The invention relates to a cultivation method of the triploid
salvia, the steps of the invention are that: not completely ripe good
salvia seeds are collected to put into the 1 / 2MS culture medium with
colchicine for
mutagenesis cultivation; then the seeds are transferred into a normal 1 / 2MS culture medium for cultivation, the
root tip of the
seedling is fetched to perform the
ploidy identification of the
chromosome after the preceding process of the
chromosome, and the
seedling with a
chromosome quantity of 2n=4x=32 is the tetraploid
salvia; the tetraploid salvia is taken as a female parent and the diploid salvia is taken as a male parent to perform the
crossbreed and the obtaining seed is a triploid salvia
plant. The
nutrient organs such as the root, stem and leaf and so on of the triploid salvia
plant obviously become bigger and present remarkable
crossbreed advantages, and the root medicinal material output of the triploid salvia is increased by over 30 percent. Moreover, the triploid salvia has flowers, but no seeds, thus decreasing the
nutrition consumption and the
crossbreed advantages of the triploid salvia can be kept over 10 years through the
asexual reproduction, which enhances the
disease resistance and
stress resistance with strong applicability, thus being applicable to planting in every part of the country. Besides, the crossbreed advantages produced by the novel variety triploid production are able to improve the output of the salvia medicinal material planting in a large scale.
