Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polygonatum cyrtonema seed processing, in particular to a method for improving the germination rate of polygonatum cyrtonema seeds. Background Art

[0002] Polygonatum kingianum (Polygonatum kingianum Coll. et Hemsl.) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the Liliaceae family (Liliaceae). It is one of the three main source plants of the medicinal material Polygonatum sibiricum listed in the 2020 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. Its dried rhizome is used in traditional Chinese medicine, known as Polygonatum sibiricum, for its benefits of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys. Due to its excellent medicinal properties and rich content of various active ingredients, Polygonatum kingianum is not only a valuable resource for the Traditional Chinese Medicine industry but also a key authentic medicinal material in Yunnan Province, known for its "medicinal and edible properties," and holds broad development prospects in the healthcare industry.

[0003] With the rapid increase in market demand, the large-scale and standardized cultivation of Polygonatum sibiricum has become the core of industrial development. However, there are significant bottlenecks in its propagation process, which seriously restricts the stable supply of seedlings and the rapid expansion of the industry. At present, production mainly relies on seed propagation, but Polygonatum sibiricum seeds have deep dormancy characteristics, and their natural germination process is extremely slow. They need to undergo outdoor stratification treatment for more than two years before germination. In addition, the germination rate is low and the seedlings are uneven, which cannot meet the needs of modern planting for efficient and mass production of seedlings.

[0004] The germination barriers of Polygonatum sibiricum seeds are mainly due to their complex comprehensive dormancy characteristics, including but not limited to: 1) Physiological dormancy: the embryo needs to complete morphological after-ripening and physiological after-ripening, and this process depends on specific temperature and humidity conditions; 2) Seed coat barriers: the seed coat may have mechanical constraints on the growth of the embryo or poor permeability to water and gas. In addition, a serious production practice problem is that the fruit of Polygonatum sibiricum is sticky, and the seeds are difficult to clean thoroughly, and residual pulp and sugar are often attached to the surface. In the warm and humid environment required for stratification germination, these organic residues can easily become a culture medium for the growth of fungi and bacteria, causing large quantities of seeds to rot, further significantly reducing the effective seedling rate.

[0005] To solve the above problems, existing technologies have proposed a variety of methods to promote germination and prevent mildew. The mainstream technical paths include: (1) Exogenous hormone treatment (such as GA3, 6-BA, etc.) breaks dormancy by regulating endogenous hormone levels. However, this method has extremely stringent requirements on hormone concentration and treatment time, and the operation requires high professionalism. A slight deviation can easily lead to drug damage or poor results, increasing production instability and operational difficulty. (2) Applying special germination agents or seed coating technology to combine fungicides, nutrients and growth regulators can effectively reduce the mildew rate and promote germination. However, this method is costly and may introduce chemical pesticide residues, which is contrary to the development concept of green agriculture. (3) Tissue culture technology can produce sterile seedlings with high efficiency, but it requires expensive equipment investment and professional technical personnel, has the highest production cost, and is difficult to promote and popularize among farmers.

[0006] In summary, while existing technologies can improve the germination of Polygonatum dahliae seeds to varying degrees, they all have significant limitations: complex procedures, long cycles, high costs, or violations of green production principles. Therefore, the industry urgently needs a seed germination treatment method that is simple to operate, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, efficient, and stable. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The invention aims to provide a method for improving the germination rate of Polygonatum cyrtonema seeds.

Soak the Polygonatum dahliae seeds in water at 25-60°C for 20 minutes. After soaking, cool to room temperature and sterilize the surface with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes. Rinse with sterile water 5-6 times and dry with filter paper. S4, take a tissue culture bottle, wash it, dry it, put it in multiple layers of filter paper, sterilize it at 121°C for 30 minutes, wait for the tissue culture bottle to cool to room temperature, add sterile water dropwise, soak the filter paper in the tissue culture bottle, place the Polygonatum dahliae seeds that have been dried in step S3 on the filter paper in the tissue culture bottle, and cover the tissue culture bottle with a bottle cap; S5. Place the tissue culture bottle in an artificial climate box at a temperature of 25° C. and culture in the dark for 12 to 14 days to obtain seedlings.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the fleshing treatment in step S1 is to select quartz sand with a particle size of 2 to 3 mm and mix it with the polygonatum berries and then rub it to remove the skin and flesh of the polygonatum berries to obtain polygonatum seeds; the polygonatum berries are polygonatum berries harvested in the season.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the low-temperature treatment in step S2 is to place the product at 4°C for 30 days.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, in step S3, the Polygonatum cyrtonema seeds are placed in warm water at 50-60° C. and soaked for 20 minutes.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, a method for improving the germination rate of polygonatum cyrtonema seeds comprises the following steps: S1, collecting and removing the flesh of the mature polygonatum cyrtonema berries to obtain polygonatum cyrtonema seeds; S2, treating the obtained polygonatum cyrtonema seeds at a low temperature for 30 to 40 d, surface disinfect with 2% sodium hypochlorite for 10 minutes, rinse with sterile water 5 to 6 times, and absorb the moisture with filter paper; S3, place the Yunnan polygonatum seeds in water for 20 minutes, the water temperature is 25 to 60 ° C, cool to room temperature after soaking, surface disinfect with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes, rinse with sterile water 5 to 6 times, and absorb the moisture with filter paper; S4, take a tissue culture bottle, wash, dry, put in multiple layers of filter paper, sterilize at 121 ° C for 30 minutes, wait for the tissue culture bottle to cool to room temperature, add sterile water dropwise, soak the filter paper in the tissue culture bottle, place the Yunnan polygonatum seeds that have been dried in step S3 on the filter paper in the tissue culture bottle, and cover the tissue culture bottle; S5, place the tissue culture bottle in an artificial climate box at a temperature of 25 ° C, culture in the dark for 12 to 14 days to obtain seedlings.

[0016] Advantages of the present invention: The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the existing technology and provides a new Yunnan polygonatum seed processing strategy. This strategy aims to efficiently break seed dormancy, so that seeds can be quickly germinated and sown when harvested in the same season, significantly shortening the seedling raising cycle; at the same time, the strategy must be able to effectively inhibit microbial contamination during the stratification process and significantly reduce the seed mildew rate. Thus, without relying on expensive equipment and difficult operations, the germination uniformity and final seedling rate of Yunnan polygonatum seeds are comprehensively improved, providing a reliable and practical key technical support for the large-scale seedling raising of Yunnan polygonatum. The seedling rate of Yunnan polygonatum seeds is significantly improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
