title: [Tissue culture and rapid propagation of Phytolacca americana].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the technique of rapid propagation for Phytolacca americana.
  
  
  METHODS
  Aseptic seedling were used as explants.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The best explants were the stems from strong aseptic seedling. The optimal culture media were MS + NAA (0.2 mg/L) +6-BA (1.0 mg/L) for primarily culture, MS + NAA (0.2 mg/L) +6-BA (2.0 mg/L) for the induction of clustered shoots 1/2MS with NAA 0.4 mg/L for rooting.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The propagating coefficient of Phytolacca americana can be improved by inducing the clustered shoots from aseptic seedling.
