On the Growth Kinetics and Diosgenin Production of Cultured Cells of Peltate Yam (Dioscorea zingiberensis ) / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Growth kinetics and diosgenin production by Dioscorea zingiberensis cells under suspension culture were studied. Effect of different culture media and hormones on the yield of diosgenin and growth of callus were compared. The results may provide a scientific basis for the selection of optimum condition for continuous cell culture of D. zingiberensis.
