Abstract:

The effects of different concentrations of exogenous putrescine (Put) and spermine (Spm) on the flowering of Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo were studied using the rootless plantlets in vitro. The flowering rate of D. officinale could be increased by adding appropriate amount of Put and Spm in the medium. The flowering rate of D. officinale was the highest (30.47%) when the concentration of Put was 0.4 mg/L, and the flowering rate of D. officinale was 22.26% when the concentration of Spm was 0.2 mg/L. The time to have the first flower bud appeared of D. officinale was the shortest (83.33 d) when the concentration of Put was 0.2 mg/L, and the viewing period of D. officinale could be prolonged by 43.33 days. When the concentration of Put was 0.4 mg/L, the content of soluble sugar and soluble protein was the highest. The content of total N was the highest in CK. When the concentration of Spm was 0.6 mg/L, the C/N ratio of the plant was the highest. The concentration of Put 0.4 mg/L would be beneficial to the accumulation of carbon and nitrogen compounds, which could promote the flowering rate of D. officinale.
