Popis: In this study, an efficient and reproducible plant regeneration system for lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) was established using shoot apical meristems from the buds and one-week-old aseptically germinated embryos as explants. Multiple shoot clumps were induced on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with various combinations of N6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BA) and α-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The maximum response was obtained with 2.22 μM 6-BA, and produced 21.33 shoots per explant after four weeks. After five subcultures, multiple shoot clumps were transferred to MS basal medium supplemented with various combinations of 3-Indolebutyric acid (IBA), NAA and sucrose for root induction. After four weeks, plantlets with well-developed roots were achieved on MS basal medium supplemented with 0.54 μM NAA and 30 g/L sucrose with 100% rooting rate. The successfully acclimated plantlets were transferred to pots with the addition of 2 g/L KMnO4 into the soils, and finally fertile plants with much bigger leaves were obtained in the greenhouse. The survival rate was 97.33%.
