Abstract: | A protocol for large-scale propagation of Phragmites communis Trin. by somatic embryogenesis has been established. Plants were regenerated through somatic embryogenesis from stem segments of R5002-12, a salt-tolerant variant line of Phragmites communis Trin. Stem segment explants produced hard white callus on the semi-solid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 9.05 M 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) for 4 weeks. The induction frequency was 36.7%. Then, the callus was transferred to MS medium supplemented with 4.52 M 2,4-D. After 4 weeks in culture, yellow embryogenic callus with some nodular structures was formed. When the embryogenic callus was transferred to differentiation medium (MS supplemented with 0.45 M 2,4-D), differentiation was initiated to form small green islands on the surface of the callus after 2 weeks in culture. Within 4 weeks, a large number of somatic embryos were formed with a frequency of 86.7%. Six weeks later, they developed into strong plantlets. When the plantlets (about 1 cm in length) were cultured on propagation medium (MS supplemented with 13.31 M BA+5.37 M NAA), a great number of regenerated plants were obtained. After the plants were cultured on liquid 1/2 MS medium with 2.69 M NAA added 2.46 M IBA roots developed. The rooted plants were transferred to soil with over 85% survival. Using this methodology, more than 20000 regenerated plants of salt tolerant variant line of Phragmites communis Trin. have been produced. |
