appropriate porosity and water and fertilizer retention capacity, providing a good environment for the growth and reproduction of associated bacteria, thereby promoting the material exchange between protocorms through the network action of fungal hyphae. In contrast, the sawdust block may cause the substrate to be cemented due to the fine particles, resulting in poor aeration of the substrate, which cannot provide enough nutrients and suitable microenvironment for the symbiotic system. In the second stage of protocorm mixed bacteria germination culture, unlike the dependence on sterile environment of tissue culture seedlings, the root system of seedlings cultured by fungal symbiosis has formed mycorrhizal structure. This symbiotic relationship not only improves the nutrient uptake rate, but also enhances the disease resistance of the root system through the secretion of chitinase by the mycelium. In the third stage of transplanting mature seedlings, even if the seedlings (plant height ≥8cm) grown in the second stage treatment 3 (which has the best growth status) are transplanted, the soil environment with added fungus package block can still continuously promote the growth of seedlings and improve their survival ability, while the control environment lacking fungus package block significantly limits the growth potential of seedlings, further indicating the key role of stable symbiotic relationship between associated bacteria and Cymbidium in the later development of plants. The role of associated bacteria is not limited to the seed germination or protocorm formation stage, but extends throughout the growth process of Cymbidium seedlings, providing continuous theoretical support for their transition from artificial cultivation environment to natural soil environment, which further highlights the core value of fungal symbiosis in the "three-stage seedling method".
[0060] 4 Conclusion The "three-stage seedling cultivation method" developed in this study breaks through the limitations of traditional Cymbidium ensifolium tissue culture technology, achieving the synergistic optimization of economic feasibility, technical generalizability, and ecological adaptability. In terms of industrial application, this method has significant advantages: (1) Economic feasibility - sawdust substrate can be obtained from forestry waste factories, and fungus bag blocks can be mass-produced through simple fermentation tanks (cost about 5000 yuan). The cost of cultivating a single seedling is reduced to 1.2-1.5 yuan, which is only 30-40% (1 / 3-2 / 5) of the cost of tissue culture seedlings. With an annual production of 10,000 m 2 , the cost savings are 425-597 million yuan; (2) Technical generalizability - the method is simple to operate, and the entire process does not require a sterile operating room. Farmers can master the key technology after simple training, making it possible for local cultivation in remote areas; (3) Ecological adaptability - the root system of the seedlings produced through symbiotic cultivation is more robust, and the survival rate after transplantation is significantly improved, solving the core problem of poor environmental adaptability of tissue culture seedlings.
[0061] These innovative breakthroughs not only provide a commercially viable alternative for the large-scale production of Cymbidium ensifolium, but the technical principles can also be applied to the conservation and commercial cultivation of other rare orchid species. Future research can further optimize the combination of symbiotic strains and environmental control parameters to continuously improve the stability and applicability of the technology.
