[Technique on artificial seeds of Pinellia ternata].
OBJECTIVE
To study the technique on artificial seeds of Pinellia ternata.


METHODS
Microtubers were used as materials. Sodium alginate or chitosan, with GA3, penicillin, streptomycin sulphate, sodium benzoate, badistan, CuCl2, NiCl and CoCl2 added to were used as seed vessel. The seeds were cultured respectively under artificial conditions and natural conditions.


CONCLUSIONS
The sodium alginate (3%) and chitosan (2%) added with GA3 (0.1 mg x L(-1)), badistan (0.3%), sodium benzoate (0.2%), Ca2+ (0.05%), Ni+ (0.05%) added to, were used as artificial seed vessel, and the germination rate was over 95% and the seedling rate was over 90%.
