RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To identify tetraploid Isatis indigotica strains through morphology and flow cytometry. METHODS: The tissue culture seedlings of tetraploid Isatis indigotica were root-tip squashed and chromosome counted before rooted climatized and transplanted in field. The plants in field were taken as experimental materials. Macroscopic observation was applied to identify by form and structure; Free-hand section was used to observe the length, width and density of stomas; And flow cytometry was applied to identify the ploidy. RESULTS: Compared with diploid plants, tetraploid plants had obvious changes in form and structure. The stomas from the tetraploid were notably longer, and the number of guard cells in chloroplasts was remarkably larger. The experiment materials were proved to be tetraploid by flow cytometry. CONCLUSION: The materials are tetraploid plants. Macroscopic observation, the length of stoma and the number of guard cells in chloroplasts can be taken as aided identification for ploidy of mutagenesis materials. Meanwhile, flow cytometry can be applied to identify the ploidy of Isatis indigotica.

OBJECTIVE: To provide a reference evidence for choosing salt-resistent and drought-resistent varieties of Isatis indigotica Fort.. METHODS: The tissue culture seedlings of different Isatis indigotica tetraploids were used as plant materials. The diploid was used as CK, which were cultured for 30 days. 2 g/L NaCl and 15% PEG-6000 were used as stress treatment respectively for 12 hours, then poured out the solution, the materials were continuously cultured for 7 days. The contents of indirubin and indigotin were determined by HPLC. RESULTS: The contents of indigotin and indirubin of DB3, DB5 and DB12 with PEG treatment and DB2, DB3 and DB12 with NaCl treatment were increased. CONCLUSION: DB3 and DB12 can be further studied as reproduction materials.
