Abstract:

Rubus chingii Hu is a typical dual-function medicine and edible food with prominent nutraceutical, health and economic values. In order to accelerate propagation of R. chingii with high quality, the stems of line 14 with higher contents of medicinal ingredients were used as explants. The effects of combinations and concentrations of plant growth regulators and mineral elements on multiplication and growth of R. chingii plantlets were investigated in this paper, and optimized media was obtained. The results showed that when the concentration of naphthylacetic acid (NAA) was 0.1 mg·L-1, the effect of 5.0-30.0 mg·L-1 kinetin (KT) on growth and multiplication of seedlings was equivalent with 0.5-3.0 mg·L-1 6-benzylamine adenine (6-BA). Therefore, the action concentration of KT was 10 times that of 6-BA. 0.5-3.0 mg·L-1 6-BA could caused vitrification of tissue culture plantlets and the supplement of 0.1-1.0 mg·L-1 KT to the media alleviated the vitrification. The multiplication coefficient reached a maximum level of 10.33 under the combination of the two cytokinin, 0.5 mg·L-1 6-BA and 1.0 mg·L-1 KT, and the seedlings grew well. Optimization of mineral elements contents in media improved the growth of seedlings. All together, the best media for R. chingii multiplication were: modified MS medium (2-fold concentrations of Ca、Cu and Mn with 1/4 Mg and 1/2 Zn) added with 6-BA 0.5 mg·L-1, KT 1.0 mg·L-1 and NAA 0.1 mg·L-1. Thus, the tissue culture seedlings multiplied and grew well without vitrification.
