Abstract: | Somatic embryogenesis (SE) was successfully induced from mature zygotic embryos of seven families of Picea likiangensis (Franch.) Pritz after 20 weeks culture on initiation medium. Three basal media (one-half strength LM medium, one-half strength
LP medium and improved LP medium) with different concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 6-benzyladenine
(6-BA) were tested but only one-half strength LM medium supplemented with 2,4-D and 6-BA was successful for the embryogenic
cultures (EC) initiation. The initiation frequencies of EC varied greatly from different families when culturing on the same
initiation medium. The highest frequency (41.3%) was induced from one of the families on one-half strength LM medium supplemented
with 3 mg L−1 2,4-D and 1.5 mg L−1 6-BA and 16.83% on average for seven families. EC were subcultured and proliferated on the same medium as the initiation
one every 10 days. 3 lines of EC induced from the same family were applied in maturation experiment. Cotyledonary somatic
embryos were observed after EC were transferred to maturation media of one-half strength LM medium containing 20-80 mg L−1 abscisic acid and 7.5% polyethylene glycol (PEG-4000). However, one-half strength LM medium supplemented with 40 mg L−1 or 60 mg L−1 ABA and 7.5% PEG gave the best maturation and the 3 lines showed different ability in maturation. Over 80% cotyledonary somatic
embryos germinated normally on DCR medium containing 0.2% activated carbon. The success on SE induction of the species has
provided an effective clonal propagation method for this important tree’s genetic improvement. |
