Abstract

Abstract: To establish an efficient regeneration system for apple rootstock，this study utilized detached in vitro leaves from tissue-cultured seedlings of apple rootstock B9 as explants. This study screened key factors influencing regeneration，including various concentrations of phytohormone combinations，durations of dark culture，seedling ages，and hygromycin concentration. The findings revealed that the optimal medium for inducing indefinite buds was MS + 3.0 mg · L^-1 TDZ + 0.3 mg · L^-1 NAA + 30 g · L^-1 sucrose + 7 g · L^-1 agar，with a seedling age of 45 days and a dark culture period of 14 days，leading to the highest regeneration efficiency. The proliferation medium consisted of MS + 0.8 mg · L^-1 6-BA + 0.2 mg · L^-1 IAA + 30 g·L^-1 sucrose + 7 g · L^-1 agar；The rooting medium was 1/2 MS + 0.6 mg · L^-1 IBA + 30 g · L^-1 sucrose + 7 g · L^-1 agar. The appropriate hygromycin concentration for leaf regeneration was 2–4 mg · L^-1，while for rooting，it was 2–3 mg · L^-1.

Key words: apple, rootstock, regeneration, phytohormone, indefinite buds
