Axillary buds of mulberry (Morus indica L) were encapsulated in alginate and agar to produce individual beads. The beads could be stored at 4°C for 45 days without loss of viability. Amongst the encapsulating agents tested, sodium alginate was found to be a better matrix. Encapsulated buds regenerated complete plantlets on an appropriate medium. This technique would provide an easy and novel propagation system for the elite as well as difficult-to-root species of mulberry.
桑(Morus indica L)腋芽用藻酸钠和琼脂包被制成单个珠粒。珠粒在 4°C 下可储存 45 天而不丧失活力。在所测试的包埋剂中,发现藻酸钠是更好的基质。包被的芽在适当的培养基上再生出完整的小植株。该技术将为桑树优良品种以及生根困难的品种提供一种简单而新颖的繁殖系统。
