Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant tissue culture technology, and in particular to a method for promoting callus proliferation and somatic embryo induction in oil palm using baicalin. Background Technology

[0002] Oil palm, known as the "King of Oils," produces approximately 80 million tons of palm oil globally, with China importing about 6 million tons annually, making it a crucial guarantee for my country's edible oil supply security. However, the development of my country's oil palm industry is constrained by a shortage of high-quality seedlings.

[0003] In recent years, the Coconut Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences has cultivated a new oil palm variety, "Hot Oil No. 1," through introduction and selection. This variety produces oval or elliptical fruits with a smooth, orange-red exocarp and a thick mesocarp. After three years of planting in Hainan, over 80% of the plants bear fruit annually, producing 10-15 bunches per plant, with each bunch weighing 10-15 kg. The oil yield per bunch is 22.9%-29.3%, and the palm oil contains 46.0%-46.7% unsaturated fatty acids. In the eighth year after planting, the yield per bunch reaches 860.3 kg / mu (approximately 0.067 hectares), equivalent to 239.2 kg of oil, making it a high-yielding variety. Tissue culture technology, as an important method for rapid asexual propagation, can achieve clonal propagation of superior individual plants while maintaining the genetic characteristics of the maternal parent, which is of great significance for the promotion and application of superior varieties such as "Hot Oil No. 1." However, existing oil palm tissue culture systems mainly rely on high concentrations of herbicide-based plant hormones (such as 2,4-D or dicamba), which often leads to long callus formation cycles, low proliferation efficiency, low somatic embryogenesis rates, poor reproducibility, and excessively long seedling development cycles (usually 24-30 months). Therefore, reducing the risk of synthetic hormones, improving somatic embryo induction rates, and shortening the culture cycle are key technologies for constructing a rapid propagation system for oil palm tissue culture seedlings. Breakthroughs in this technology can provide technical solutions for the asexual propagation of superior oil palm varieties, achieving a leapfrog innovation in the rapid asexual propagation of oil palm seedlings, and providing strong technical support for the high-quality expansion and increased production of my country's oil palm industry.

[0025] (1) This invention is the first to use baicalin in the callus induction, callus proliferation, and somatic embryo induction stages of young yellow leaves of oil palm.

[0064] The composition and formulation of the callus proliferation medium are as follows: Y3 medium is used as the basal medium, and each liter of basal medium contains 0.1 mg / L of baicalin, 40 g / L of sucrose, and 5 mg / L of dicamba; the pH of the callus proliferation medium is adjusted to 5.80 before sterilization.

[0067] Example 1: Callus Induction Rate

[0068] The following experiment was conducted: callus rate (%) = number of explants induced to produce callus / total number of explants × 100%, as detailed in Table 1. 2,4-D (10 mg / L) and dicamba (10 mg / L) were used as control groups. Hormone concentrations were gradually decreased while 0–0.5 mg / L baicalin was added. The callus induction rate and initial callus formation time of young yellow leaves of oil palm were statistically analyzed. As the concentration of 2,4-D or dicamba decreased, the callus induction rate decreased, and the induction time increased accordingly. When the hormone concentration was below a certain threshold, the callus induction rate was too low and had no practical application value. Adding baicalin while decreasing the hormone concentration significantly shortened the callus induction period. Therefore, within a suitable hormone concentration range, adding baicalin to the callus induction medium can effectively shorten the callus induction time.

[0069] Table 1 Effects of baicalin on callus induction in oil palm

[0070]

[0071] Note: The callus induction rate was statistically analyzed 150 days after inoculation.

[0072] Example 2: Callus proliferation rate

[0073] The experiment was set up as follows: callus proliferation rate (%) = ((callus weight after 30 days - inoculated callus weight) / inoculated callus weight) × 100%, details are shown in Table 2 and... Figure 1 As shown, 2,4-D (10 mg / L) and dicamba (10 mg / L) were used as control groups. The hormone concentrations were gradually decreased while 0–0.5 mg / L baicalin was added. Callus induced from young yellow leaves of oil palm was weighed before inoculation and 30 days after inoculation. The callus proliferation rate decreased with decreasing 2,4-D or dicamba concentrations, but excessively high concentrations of dicamba inhibited callus proliferation. Adding baicalin while decreasing the hormone concentration significantly increased the oil palm callus proliferation rate, increasing it by 48.19% compared to media with higher concentrations or without baicalin. Therefore, within a suitable hormone concentration range, adding baicalin to the callus proliferation medium can effectively improve the callus proliferation rate.

[0074] Table 2. Effects of baicalin on callus proliferation in oil palm.

[0075]

[0076] Experimental Example 3: Somatic Embryo Induction Rate

[0077] The experiment was set up as follows: Somatic embryo induction rate (%) = number of calluses induced into somatic embryos / total number of calluses × 100%, as detailed in Table 3 and... Figure 2As shown, a somatic embryo induction medium supplemented with 6-BA (5 mg / L) was used as the control group, and a somatic embryo induction medium supplemented with baicalin (0.1 mg / L~0.5 mg / L) prepared in this invention was used as the experimental group. Both groups were inoculated with proliferated oil palm callus for somatic embryo induction. It was found that adding baicalin to the control group (sophore induction rate 7%) inhibited somatic embryo induction (2%~4%); adding baicalin (0.3 mg / L) to the somatic embryo induction medium without the plant hormone 6-BA significantly increased the somatic embryo induction rate (12%) and shortened the induction period.

[0078] Table 3 Effects of baicalin on the induction of oil palm somatic embryos

[0079]

[0080] Note: The statistical time for somatic embryo induction rate is 150 days after inoculation.

[0081] In summary, in this invention, baicalin mainly enhances callus proliferation and somatic embryo induction efficiency in young yellow leaves, and shortens the induction time. As a flavonoid compound, baicalin acts as an antioxidant, scavenging excess reactive oxygen species generated by cells under external stress (high concentrations of auxin, trauma, etc.) and maintaining normal cell growth. Furthermore, it may regulate the transport and metabolism of auxin, and integrate auxin with other plant hormones, ROS, and transcriptional regulatory signaling pathways, ultimately regulating callus proliferation and differentiation.

[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
