Abstract
In vitro techniques were developed for propagating Vaccinium oldhamii using shoots with apical buds. Explants having an apical bud were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 mg/L of each zeatin, thidiazuron, 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), and 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino)purine (2-iP) in order to induce multiple shoots. Among the tested treatments, the 2.0 mg/L of 2-iP proved to be most suited for the multiplication and growth of shoots; the multiple shoot induction rate was 100.0%, the average number of shoots was 7.4 per explant, and the average shoot length was 51.7 mm. The in vitro elongated shoots were rooted on half-strength MS medium containing various concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). However, overall callus overgrowth was observed in all treatments and resulted in necrosis and abnormal shoot growth in root formation. A low concentration (0.5 mg/L) of IBA was appropriate for normal root development and the in vitro rooting rate was 30%. Ex vitro treatments on root formation using various concentrations of IBA with Talc powder and two types of rooting substrates (Flexi-Plugs or Horticultural soil) were examined. The ex vitro rooting rate (80%) and length of roots (32.9 mm) were obtained when the cut ends of the shoots were treated with 1.0 mg/L IBA and cultivated in Horticultural soil for 2 months. These findings suggest that ex vitro rooting is the more effective method for improving root formation in Vaccinium oldhamii than in vitro rooting.
정금나무(Vaccinium oldhamii)의 정아를 포함한 줄기를 재료로 다신초 유도 및 기외발근을 통해 완전한 식물체를 효과적으로 재분화시킬 수 있었다. 정아를 포함한 줄기로부터 다신초 유도는 2.0 mg/L 2-iP에서 유도율 100.0%, 절편체 당 다신초 유도수 7.4개로 나타났으며, 특히 신초 길이는 평균 51.7 mm로 다른 사이토키닌(zeatin, BA 또는 TDZ) 처리구에 비해 가장 높게 나타났다. 증식된 줄기로부터 기내발근은 0.5 mg/L IBA 첨가에서 절편체 당 2.4개의 뿌리를 생산하였고, 뿌리 길이는 평균 17.6 mm로 가장 우수한 결과를 보였다. 상토를 이용한 기외발근의 경우 1.0 mg/L IBA와 탈크(talc) 혼합용액 처리 시 평균 발근율은 80.0%로 기내발근에 비해 더 양호한 것으로 나타났다.
