[Tissue culture and rapid propagation of Phytolacca americana]

To explore the technique of rapid propagation for Phytolacca americana.

Aseptic seedling were used as explants.

The best explants were the stems from strong aseptic seedling. The optimal culture media were MS + NAA (0.2 mg/L) +6-BA (1.0 mg/L) for primarily culture, MS + NAA (0.2 mg/L) +6-BA (2.0 mg/L) for the induction of clustered shoots 1/2MS with NAA 0.4 mg/L for rooting.

The propagating coefficient of Phytolacca americana can be improved by inducing the clustered shoots from aseptic seedling.
