| Abstract: | Houttuynia cordata is one of the most potential
medicinal and edible wild herb whose resources have decreased sharply due to
excessive exploitation. Besides its slow agamic propagation, problems of
browning and non-dedifferentiation have prevented the application of
micropropagation in H. cordata.
Through 4 week pre-culture in darkness and wounding after 1 week pre-culture,
the browning rate of leaf explants decreased significantly and resulted in
efficient regeneration (20.64 ± 5.94 adventitious buds per explant) on the
induction medium. The protocol shall facilitate conservation and commercial
cultivation of the endangered species. |
