[0025] The present invention also provides the application of the method in the cultivation of tissues and / or plants of the nine-grade fragrant lotus.

[0026] The technical solutions provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The test material for this invention is seeds of nine-colored fragrant water lilies of different flower colors in a tropical subgenus, sourced from the Haikou base of Hainan Fodu Lianyuan Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd. (110°19′48″E, 19°57′00″N). Figures 1-2 As shown.

[0028] Example 1: Surface disinfection and germination of seeds of the nine-grade fragrant lotus Mature berries of the nine-grade fragrant lotus were collected and soaked in water for 7 days until the berries burst open and released mature seeds. The mature seeds were washed with detergent and then rinsed with sterile water for 5 minutes. They were then soaked in a 500-fold diluted carbendazim solution at 200 rpm for 30 minutes, followed by rinsing with sterile water 3–5 times. They were then disinfected twice with 75% alcohol for 1 minute each time, followed by rinsing with sterile water 3 times. Finally, they were disinfected by soaking in NaClO (effective chlorine concentration ≥8%) and rinsing with sterile water 5 times. Oxytech T-010 was used for disinfection, followed by rinsing with sterile water 5 times. Finally, the seeds were soaked in sterile water for 15 minutes and then rinsed once with sterile water to obtain virus-free seeds. Based on the disinfection concentration and time of NaClO and Oxytech T-010, the mature seeds were divided into groups A1–A7, as shown in Table 1. Virus-free seeds were placed in sterile water and cultured for 15 days at 26℃, with a light duration of 12 h / d and a light intensity of 6500 lx to obtain germinating seedlings, and the germination rate was calculated. Based on the contamination status of the germinating seedlings after transplanting, the uncontaminated rate after surface disinfection was calculated. The results are shown in Table 1 and... Figures 3-4 As shown.

[0029] Table 1 Results of surface disinfection of nine-grade fragrant water lily seeds The results showed that group A6 had the highest uncontamination rate and germination rate of virus-free seeds, reaching 95% and 65.33%, respectively. After 7 days of culture in sterile water, the virus-free seeds germinated into seedlings approximately 1 cm long. Repeated experiments verified that the A6 group's disinfection effect of soaking in 25% NaClO for 8 min followed by soaking in 100% Oxytech T-010 for 40 min was highly effective, stable, and reproducible in detoxifying *Liriope muscari* seeds. Compared to group A6, the germination rate did not change significantly under low-concentration disinfectant combinations, but the uncontamination rate decreased significantly. Appropriately increasing the concentration of one disinfectant could improve the uncontamination rate to some extent, but had varying degrees of impact on the germination rate. High-concentration disinfectants combined with longer treatment times significantly inhibited the germination of virus-free seeds.

[0030] Example 2: Obtaining sterile seedlings of the nine-grade fragrant water lily Seedlings with uniform growth from Example 1 were selected and placed in a sterile seedling solid-phase medium (pH=5.8) based on MS, including 30 g / L glucose, 10 g / L agar, AC, Flower Treasure No. 1, 6-BA, and NAA, with sterile water added for the first stage of culture. The seedlings were cultured for 15 days at 26°C, 12 h / d photoperiod, and 6500 lx light intensity to obtain sterile seedlings. Then, the seedlings were transplanted to a new sterile seedling solid-phase medium and sterile water was added for the second stage of culture. After 21 days of culture at 26°C, 12 h / d photoperiod, and 6500 lx light intensity, the plant height, leaf length, and average number of bud clusters were recorded, as shown in Table 2. Finally, the seedlings were transplanted to a new sterile seedling solid-phase medium and sterile water was added for the third stage of culture. After 30 days of culture at 26°C, 12 h / d photoperiod, and 6500 lx light intensity, the seedlings were cultured. Based on the concentrations of NAA, 6-BA, AC, and Flower Treasure No. 1 in the sterile seedling solid culture medium, germinating seedlings were divided into groups B1 to B6, as shown in Table 2. Figure 5 As shown.

[0031] Table 2. Growth Indicators of Aseptic Seedlings of Nine-Grade Fragrant Water Lily After Stage 2 Culture The results showed significant differences in the mean number of shoot clusters, plant height, and leaf length among the groups. The B3 group of sterile seedlings exhibited high shoot proliferation, robust growth, and well-developed leaves, demonstrating superior overall growth compared to other groups. Repeated experiments confirmed that the optimal culture medium for B3 sterile seedlings was 1 mg / L NAA + 1 mg / L 6-BA + 1 g / L AC + 1 g / L Flower Treasure No. 1. Compared to the B3 group, the B5 group showed a slightly higher mean number of shoot clusters after increasing the 6-BA concentration, but significantly lower plant height and leaf length, indicating weaker seedling growth. The B1 and B2 groups, without the addition of Flower Treasure No. 1, showed low shoot proliferation and relatively low plant height and leaf length. In the B4 and B6 groups, increasing the concentrations of 6-BA and NAA resulted in a decrease in the mean number of shoot clusters, with no improvement in any growth indicators.

[0032] Example 3: Screening of tissue culture explants of the nine-grade fragrant lotus Sterile seedlings of the nine-grade fragrant lotus with uniform growth, selected from Example 2, were used. Roots, stem segments, leaves, and hypocotyls were cut and placed in induction differentiation medium (pH=5.8) based on MS, including 30 g / L glucose, 1 mg / L ZT, 1 mg / L NAA, and 8 g / L agar. The explants were cultured in the dark at 26℃ for 7 days. The growth status of each explant was observed, and the explant materials for subsequent tissue culture and genetic transformation were selected based on their regeneration effect. The results are as follows: Figures 6-7 As shown.

[0033] The results showed that all stem explants died, with no surviving individuals; only some root and leaf explants maintained basic survival, without browning or mold, but they never initiated the dedifferentiation and redifferentiation process, and no callus, adventitious buds, or new organs were formed; hypocotyl explants could normally initiate the differentiation process, successfully inducing the differentiation of new stem and leaf tissues, and possessing stable organogenesis and plant reconstruction capabilities.

[0034] Example 4: Obtaining the sprouts of the nine-grade fragrant lotus The hypocotyl explants from Example 3 were placed in a shoot induction medium (pH=5.8) based on MS, containing 30 g / L glucose, 8 g / L agar, 6-BA, NAA, and ZT. The explants were cultured in the dark at 26°C for 21 days to obtain shoots, and the stem length and average number of shoot clusters were measured. Based on the concentrations of 6-BA, NAA, and ZT, the hypocotyl explants were divided into groups C1–C9, as shown in Table 3. Figure 8 As shown.

[0035] Table 3. Growth Indicators of Nine-Grade Fragrant Lotus Seedlings The results showed significant differences in stem length and the mean number of bud clusters among the groups. Group C5 exhibited the best results in both stem length and the mean number of bud clusters, and both were significantly higher than those of the other groups. This indicates that the 1 mg / L 6-BA + 1 mg / L NAA + 1 mg / L ZT medium in the bud cluster induction medium of the present invention has a prominent effect on stem length and bud proliferation.

[0036] Example 5: Obtaining tissue culture seedlings of the nine-grade fragrant water lily Vigorous, uniformly growing, and uncontaminated seedlings from Example 4 were selected and placed in rooting medium (pH=5.8) based on MS, including 30 g / L glucose, 8 g / L agar, NAA, and AC. The culture was carried out at 26℃, with a light duration of 12 h / d and a light intensity of 6500 lx for 14 days to obtain tissue culture seedlings. The rooting rate and rooting coefficient of the tissue culture seedlings were then measured. Based on the concentrations of NAA and AC, the seedlings were divided into groups D1–D6, as shown in Table 4. Figure 9 As shown.

[0037] Table 4. Rooting Indicators of Nine-Grade Fragrant Water Lily Tissue Culture Seedlings The results showed that NAA significantly improved rooting. Among the D1-D3 groups without added AC, the D2 group (1 mg / L NAA) showed the best rooting effect. Both excessively low and high NAA concentrations inhibited root induction and growth. Adding 1 g / L AC significantly increased the rooting rate and rooting coefficient of all groups, with the D5 group showing significantly better rooting than the other groups. This indicates that the 1 mg / L NAA + 1 g / L AC in the D5 group rooting medium of this invention has a synergistic effect on rooting.

[0038] Example 6: Hardening off tissue culture seedlings of the nine-grade fragrant water lily Tissue culture seedlings from Example 5 were placed in the sterile solid-phase culture medium of Group B3 from Example 2. Subculture was performed according to the method in Example 2 for seedling establishment and strengthening. Then, seedlings that had undergone three subcultures (30 days each), exhibited vigorous growth, no browning, and intact root systems, were selected for hardening and transplanting under conditions of 26℃, 12h / d light, and 6500lx light intensity. A gradient hardening method was used: the seedlings were hardened gradually by opening the cover to 1 / 4, 1 / 2, and then fully opening, with each stage lasting 2 days. After hardening, the seedlings were obtained as *Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides* plants. The plants were gently removed, and the roots were washed with sterile water to remove the agar, avoiding damage to the roots and leaves. A loose, well-drained, and moderately fertile aquatic soil substrate with a top layer of sand was used for planting. After spreading the roots, the substrate was backfilled and compacted. After transplanting, place the seedlings in plastic pots, cover them with water, and allow them to recover in a diffused light environment with a temperature of 26℃ and an air humidity of 92%. Initially, avoid direct sunlight. Once the *Ligustrum lucidum* plants have resumed growth and new leaves have sprouted, gradually restore normal light and water / fertilizer management. The results are as follows... Figure 10 As shown, the tissue culture procedure for the nine-grade fragrant lotus is as follows: Figure 11 As shown.

[0039] The results showed that the nine-grade fragrant water lily plants underwent a longer cultivation period, resulting in fuller growth, more mature development, stronger root systems, and significantly improved resistance and environmental adaptability. After hardening-off treatment, the nine-grade fragrant water lily plants could gradually adapt to changes in external light, humidity, and temperature, and the final survival rate after transplanting could reach over 80%.

[0040] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention provides a tissue culture method for the nine-grade fragrant water lily and its application. The nine-grade fragrant water lily plants obtained according to the method of the present invention have a longer culture period, are more fully grown and mature, have robust root systems, and significantly improved resistance and environmental adaptability. After hardening-off treatment, the nine-grade fragrant water lily plants can gradually adapt to changes in external light, humidity, and temperature, and the final hardening-off survival rate after transplanting is high, providing important technical support for further optimization of rapid propagation and genetic transformation technology research of the nine-grade fragrant water lily.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
