Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of edible fungi cultivation, in particular to an in vitro cultivation method of the ectomycorrhiza of Pleurotus eryngii. Background Art
[0002] Bright milk mushroom (lactariusvividus ) is a famous wild edible mushroom belonging to the phylum Basidiomycota ( Basidiomycota ), Agaricus ( Agaricomycetes ), Russula family ( Russulaceae ), Lactarius ( Lactarius) , which is widely distributed in the central and southern regions of my country. Its fruiting bodies are tender and delicious, rich in nutrients, and have a large market demand. However, as a mycorrhizal fungus, the bright milk mushroom must form ectomycorrhizas with the roots of symbiotic tree species (such as Masson pine) to complete its life history. Ectomycorrhiza is a symbiotic body with specific structure and function formed by mycorrhizal fungi infecting the roots of trees. It plays an important role in improving the mineral nutrition and water absorption of host plants, enhancing plant resistance to stress and maintaining the stability of forest ecosystems. A large number of studies have shown that the formation of ectomycorrhizas is beneficial to the growth of Masson pine. Therefore, studying the principles, mechanisms and phenomena of the interaction between bright milk mushrooms and Masson pine roots has considerable research value and expected economic benefits. However, the ectomycorrhizas of bright milk mushrooms currently used for research are generally achieved by traditional soil cultivation methods, which have the following defects: (1) Difficulty in sterile pure culture: On the one hand, Pinus massoniana seeds often contain bacteria and fungi, which are difficult to sterilize and difficult to sterilize on plates. On the other hand, the traditional method of soil culture through substrate cannot eliminate the interference of other microorganisms, and the external environment has a greater impact on the root system and mycorrhizal fungi, causing interference and difficulties in the study of the interaction mechanism.
[0003] (2) Long cycle: The traditional soil culture method not only requires the sterilization of the culture soil matrix, but also takes up a lot of space. In addition, the experimental cycle is long, and it takes about 40 days to establish a mycorrhizal symbiotic relationship.
[0004] (3) It is not conducive to the observation of the establishment process of the mycorrhizal system: the traditional soil matrix culture of Pinus massoniana root system cannot intuitively observe the root distribution and the establishment process of mycorrhizal interaction.
[0005] (4) It is not conducive to the separation of mycorrhizal system: the process of separating the root system from the soil and other matrices is likely to cause damage to the root system, and the soil matrix adhering to the mycorrhizal structure is difficult to remove, which will affect the accuracy of subsequent experimental analysis. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The present invention provides an in vitro culture method of the ectomycorrhiza of Pleurotus eryngii that can realize soilless in vitro culture, so as to solve the technical problems existing in the existing soil culture method mentioned in the background technology.
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution proposed by the present invention is: A method for cultivating the ectomycorrhiza of bright-colored milk mushroom comprises the following steps: S1. Cultivating the bright-colored milk mushroom on culture medium A to obtain a bright-colored milk mushroom colony; S2. Disinfecting the seeds of Pinus massoniana; S3, the sterilized seeds are inoculated onto culture medium B and cultured until germination forms Pinus massoniana seedlings, after the Pinus massoniana seedlings grow lateral roots, the Pinus massoniana seedlings are moved onto culture medium C, and the bright-colored Lactarius colony is inoculated at the root edge to obtain the ectomycorrhiza of bright-colored Lactarius on the root system of Pinus massoniana after cultivation.
[0008] The present invention eliminates interference from other microorganisms through sterile culture medium and seed disinfection steps, thus achieving a pure environment for studying mycorrhizal interaction mechanisms. The in vitro culture system does not require soil sterilization and complex space, which can shorten the mycorrhizal symbiotic relationship establishment cycle and research time. In addition, in vitro culture allows direct observation of root distribution and the dynamic process of mycorrhizal formation. During subsequent separation, there is no soil matrix adhesion, which avoids root damage and facilitates subsequent mycorrhizal structure separation and analysis.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, in S2, when the seeds of the masson pine are disinfected, a disinfectant, a fungicide and sterile water are used to treat the seeds in sequence, wherein the disinfectant includes Tween 20 and potassium permanganate, and the fungicide includes streptomycin. In soilless in vitro culture, how to effectively disinfect the seeds of the masson pine is one of the key factors to ensure that the research can be successfully implemented. The present invention uses a disinfectant and a fungicide to treat the seeds in sequence, and uses sterile water for cleaning, uses Tween 20 to enhance the surface wettability of the seeds, uses potassium permanganate to efficiently kill surface fungi / bacteria, and uses streptomycin to specifically inhibit residual bacteria, breaking through the problem of sterilization of masson pine seeds, improving the aseptic germination rate, and reducing experimental interference.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the volume fraction of Tween 20 in the disinfectant is 0.01%~0.02%, the addition amount of potassium permanganate in the disinfectant is 0.005g / mL~0.01g / mL; and the addition amount of streptomycin in the bactericide is 50μg / mL~200μg / mL.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, in S2, after the Masson pine seeds germinate to form Masson pine seedlings, the Masson pine seedlings are re-inoculated onto culture medium B with a sterile filter paper on the surface, and culture is continued until the Masson pine seedlings grow lateral roots.
[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, in S3, the surface of the culture medium C is covered with cellophane. The sterile filter paper and cellophane can prevent the Masson pine from growing into the culture medium.
[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the culture media A, B, and C are sterilized before use; the sterilization process includes the following steps: treating the culture media A, B, and C with high-temperature steam at 121°C for 20 minutes, followed by drying, and pouring the culture media into a mold for molding when the temperature reaches 50°C. This sterilization process ensures thorough sterilization of the culture media, maintains the stability of the sterile culture environment, and prevents high temperatures from damaging heat-sensitive components.
[0014] As a further preference of the above technical solution, the culture medium A and / or culture medium C is an MMN optimized culture medium, and the MMN optimized culture medium comprises the following components in parts by weight: 30 parts of malt extract powder, 100 parts of glucose, 5 parts of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 2.5 parts of diammonium hydrogen phosphate, 1.5 parts of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 0.5 parts of calcium chloride, 0.25 parts of sodium chloride, 0.12 parts of ferric chloride, 0.101 parts of vitamin B, 1 part of myristic acid, 10 parts of mycopeptone, 90 parts of agar powder and distilled water.
[0015] Currently, domestic and international research has shown that the mycelium of Lactarius variegatus can grow on symbiotic culture media such as MMN (Modified Melin-Norkrans Medium). Therefore, existing techniques often use ordinary MMN medium to culture Lactarius variegatus. However, the mycelium grows slowly on this medium, requiring approximately 40 days to form large colonies, significantly increasing the research cycle. This invention, for the first time, adds the fatty acid myristic acid as a carbon source for the growth of Lactarius variegatus, and adds peptone to optimize the nitrogen source. By leveraging the advantages and synergistic effects of these two, the culture cycle of Lactarius variegatus mycelium is shortened, as is the time required for the mycelium to infect the root system, thereby reducing the time cost of research experiments.
[0016] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, in S1, before culturing the bright milk mushroom, taking the bright milk mushroom strain and inoculating it on a common MMN culture medium, and culturing it in a dark environment at 25° C. for 30 days to form a large colony as a raw material for culturing the bright milk mushroom.
[0017] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the colonies formed by activation culture are evenly inoculated on culture medium A. After inoculation, the lid is covered and sealed with a sealing film. The culture is carried out in a dark environment at 25° C. for 3 weeks to obtain bright-colored milk mushroom colonies.
[0018] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, in S3, after inoculating the Lactarius variegata colony at the root margin, the root portion of the Masson pine is shaded with aluminum foil. The culture is cycled at 25°C for four weeks, with a cycle of 16 hours in the light and 8 hours in the dark, to obtain ectomycorrhizae of Lactarius variegata on the Masson pine root system. This culture method simulates the natural photoperiod, promoting seedling photosynthesis and coordinated hyphal growth. Shading the root system can reduce root light stress and optimize the mycorrhizal symbiotic environment.
[0019] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention systematically solves the four major defects of traditional soil culture methods by constructing a sterile in vitro culture system: Sterility assurance: Multi-stage disinfection strategy (seed surface treatment + culture medium sterilization) and closed culture environment eliminate microbial interference and achieve precise control of mycorrhizal interaction mechanism research.
[0020] The cycle is greatly shortened: the culture medium formula and in vitro culture conditions are optimized to significantly improve the mycorrhizal symbiosis efficiency and shorten the establishment cycle of the symbiotic system.
[0021] Visualization and non-destructive operation: Cellophane media supports dynamic observation of the root system without the need for soil separation steps, avoiding root damage and ensuring the reliability of experimental data.
[0022] Standardization and scalability: The full-process modular design (with clear division of labor between culture medium A / B / C) is suitable for high-throughput experimental scenarios, providing a technical foundation for the study of mycorrhizal interaction mechanisms and large-scale applications.
[0023] This method can accelerate the research on the symbiotic mechanism of Lactarius variegata and Pinus massoniana, and provide efficient technical support for mycorrhizal seedling production, forest ecological restoration and artificial domestication of edible fungi.
