ObjectivesDevelopment of an efficient in vitro propagation system for Cinnamomum cassia Blume
MaterialsCinnamomum cassia seeds obtained from the greenhouse-cultivated plants at Takeda Garden for Medicinal Plant Conservation, Kyoto, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited in 2017 (9 seeds, weight of 1 seed: 210.8±33.1 mg)
ExplantSeeds
Explant sterilizationSeeds were surface sterilized by immersion in a 75% ethanol solution for 1 min, rinsed with sterile Milli-Q water and then in sterilization solution (3% sodium hypochlorite with 0.1% v/v Tween- 20) for 30 min, rinsed seven times with sterile Milli-Q water.
Initial cultureNine sterilized seeds were placed on a half macro salts Murashige and Skoog medium containing 2% sucrose [(2)/2 MS]and solidified with 0.25% w/v gelrite (30 ml/3 cm i.d. ×15 cm culture tube, 1 seed/tube) and cultured at 20℃ in the dark. Rooted seeds were transferred onto Woody Plant(WP) mediurm containing 3% sucrose, 0.25% gelrite, glutamine 10 mg/L (WPG HF) at 23℃ under 14 hr/day light (LED, Pale Pink, NKsystem at 8,000 Lux). All the seeds germinated without expanding the cotyledons until the day 238 after sowing. Germination frequency at day 131 was 88.9%.
Shoot multiplicationThe axenic seedlings were subjected to the micropropagation studies. Multiple shoots formed in the presence of 3-indolebutyric acid (IBA) 1 mg/L and 6-benzyladenine (BA) 3 mg/L from the apical shoot segment of the seedling, the subsequent cultured shoot and the plantlet.
RootingThe shoot segment prepared from the multiple shoot rooted in the presence of IBA 1 mg/L at a ratio of 37%. Theoretically, 22 plantlets could be obtained from a seed using this micropropagation system within one and a half year.
AcclimationIn vitro rooted plantlet was washed with a weak stream of tap water, transplanted in a pot filled with vermiculite and kept in a greenhouse (over 20℃). The aerial part of the plantlet was coverred with a rap to maintain high humidity for a week. The pots were set on the tray which was filled with oxidized glutathion solution (1 mg/L) or water for irrigation for the first 2weeks from transplant. After 2 weeks, the plantlet were irrigated with water. In vitro plantlet obtained by culturing shoot segment with IB 0.5 mg/L were successfully acclimatized with water supply and acclimatized plants could be potted for further growth. This results imply GSSG is not necessary for the acclimatization.
PlantingThe acclimatized plants were potted in the earthen bowl (15 cm i.d.) filled with soil-compost-nursery soil for vegetable and flower (Takii & Co., Ltd)-sand (6:2:1:1) and cultivated in a greenhouse (over 20℃). Plants grew healthily.
