Establishment of a rapid propagation system in vitro for Citrus paradisi Macf.
[Objective]A stable and efficient in vitro propagation system for grapefruit was established in order to provide useful references for grapefruit gene transformation and large-scale expansion.[Method]The stems with auxiliary buds of aseptic seedlings from introduced Henderson Ruby,Hudson Foster,Perlist,Reed Marsh,and Thailand were used as explants to explore the effects of different concentrations of 6-BA,IBA and different genotypes on the induction and proliferation of adventitious bud,and rooting culture.[Result]The highest budding rate of grapefruit was observed in the medium with 0.25 mg/L and 0.50 mg/L 6-BA,which was 100.0%.In the range of 0.10-0.40 mg/L IBA,the adventitious buds were induced.In the medium MS+0.50 mg/L 6-BA+0.20 mg/L IBA,Perlist and Thailand had the highest budding rate,which was 96.67% and 97.78%.The medium for multiplication of the regeneration buds of Hudson Foster and Reed Marsh was MS+0.25 mg/L 6-BA+0.20 mg/L IBA.The rooting medium of Hudson Foster,Perlist and Reed Marsh was 1/2MS+2.00 mg/L IBA.The medium for rooting of the other grapefruit varieties was 1/2 MS+1.00 mg/L IBA.The survival rate of regenerative plant was the highest in Thailand,which was 87.88%.The lowest was Henderson Ruby,which was only 48.48%.[Conclusion]The rapid in vitro regeneration system is established by means of culturing the stems with auxiliary buds from five varieties of grapefruit.
