Provided is a cultivation method for promoting growth of transgenic tomatoes and accumulation of
astaxanthin. The cultivation method comprises the steps of taking the
astaxanthin transgenic tomatoes as materials,
sowing seeds of the transgenic tomatoes,
transplanting seedlings growing for two months after emergency of seedlings, covering the transgenic tomato seedlings with nylon nets respectively to perform shading
processing, measuring
light intensity through a
quantum illumination meter, performing
processing respectively according to four
light intensity gradients including shading 75 percent of light, shading 50 percent of light, shading 30 percent of light and performing full illumination, performing
photosynthesis measurement respectively at a flowering phase and a fruit phase, harvesting the transgenic tomatoes for three times when the transgenic tomatoes are ripe, and measuring contents of the
astaxanthin in the transgenic tomatoes. In the planting process, watering is performed in routine to ensure a good
moisture state, cooling
processing is performed through fans and wet curtains, and deinsectization and
disease prevention are performed at regular intervals. According to the cultivation method, the astaxanthin transgenic tomatoes serve as
cell factories to produce the astaxanthin efficiently,
photosynthetic capacity of the transgenic tomatoes and astaxanthin contents in fruits are optimal under the conditions that the
light intensity is 30 percent of
sunlight, and the foundation is laid for establishing an artificial efficient astaxanthin-rich transgenic tomato cultivation technique
system.
