Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of potato microbranch grafting, in particular to a set of tools used for potato microbranch grafting. Background Art

[0002] Micrografting refers to the technology of grafting the stem segment of a test tube seedling onto another topped test tube seedling or stem segment under sterile conditions and cultivating it into a new plant under suitable conditions. It is an asexual reproduction technology that combines grafting technology with plant tissue culture. Micrografting technology is not restricted by seasons and environments and can be carried out in the laboratory all year round. It is mainly used for graft affinity identification, rapid detection and detoxification of plant viruses, rapid breeding of virus-free seedlings, and breeding and preservation of precious breeding materials and germplasm resources.

[0003] Microbranch grafting technology is currently mainly used on fruit trees, and its application in potatoes is relatively rare. Grafting technology can also be used in potato breeding to improve its resistance, yield and quality. The specific practice of the existing potato microbranch grafting technology is: select sturdy potato test tube seedlings, use a scalpel to cut off 1 cm of the top bud of the rootstock material, and cut the incision without the top bud into a "V" shape, "I" shape or " / " shape; at the same time, use a scalpel to cut off 1-2 cm of the top bud of the scion material, and cut the incision with the top bud into a shape that can completely fit the rootstock material. Use tweezers to fit the incisions of the rootstock and scion materials together, and then use tweezers to clamp the tin foil and wrap it around the interface to fix the rootstock and scion to form a chimeric material; finally, insert the chimeric material into the MS culture medium, and after the grafting is healed, remove the tin foil to obtain a potato microbranch grafted plant. During the entire operation, it is very difficult to cut a specific shape at the grafting site of the potato test tube seedling material with a scalpel. The stock and the scion may not fit completely due to the cut shape, which reduces the contact surface and leads to a low survival rate of the chimera material. Since the cutting process takes a long time, the material may also lose water, resulting in grafting failure. This scalpel cutting process is generally not possible in the original culture bottle, so the rootstock with roots in the original culture bottle cannot be grafted. In addition, when the scion is clamped with tweezers, the scion site is usually the tender apical bud site, and the iron tweezers can easily damage it. Finally, in the process of fixing the grafting site with tin foil, the stock and scion that are attached together are often separated, and the healing of the stock and scion cannot be observed in real time after the tin foil is wrapped. In order to solve these problems, this utility model aims to be able to cut the stock and scion materials faster, more conveniently and more accurately, reduce the damage to the tender grafting materials, and observe the healing of the grafting interface in real time, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of potato microbranch grafting operation and the survival rate of grafted plants.

[0031] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the utility model discloses a set of tools for potato micro-branch grafting, including micro-grafting shears, tweezers sets, silicone sleeves and sleeve assistants.

[0032] 1. Micro-grafting shears:

[0033] 1. Handle 1: The inner ring contains a silicone pad, which acts as a buffer. When operating for a long time, it can prevent the handle 1 from squeezing the fingers and causing discomfort;

[0034] 2. Screw 3: used to fix the two scissor arms 2 of the micro-grafting scissors. Compared with ordinary scissors, the position of screw 3 is closer to the front end of the micro-grafting scissors, which is more labor-saving to operate;

[0035] 3. Knife card 4: used to disassemble and replace operating knives 6 of different specifications, located 1 cm from the front end of the scissor arm 2. There are 2 mm protruding iron sheets on both sides of the front end of the scissor arm 1 cm to form a groove, and there are two screw holes 5 at the upper and lower ends of the groove. The operating knife support frame 7 can completely fit the groove of the knife card 4, and the operating knife can be completely fixed by installing two screws.

[0036] 4. Operating knife 6: The operating knife 6 includes a placement slot 9 and a cutting knife 10, which are connected to the operating knife support frame 7 respectively, and are arranged on both sides, one side is the placement slot 9, and the other side is the cutting knife 10. There are two 2mm protruding iron sheets on both sides of the placement slot 9, forming an inner concave, and the inner concave of the placement slot 9 is opposite to the blade of the cutting knife 10. The inner width of the placement slot 9 is divided into four specifications of 1mm, 1.3mm, 1.5mm, and 2mm, which can cover the diameter of most potato test tube seedlings. There are "V"-shaped, " / "-shaped, or "I"-shaped cutting notches 11 in the middle of the placement slots 9 of different specifications, respectively, to ensure that the blade 12 of the cutting knife 10 is pressed into the cutting notch 11, and the stem of the potato test tube seedling can be completely cut off. The specification of the cutting knife 10 corresponds to the placement groove 9, the cutting knife seat 13 is 0.5mm wider than the inner diameter of the placement groove 9, and the cutting knife seat 13 has a blade 12 corresponding to the shape of the cutting notch 11 in the concave of the placement groove 9, and the height of the blade 12 is fixed at 2.5mm. When the micro-grafting shears are closed, the cutting knife seat 13 will be stuck on the top of the placement groove 9, and the blade 12 will cut off the potato test tube seedlings in the placement groove 9, and the blade 12 can pass through the cutting notch 11 and penetrate 0.5mm, ensuring that the blade will not be damaged when cutting the potato test tube seedling material.

[0037] 2. Tweezers cover: Made of pure silicone, high temperature resistant, and can be sterilized by wet heat. The tweezers cover is a hollow structure with a large top and a small bottom, which can be completely fitted on the tips of the two arms of the tweezers. The tweezers cover is 1cm long and 2mm thick. It is soft and elastic. It is put on the tips of the two arms of the tweezers to prevent the tweezers from damaging the tender tissues of the potato test tube seedlings.

[0038] 3. Silicone sleeve: A transparent hose made of silicone, which is resistant to high temperatures and can be sterilized with wet heat. The silicone sleeve is a cylindrical hollow structure with a longitudinal opening on the longitudinal side of the silicone sleeve. It is 1 cm in length and 0.5 mm in thickness. It is transparent and has high clarity. It can completely cover the interface of the grafting material, and the healing of the grafting interface can be observed at any time. The inner diameter of the silicone sleeve has four specifications: 1mm, 1.3mm, 1.5mm, and 2mm. Choose a silicone sleeve with a specification similar to the thickness of the grafting material. There is a longitudinal opening 14 on the longitudinal side of the silicone sleeve, which can be stretched open so that the silicone sleeve can be sleeved on the interface of the potato test tube seedling grafting material that is slightly larger than its inner diameter. Compared with inserting the material from the upper and lower ends of the silicone sleeve, it is easier to operate and less likely to damage the material after stretching it from the longitudinal opening 14. The interface of the grafting material can be completely fitted through subtle adjustments. The transparent material of the silicone sleeve allows the healing of the grafting interface to be observed at any time. 4. Sleeve assistant:

[0039] 1. The pinching part 15: The place where the fingers pinch, and the auxiliary device can be completely closed together by applying force. The outer surface has striped patterns, which can play a role in anti-slip.

[0040] 2. Elastic piece 16: Keeps the sleeve auxiliary device in an open state under natural conditions.

[0041] 3. Operating needle 17: After passing through the longitudinal incision of the silica gel sleeve, expands the silica gel sleeve.

[0042] During use, burn the micro-grafting scissors, forceps, and the operating needle of the sleeve auxiliary device with an alcohol lamp and let them cool naturally. Then select potato test-tube seedlings with a suitable diameter from the culture bottle, operate with the micro-grafting scissors at the required position, embed the stem of the potato test-tube seedling into the concave of the placement groove of the micro-grafting scissors, and then pinch the handle of the micro-grafting scissors with two fingers to cut off the potato test-tube seedling. The cut end is in the shape of the selected cutting knife ("V" shape or " / " shape or "-" shape). If the rootstock is needed, discard the cut part. If the scion is needed, take out the cut part and place it in a petri dish lined with wet filter paper for later use. Put the forceps sleeves on the tips of the two arms of the forceps, use the forceps to pick up the scion material and make it completely fit with the cut of the rootstock material. Then select a suitable sleeve auxiliary device, pinch the sleeve auxiliary device to make the operating needle pass through the longitudinal incision of the silica gel sleeve, and slowly release the sleeve auxiliary device. The operating needle on the sleeve auxiliary device will expand the longitudinal side of the silica gel sleeve. Put the silica gel sleeve on the interface of the grafting material from the open position, and after fine adjustment, make the interface of the grafting material fit completely. Then slowly withdraw the sleeve auxiliary device, and the silica gel sleeve will fix the interface of the grafting material well together. Place the fixed grafting material under suitable conditions for cultivation, and observe the healing condition of the interface through the transparent silica gel sleeve in real time. After the interface is completely healed, use the operating needle of the sleeve auxiliary device to expand along the opening on the longitudinal side of the silica gel sleeve and take it out, then a potato micro-grafted seedling is obtained.

[0043] The above specific implementation manners do not constitute a limitation to the protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can occur depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
