Establishment of tissue culture and rapid propagation system of Typhonium flagelliforme / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To establish the rapid propagation system and tissue culture techniques of Typhonium flagelliforme for large-scale seedlings. Methods: Using media with different hormones proportions, the tuber tissue was found to be a good explant for inducing asexual propagation system. Results: The callus culture medium consisted of MS+NAA 0.2 mg/L+KT 1.0 mg/L+sucrose 3%+agar 6 g/L could generate callus successfully. Medium consisted of MS+NAA 0.2 mg/L+6-BA 2 mg/L+sucrose 3% + agar 6 g/L was a superlative proportion of hormones concentration to generate adventitious buds efficiently, especially for higher proliferated multiples. The rooting medium consisted of 1/2 MS+NAA 0.2 mg/L+IB A 0.4 mg/L+KT 0.2 mg/L+sucrose 3%+agar 6 g/L+AC 0.3 g/L was conducive to generate roots rapidly. The expiants could be acclimatized after a period of 12 to 14 weeks. Experiments of one-step-seedling formation indicated that the one-step-seedling formation medium, containing MS+NAA 0.2 mg/L+6-BA 1.5 mg/L+sucrose 3%+agar 6 g/L was the best proportion of hormone concentration, for 5 to 6 weeks, new plantlets could be developed, which will be acclimatized in 10 weeks. Conclusion: The tissue culture techniques and rapid propagation system of T. flagelliforme could be used for large-scale seedlings and lay a foundation for its improved breeds.
