Abstract:

In this study, the main sweet potato varieties planted in tropical areas, including ‘Xinxiang’, ‘Guangshu 87’, ‘Chuanshan Zi’, ‘Ning Zishu 1’, ‘Shulv 1’, ‘Gaoxi 14’ and ‘Sanjiao Ning’ were used as the materials. The selection of explants, disinfection schemes, medium formulation and anti-browning agent were explored. The optimum regeneration system of virus-free and rapid propagation was established for the main sweet potato varieties. The proliferation rate and survival rate of lateral buds were the highest among different parts of explants. In treatments of different explant disinfection, 75% alcohol for 60 s, 2% sodium hypochlorite for 15 min, and 0.1% mercury chloride for 15 min exhibited the lowest contamination rate. The medium formula with the shortest rooting time was as follows: MS+0.05 mg/L NAA+0.1 mg/L GA3. The medium formula with the fastest growth of stem length was as follows: MS+0.1 mg/L NAA+1 mg/L 6-BA+0.5 mg/L GA3. The medium formula with the fastest growth rate of dry weight was as follows: MS+0.1 mg/L NAA+1.5 mg/L 6-BA+0.5 mg/L GA3. Adding 5-6 g/L sodium thiosulfate and 1.25 g/L polyvinylpyrrolidone to the medium could effectively inhibit the browning of explants.

Key words: sweet potato, regeneration system, medium formula, browning of explants
