Tissue culture of Gynura segetum / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Object To study the callus culture of Gynura segetum (Lour.) Merr., so as to lay the foundation for the rapid propagation of its breeds.Methods The explants used in culture were root, stem and leaf of G. segerum. The MS basal medium containing different plant hormones was applied. Results The best explants were leaf of G. segetum. The medium induced callus was MS basal medium containing 1 0 mg/L NAA and 4 0 mg/L 6 BA and the callus induction rate was 64% . The sprouting rate of the callus transplanted to fitting differential medium was 86 7%.Conclusion The rapid propagation of G. segetum can be carried out by inducing callus of the plant.
