Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of plant breeding, and particularly relates to a standardized propagation method for wild chrysanthemum. Background Art

[0002] Wild chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum indicum L.) is a variety included in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2020 Edition). In the "Collected Annotations on Herbal Medicine" written by Tao Hongjing in the Liang Dynasty of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was named "bitter coix seed". It is picked when the flowers first bloom in autumn and winter. The dried product is spherical, with a diameter of 0.3 - 1 cm and is brownish-yellow. The involucre consists of 4 - 5 layers of bracts. The ligulate flowers are in 1 row, yellow to brownish-yellow; there are many tubular flowers, which are dark yellow. This medicinal material is light in weight, fragrant in smell, and bitter in taste. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, purging fire and calming the liver, and is used for symptoms such as furuncles and carbuncles, red and swollen eyes, headache and dizziness.

[0003] The marker for evaluating the quality of wild chrysanthemum is luteolin-7-O-β-D-rutinoside, which is an active flavonoid glycoside compound. It exists in wild chrysanthemum, buddleja officinalis, mint, and buddleja lindleyana, and is easily soluble in methanol. Luteolin-7-O-β-D-rutinoside is mainly derived from wild chrysanthemum, and the content of luteolin-7-O-β-D-rutinoside in wild chrysanthemum in the Dabie Mountain area at the junction of Anhui, Henan, and Hubei provinces is relatively high. Luteolin-7-O-β-D-rutinoside can reduce the production of inflammatory factors by inhibiting the activities of NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinases, and at the same time can inhibit inflammasomes. Therefore, it exhibits strong anti-inflammatory activity.

[0004] 1.1 Morphological Characteristics

[0005] Wild chrysanthemum is a perennial herb, 0.25 - 1.00 m tall, with long or short underground stolons. The stem is erect or spreading, branched or only branched in a corymbiform manner at the top of the stem. The leaves are ovate, oblong-ovate or elliptic-ovate, 5 - 10 cm long and 2 - 7 cm wide, pinnatifid, shallowly lobed or with indistinct lobing and serrate margins. The capitulum is 1.2 - 2.3 cm in diameter, and most of them are arranged in a loose corymbose-paniculate inflorescence at the top of the stem branches or a few are arranged in a corymbiform inflorescence at the top of the stem.

[0006] 1.2 Growth Phenology

[0007] Overwintering as a perennial rhizome, the rhizomes continue to develop underground, often serving as winter food for wild boars. In March and April, when the temperature stabilizes above 10℃, the stem nodes distributed around the rhizomes begin to sprout, and with the proliferation of basal buds, numerous fibrous roots grow densely at the base. Initially, the basal buds grow slowly, but growth accelerates after the seedlings reach 10cm in height, and branching begins after the seedlings reach 50cm in height. When daylight hours are shorter than 13.5 hours, nighttime temperatures drop to 15℃, and the diurnal temperature range is greater than 10℃, the plant begins to transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, i.e., flower bud differentiation begins. At this time, the plant stops growing taller and branching. In late September, when daylight hours are shorter than 12.5 hours and nighttime temperatures drop to around 12℃, flower buds begin to form. At this time, the flower organs enter a period of vigorous growth, requiring phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. It enters its peak bloom from mid-to-late October to mid-November, with a flowering period of 28-43 days. The flower heads have a flowering period of 14-21 days, with the initial flowering period of 5-7 days. The flowers bloom sequentially from top to bottom; each flower branch also opens from the tip of the branch downwards.

[0008] 1.3 Ecological conditions of the core production area

[0009] The core production area is the Dabie Mountains, located at the junction of Anhui, Hubei, and Henan provinces in my country, between 30°10′ and 32°30′ north latitude and 112°40′ and 117°10′ east longitude, with an altitude of 300-1500 meters. It belongs to the warm and humid subtropical monsoon climate zone, with an average annual temperature of 14-17.5℃, average annual precipitation of 800-1600 mm, average relative humidity of 70-80%, and average annual sunshine hours of 1400-1600 hours. Wild chrysanthemums require 150-180 days to complete their growth cycle, during which they need 1200-1800 hours of sunlight, 4500-5000℃ of accumulated temperature, and over 800 mm of precipitation. Therefore, the Dabie Mountains are the most suitable cultivation area for wild chrysanthemums. This mainly includes Shucheng, Huoshan, and Jinzhai in Lu'an City, Anhui Province; Xixian, Huangchuan, Luoshan, Shangcheng, Xinxian, and Guangshan in Xinyang City, Henan Province; Hong'an, Macheng, Luotian, Yingshan, and Tuanfeng in Huanggang City, Hubei Province; Guangshui in Suizhou City; and Dawu and Anlu in Xiaogan City.

[0010] 1.4 Breeding Techniques

[0011] (1) Seed propagation: Wild chrysanthemum seeds are small achenes with 5 longitudinal stripes, narrow at the base, 1.5-1.8 mm long, and black or grayish-brown on the surface. The weight of 1000 seeds is about 0.12-0.3 g, with about 4 million seeds per kilogram. The moisture content should be less than 10%. The seeds should be stored at low temperature in winter. Before sowing, the seeds should be treated with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride to reduce the red color to more than 85%. Generally, the seeds are soaked in warm water at 20-28℃ for 12 hours, with the water changed once in between. After soaking in warm water, the seeds are mixed with auxiliary materials before sowing.

[0012] (2) Division propagation: In a plot of land with convenient transportation, select a patch of healthy wild chrysanthemum mother plants in the summer and autumn of the previous year, clear away the surrounding weeds, and after the temperature drops in October, harvest the flower buds and apply sufficient organic fertilizer to prepare for the growth of more and better basal shoots in the following year; in mid-April of the same year, dig out the entire clump of mother plants, cut them from the root neck with a blade, apply wood ash or soak them in aloe vera juice on the wounds, and plant them; if the labor capacity allows and the cultivation quality requirements are high, the container seedlings can be propagated by cuttings, which will take about 20 days to root and be transplanted before mid-May.

[0013] However, the above-mentioned methods of propagating wild chrysanthemum by division result in a very low germination rate when cultivated on a large scale. Summary of the Invention

[0055] IV. Seed Harvesting and Storage. Harvesting Time: Wild chrysanthemum seeds are harvested in early November. The color of the ray florets of the inflorescence is detected using a YS3060 3nh grating spectrophotometer. The content of florets and the quality of the inflorescence are determined based on the correlation between shape and color. The optimal harvesting period is when the flower diameter is 1.18-1.55cm, the diameter of the tubular flower disc is 0.66-0.93cm, the average number of flowers per plant is more than 1400, and the weight of 100 dried flowers is more than 0.9g. The inflorescences are harvested, threshed, and impurities are removed to obtain the target seeds.

[0056] S3. "Water-soluble incubation" for sowing, specifically including the following steps:

[0057] i. Select deciduous broad-leaved forests with a canopy closure of 0.3-0.5, such as soapberry, sweetgum, or disease-free economic forests like camellia, chestnut, and cassia, to facilitate lateral shading. In early March, prepare the planting plots. Mix the target seeds obtained from S2 with twice the volume of methyl anthranilate powder and let stand for 12 hours. Then, mix them with well-rotted sawdust, vermiculite with a particle size of 2mm, cork tree powder, water-retaining agent, and bird repellent powder. The bird repellent powder is methyl anthranilate powder, which uses its special odor to repel birds that peck at the wild chrysanthemum seeds. The volume ratio is wild chrysanthemum seeds: sawdust: vermiculite: cork tree powder: methyl anthranilate powder: water-retaining agent = 0.55:57.26:38.13:3.00:1.10:0.96. Finally, use a hand-cranked seeder to broadcast the seeds in the prepared plots.

[0058] The specific preparation steps of the water-retaining agent are as follows:

[0059] 1) Preparation of konjac glucomannan with a purity of over 95%, abbreviated as KGM: Weigh konjac powder and dissolve it in deionized water, konjac powder:deionized water = 1g:100mL; temperature 60℃, pH = 5.3, stir continuously for 70min, and let it stand to swell for 78min. Add 95% ethanol at a stirring speed of 1200rpm / min until the ethanol volume concentration in the system reaches 45%, continue stirring for 1.5h, centrifuge to remove the supernatant, and collect the precipitate. Add deionized water to the collected precipitate, with a precipitate:deionized water ratio of 1 g:100 mL; stir at room temperature for 12 h, then centrifuge to collect the supernatant; repeat the extraction once in the same way, and combine the two supernatants; concentrate the combined supernatant to 40% volume, cool to room temperature, and add 95% ethanol at a stirring speed of 1600 rpm / min until the ethanol concentration of the system reaches 80%, continue stirring for 1.5-2.5 h, centrifuge to remove the supernatant, add deionized water to the precipitate until the precipitate dissolves, and stir at room temperature for 12 h; vacuum concentrate to remove ethanol, dilute and rotary evaporate the concentrated liquid, repeating twice to obtain konjac glucomannan with a purity of over 95%.

[0060] 2) Preparation of monomer aqueous solution: Acrylic acid was neutralized in an ice-water bath with 0.25 g / ml sodium hydroxide solution to prepare an acrylic acid aqueous solution with a neutralization degree of 80%; acrylamide was dissolved in deionized water to prepare an acrylamide solution with a concentration of 18%.

[0061] 3) Dissolve and prepare aqueous solutions of potassium persulfate (initiator) at a concentration of 10 mg / ml and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (crosslinking agent) at a concentration of 1 mg / ml in deionized water for later use.

[0062] 4) Preparation of water-retaining agent:

[0063] a. Add KGM with a purity of 95% or higher to the reactor, add deionized water, and purge with nitrogen in a 40°C water bath to remove oxygen while stirring. Allow it to swell for 60 minutes to obtain gelatinized KGM, wherein KGM:water = 1g:200mL.

[0064] b. Add deionized water to the gelatinized KGM, add potassium persulfate solution while stirring under nitrogen, add potassium persulfate initiator and pre-oxidize KGM for 6 min, wherein KGM:potassium persulfate:deionized water = 1g:1 / 300g:200mL.

[0065] c. Heat to 60℃, add an 80% neutralized acrylic acid aqueous solution, an 18% acrylamide aqueous solution, and a crosslinking agent, N,N,-methylenebisacrylamide, at a concentration of 0.058% of the sum of the mass of the acrylic acid aqueous solution and the acrylamide aqueous solution. React for 185 min under nitrogen protection. The mass ratio of konjac glucomannan:acrylic acid:acrylamide is 0.8:2.5:1.

[0066] d. After the reaction is complete, stop the nitrogen flow, heating, and stirring, and cool to room temperature. Add 7 times the volume of 95% ethanol solution to the product to form a precipitate. Continue adding 95% ethanol solution until precipitation is complete. Wash the precipitate with anhydrous ethanol.

[0067] e. Filter the sample and vacuum dry the precipitate to constant weight at 50°C to obtain the water-retaining agent of the grafted polymer.

[0068] ii. According to the weather forecast, use a hand-cranked seeder to sow seeds backwards before the rain, so as to evenly cover the sown plots. This sowing method is well-suited for remote plots without irrigation, as well as for steep slopes, sparse woodlands, shrublands, streamsides, and scattered abandoned land with poor site conditions that are difficult for large machinery to reach.

[0069] iii. After rain, a 1 cm thick hydrogel layer forms on the soil surface of the sowing plot, which is used as an incubation film for wild chrysanthemum seeds. The seeds germinate after 3-4 weeks and begin to unfold leaves after 5 weeks.

[0070] S4. Ecological cultivation, specifically including the following steps:

[0071] ① When the wild chrysanthemum seedlings reach a height of 10cm, thinning and transplanting should be carried out simultaneously, with a final plant spacing of 30×20cm. Weed once each in May and June. During the vigorous vegetative growth season in May, June, and July, apply nitrogen fertilizer three times, with soil fertilization in May and foliar fertilization in June and July. Each time, spray 1.5 tons of aqueous solution per mu, containing 3 kg of nitrogen fertilizer. Apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer twice in August and September, each time spraying 1.5 tons of aqueous solution per mu, containing 4 kg of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

[0072] ② Pinching: Pinching should be done in mid-May and late June. Each application must be carried out on a sunny, rainless day. After each topping, spray with prochloraz·ethoxysulfuron, i.e., 35% emulsifiable concentrate, at a rate of 60 ml / mu, with a volume ratio of prochloraz:ethoxysulfuron = 1:1200.

[0073] ③ Check the crown shape of the wild chrysanthemum plants in the field. If the branches are too long and there are few branches, you can pinch off the tips to ensure that each plant has about 30 branches. Stop pinching off the tips after July.

[0074] S5. Harvesting, which includes the following steps:

[0075] From late October to late November, when 70% of the ray florets of the wild chrysanthemums have opened, harvesting begins on sunny days when the dew has dissipated. The first flush of flowers is harvested when the ray florets of the flower heads are fully open and 50% of the tubular florets in the center have opened. The quantitative determination method involves using a 3nh YD5050 grating spectrophotometer with a 2mm aperture to measure the light and dark chromaticity values ​​L*, red-green chromaticity values ​​a*, and yellow-blue chromaticity values ​​b*, and then converting these values ​​into a total chromaticity value. In this invention, b* is 28-40. The harvesting range is 80-96%. A handheld paddle-type harvester is used. A second crop is harvested one week later, also using a handheld paddle-type harvester. See [link to details]. Figure 3 Harvest the flowers one week later; then use a drag-along pry bar harvester to harvest all the flowers. The total width of the pry bar is 50cm, the height from the ground is adjustable from 30-90cm, and the angle of elevation is 16°. Requirements: flower removal rate higher than 96.0%, flower fall rate lower than 1.0%, and flower breakage rate lower than 0.5%.
