title: [Studies on calluses induced from various explants of Cistanche deserticola].
abstract: Calluses were induced from various explants (flower, stem, bud and squama) of Cistanche deserticola Y.C.Ma and compared with each other. The result showed that the inducement rate of ovary and stem were higher than that of other explants which the inducement time was short and the characters of calluses were good. The effect of basal culture medium added hormone on callus reproduction was also studied. The result showed that B5 culture medium added 1 mg/L IBA and 2 mg/L 6-BA was optimal.
