Abstract:

The aim is to explore the optimum condition for callus induction and redifferentiation by tissue culture technology, so as to lay a foundation for the establishment of genetic transformation system of Panicum miliaceum L.. Five Panicum miliaceum L. varieties were used to study the optimal condition for callus induction and redifferentiation. Plant hormone 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was applied to induce shoot tip callus. Varieties with high germination rate, high callus induction rate and low bacterial infection rate were screened. The optimum hormone concentration and ratio for inducing callus were identified. The results showed that ‘Jishu No. 2’ had high germination and callus induction rates and low bacterial infection rate, showing it was suitable for tissue culture. 2,4-D had the best induction effect on ‘Jishu No. 2’, with the optimum concentration of 2.5 mg/L and the induction rate of 86.67%. The callus was light yellow block, compact in structure and hard in texture. The embryogenic callus formed after subculture was better than that of other varieties. In the process of redifferentiation, when the culture condition was 2.5 mg/L 2,4-D + 3.5 mg/L TDZ, tender buds appeared obviously. The optimum condition for callus induction and redifferentiation of ‘Jishu No. 2’ are obtained, which could provide reference for constructing the regeneration system of Panicum miliaceum L..
