Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicinal plant tissue culture, and more particularly to a method for propagating Polygonatum multiflorum. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the propagation methods for Polygonatum cyrtonema mainly include asexual and sexual reproduction, namely rhizome propagation and seed propagation. However, seed propagation suffers from low germination rates and long seedling cycles. Therefore, in current artificial cultivation, asexual propagation mainly relies on rhizomes, but this method also has some drawbacks. For example, the large quantity of rhizomes used and the frequent microbial infection of wounds during germination can lead to rotting before new shoots emerge, resulting in significant economic losses. However, with in-depth research into the modern pharmacology of Polygonatum cyrtonema, it is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, further increasing market demand. Given this increasing market demand and the numerous seedling defects, the traditional Chinese medicinal herb cultivation industry faces significant challenges.

[0003] Plant somatic cells can undergo genetic reprogramming and differentiation into somatic embryos through somatic embryogenesis under the induction of exogenous plant growth regulators (PGRs). Regenerated plants obtained through this biological process offer numerous benefits, including a large number of plants, relatively stable genetic characteristics, and a low coefficient of variation. Currently, in terms of crop genetic improvement, somatic embryos are relatively more readily accepting of exogenous genes than other materials, a fact confirmed in numerous studies. To date, somatic embryos have been reported in in vitro regeneration studies of various plants; however, there are currently no reported cases of establishing a somatic embryogenesis system for *Polygonatum cyrtonema*. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problems in current Polygonatum multiflorum tissue culture, such as the large amount of rhizomes used and the frequent rotting of new shoots due to wound infection during the germination process. By using immature embryos as explants, a high-quality and efficient regeneration system is constructed, which uses somatic embryos for the propagation of Polygonatum multiflorum tissue culture seedlings.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a method for propagating Polygonatum multiflorum, the method comprising the steps of using the immature embryo of Polygonatum multiflorum as an explant, inducing somatic embryos by inducing callus tissue and somatic embryos, and germinating the somatic embryos into seedlings with roots.

[0006] In the above method, the embryo is an embryo that is 50 to 60 days after the end of the flowering period.

[0007] In the above method, the somatic embryo is a somatic embryo in the spherical embryo stage.

[0008] In the above method, the plant growth regulators in the culture medium used to induce callus are: 1.0 mg / L of 6-BA and 0.5 mg / L of 2,4-D.

[0009] In the above method, the induced callus is cultured in the dark at a temperature of 25±1℃ for 30 days.

[0010] In the above method, the plant growth regulators in the culture medium used for somatic embryo induction are: 1.0 mg / L of 6-BA and 1.0 mg / L of 2,4-D.

[0011] In the above method, the somatic embryo induction is carried out under dark conditions at a temperature of 25±1℃ for 30 days.

[0012] In the above method, the plant growth regulators in the culture medium used for somatic embryo germination are: 2.0 mg / L of 6-BA and 1.0 mg / L of NAA.

[0013] In the above method, the somatic embryos are cultured at a temperature of 25±1℃, a light intensity of 2000Lux, and a light duration of 14h / d, specifically for 40 days.

[0014] In the above method, the culture medium used for inducing callus, the culture medium used for inducing somatic embryos, and the culture medium used for germinating somatic embryos are all solid culture media obtained by adding sucrose, coagulant, and plant growth regulator to MS basic culture medium.

[0015] The above method further includes the following steps: after the seedlings with roots have been cultivated to strengthen their seedlings, they are hardened off and then transplanted.

[0016] In the above method, the plant growth regulators in the culture medium used for seedling cultivation are: 0.5 mg / L of IAA and 1.0 mg / L of IBA.

[0017] In the above method, the seedlings are cultured at a temperature of 25±1℃, a light intensity of 2000Lux, and a light duration of 14h / d, specifically for 20 days.

[0018] In the above method, the culture medium used for the seedling cultivation is a solid culture medium obtained by adding sucrose, a coagulant and a plant growth regulator to MS basic culture medium.

[0019] In the above methods, agar is used as the solidifying agent in all culture media.

[0020] In the above methods, the sucrose content in all culture media was 30 g / L, the agar content was 7 g / L, and the pH value of all culture media was 6.1 ± 0.1.

[0021] In the above method, the explants need to be disinfected.

[0022] The present invention also provides a composition for propagating Polygonatum multiflorum, the composition comprising the culture medium for inducing callus, the culture medium for inducing somatic embryos, the culture medium for somatic embryo germination, and the culture medium for cultivating seedlings.

[0023] This invention utilizes immature embryos of Polygonatum multiflorum as explants to construct a regeneration system for somatic embryos of Polygonatum multiflorum. The establishment of this system represents the first report of somatic embryogenesis, filling a technological gap and providing technical support for the commercial seedling cultivation and genetic improvement of Polygonatum multiflorum.

The pH was adjusted to 6.1 ± 0.1 using 1 mol / L NaOH or 1 mol / L HCl. The substrates were sterilized at 121°C for 20 minutes. All culture dishes used were disposable sterile dishes.

[0042] The culture media, plant hormones, and agar used in the following examples were all purchased from Solarbio Biotechnology Co., Ltd. A table showing the abbreviations and full names of the plant hormones used in the culture media is provided in Table 1.

[0045] The Polygonatum multiflorum samples in the following examples were collected from Tongxi Village, Xuefeng Town, Hongjiang City, Huaihua City, Hunan Province, on July 15, 2023.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] The specific method for tissue culture of Polygonatum multiflorum is as follows:

[0048] S1. Collect immature fruits within 50-60 days after flowering, disinfect, and remove the embryos.

[0049] S1-1. Collect immature fruits within 50-60 days after the end of the flowering period, rub them with 5% alkaline detergent (Libai dishwashing liquid) for 5 minutes, rinse with tap water to remove detergent residue, and drain the tap water remaining on the surface of the fruit under natural conditions.

[0050] S1-2 Disinfection: Transfer the fruit to a clean bench, disinfect with 75% alcohol for 30 seconds, rinse with sterile water 2-3 times, then disinfect with 0.1% HgCl2 for 30 minutes, and rinse with sterile water 4-5 times.

[0051] S1-3. After disinfection, separate the immature embryos from the fruit in a clean bench. Keep the separated immature embryos moist and inoculate them into callus induction medium within 30 minutes.

[0052] S2, callus induction

[0053] MS medium was used as the basal medium. Different concentrations of 6-BA (0.2 mg / L, 1.0 mg / L, 1.5 mg / L) and 2,4-D (0.5 mg / L, 1.0 mg / L, 1.5 mg / L) were added to this basal medium, and a two-factor, three-level orthogonal experiment was conducted. The concentrations of 6-BA and 2,4-D after addition are shown in Table 1. The callus induction medium with PGRs combination A-1 was used as an example (the callus induction medium for other PGRs combinations can be deduced similarly):

[0054] The callus induction medium for PGRs combination A-1 is based on MS basal medium, with 6-BA content of 0.2 mg / L, 2,4-D content of 0.5 mg / L, sucrose content of 30 g / L, and agar content of 7 g / L. The preparation method (taking 1L as an example) is as follows: Dissolve 4.74g of MS medium base salt (Solarbio product, Lot No. 104P031, Cat#M8526), ​​30g of sucrose and 7g of agar powder in water, and add 6-BA and 2,4-D. Add water to make up to 1L, so that the content of 6-BA in the callus induction medium with PGRs combination A-1 is 0.2mg / L and the content of 2,4-D is 0.5mg / L. Adjust the pH value to 6.1±0.1, autoclave at 116℃ for 30 minutes, and while still hot, dispense into disposable sterile culture dishes in a laminar flow hood. After cooling, the callus induction medium with PGRs combination A-1 is obtained.

[0055] The embryos obtained in step S1 were inoculated under aseptic conditions onto callus induction culture media containing the above 9 different combinations of PGRs.

[0056] Three replicates were set up, with five culture dishes for each PGR combination in each replicate, and nine immature embryos inoculated into each culture dish. The cultures were incubated in the dark at 25±1℃ for 30 days.

[0057] The total mass of callus and the callus induction rate were calculated 30 days after inoculation (total mass of callus and callus induction rate induced per replicate of 45 immature embryos for each culture medium).

[0058] Induction rate = Number of callus tissues / Number of explants

[0059] Table 1. Concentration of plant growth regulators (PGRs) in callus induction medium and their effects on total callus mass and callus induction rate.

[0061] Note: Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. The Waller-Duncan (W) a, b, c test was used to determine significance. Different letters after the data in the same column indicate that the difference reached a significant level (P<0.05).

[0062] The results are shown in Table 1. The induction rate of callus induction media with nine different PGRs combinations all reached 100%. Among them, the total weight of callus inoculated on the callus induction medium with PGR combination A-4 (i.e., MS basal medium as the base medium, with 6-BA content of 1.0 mg / L, 2,4-D content of 0.5 mg / L, sucrose content of 30 g / L, and agar content of 7 g / L) was the heaviest, significantly higher than that of callus induction media with other callus induction media, and the induction effect was the best.

[0063] See the photograph taken on day 0 when the immature embryos were inoculated onto callus induction medium with PGRs combination A-4. Figure 1 See the photograph taken 20 days after inoculation onto callus induction medium with PGRs combination A-4. Figure 2 The photograph shows the callus induction medium containing PGRs combination A-4 after 30 days. Figure 3 .

[0064] Callus tissue from callus induction medium with PGRs combination A-4 was selected for further experiments.

[0065] S3, somatic embryo induction

[0066] MS medium was used as the basal medium. Different concentrations of 6-BA (0.2 mg / L, 1.0 mg / L, 1.5 mg / L) and 2,4-D (1.0 mg / L, 1.5 mg / L, 2.0 mg / L) were added to this basal medium, and a two-factor, three-level orthogonal experiment was conducted. The concentrations of 6-BA and 2,4-D after addition are shown in Table 2. The somatic embryo induction medium with PGRs combination B-1 was used as an example (the somatic embryo induction medium for other PGRs combinations follows the same principle):

[0067] The somatic embryo induction medium for PGRs combination B-1 is based on MS basal medium, with 6-BA content of 0.2 mg / L, 2,4-D content of 1.0 mg / L, sucrose content of 30 g / L, and agar content of 7 g / L. The preparation method (taking 1L as an example) is as follows: Dissolve 4.74g of MS medium base salt (Solarbio product, Lot No. 104P031, Cat#M8526), ​​30g of sucrose and 7g of agar powder in water, and add 6-BA and 2,4-D. Add water to make up to 1L, so that the content of 6-BA in the somatic embryo induction medium with PGRs combination B-1 is 0.2mg / L and the content of 2,4-D is 1.0mg / L. Adjust the pH value to 6.1±0.1, autoclave at 116℃ for 30 minutes, and while still hot, dispense into disposable sterile culture dishes in a laminar flow hood. After cooling, the somatic embryo induction medium with PGRs combination B-1 is obtained.

[0068] The callus tissue obtained in step S2, which is a combination of PGRs A-4, was inoculated under aseptic conditions onto somatic embryo induction media of the above 9 different combinations of PGRs.

[0069] Three replicates were set up, with 45 culture dishes of somatic embryo induction medium for each PGR combination in each replicate, and one callus tissue was inoculated in each culture dish. The cultures were incubated in the dark at 25±1℃ for 30 days.

[0070] Under a microscope, callus tissue (see) Figure 4 Somatic embryos on ) grow over time, according to the spherical embryo (see Figure 5 — Heart-shaped embryo (see) Figure 6 — Torpedo-shaped embryo (see) Figure 7 — Cotyledonous embryo (see) Figure 8 Following the regular developmental pattern, somatic embryos were obtained at different developmental stages, resulting in somatic embryo-callus chimeras. On day 30 after inoculation, the somatic embryo induction rate was calculated. Since the globular embryo is the earliest somatic embryo, the somatic embryo induction rate was calculated based on the globular embryo induction rate.

[0071] Somatic embryo induction rate = Material containing spherical embryos / Number of callus tissues.

[0074] Note: Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. The Waller-Duncan (W) a, b, c test was used to determine significance. Different letters after the data in the same column indicate that the difference reached a significant level (P<0.05).

[0075] The results are shown in Table 2. Among the nine different PGRs combinations in the somatic embryo induction medium, the somatic embryo induction rate inoculated on the PGRs combination B-4 (i.e., the medium with MS basal medium as the base medium, 6-BA content of 1.0 mg / L, 2,4-D content of 1.0 mg / L, sucrose content of 30 g / L, and agar content of 7 g / L) was 97.78% ± 3.85%, which was significantly better than other somatic embryo induction media.

[0076] Callus tissue containing somatic embryos was selected from somatic embryo induction medium with PGRs combination B-4 for further experiments.

[0077] S4, somatic embryo germination

[0078] S4.1 Preliminary Experiment of Somatic Embryo Germination

[0079] MS medium was used as the basal medium, and different concentrations of 6-BA (2.0 mg / L, 3.0 mg / L, 4.0 mg / L) and NAA (0.2 mg / L, 0.5 mg / L, 1.0 mg / L) were added to this basal medium for a two-factor, three-level orthogonal experiment. The concentrations of 6-BA and NAA after addition are shown in Table 3. The somatic embryo germination medium with PGRs combination C-1 was used as an example (the somatic embryo germination medium for other PGRs combinations follows the same principle):

[0080] The somatic embryo germination medium for PGRs combination C-1 is based on MS basal medium, with 6-BA content of 2.0 mg / L, NAA content of 0.2 mg / L, sucrose content of 30 g / L, and agar content of 7 g / L. The preparation method (taking 1L as an example) is as follows: Dissolve 4.74g of MS medium base salt (Solarbio product, Lot No. 104P031, Cat#M8526), ​​30g of sucrose and 7g of agar powder in water, and add 6-BA and NAA. Add water to make up to 1L, so that the content of 6-BA in the somatic embryo germination medium with PGRs combination C-1 is 2.0mg / L and the content of NAA is 0.2mg / L. Adjust the pH value to 6.1±0.1, autoclave at 116℃ for 30 minutes, and while still hot, dispense into disposable sterile culture dishes in a laminar flow hood. After cooling, the somatic embryo germination medium with PGRs combination C-1 is obtained.

[0081] The somatic embryo-callus chimera obtained in step S3, which is a combination of PGRs B-4, was inoculated under aseptic conditions onto somatic embryo germination media of the above 9 different combinations of PGRs.

[0082] Three replicates were set up, with 30 culture dishes per replicate for each PGR combination, and one somatic embryo-callus chimera inoculated into each dish. The chimeras were cultured for 30 days at 25±1℃, light intensity of 2000 Lux, and a photoperiod of 14 h / d. At this time, the abnormal phenomenon of leaf-only germination was observed in the somatic embryos of the somatic embryo-callus chimeras (see...). Figure 9 ) and the normal phenomenon of simultaneous occurrence of root and leaf (see Figure 10 ), abnormal germination rate (normal germination rate = number of leaves only / 30) and normal germination rate (abnormal germination rate = number of roots and leaves occurring simultaneously / 30).

[0083] Table 3. Concentration of plant growth regulators (PGRs) in somatic embryo germination medium and their effects on leaf emergence rate and root-leaf synchronous emergence rate.

[0084]

[0085] Note: Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. The Waller-Duncan (W) a, b, c test was used to determine significance. Different letters after the data in the same column indicate that the difference reached a significant level (P<0.05).

[0086] The results are shown in Table 3. Among the nine different PGRs combinations of somatic embryo germination media, the normal germination rate (normal phenomenon) of somatic embryo-callus chimeras inoculated on the somatic embryo germination medium with PGR combination C-4 (i.e., a medium with MS basal medium as the base medium, 6-BA content of 2.0 mg / L, NAA content of 1.0 mg / L, sucrose content of 30 g / L, and agar content of 7 g / L) was significantly higher than that of other somatic embryo germination media, reaching 73.33% ± 6.67%, while the abnormal germination rate (abnormal phenomenon) on it was only 26.67% ± 6.67%.

[0087] S4.2 Somatic Embryo Germination

[0088] The somatic embryo germination medium selected in this invention is the somatic embryo germination medium with PGR combination C-3 (i.e., the medium based on MS basal medium, with 6-BA content of 2.0 mg / L, NAA content of 1.0 mg / L, sucrose content of 30 g / L, and agar content of 7 g / L). The preparation method (taking 1L as an example) is as follows: Dissolve 4.74g of MS medium base salt (Solarbio product, Lot No. 104P031, Cat#M8526), ​​30g of sucrose and 7g of agar powder in water, and add 6-BA and NAA. Add water to make up to 1L, so that the content of 6-BA in the somatic embryo germination medium with PGRs combination C-3 is 2.0mg / L and the content of NAA is 1.0mg / L. Adjust the pH value to 6.1±0.1, autoclave at 116℃ for 30 minutes, and while still hot, dispense into disposable sterile culture dishes in a laminar flow hood. After cooling, the somatic embryo germination medium with PGRs combination C-3 is obtained.

[0089] A blank control was prepared by adding sugar source (sucrose) and solidifying agent (agar powder) to MS basal medium without plant growth regulators (PGRs). The preparation method (taking 1L as an example) is as follows: Dissolve 4.74g of MS medium basal salt (Solarbio product, Lot No. 104P031, Cat#M8526), ​​30g of sucrose, and 7g of agar powder in water, adjust the pH to 6.1±0.1, autoclave at 116℃ for 30 minutes, and while still hot, dispense into disposable sterile petri dishes in a laminar flow hood. After cooling, the blank control medium is obtained.

[0090] Set up 3 replicates, with 3 culture dishes of somatic embryo germination medium or blank control medium with PGR combination C-3 for each replicate. 10 spherical embryos (spherical embryos excised from somatic embryo-callus chimeras on somatic embryo induction medium with PGR combination B-4 obtained in step S3) were inoculated in each culture dish.

[0091] The cells were cultured at a temperature of 25±1℃, a light intensity of 2000 Lux, and a photoperiod of 14 h / d. Photos after one week of culture are shown below. Figure 11 On day 20 post-inoculation, incomplete root and leaf structures began to appear, along with miniature rhizomes (see photos). Figure 12 On day 40 of cultivation, the seedlings developed; see photo. Figure 13 Germination rate was calculated on day 30 after inoculation, and the results are shown below. Figure 14The normal germination rate of globular embryos on somatic embryo germination medium with PGRs combination C-3 was 82.22% (germination rate = number of simultaneous root and leaf occurrences / 30), which was significantly higher than the germination rate on blank control medium (31.11%).

[0092] S5. Strong seedlings and transplanting

[0093] MS basal medium was used as the basal medium, with IAA content of 0.5 mg / L, IBA content of 1.0 mg / L, sucrose content of 30 g / L, and agar content of 7 g / L as the seedling strengthening medium of the present invention. The preparation method (taking 1L as an example) is as follows: Dissolve 4.74g of MS medium base salt (Solarbio product, Lot No. 104P031, Cat#M8526), ​​30g of sucrose and 7g of agar powder in water, add IBA, adjust the pH to 6.1±0.1, add water to make up to 1L, so that the IBA content in the seedling culture medium is 1.0mg / L, put it into a 1L screw-top reagent bottle, autoclave at 116℃ for 30 minutes. After sterilization, let it cool for 40 minutes, add sterile IAA in a clean bench, mix well, so that the IAA content in the seedling culture medium is 0.5mg / L, dispense into sterile culture bottles to obtain the seedling culture medium.

[0094] Each culture flask was inoculated with one seedling with roots obtained from the PGRs combination obtained in S4 after 40 days of somatic embryo culture on C-3 somatic embryo germination medium. A total of 30 seedlings were inoculated.

[0095] Seedlings were cultured for 20 days under conditions of 25±1℃, 2000 Lux light intensity, and 14 h / d photoperiod. Photos of the seedlings after 20 days are shown below. Figure 15 After cultivation, the culture bottles were opened in the culture room for a 3-day acclimatization period (i.e., hardening off). Then, the seedlings were removed and the culture medium was washed off with ddH2O. To prevent dehydration, each seedling was left with only one leaf before being transplanted into a seedling substrate with a nutrient soil:perl salt ratio of 3:1 (v / v). One month after transplanting, 28 out of 30 seedlings survived, a survival rate of 93.33%.
