Abstract:
The effects of medium concentration on callus growth and the accumulation of chlorogenic acid and flavonoids of
Eucommia ulmoides were investigated. The treatments were designed in B
5 medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L NAA + 0.5 mg/L BA.The results showed that the callus growth was increased when KNO
3 content was increased,whereas chlorogenic acid and flavonoids contents were highest when KNO
3 concentration was 2/3 of original amount in B
5 medium.The 4/3 content of (NH
4)
2SO
4 in B
5 medium were best for the callus growth and flavonoids content and yield, whereas chlorogenic acid content was highest when (NH
4)
2SO
4 content was 1/3 of original amount in B
5 medium.The callus growth was highest when MgSO
4 concentration was 2/3,whereas chlorogenic acid and flavonoids contents were highest when MgSO
4 content was 1/3 in B
5 medium. The original content of NaH
2PO
4,CaCl
2 and MnSO
4 in B
5 medium were best for the callus growth and the accumulation of chlorogenic acid and flavonoids. The contents of ZnSO
4 and FeSO
4 in B
5 medium was best for the callus growth but chlorogenic acid and flavonoids contents was highest when ZnSO
4 and FeSO
4 concentration was 1/3 in B
5 medium.
