Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of plant tissue culture technology, and more particularly, to a method for regenerating Hydrangea paniculata plants using leaves as explants. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hydrangea paniculata Sieb. is a deciduous shrub or small tree of the genus Hydrangea in the family Hydrangeaceae, which is native to China. It has a large plant size, high flower yield, long flowering period, strong adaptability, and high ornamental value. It has been widely used in gardens and landscaping in Europe, the United States, and Japan. In addition, the whole plant of Hydrangea paniculata contains mucilage, which can be used as a paste, and has the effects of clearing heat, resisting malaria, and preventing diabetic nephropathy. After the peak flowering period in autumn, the color of Hydrangea paniculata flowers gradually changes from green to bronze, and the spent branches remain on the tree for a long time. It can be used for pot culture and planted in gardens, parks, and green spaces. It is an important ornamental plant in gardens, and the demand for seedlings is large. However, the propagation of Hydrangea paniculata mainly relies on cutting, layering, and division, which is limited by the growing season and propagation material, and is also time-consuming, labor-intensive, and low in propagation efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for propagating Hydrangea paniculata that is not limited by environmental conditions and seasons.

[0003] Plant somatic embryogenesis is a process in which somatic cells of a plant develop into new individuals under in vitro conditions through a similar developmental pathway to zygotic embryos. The establishment of a somatic embryogenesis pathway regeneration system can help to accelerate the propagation of Hydrangea paniculata test-tube seedlings, produce and store artificial seeds, and use embryonic cells as the best recipients for genetic transformation of Hydrangea paniculata.

[0004] According to the applicant's search, different Hydrangea paniculata varieties, explants, and experimental methods have been applied to the study of Hydrangea paniculata regeneration systems. The results show that it is difficult to find a universal method for establishing a Hydrangea paniculata regeneration system due to genotype limitations. Currently, there is no report on the somatic embryogenesis of Hydrangea paniculata 'Shihui Deng'.

[0005] To solve the above problems, a technical solution is provided. SUMMARY

[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, embodiments of the present application provide a method for regenerating Hydrangea paniculata plants using leaves as explants to solve the problems raised in the background art.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, in step S2, the somatic embryos are inoculated into a somatic embryo subculture medium for long-term subculture and maintaining the differentiation ability.

[0017] The method for regenerating plants of Hydrangea paniculata by using leaves as explants has the following technical effects and advantages:

[0018] 1. The method uses leaves of Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' tissue culture seedlings as explants, induces somatic embryo occurrence, and maintains the characteristics of continuous proliferation and seedling formation of the somatic embryos, which provides good recipients for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of Hydrangea paniculata and lays a certain technical foundation for preparing new transgenic Hydrangea paniculata varieties.

[0031] Table 1 Composition and amount of various culture media

[0032]

[0033] Note: The MS basic medium is prepared according to Murashige T. and F. Skoog, 1962. The 1 / 2MS basic medium is the MS basic medium with half of the macroelements, half of the microelements and half of the Fe salts.

[0034] The somatic embryo subculture medium in Table 1 is used as a general subculture medium and also as a long-term subculture medium for somatic embryos.

[0035] The codes of the components in the medium are as follows: 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 6-benzyladenine (6-BA), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), kinetin (KT), plant gel (GEL), and agar powder (Agar) can be purchased commercially.

[0036] 3. Culture conditions:

[0037] The culture temperature in the culture room is 24±2°C, the light intensity is 1000-1500 lx, and the light cycle is 14 h. The dark culture temperature is 24±2°C.

[0038] 4. Inoculation and culture:

[0039] The upper leaves of the aseptic seedlings of Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' were inoculated on the induction medium (see Table 1) on a clean bench, 9 explants were inoculated in each culture dish, and the culture was performed in the dark. After 8 weeks, callus was produced at the edges of the leaves (see Fig. 2), and then somatic embryos were produced (see Fig. 3). Some explants turned brown and died, and somatic embryos were not induced. Figure 1 Figure 2 The somatic embryos obtained by induction were inoculated on the somatic embryo proliferation medium (see Table 1), and the culture was performed under light. These somatic embryos could proliferate rapidly on the somatic embryo proliferation medium (see Fig. 4). The somatic embryos obtained by induction were inoculated on the somatic embryo subculture medium (see Table 1), and the somatic embryos could be stored for a long time. The secondary somatic embryos were inoculated on the somatic embryo germination medium (see Table 1), and the somatic embryos could germinate into seedlings (see Fig. 5).

[0040] The somatic embryos obtained by induction were inoculated on the somatic embryo proliferation medium (see Table 1), and the culture was performed under light. These somatic embryos could proliferate rapidly on the somatic embryo proliferation medium (see Fig. 4). The somatic embryos obtained by induction were inoculated on the somatic embryo subculture medium (see Table 1), and the somatic embryos could be stored for a long time. The secondary somatic embryos were inoculated on the somatic embryo germination medium (see Table 1), and the somatic embryos could germinate into seedlings (see Fig. 5). Figure 3 Figure 5
