Abstract:

Objective: The tissue culture technology of Litsea cubeba is not perfect and cannot satisfy the needs of industrialized breeding. In view of this, this research intends to optimize the stem callus induction and plant regeneration systems of L. cubeba, so as to improve the differentiation and rooting rates of adventitious buds, and provide technical supports for the establishment of industrial breeding and genetic transformation system of L. cubeba elite varieties. Method: In this study, the stem internodes (without bud) of L. cubeba were used as explants, and the optimum media for callus induction and plant regeneration of L. cubeba were determined through comparing the effects of different plant growth regulators on callus induction, proliferation, adventitious bud differentiation and rooting. On this basis, the transplanting tests of regenerated plants were performed to compare the effects of different substrates on the transplanting survival rates. Result: The optimum medium for callus induction of stem segments was 1/2 MS containing 0.2 mg·L-1 6-BA, 0.3 mg·L-1 NAA, 30 g·L-1sucrose and 7 g·L-1 agar, and the induction rate was 100%. The optimal medium for callus proliferation was 1/2 MS containing 0.5 mg·L-1 6-BA, 1.0 mg·L-1 NAA, 30 g·L-1 sucrose and 7 g·L-1 agar with a proliferation coefficient up to 3.43. The optimal medium for adventitious bud differentiation was 1/2 MS containing 0.5 mg·L-1 6-BA, 0.1 mg·L-1 IBA, 30 g·L-1 sucrose and 7 g·L-1 agar with a differentiation rate of 45.59% and an average number of 8.14 of adventitious buds. The optimum medium for rooting of adventitious buds was 1/2 MS containing 0.5 mg·L-1 IBA, 20 g·L-1 sucrose and 7 g·L-1 agar, the rooting rate was 93.33% and the average number of roots was 6.74. After domestication, the regenerated plants were transplanted into the mixed substrate with nutrient soil and perlite (volume ratio 3 ∶1), and the survival rate reached to 83.33%. Conclusion: This research optimizes the in vitro regeneration system of L. cubeba, significantly improves the differentiation and rooting rates of adventitious buds and the transplanting survival rate of regenerated plants, which can provide a technical support for the industrialized breeding of L. cubeba elite varieties.
