Abstract
Protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of Dendrobium candidum Wall. ex Lindl., orchid, were successfully cryopreserved using an encapsulation vitrification method. PLBs were precultured in liquid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0.2 mg l−1 α-naphthalene acetic acid and 0.5 mg l−1 6-benzyladenine enriched with 0.75 M sucrose, and grown under continuous light (36 μmol m−2 s−1) at 25 ± 1°C for 5 days. PLBs were osmoprotected with a mixture of 2 M glycerol and 1 M sucrose for 80 min at 25°C and dripped in a 0.5 M CaCl2 solution containing 0.5 M sucrose at 25 ± 1°C and left for 15 min to form Ca-alginate beads (about 4 mm in diameter). Then, these were dehydrated with a plant vitrification solution 2 (PVS2) consisting of 30% (w/v) glycerol, 15% (w/v) ethylene glycol, and 15% (w/v) dimethyl sulfoxide in 0.5 M sucrose, pH 5.8, for 150 min at 0°C. Encapsulated and dehydrated PLBs were plunged directly into liquid nitrogen for 1 h. Cryopreserved PLBs were then rapidly re-warmed in a water bath at 40°C for 3 min and then washed with MS medium containing 1.2 M sucrose for three times at 10 min intervals. Within 60 days, plantlets with the cryopreserved PLBs developed normal shoots and roots, and without any observed morphological abnormalities, were obtained. The survival rate of encapsulated-vitrified PLBs was above 85%. Thus, this encapsulation-vitrification method was deemed promising for cryopreservation of PLBs of D. candidum.
