Rapid propagation of Schisandra chinensis / 中草药

Objective: To develop a rapid propagation of Sehisandra chinensis. Methods: The tissue culture of S. chinensis was studied by orthogonal test and the media for the rapid propagation of S. chinensis were optimized. Results: When NAA 0.3, ZT 0.1, and 6-BA 1.5 mg/L were added in the MS, the best rate of bud proliferation was obtained, while the NAA 0.2 mg/L was added, the best rooting was got. The optimal cultural contion is mat temperature is 25 °C, light intensity 2 000 lx, and photoperiod 12 h. Conclusion: The optimal media and cultural condition in the test could be used to improve the yield and output, as well as quality of S. chinensis.
