Abstract:

      We investigated growth of growing point, differentiation of growing buds, rooting and transplantation of tube seedling for the tender stem of  Elsholtzia ciliata. We further successfully invented a rapid propagation technology for Elsholtzia ciliate. Results show that the optimal media is 1/3MS+KT 0.1 mg·L^-1+IAA 0.1 mg·L^-1 for the growth of growing point, MS+6-BA 0.6 mg·L^-1+NAA 0.1 mg·L^-1 for differentiation of growing buds and White+IBA 0.1 mg·L^-1+IAA 0.3 mg·L^-1 for the rooting of growing differentiated buds, continuative rooting cultivation of tube seedling and rapid propagation.

Key words: Elsholtzia ciliata, tissue cultivation, clone
