Abstract:

The aims are to breed new varieties of Paphiopedilum, clarify the mutagenic effect of 60Co-γ on different developmental stages of Paphiopedilum and select appropriate radiation dose. Seeds, bottle seedlings (adventitious bud proliferation and adventitious root differentiation stage) and seedlings were used as materials which were treated under the radiation dose of 0 Gy, 5 Gy, 10 Gy, 20 Gy, 30 Gy and 40 Gy of 60Co-γ. The growth and variation were observed and the physiological and biochemical indexes were measured. The results showed that the appropriate radiation dose for seed germination and adventitious root differentiation stage was 5 Gy, while the optimal radiation dose was 20 Gy for adventitious bud proliferation and seedling stage. 6.92 Gy was the semi-lethal dose for Paphiopedilum seeds. With the increase of radiation dose, the seed germination rate, adventitious bud growth rate, adventitious root differentiation rate, and seedling growth potential decreased and the variation increased. Simultaneously, the electrical conductivity, malondialdehyde content, soluble sugar content, soluble protein content, proline content and the activities of peroxidase and superoxide dismutase increased first and then decreased. The ideal radiation dose for Paphiopedilum was low at seed germination and adventitious root differentiation stage, and was relatively high at adventitious bud proliferation and seedling stage. The induced variation was obvious and the effect was stable with the appropriate radiation dose.

Key words: Paphiopedilum, radiation breeding, seed germination, differentiation, rooting
