Abstract:
Objective: To provide a new manufacturing method for the artificial seeds of Dendrobium officinale. Methods: The artificial seeds were manufactured by taking protocorms of D. officinale as the materials entrapped with the consideration of the effects of testa components and artificial endosperm on the germination and seedling of the artificial seeds. Results: The better conditions of the artificial seeds are manufactured in the fundamental artificial endosperm made by MS + 0.5 mg/L BA + 0.5 mg/L NAA +3 g/L AC + 30 g/L sodium alginate + 3 g/L chlorothalonil mixture reacted in 2% CaCl2 for 15 min; For the higher germination and seedling rate, 15 g/L cassava starch and 10 g/L water retaining agent can be added into the artificial endosperm components, respectively; For the higher germination rate, 10 g/L nano-SiO 2 (better planting rate) and 10 g/L Nano-TiO2 can be added into the artificial testa, respectively. The highest seedling rate was obtained by adding 10 g/L nano-SiO2. Conclusion: A manufacturing method of the artificial seeds of D. officinale has been established for the higher germination and seedling rates.
