So this paper reported in vitro regeneration of S. grosvenori by testing for shoot induction from various explant sources such as leaf, petiole and stem. Several phytohormone combinations of TDZ, BA and IAA were examined for shoot regeneration and NAA or IBA for rooting. The highest shoot induction rate （100% of regeneration frequency and 15.3 shoots per explant） in leaf was obtained by incubation on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg·L^-1 TDZ, 2.0 mg·L^-1 BA and 0.5 mg·L^-1 IAA; unlike shoot regeneration in leaves, the most efficient bud inductions in petiole and stem explants were initiated on MS medium containing 0.2 mg·L^-1 TDZ, 2.0mg·L^-1 BA and 0.5 mg·L^-1 IAA, in addition, adventitious buds in petiole and stem explants needed to be transformed to MS medium for development; optimal root was obtained when shoots were cultured on 1/2MS medum supplemented with 0.5 mg·L^-1 NAA or 0.5 mg·L^-1 IBA.展开更多

Initially, the micropropagation of adventitious buds and microtuber - inducing system should be established. Both high quality microtuber and synchronizing microtuber which have the same size were necessary for producing health potato artificial seeds. In our experiment, the optimum medium of adventitious shoot-inducing of potato Hutao, Kesi, and Favorita is DCR + 1.0 mg / kg BA+ 0.5 mg / kg IBA+ 500 mg/ kg LH; the optium medium of microtuber- inducing of Hutao and Kesi is DCR+5.0 mg/ kg BA+200 mg/ kg Lh+8% sugar, and the optium medium of microtuber -inducing of Favorita is DCR+ 5.0 mg/ kg BA+0.1 mg / kg NAA+200 mg/ kg LH+8% sugar. Microtubers of the same size were gained by selecting the synchronous microtubers. 2.0% sodium alginate was used to encapsulate the microtubers of potato to form the artificial seeds, and the concentration of Ca C12 is 4%. Phytohormone NAA promoted the germination of potato artificial seeds. These artificial seeds have more than 90% germinating frequency in plant hormone-free DCR medium.展开更多
