ABSTRACT
Objective To provide a scientific basis for the creation and promotion of the rapid propagation of excellent Bupleurum chinense and study on botanical characters of test-tube plantlets and seed plantlets in B.chinense.Methods B.chinense with high effective medicinal ingredients and great stability of genetic characters was selected for rapid propagation,and some of botaninal characters between test-tube plantlets and seed plantlets were compared.Results The tiller number,the branch stem number,and the inflorescence number of the test-tube plantlets were significantly greater than those in seed plantlets.Conclusion Through the rapid propagation and the large-scale cultivation of test-tube plantlets of B.chinense,much more roots and seeds are obtained comparing with those of seed plantlets,while maintaining the excellent traits of B.chinense.
