Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for screening and directional cultivation of high-polysaccharide Dendrobium officinale, belonging to the field of tissue culture technology. Background Technology

[0002] Dendrobium is a perennial epiphytic herb belonging to the Orchidaceae family. In traditional Chinese medicine, Dendrobium officinale (iron-skin dendrobium) is used... Dendrobium officinale The *Dendrobium officinale* (Kimura et Migo) is widely used. As a precious resource used for both medicinal and edible purposes, the core active substance of *Dendrobium officinale* is its polysaccharide, which possesses traditional effects such as nourishing the stomach and promoting fluid production, nourishing yin and clearing heat, and soothing the liver and gallbladder. It also exhibits significant biological activity in immune regulation, anti-tumor activity, and antioxidant activity, making its medicinal and economic value outstanding. However, *Dendrobium officinale* has extremely strict requirements for its growth environment. Currently, although artificial cultivation has become the main method of market supply, it generally suffers from problems such as mixed germplasm, reduced genetic diversity, and degraded agronomic traits, leading to significant fluctuations in polysaccharide content (dry weight 12.3-38.7%) and unstable yield per acre (fresh weight 50-200 kg), among other quality defects. Therefore, breeding new *Dendrobium officinale* varieties with both high polysaccharide content and excellent stress resistance has become an urgent need for current germplasm innovation and industrial development.

[0003] Wild *Dendrobium officinale* from Danxia grows slowly, taking 4-5 years or longer from seed to first flowering, resulting in a low fruit set rate and sensitivity to environmental changes. While this slow growth rate ensures the accumulation of medicinal components to some extent, it also severely limits large-scale breeding and industrial development. Therefore, establishing a method for screening and targeted cultivation of a high-quality *Dendrobium officinale* variety with high polysaccharide content during its germination period has become a key scientific issue in overcoming industrial bottlenecks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problems of mixed germplasm and unstable polysaccharide content in existing Dendrobium officinale varieties by proposing a method for targeted screening and cultivation of high-polysaccharide Dendrobium officinale varieties during the germination period.

[0005] The present invention relates to a method for targeted screening and cultivation of high-polysaccharide Dendrobium officinale varieties during the germination period, which is carried out according to the following steps: I. Screening of high polysaccharide germplasm and preparation of materials: Dendrobium officinale plants of different groups were collected, and the total polysaccharide content was determined. Dendrobium officinale plants with a total polysaccharide content of more than 40% were screened. II. Obtaining self-pollinated capsules: The Dendrobium officinale plants selected in step one are artificially cultivated. During the artificial cultivation period, after reaching the flowering period, self-pollination is carried out to obtain mature capsules. III. Aseptic sowing and protocorm induction: Select plump and disease-free self-pollinating capsules obtained in step II, disinfect their surfaces, and sow them in plant tissue cell culture medium. Culture them under aseptic conditions until protocorms with a diameter of 0.2-0.3 cm are obtained. The plant tissue cell culture medium was 1 / 2 MS medium, with added sucrose: 20 g / L, potato starch: 30 g / L, agar: 5.2 g / L; pH value was 5.8; IV. Acid hydrolysis treatment of protocorms: Place the protocorms obtained in step 3 in periodic acid solution and soak them at room temperature for 1-2 minutes for acid hydrolysis; after acid hydrolysis, wash the protocorms. The periodic acid solution has a mass fraction of 0.1%. V. Protocorm staining: Take out the protocorms washed in step 4, place them in the staining solution, and stain in the dark for 3-5 minutes; after staining, wash the protocorms and screen out the stained protocorms; The preparation method of the dye is as follows: chitosan, sodium alginate, basic fuchsin, hydrochloric acid, sodium metabisulfite and activated carbon are mixed, calcium chloride crosslinking agent is added, and after stirring for 10-15 minutes, anhydrous ethanol is added to obtain the dye. The dye contains 0.5-1 wt.% chitosan, 1-2 wt.% sodium alginate, 4.5 wt.% basic fuchsin, 0.1 wt.% hydrochloric acid, 2.5 wt.% sodium metabisulfite, 0.1 wt.% anhydrous ethanol, and 20 wt.% activated carbon. VI. Induction of Differentiation and Cultivation of High-Polysaccharide Plants: The stained protocorms from step five were inoculated into the differentiation induction medium and cultured in the dark at 24-26℃ for 36-48 hours; finally, plant cultivation was carried out. The differentiation induction medium was 1 / 2 MS medium, with the following added ingredients: sucrose: 25 g / L, potato starch: 30 g / L, benzyladenine (6-BA): 1.0 mg / L, α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA): 0.1 mg / L, vitamin C (Vc): 100 mg / L, peptone: 1 g / L, agar: 5.2 g / L; pH value was 5.8.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. In this invention, after cultivating protocorms, acid hydrolysis is performed to release the polysaccharide components within the protocorms. The staining agent is a hydrogel system made of chitosan and sodium alginate. After the addition of anhydrous ethanol, the released polysaccharide components are adsorbed into the staining agent with the hydrogel system, achieving alcohol precipitation and enrichment. After staining reaction, color development is achieved, enabling rapid identification of high-polysaccharide Dendrobium officinale varieties. Compared with existing technologies, this invention not only significantly reduces the concentration of periodic acid solution used in acid hydrolysis and shortens the acid hydrolysis time, but also achieves the color development reaction on the outside of the protocorm, avoiding excessive damage to the epidermal cells of the protocorm and changes in tissue structure caused by the staining agent entering the protocorm. This ensures the structural integrity and shape stability of Dendrobium officinale, while shortening the staining time. This allows for rapid and non-destructive identification of high-polysaccharide Dendrobium officinale germplasm at the protocorm stage, significantly shortening the breeding cycle and improving screening accuracy and efficiency.

[0007] 2. The method of this invention optimizes the light, temperature and nutrient conditions during the critical period of polysaccharide synthesis through early screening combined with targeted environmental regulation, effectively promoting the biosynthesis and accumulation of Dendrobium polysaccharides, and enabling the cultivated high-polysaccharide Dendrobium officinale varieties to exhibit consistency and stability in terms of polysaccharide content and agronomic traits.

[0008] 3. The method of the present invention is simple to operate and has good repeatability, making it suitable for large-scale promotion and application. It can effectively reduce production costs, increase unit yield and quality, and provide a stable, high-quality and efficient seed source guarantee for the industrialization of Dendrobium officinale.

The precipitate was washed and centrifuged again to obtain crude polysaccharide from Dendrobium officinale. The crude polysaccharide was dissolved in hot water and diluted to a final volume to prepare a test solution. The absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 490 nm. The total polysaccharide content was calculated using glucose as a standard. The results are recorded in Table 2.

[0028] II. Obtaining self-pollinated capsules: The Dendrobium officinale plants selected in step one are artificially cultivated. During the artificial cultivation period, after reaching the flowering period, self-pollination is carried out to obtain mature capsules. The substrate used for artificial cultivation is composed of wood fiber blocks, coconut coir, perlite, vermiculite, and charcoal wool mixed in a mass ratio of 4:2:2:1:1. The artificial cultivation conditions for promoting flowering were as follows: 16 hours of light per day, 8 hours of darkness per day; temperature of 25℃, light intensity of 20,000 lx, and continuous cultivation for 200 days.

III. Aseptic sowing and protocorm induction: Select plump and disease-free self-pollinating capsules obtained in step II, disinfect their surfaces, and sow them in plant tissue cell culture medium. Culture them under aseptic conditions until protocorms with a diameter of 0.2-0.3 cm are obtained. The surface disinfection method is as follows: first wipe the surface with 75% alcohol, then soak it in 30% sodium hypochlorite solution for 23 minutes, then rinse it with sterile water 6 times, and finally dry it with sterile filter paper. The plant tissue cell culture medium was 1 / 2 MS medium, with added sucrose: 20 g / L, potato starch: 30 g / L, agar: 5.2 g / L; pH value was 5.8; The cultivation conditions were: 12 hours of light per day, 12 hours of darkness per day; temperature of 25°C; light intensity of 2000 lx; ​​and continuous cultivation for 35 days. IV. Acid hydrolysis treatment of protocorms: Place the protocorms obtained in step 3 in periodic acid solution and soak them at room temperature for 1 minute for acid hydrolysis; after acid hydrolysis, wash the protocorms. The cleaning process is as follows: wash with sterile water 3 times, 2 minutes each time, and then use sterile filter paper to absorb the surface moisture. The periodic acid solution has a mass fraction of 0.1%. V. Protocorm Staining: Take out the protocorms washed in step four, place them in the staining solution, and stain for 3 minutes in the dark; after staining, wash the protocorms and screen out the stained protocorms, see... Figure 1 ; The dyeing agent is prepared by mixing chitosan, sodium alginate, basic fuchsin, hydrochloric acid, sodium metabisulfite and activated carbon, adding calcium chloride crosslinking agent, stirring for 10 minutes and then adding anhydrous ethanol to obtain the dyeing agent. The dye contains 0.5 wt.% chitosan, 1 wt.% sodium alginate, 4.5 wt.% basic fuchsin, 0.1 wt.% hydrochloric acid, 2.5 wt.% sodium metabisulfite, and 0.1 wt.% anhydrous ethanol. The mass ratio of calcium chloride crosslinking agent to chitosan is 0.1:1, and the activated carbon content is 20 wt.%. The process for cleaning the protocorms is as follows: wash twice with sterile water for 1 minute each time, and then use sterile filter paper to absorb the surface moisture. VI. Induction of Differentiation and Cultivation of High-Polysaccharide Plants: The stained protocorms from step five were inoculated into the differentiation induction medium and cultured in the dark at 25°C for 48 hours; finally, plant cultivation was carried out. The differentiation induction medium was 1 / 2 MS medium, supplemented with sucrose: 25 g / L, potato starch: 30 g / L, benzyladenine (6-BA): 1.0 mg / L, α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA): 0.1 mg / L, vitamin C (Vc): 100 mg / L, peptone: 1 g / L, agar: 5.2 g / L; pH value was 5.8. The conditions for plant cultivation were: 12 hours of light per day, 12 hours of darkness per day; temperature 25℃; light intensity 2500 lx. The stained protocorms from step five were designated as the staining group, while the unstained protocorms from step three were designated as the control group. The staining group and the control group were cultured under the same conditions and placed in different culture bottles.

[0029] After 60 days of proliferation culture, the protocorms of the stained group sprouted and differentiated into leaves, growing to about 2-3 cm with 2-4 leaves, thus obtaining differentiated tissue culture seedlings. Figure 2 The differentiated tissue culture seedlings were then transferred to rooting medium (1 / 2 MS medium + 25 g / L sucrose + 30 g / L potato starch + 0.5 mg / L NAA + 1 g / L peptone + 5.2 g / L agar, pH 5.8) for rooting culture. The seedlings were placed on culture racks in the tissue culture laboratory and cultured for 60 days under the same photoperiod, temperature of 25℃, and light intensity of 5000 lx to obtain rooted tissue culture seedlings. The rooted tissue culture seedlings were then placed in a constant temperature seedling room for further culture, with the photoperiod controlled at 12 h / d, temperature at 28℃, and light intensity at 6000 lx. After approximately 30 days of hardening off, the seedlings reached a height of about 5-6 cm, making them ready for transplanting. Remove the tissue culture seedlings suitable for transplanting, wash the culture medium from the roots with clean water, and transplant the stained group (52 seedlings) and the control group (48 seedlings) into 11cm diameter pots with 12-13 individual seedlings per clump. The stained group had 4 pots and the control group had 3 pots each. The cultivation substrate was sphagnum moss. Figure 3 The planted Dendrobium officinale seedlings were then nurtured in a constant-temperature nursery under the same light and temperature conditions.

[0030] Identification of high-polysaccharide plants: Nine months after cultivation, the growth and agronomic traits of *Dendrobium officinale* seedlings in both the stained group and the control group were measured, including stem length, number of stem nodes, stem diameter, number of leaves, length of the terminal leaf, leaf width, root length, and weight per plant. The results are shown in Table 3. Four plants from each of the stained group and the control group were randomly selected. Figure 4 Take 0.1g of fresh leaves and use a kit to determine the soluble sugar content, glucose content, fructose content, sucrose content, as well as the activities of sucrose synthase (decomposition direction) and soluble acid invertase. The average value of the results for each group is taken. Results are shown in […]. Figure 5The soluble sugar content assay kit (catalog number G0501F), glucose content assay kit (catalog number G0535F), fructose content assay kit (catalog number G0505F), sucrose content assay kit (catalog number G0506F), sucrose synthase (decomposition direction) activity assay kit (colorimetric method, G0513F), and soluble acid invertase activity assay kit (colorimetric method, G0517F) were all purchased from Greens Biotechnology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.

[0034] Results analysis: From Table 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the stained group was significantly better than the control group in agronomic traits such as plant height, stem diameter, and single plant weight. Furthermore, from Figure 5 The results showed that the soluble sugar content, fructose content, glucose content, and soluble acid invertase activity in the stained group were 34.64%, 35.96%, 43.86%, and 22.55% higher than those in the control group, respectively, reaching a highly significant level.
