Abstract:

To explore arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi of mycorrhization process and the impact on its growth and development, with tree peony cultivar ‘Wulong Pengsheng’ for bud-micropropagated vitroplantlets of rooting seedlings and hybrid system ‘Z1-WM’ and ‘Z1-10-3’ embryo culture rooting plantlets as the research objects, different kinds of AMF spores in vitro were inoculated. The results showed that active effects of AMF on the growth of mycorrhizal vitroplantlet were investigated. Inoculation of AMF in vitro could increase the transplanting survival ratio of tree peony effectively. The treatments of inoculation of AMF in vitro heightened sprouting rate epicotyl dormancy of plantlets more than CK, and the highest was 99.50%. The time of breaking epicotyl dormancy was 30 d ahead of inoculation of AMF in vitro than that of the control. There was significant difference among inoculation of AMF in vitro and GA3 treatment, 2-4℃ low temperature and the control. The most significant difference was in ‘Z1-WM’ and ‘Z1-10-3’ inoculated with Gg+Gm. As for ‘Wulong Pengsheng’, after transplantation of 6 months inoculated with Gg, the index was 64.93%, 70.90%, 35.00%, 54.55%, 41.15% respectively. Therefore, AM fungi had a significant effect on the growth and development of mycorrhized vitroplantlets of tree peony and shorten the breeding time.
