The invention relates to a chemical
mutation breeding technology in the field of biotechnologies, and particularly relates to an in-vitro
sodium azide (NaN3)
mutation breeding technology of dendranthema morifolium. The in-vitro NaN3
mutation breeding technology comprises the following steps of: performing culture
in vitro on an immature stem, a stem tip or a leaf of the dendranthema morifolium to form an aseptic
seedling;
processing the stem tip and a stem segment of the aseptic
seedling, which are taken as explants, by
sodium azide (NaN3) in a breeding process to carry out
induced mutation; rooting and
transplanting a test-tube
plantlet; and finally breeding excellent
mutant in a field at a flowering phase. The in-vitro
sodium azide (NaN3)
mutation breeding technology can effectively overcome the obstacle of
breed improvement of a clonal
plant and the constraints of low
bud-variation frequency and small mutational range under natural conditions, can be used for obtaining the excellent
mutant within a short period of time, ensures high
induced mutation efficiency, and has an important value to the genetic improvement of asexual propagation of the dendranthema morifolium with medicinal and ornamental values.
