Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of plant cultivation technology, specifically relating to a method for promoting the germination of Polygonatum yunnanense seeds. Background Technology

[0002] Yunnan Polygonatum ( Polygonatum kingianum Polygonatum yunnanense is an important plant used for both food and medicine, and its seeds possess a deep comprehensive dormancy characteristic. Belonging to the genus Polygonatum in the family Liliaceae, its rhizome is used medicinally. It has a mild, sweet taste and is easily taken, making it a superior tonic with functions of replenishing qi and yin, strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys. With a deeper understanding of the medicinal value and health benefits of Polygonatum yunnanense, wild resources are gradually being depleted, and artificial cultivation has become the main way to obtain it in the market. Artificial cultivation of Polygonatum yunnanense mainly includes sexual and asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction primarily uses rhizomes, but the overall reproduction coefficient is low, the overall production cost is high, and the seedlings grown using rhizomes have poor uniformity, easily leading to losses in large-scale planting. Sexual reproduction of Polygonatum yunnanense is through seed cultivation, but Polygonatum yunnanense seeds have a long dormancy period and a low natural germination rate.

[0003] Currently, methods such as gibberellin soaking and low-temperature stratification are commonly used to break seed dormancy. However, these methods generally suffer from problems such as long treatment cycles, uneven germination, and poor effectiveness on low-vitality seeds. Existing technologies have not yet effectively integrated physical, chemical, and biological methods to systematically solve the multiple obstacles in the germination process of *Polygonatum yunnanense* seeds. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for an efficient, stable, and large-scale *Polygonatum yunnanense* seed germination method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for promoting the germination of Polygonatum yunnanense seeds with a short germination cycle, high germination rate, and robust seedlings.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: A method for promoting the germination of Polygonatum yunnanense seeds mainly includes the following steps: S1. Select mature and plump seeds of Polygonatum yunnanense and treat them with a compound enzyme solution containing pectinase and cellulase. S2. The seeds treated in S1 were subjected to variable temperature cycling culture and ultrasonic treatment in sequence; S3. Soak the seeds treated in S2 in a compound solution containing gibberellin (GA3), cytokinin (6-BA) and organic nitrogen source. Seeds that float on the surface of the solution during soaking are removed and transferred to a gibberellin solution without 6-BA and organic nitrogen source for further soaking. S4. Sow the soaked seeds in the germination substrate for cultivation.

[0006] Furthermore, in step S1, before the compound enzyme solution treatment, the seeds are first disinfected with a 1-3% sodium hypochlorite solution for 10-20 minutes and then rinsed with sterile water.

[0007] Furthermore, the pectinase activity is 100,000 u / g, the cellulase activity is 5,000 u / g, and the dosage of both is 0.03-0.08% of the seed weight.

[0008] Furthermore, in step S2, after ultrasonic treatment, the seeds need to be soaked in warm water at 30-35℃.

[0009] Furthermore, the variable temperature cyclic culture consists of a daily cycle of 8 hours at 25°C and 16 hours at 5°C, lasting for 15-25 days.

[0010] Furthermore, in the composite solution, the concentration of gibberellin (GA3) is 50-150 mg / L, the concentration of cytokinin (6-BA) is 10-50 mg / L, and the concentration of organic nitrogen source is 5-15 g / L.

[0011] Furthermore, step S4 also includes a staged stress-resistant treatment, the conditions of which are: temperature 15-25℃, humidity 55-60%, lasting for 2 days.

[0012] Further, the germination substrate is any one of the following a) or b): a) 1 / 2MS solid culture medium with 0.5-1 g / L humic acid and 2-3 g / L perlite added; b) a composite substrate obtained by mixing humus, river sand and coconut coir in a volume ratio of 3:1:1 and sterilizing it.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. This invention utilizes the synergistic effect of compound enzyme solution (biodegradation) and ultrasound (physical cavitation) to effectively soften and slightly damage the hard seed coat of Polygonatum yunnanense, thereby improving the subsequent absorption efficiency of water and hormones by Polygonatum yunnanense seeds. Combined with the precise breaking of physiological dormancy through 25℃ / 5℃ temperature cycling and the hormonal balance regulation of GA3 and 6-BA, the germination rate of Polygonatum yunnanense seeds ultimately reaches 90%-95%, which is nearly double that of the traditional GA3 soaking method (45%-48%).

[0014] 2. This invention accelerates embryo maturation by simulating the natural habitat through variable temperature cycling and activates the seed's endogenous enzyme system with ultrasound, thus advancing the seed germination start time to about 5 days after treatment. The entire germination cycle from seed treatment to germination completion is shortened to 30-40 days, which is more than 60% shorter than the traditional wet sand stratification method (90-120 days). This solves the core problem of "long treatment cycle" in the background technology and creates favorable conditions for early transplanting of *Polygonatum yunnanense* seedlings and seizing the growth cycle.

[0015] 3. The synergistic effect of organic nitrogen sources (peptone, yeast extract) and hormones provides a continuous supply of nutrients for seed germination. Combined with a germination substrate rich in humic acid, the cultivated seedlings have well-developed root systems and robust stems, resulting in a 20%-30% increase in seedling height compared to seedlings cultivated using traditional methods.
