Abstract:Objective Effects of different factors on proliferation and rooting of stems with a bud were studied by using Dioscorea bulbifera as test material to optimize the rapid propagation system of D.bulbifera virus-free plantlets.Methods Plant tissue culture method was used in shoot tip culture and rapid propagation study,and RT-PCR method was used in virus detection of virus-free plantlets.Results The best proliferation medium of D.bulbifera stems with a bud was MS+KT 2 mg/L+6-BA 1 mg/L+NAA 0.5 mg/L;The best sucrose and agar concentration of D.bulbifera stems with a bud was 30 g/L and 0 g/L,respectively;The best rooting medium of D.bulbifera stems with a bud was 1/2 MS+IBA 0.1 mg/L+NAA 0.5 mg/L+PP_(333) 1 mg/L;The best transplanting matrix of regeneration plantlets from D. bulbifera stems with a bud was perlite-vermiculite(2:1);The best PP_(333) concentration of D.bulbifera regeneration plantlets for transplanting was 50 mg/L.Conclusion The rapid propagation system of D. bulbifera virus-free plantlets is established successfully for the first time,which provides a technological basis for factory production of D.bulbifera virus-free plantlets.
