title: [The tissue culture of medicinal plant Trichosanthes kirilowii and its protein analysis].
abstract: We reported preliminary results of rapid propagation, callus induction and regeneration of Trichosanthes Kirilowii, and its protein analysis. Pre-existing meristerms regenerate shoots very rapidly when grown on MS medium containing 0.5 or 1.0 mg/L 6-BA; calli could be induced from leaf sections when put on MS medium containing 4.0 mg/L 6-BA + 0.2 mg/L IAA; shoots regenerated successfully 30 days after calli induction and the differentiation ratio was one shoot out of every four leaf sections; and all shoots gave rise to roots after removing onto MS medium containing 0.1 mg/L NAA and 100% survived when transplanted into soil. Very excitingly, these plants produced small tubers in one month, where satisfactory expression of TCS protein was detected by Western blot analysis.
