Abstract:

In order to explore the symbiotic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and Dendrobium officinale plug seedlings, the aim was to screen out the best and excellent symbiotic fungal strains that affect the growth of the plug seedlings.Different Orchidaceae mycorrhizal fungi and plug seedlings of Dendrobium officinale were used as experimental materials to study the symbiotic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plug seedlings, so as to screen out the best symbiotic fungi strains that affect the growth of plug seedlings of Dendrobium officinale.The results showed that:The average fresh weight growth rates of PS1, PS2 and PS3 were 15.7, 7.4 and 19.7 percentage higher than those of the control group, and the differences were extremely significant (P<0.01);The root growth rate of the plug seedlings PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS5 was 44.4, 43.6, 30.2 and 33.4 percentage higher than that of the control group, the difference reached a very significant level (P<0.01).The D4 strain which belonged to the same genus of Epulorhiza sp., showed inhibitory effect during the entire culture process, and the promotion effect of the D5 strain was more obvious in the later stage than in the early stage.It can also be seen from the change of chlorophyll content that other strains except D4 could significantly increase the formation of chlorophyll and promote the growth of plug seedlings.The best excellent strain selected in this research experiment was D1 strain (Epulorhiza sp.), D2 strain (unknown) and D3 strain (Rhizoctonia sp.) significantly promoted the growth of Dendrobium officinale plug seedlings. This would soon be applied to the subsequent transplantation and domestication of tissue culture seedlings of Dendrobium officinale, and would also provide theoretical and practical reference for the efficient in vitro culture and propagation of embryos of other orchidaceous medicinal plants.

Key words: Dendrobium officinale, Orchid mycorrhizal fungi, Plug seedlings
