Sterile Germination of the Hybrid Seeds of [Den. Burana Green Star × Den. Rainbow-compactum] and Rapid Propagation of F_1 Plantlets via Tissue Culture

[Objective] This study was to germinate the hybrid seeds of [Den.Burana Green Star × Den.Rainbow-compactum] under aseptic condition and to explore the parameters for rapid propagation of F1 plantlets via tissue culture.[Method]Hybridization between Den.Burana Green Star（female parent）and Den.Rainbow-compactum（male parent）was performed and the in vitro culture and proliferation of F1 hybrids were studied using eight different basic media including MS,1/2MS,1/3MS,1/4MS,B5,N6,modified Knudson and H.[Result]Improved Knudson medium appended with 1.0 mg/L 6-BA,1.0 mg/L NAA and 10% mature banana puree performed best in F1 seed germination under aseptic condition,as well as the rapid propagation of protocorm-like body.Of all the eight media tested,1/2MS is the medium most suitable for the in vitro rapid propagation of the F1 seedlings.Efficiency of eight media in the in vitro rapid propagation was in order 1/2 MS MS1/3 MS1/4 MS ≈N6 improved Knudson ≈B5H.NAA presented better rooting and growth-promoting effect in the in vitro rapid propagation of the F1 seedlings than IBA.And the optimal NAA concentration to recommend from our experiment results was 2.0 mg/L.[Conclusion]Our experimental results provided mature method and important technological information for hybrid breeding dendrobium.
