3 1 INTRODUCTION 1. The necessity of the dissertation Ngoc Linh ginseng is a Vietnamese endemic ginseng with the scientific name Panax vietnamensis Ha et Grushv. Since discovered in 1973, it can be said that Ngoc Linh ginseng is one of the most important medicinal plants. Many reports indicated that Ngoc Linh ginseng has not only the pharmacological characteristics of a Ginseng, but also the individual characteristics such as anti-stress, decrease of depression and anxiety, stimulation of the immune system, resistance to cytotoxic toxins, antioxidant in vitro and in vivo, etc. The success of propagation of Ngoc Linh ginseng is still limited because this species is only grown on Ngoc Linh mountain. To harvest gingseng roots, the propagation period lasts 6 to 7 years to store enough bioactivities. Our thesis entitled "Regeneration and micropropagation of Ngoc Linh ginseng (Panax vietnamensis Ha et Grushv.) using thin cell layer technique" has been carried out. The aim of this study is to obtain a number of vigorous plantlets with and high quality roots and tubers, especially, they are well adapted to the natural conditions, thereby contributing to preserving this precious medicinal plant. 2. Objective The objective of the study was to find the explant resources, the type and concentration of plant growth regulators (), as well as the in vitro culture conditions suitable for different morphogenesis processes - callus induction, direct embryogenesis, shoot and root formation, etc. The growth and development of in vitro Ngoc Linh ginseng derived from thin cell layer (TCL) was examined in Quang Nam to assess the adaptability of in vitro Ngoc Linh plantlets in its natural territory, compared to those growing in Bidoup - Nui Ba National Park, Lam Dong. 3. The contents of the thesis 3.1. Research on the morphogenesis from different explant resources 3.2. Research on growth and subsequent development of plantlets in vitro in different ecological conditions 3.3. Qualitative and quantitative saponin in plant in vitro and at nursery. CHAPTER I OVERVIEW The thesis has consulted 34 Vietnamese documents and 94 English documents and 2 internet documents; (1) Introduction to ginseng; (2) Ngoc Linh ginseng (Panax vietnamensis Ha et Grushv.); (3) cell culture technology; (4) factors influencing morphogenesis; (5) plant growth regulators; (6) the role of light in the regeneration, growth and development of plants; (7) The plant regeneration.

25 Quantification of saponins in vitro and ex vitro in Ngoc Linh ginseng Quantification of saponins in vitro in Ngoc Linh ginseng after 6 months, 12 months and 24 months The thin layer chromatographic analysis revealed that samples of Ngoc Linh ginseng were derived from thin cell layer culture (in vitro ginseng, 6-month-old ginseng, 1-year-old and 2-year-old ginseng) There are three saponins Rg1, Rb1, MR2 when the plates run on chloroform: methanol: water = 65:35:10. This proves that in vitro and ex vitro cultures of Ngoc Linh ginseng have full presence of all three types of Rg1, Rb1, MR2. Thus, the qualitative results show that the samples contained saponins Quantification of saponins in vitro Ngoc Linh ginseng after 6 months, 12 months and 24 months Table Saponin content of in vitro and ex vitro Ngoc Linh ginseng Samples Rg 1 Rb 1 MR 2 Total 1 (in vitro plants) (6-month-old plants) (1-year-old plants) (2-year-old plants) CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION 1. Conclusion The leaf sample ttcl_l gave the highest embryogenesis (89.6%, 29 cotyledonary emgryos per explant) when explants were cultured on medium supplemented with 2 mg/l NAA under 16-hour light conditions. ltcl_c, ttcl_l were cultured in 1.0 and 2.0 mg/l 2,4-D supplementation in light and dark conditions for the highest callogenesis rate (97,98%). ttcl_r cultured on medium supplemented with 2 mg/l NAA in dark conditions resulted in rooting rate of 98.8% and 21.7 roots / sample. The highest shoot regeneration rate of 42% was found when ttcl_r was cultured on medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/l TDZ in combination with 0.2 mg/l 2,4-D under light conditions. ttcl_l, ttcl_c and ltcl_c, and ttcl_r were cultured on medium supplemented with 2,4-D and BA or TDZ at different concentrations under light conditions and in the darkness gave high callogenesis rate. The embryos obtained in all treatments showed not to be different in they are in global, heart, torpedo shapes and dicotyledons.

26 24 The cotyledons transferred onto SH medium supplemented with 1 mg/l BA, 0.5 mg/l NAA, 50 g/l sucrose, 9 g/l agar, 1 g/l activated charcoal under illumination at 16h/day, all plants induced rhizomes, well developed leaves, normal leaf morphology and same structure as the plants growing in natural habitats. In addition, 10,000 in vitro plantlets were also collected from the study; Plantlets cultivated in Ngoc Linh Moutain (Quang Nam province) gave the highest survival rate (90%) after 6 months and new leaf formation rate (87%) after 1.5 years compared to plantlets cultivated in Bidoup - Nui Ba National Park, Lam Dong province (70%, 30%; respectively). Especially, 2 year-old plants (cultivated in Quang Nam province) have a microrhizomes (100%) and tends to grow into bushes. The total saponin content was highest when 2-year-old plants grew on Ngoc Linh mountain (3.54%). 2. Recomandation Further investigating effect of the explant types and how to place them on media on the morphogenesis. Further monitoring growth parameters and analyze the saponin content accumulated in Ngoc Linh ginseng derived from thin layer cell culture at different ages. THESIS CONTRIBUTIONS Previous studies on Ngoc Linh ginseng mainly arise based on indirect morphogenesis via callus that extends the culture time and reduces economic efficiency. Application of thin-layer cell culture (TCL) technique to morphogenesis on in vitro explants (leaf, pedicle, and rhizome) of the in vitro Ngoc Linh ginseng will give direct embryogenesis, adventitious shoots and roots, and callus. This will be a new effective method for regenerating Ngoc Linh ginseng in vitro. - Identification of appropriate culture medium for the ability to generate embryos from leaves, shoot regeneration from rhizomes to serve for propagation. - From this sudy, 10,000 Ngoc Linh plantlets were collected from in vitro embryogenesis with an ability of developing well in natural conditions (Ngoc Linh mountain in Quang Nam province and the Heaven Gate in Bidoup - Nui Ba National Park, Lam Dong Province). - Establishment of the protocol in Ngoc Linh ginseng propogation from TCL culture technology and increase the survival of embryos derived from TCL.
