Axillary shoot proliferation and plant regeneration in Euryodendron excelsum H. T. Chang, a critically endangered species endemic to China.
2020
Euryodendron excelsum H. T. Chang is a single-type, rare and endangered woody plant unique to China. In this study, young stems were used as explants and cultured on Woody Plant Medium (WPM) supplemented with 5.0 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA), were subcultured for more than 15 times over a total of more than 3 years and finally an efficient axillary shoot proliferation and plantlet regeneration system was established in which one shoot could proliferate an average of 5.1 axillary shoots every 2 months on the medium supplemented with 5.0 μM BA and 0.5 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Shoots rooted at a moderate frequencies (50.1%) on agarized WPM supplemented with 0.5 μM NAA but 100% of shoots rooted in agar-free vermiculite-based WPM after culture for 2 months. Plantlets, when transplanted to peat soil: vermiculite (1:1), showed the highest 95.1% survival within 1 month.
