Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of germplasm preservation, and relates to a vitrification cryopreservation method for Huperzia serrata Background Art
[0002] Huperzia serrata (Thunb.) Trevis., scientifically named Huperzia serrata, is a perennial rare and endangered medicinal herbaceous fern of the genus Huperzia in the family Huperziaceae. Huperzia serrata has been used as a herbal medicine for treating traumatic injuries, stasis swelling and pain, schizophrenia and other diseases in Chinese folk. Especially, the secondary metabolite huperzine A contained in it has attracted much attention from the global medical community for its wide application in the treatment of senile memory decline, cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease. At present, scholars at home and abroad have not obtained a substitute with better activity than natural huperzine A for the synthesis of huperzine A, derivatives and analogues. Huperzia serrata plants are short, grow extremely slowly, have small biomass, and have limited wild resources. And the uncontrolled harvesting of the natural resources of Huperzia serrata by humans has caused the exhaustion and endangerment of resources. Therefore, effectively preserving its germplasm resources is crucial for maintaining species diversity, maintaining ecological balance, and future resource needs
[0003] Plant cryopreservation is a new biotechnology applied to plant germplasm preservation, which is one of the research hotspots in cryobiology and the only method that can safely preserve plant germplasm resources for a long time at present
[0004] Therefore, it is very important to optimize the cryopreservation system of Huperzia serrata sporangia to enhance its vitality and maintain its viability. How to apply effective cryoprotectants to the main steps such as cryo-loading treatment, dehydration treatment, and rapid thawing in cryopreservation, and effectively optimize the cryopreservation system are the key points for the success of the cryopreservation technology of Huperzia serrata Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vitrification cryopreservation method for Huperzia serrata. This method can make up for the deficiencies of the existing Huperzia serrata germplasm resource preservation technology, improve the survival rate of Huperzia serrata after cryopreservation, enrich the diversity of cryopreservation materials for fern germplasm, and provide new ideas for seeking cryopreservation of fern plant germplasm
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions
[0007] A vitrification cryopreservation method for Huperzia serrata uses Huperzia serrata sporangia as preservation materials, and the specific steps are as follows
[0008] (1) Material acquisition: Select plump, uniform, and healthy sporangia, and use the bromothymol blue method to measure the initial viability of the sporangia. Select sporangia with an initial viability ≥ 90% as preservation materials
[0009] (2) Screening for appropriate water content treatment: Place the sporangia selected in step (1) into a 2 mL centrifuge tube. Open the lid of the centrifuge tube and place the centrifuge tube in a desiccator containing discolored silica gel at room temperature. Set the drying time to 30 min, and the water content is 12%;
[0010] (3) Freezing procedure: Place the sporangia dried for 30 min in step (2) into the LS loading solution and treat at 25 °C for 25 min;
[0011] The components and ratios of the LS loading solution are as follows: MS liquid culture medium containing 30% sucrose and 40% glycerol, sterilized by high-pressure steam at 121 °C for 20 min, cooled, and refrigerated at 4 °C;
[0012] (4) Vitrification treatment: After the treatment with the LS loading solution is completed, take out the sporangia and transfer them into a cryopreservation tube containing the PVS solution. Treat at 4 °C for 30 min, then replace it with the PVS2 solution pre-cooled at 4 °C and treat at 4 °C for 10 min;
[0013] The components and ratios of the PVS solution are as follows: 4.12 g / L MS + 30% glycerol + 15% ethylene glycol + 12% DMSO + 30% sucrose + 50 μmol / L serine / cysteine protease inhibitor + 0.5 g / L glutathione;
[0014] (5) Ultra-low temperature preservation: Immediately plunge the cryopreservation tube containing the sporangia treated in step (4) with the PVS2 solution into liquid nitrogen for ultra-low temperature preservation;
[0015] (6) Thawing and unloading treatment: Take out the cryopreservation tube containing the sporangia from liquid nitrogen, immediately place it in a 37 °C water bath for rapid thawing for 2 min, then place it on a clean bench, soak it 3 times with the US unloading solution for 5 min each time, and then wash it 3 times with sterilized pure water;
[0016] The components and ratios of the unloading solution are as follows: 4.12 g / L MS + 1.2 M sucrose.
[0017] Advantages of the present invention:
