Abstract:

The stem segments of Hydrangea paniculata ‘Garden Lace’ with axillary buds were used as explants to study the sterilization protocol, the effects of basic culture mediums and plant growth regulators on axillary buds germination, multiple shoot proliferation and adventitious root induction, and the influence of different substrates on the transplanting of tissue culture seedlings. The sterilization effects of NaClO at various chlorine concentrations and treatment times were compared. The treated axillary buds induction, proliferation, and rooting were taken on the basic mediums of MS, 1/2MS, WPM, and 1/2WPM, with different concentrations of 6-BA, NAA, or IBA. The generated tissue culture seedlings were transplanted into various substrates that were mixed with peat, perlite, and vermiculite. The results showed that the most suitable sterilization method was to soak the explant in 75% ethanol for 30 s, followed by 3-4 washings with sterile water. After that, explants were treated with NaClO of 2.0% available chlorine concentration for 8-10 min, followed by 4-6 washings with sterile water. The best start-up medium for axillary buds was 1/2WPM+ 2.0 mg/L 6-BA, for shoots was WPM+ 2.0 mg/L 6-BA+ 0.2 mg/L IBA, and for rooting was 1/2WPM+ 0.3-0.5 mg/L IBA. The best substrate for transplanting the plantlets was an equal amount of well-mixed perlite, vermiculite, and peat. The study developed a quick propagation system for H. paniculata ‘Garden Lace’ through tissue culture, and provided a technical guidance for factory-scale seedling development and mass production.
