The invention relates to a method for rapid induction of homogenous polyploids of
Chinese jujube, that is the method can double and further develop chromosomes of a single-
cell embryo into homogenous tetraploids by simultaneously carrying out induction with
colchicine during the
somatic embryogenesis process of
in vitro leaf blades of the
Chinese jujube. The method comprises the steps of somatic
embryo induction, doubling of the chromosomes, development of embryoids till nature and detection and screening of the homogenous tetraploids. The specific steps are as follows: selecting
tissue culture seedling leaf blades of the
Chinese jujube with robust growth and
seedling age of 20-30d, and using a pair of scissors after sterilization to shear 5-8 times by being vertical to nervures; then inoculating the leaf blades in an induction culture medium MS plus 15-25g / L of
maltose plus 3.0-5.0g / L of
agar plus 5.0-10.0mg / L of TDZ plus 1.0-2.0mg / L of AgNO3 by leading the front surfaces to face upwards, and simultaneously adding 15-20mg / L of the
colchicine into the culture medium, and carrying out dark culture for 40-50 days; transferring embryoids differentiated from calli of the leaf blades of the Chinese jujube into a
hormone-free culture medium of the MS plus 40g / L of
sucrose plus 500mg / L of caseinhydrolysate for lighting culture and further developing the embryoids into somatic
embryo seedlings; and screening out the homogenous tetraploids from the somatic embryo seedlings through
chromosome detection or the detection by a flow cytometer, wherein the pH of the culture medium is 5.0-6.0, and the culture temperature is 25-30 DEG C. The method can avoid the appearance of chimeras, omit the steps of separation and purification, rapidly obtain the homogenous polyploids and have important application value for accelerating the breeding process of the polyploids of the Chinese jujube.
