METHOD FOR PROMOTING PROLIFERATION OF CULTURED PLANT

摘要

PURPOSE:To quickly and efficiently promote the differentiation of shoot and to enable the production of a large amount of genetically uniform seedlings in a short time by treating a plant tissue with a solution of a water-soluble silver salt and culturing the tissue in a medium containing polyvinyl pyrrolidone. CONSTITUTION:A plant tissue such as embryoid, protocorm, rhizome or callus is treated with a solution of a water-soluble silver salt (preferably silver nitrate) and cultured in a medium containing polyvinyl pyrrolidone to promote the proliferation of the plant body.
