摘要

Spathiphyllum wallisii, a widely admired ornamental plant, is renowned for its beauty and air-purifying abilities, making it a prominent candidate for tissue culture propagation. Although significant progress has been made in Spathiphyllum micropropagation, the potential of protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) for both propagation and mid-term conservation remains underexplored. In this study, we investigated the effects of varying concentrations of MS medium and sucrose on PLB preservation using slow-growth storage over a 12-month period. Additionally, we optimized PLB proliferation by testing different concentrations of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) and adenine sulphate (ADS). Our findings revealed that 1/4-strength and 1/8-strength MS media without sucrose were most effective for PLB preservation, maintaining viability while minimizing medium darkening and basal browning throughout the 12-month period. For PLB proliferation, 30 mg/L ADS facilitated the highest shoot regeneration and PLB production during the first month. After two months, the optimal concentrations of AgNO₃ (1–2 mg/L) significantly enhanced PLB multiplication, shoot formation, and root development, while reducing browning and mortality. These results highlight the potential of Spathiphyllum PLBs as a sustainable platform for tissue culture propagation and mid-term conservation. This method is particularly valuable for maintaining stock cultures in large-scale propagation, with promising applications in ornamental horticulture.
