Abstract:

An open in vitro culture system was established for the rapid propagation of cut flower Chrysanthemum ‘Iwanohakusen’, in which the best explant surface sterilization agent and the best microorganism growth inhibiting agents were screened out. The best explant surface sterilization was obtained by gently shaking the explants in 0.1% (V/V) of sodium hypochlorite for 15 min. The best result for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms in the primary culture stage was achieved by adding 50 mg/L of mancozeb, 0.1% (V/V) of sodium hypochlorite and 5 mg/L of potassium sorbate, into the medium, and under the condition the contamination rate was as low as 36.7%. There was no significant differences in the induction and the growth rates of the adventitious buds between the traditional tissue culture system and the open culture system. The best combination of the microorganism growth inhibiting agents was 40 mg/L of mancozeb, 0.1% (V/V) sodium hypochlorite and 5 mg/L of potassium sorbate at the stages of subculture and the rooting in the open system, and a high bud multiplication efficiency of 5.93% and a rooting rate of 80.0% were achieved at the condition, without any significant difference in bud growth compared to the conventional tissue culture system.

Key words: cut flower Chrysanthemum ‘Iwanohakusen’ (Chrysanthemum cv. Iwanohakusen), open rapid propagation in vitro, bacteriostatic agents
