Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of plant tissue culture, and particularly relates to a Dendrobium officinale protocorm differentiation inhibition and rapid propagation method. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
[0002] Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo belongs to the perennial herbaceous plant of Orchidaceae Dendrobium, and is a precious Chinese medicinal material. As a traditional precious Chinese medicine with the same origin of food and medicine, it was listed as "the top product" in the Shennong Herbal Classic, and has the effects of "tonifying five zang organs, strengthening yin, nourishing the stomach and intestines, and prolonging life". Due to its rich active ingredients such as polysaccharides, alkaloids and amino acids, it has various pharmacological effects such as antioxidant, anti-fatigue, anti-tumor, hypoglycemic and immune enhancement, and is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, health food and functional food fields, and the market demand is increasing year by year.
[0003] Wild Dendrobium officinale grows slowly under natural conditions, and the natural seed germination rate is less than 5%. Wild resources are extremely scarce, and have been listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and included in the national key protected wild plant list in China, which is strictly protected. This makes artificial cultivation become the main way to meet market demand.
[0004] Artificial propagation of Dendrobium officinale is mainly obtained by tissue culture technology, combined with greenhouse facilities and mountain resources, and large-scale planting is carried out by simulating wild environment. This method promotes the rapid development of Dendrobium industry, but it takes 3-5 years from planting to harvesting, the planting cycle is long, the economic benefit is slow to realize, and the development of the industry is restricted.
[0005] Dendrobium protocorm is an embryonic tissue generated in in vitro culture, which has the same genetic background and pharmacological active ingredients as the plant source. Studies have shown that the polysaccharides and total amino acids contained in Dendrobium officinale protocorm are equivalent to those in wild Dendrobium officinale stems, and experimental results have confirmed that the polysaccharides extracted from protocorm have good antioxidant and anti-tumor effects. According to the Announcement on 23 kinds of "three new foods" such as Dendrobium protocorm issued in 2024, in vitro cultured Dendrobium protocorm can be used as a new type of food raw material, which further promotes the industrialization development.
[0006] At present, the research on Dendrobium candidum protocorms is mostly focused on seedling propagation, and the proliferation rate is improved by adding exogenous hormones. On the one hand, the protocorms are prone to differentiation during growth, and on the other hand, the hormones may cause residues or exceed the standard, which may pose a safety hazard. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to develop a hormone-free culture method that can inhibit protocorm differentiation and promote rapid propagation, and promote the efficient, low-cost, green and safe production of protocorms. This not only helps to improve the sustainable development of the Dendrobium industry, but also promotes its wide application in the fields of medicine, health care, cosmetics and food. SUMMARY

[0031] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific examples. The features and advantages of the present application will become more apparent with the description, but the exemplary examples are only used to illustrate the present application and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of the present application.
[0032] EMBODIMENT
[0033] 1. The Dendrobium candidum "Mulongshan No. 3" selected by the company was used as the seed source, and the fruit capsules were picked in October and November, washed with clean water to remove the surface dust, and transferred to a clean bench. The container used for washing was soaked in 75% ethanol in advance, the fruit capsules were placed in a beaker, and 75% ethanol was poured to completely soak the fruit capsules. During the process, the beaker was shaken constantly to ensure that the fruit capsules were fully contacted. After 30 seconds of disinfection, the fruit capsules were washed with sterile water for 3 times, and then 250 mg / L chlorine dioxide solution was poured to completely immerse the fruit capsules. During the process, the beaker was shaken constantly. After 25 minutes of disinfection, the fruit capsules were washed with sterile water for 3-5 times, and then dried. The top end of the fruit capsules was cut off with a sterile scalpel, and the powdery seeds were evenly scattered in the seed germination culture medium. A portion of the seeds were dropped into 1% TTC solution for detection of viability. The test was repeated for 3 times or more, the seed survival rate reached 100%, and the contamination rate was 0.
[0034] 2. The induction of Dendrobium protocorms, the induction medium is based on MS or 1 / 2MS medium, adding peptone or potato mash, adding 30 g / L white sugar and 5 g / L agar powder, pH value is adjusted to 5.8-6.0, high pressure 121℃ sterilization for 20 min after dispensing, ready for use.
[0035] In a sterile operating table, the sterilized fruit pod is cut off with a sterile scalpel, and the powdery seeds are leaked out. The seeds are evenly sown in the protocorm induction medium with sterile tweezers. The Dendrobium candidum seeds turn green about 10 days after sowing, and the protocorms are obtained after 45-60 days of culture. Figure 1 The growth conditions of Dendrobium candidum seeds sown in the induction medium for 45 days, and the germination conditions of seeds in different media are shown in Table 1.
[0036] Table 1 Growth conditions of protocorms induced by seeds in different media
[0037]
[0038] The induction medium selected in the present application is based on MS medium, adding 1 g / L peptone, 30 g / L white sugar and 5 g / L agar powder, which can induce protocorms with large and full individuals.
[0039] In order to further explore the effect of medium pH on the germination of Dendrobium candidum seeds, S2-4 medium was used, and pH value was used as a research variable, two groups were set: one group was adjusted to 5.4-5.6, and the other group was adjusted to 5.8-6.0. The experiment lasted for 60 days, and the differentiation of protocorms was observed. According to Figure 2 (In order to more clearly show the seed germination, the right picture of each treatment group is the shooting effect after the material is taken out of the bottle), the results show that as the culture time is prolonged to 60d, the protocorms in the medium with pH value of 5.8-6.0 appear differentiation, and the differentiation rate is 22.5%, and the medium with pH value of 5.4-5.6 further inhibits the differentiation of protocorms, and the differentiation rate is 0.01%.
[0040] 3. Domestication of Dendrobium protocorms, select protocorms with large and full individuals, inoculate into domestication medium, the purpose is to improve the culture environment, adjust the endogenous hormone level of plants, and achieve the effect of inhibiting the differentiation of protocorms. The domestication medium is based on MS basic medium, adding 30 g / L white sugar, and adding 5 g / L agar powder for solid medium, adjusting the pH value to 5.8-6.0, high pressure 121℃ sterilization for 20 min after dispensing, ready for use.
[0041] In the experimental design, the culture mode is taken as the research variable, and a control group and a treatment group 1 are set. The control group is first cultured in solid medium for 30 days, and then transferred to solid medium for 30 days. The treatment group 1 is first cultured in liquid medium for 30 days, and then transferred to solid medium for 30 days. The experimental results are shown in Figure 2 The protocorm differentiation rate of the control group is 85%, while the differentiation rate of the treatment group 1 is reduced to 11.1%, indicating that liquid culture significantly inhibits the differentiation of protocorms.
[0042] However, it is found in the experiment that when the protocorms are transferred from the liquid medium to the solid medium, browning and death phenomenon occurs, and the survival rate is only 72.9%. This phenomenon may be due to the fact that the protocorms are transferred from a humid liquid environment to a relatively dry solid environment, or due to the increase in osmotic pressure of the medium, resulting in damage to the cell membrane. In order to improve the survival rate of protocorms removed from the liquid medium, the formula of the liquid medium is further improved, aiming to enhance the stress resistance of protocorms during liquid culture.
[0043] In the improved treatment group 2, 1 μM salicylic acid is added to the liquid medium, and the growth condition after 30 days of solid culture is shown in Figure 2 The survival rate of protocorms is increased to more than 99%. The results show that liquid culture combined with salicylic acid treatment can effectively improve the survival rate of protocorms and significantly inhibit the differentiation of protocorms.
[0044] 4. Protocorm proliferation: select vigorous and undifferentiated protocorms and inoculate them into protocorm proliferation medium for 30-60 days for harvesting. After the preparation of the proliferation medium, the pH value is adjusted to 5.8-6.0, and the medium is sterilized at 121°C for 20 minutes under high pressure after being divided into small portions, and is ready for use.
[0045] During the proliferation culture process, the effects of the proportion of macroelements and microelements in the basic medium on protocorm proliferation are compared, and MS and 1 / 2MS are used as the basic medium, respectively, and 30 g / L sucrose and 5 g / L agar powder are added, and the protocorms of Dendrobium officinale are inoculated, and the proliferation rate and growth state of the protocorms are recorded during the culture process, as shown in Figure 3 After 45 days of culture, the protocorms in the MS medium have a proliferation rate of 5.4 times, and the protocorms in the 1 / 2MS medium have a proliferation rate of only 3.22 times, and the MS selected as the basic medium is more suitable for the proliferation culture of protocorms of Dendrobium officinale.
[0046] During the selection of the proliferation medium, MS is used as the basic medium, and 30 g / L sucrose and 5 g / L agar powder are added as the control group. The effect of adding protein peptone as a nitrogen source in the medium on protocorm proliferation is studied, and 1 g / L protein peptone is added as the experimental group. Figure 4As shown in the statistical data of the 45d culture, the protocorm proliferation multiple of the control group is 4.96 times, and the protocorm proliferation multiple of the experimental group is 7.32 times. The addition of peptone in the proliferation culture medium can better promote the protocorm proliferation.
[0047] In the proliferation culture process, MS is used as the basic culture medium, 1g / L peptone, 30g / L sucrose and 5g / L agar powder are added, the effects of adding 50-200g / L potato or 100g / L banana and other organic matters in the culture medium on the protocorm proliferation are studied, and the experimental data are shown in Table 2 and Figure 5 .
[0048] Table 2 Effects of adding organic matters in the culture medium on the protocorm proliferation
[0049]
[0050] The addition of 1g / L peptone and 100g / L potato mud in the MS basic culture medium is the best for the protocorm proliferation, and the proliferation multiple can reach 12.81 times after 60d culture, which is 2.4 times of the control group.
[0051] In the culture process of Dendrobium protocorm, sucrose as a common carbon source plays an important role in promoting plant growth and proliferation. However, in large-scale production, the cost of sucrose is relatively high, which restricts the production efficiency of protocorm. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to explore a cheaper alternative carbon source. In this study, white sugar was used as the research object, and the proliferation effect of protocorm was evaluated to verify whether it could replace sucrose as a carbon source in the culture medium to achieve the goal of reducing production cost.
[0052] In this study, 30g / L sucrose was replaced by 20-30g / L white sugar in S4-5 medium, and Dendrobium protocorm was inoculated and cultured for 60d, and the proliferation multiple was counted. The experimental results are shown in Table 3. The proliferation multiple of Dendrobium protocorm in the group with added sucrose is 11.91 times of the inoculation amount, and the proliferation multiple in the group with added white sugar is 11.30 times of the inoculation amount. The results of single factor variance analysis show that there is no significant difference in the proliferation multiple between the two groups. Therefore, in the culture process of Dendrobium protocorm, the addition of 20-30g / L white sugar in the culture medium can achieve similar proliferation effect as sucrose, and at the same time, the production cost can be reduced by about 97%.

[0054]
[0055] Note: ns indicates no significant difference between groups, P<0.05.
[0056] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that the content of the present application can be improved and changed in several ways without departing from the technical principles of the present application, and these improvements and changes should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
