Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for conducting high-throughput and directed mutagenesis for sugarcane resistance to glyphosate by plasma. The method is as follows: sugarcane embryonic calli are irradiated by a plasma instrument under a sterile condition for mutagenesis, wherein the mutagenesis power is 140˜200 W, the discharging distance is 35˜45 mm, the mutagenesis time is 110˜140 s and the protective gas is nitrogen; buffering culture, moderate/high concentration of glyphosate stress screening, differentiation into seedlings, glyphosate stress screening of bottle seedlings and stress screening via spraying glyphosate on the leave surfaces of potted plants are conducted for the treated calli. The present invention has the advantages of safe operation, simplicity, practicability, high handling capacity, low contamination, and due to implementation of directed stress screening, high screening efficiency, decreased subsequent screening workload and visual identification of resistant mutant strains.

Claims (20)

(a) irradiating sugarcane embryonic calli by a plasma instrument under a sterile condition for mutagenesis, wherein the mutagenesis power is 140-200 W, the discharging distance is 35-45 mm, the mutagenesis time is 110-140 s and the protective gas is nitrogen;

(b) inoculating the sugarcane embryonic calli after mutagenesis in the above step in a solid medium CM2 and sealed by a film for buffering culture for 8-10 days;

wherein the medium CM2 contains: a MS medium, 1.2-1.7 μmol·L −1 of 2,4-D, 28-32 g·L −1 of sucrose and 7.5-8.5 g·L −1 of agar, and the pH of the medium is 6.0-6.4;

(c) inoculating the sugarcane calli after buffering culture in a first solid medium CM3 containing 1.2-1.7 μmol·L −1 of glyphosate, inoculating in a second solid medium CM3 containing 2.2-2.7 μmol·L −1 of glyphosate, then sealing each of the first and second solid medium CM3 with the calli by a film for screening culture for 8-10 days in each of the first and second solid medium CM3;

wherein the medium CM3 contains: a MS medium, 28-32 g·L −1 of sucrose and 7.5-8.5 g·L −1 of agar, and the pH of the medium is 6.0-6.4;

(d) transferring the embryonic calli survived in the above step to a solid differentiation medium CM4 for culture and conducting subculture after seedlings emerge;

wherein the medium CM4 contains: a MS medium, 0.4-0.6 μmol·L −1 of NAA, 0.8-1.2 μmol·L −1 of Kt, 48-52 g·L −1 of sucrose and 7.5-8.5 g·L −1 of agar, and the pH of the medium is 6.0-6.4;

(e) after growing to 20 mm-30 mm, transferring the seedlings in the above step to a medium CM5 for screening culture;

wherein the medium CM5 contains: a MS medium, 4.8-5.2 μmol·L −1 of glyphosate, 28-32 g·L −1 of sucrose, 8 g·L −1 of agar, and the pH of the medium is 6.0-6.4; and

(f) inoculating the seedlings survived in the above step in a medium CM4 for proliferation culture, transferring the seedlings to a medium CM6 for root-growth culture and seedling hardening, then transplanting the seedlings to a seedbed; after growing to 100 mm-150 mm, screening the seedlings by spraying 4.8-5.2 μmol·L −1 of glyphosate; wherein the survived seedlings are glyphosate-resistant strains; and

wherein the medium CM6 contains: ½MS medium, 0.4-0.6 μmol·L −1 of NAA, 1.8-2.2 μmol·L −1 of 6-BA, 28-32 g·L −1 of sucrose, and the pH of the medium is 6.0-6.4.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (a), the mutagenesis power is 140 W, the irradiation distance is 40 mm and the mutagenesis time is 120 s.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (a), the nitrogen flow is 1.0-1.4 L/min.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plasma instrument is sterilized before use, wherein a vessel containing 28-32% H 2 O 2 solution is put into the process chamber in the plasma instrument for diffuse sterilization by vacuum.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (d), the sugarcane embryonic calli are obtained after 2-3 rounds of subculture.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein step (a) further comprises the following steps: cutting the tail end of a robust sugarcane plant after its stalk grows out, stripping outer leaves, sterilizing it by alcohol under a sterile condition, cutting off leaves on the outer layer and both ends thereof, keeping tender leaves 10 mm-50 mm above the growing point, cutting the tender leaves into thin slices, inoculating the slices to a medium CM1 for culturing at 26° C.-28° C. in dark to induce the formation of calli, then subculturing for 1-2 times with a medium CM1, thereby producing sugarcane embryonic calli;

wherein the medium CM1 is a MS medium containing 1.8-2.2 μmol·L −1 of 2,4-D, 28-32 g·L −1 of sucrose, 7.5-8.5 g·L −1 of agar, and the pH of the medium is 6.0-6.4.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (e), the number of days of screening culture is 26-30 d.
