[A comparison of tissue formation and the content of polysaccharide between wild and cultured Dendrobium candidum].
OBJECTIVE
To compare the tissue formation and the content of polysaccharide between the wild Dendrobium candidum and the cultured ones and to find any existed differences.


METHODS
Bare-handed microtomy and photomicrography; The content of polysaccharide is determined by phenol-sulphuric acid method.


CONCLUSIONS
There are no marked noticeable differences between the wild D. candidum and the cultured ones in terms of the tissure formation and the content of polysaccharide.
