Effect of Different Embedding Matrix on Germination Rate of Artificial Nervilia fordii Seeds
Objective Using the corm regenerated from Nerviliafordii rhizomes as artificial seeds,the effect of different embedding matrixes on their germination rate was evaluated.Methods The germination rates of artificial Nervilia fordii seeds embedded in the various matrixes of sodium alginate (50.0g/L),kinetin (KT,1.0 mg/L),penicillin (0.5mg/L),gibberellin(GA3,0.3 mg/L),α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA,0.5 mg/L)and 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA,2.0 mg/L) were analyzed by the orthogonal test with 6-factor and 2-level design.Results The germination rate of artificial Nervilia fordii seeds embedded in the combination matrix of sodium alginate + GA3 + KT +penicillin was over 85%,and their spouts grew neatly and well.Conclusion A culture method for artificial Nerviliafordii seeds has been established,which brings in higher germination rate.
