Abstract:
In this study, the stem with buds, stem apex and rhizome with buds of Smilax china in different seasons were selected as materials to explore the best method to induce the multiple shoots of S. china by tissue culture with MS medium. Synchronously, different methods of disinfecting explants, anti-browning treatment, adding different kinds and concentrations of plant growth regulating substances to induce cluster buds were also studied.The results showed that the best explant of S. china was stem with buds which collected in spring.The best disinfection method was soaking in 75% alcohol for 30 s and treating with 0.1% Hg for 7 min. The best medium for inducing cluster buds was MS + 6-BA(2 mg·L
-1) + NAA(0.1 mg·L
-1), and the treatment with PVP(2 g·L
-1) for 20 min could effectively control the browning of explants.
