[Callus induction of Cinnamonum camphora and formation of borneol].
OBJECTIVE
To optimize the condition of callus of Cinnamonum camphora induced.


METHODS
GC and plant tissue culture method were applied in the study.


RESULTS
The effect of callus induced and the growth of callus were different in MS medium with different proportion of hormone. The ration of callus induced was the highest and the growth of callus was the most prosperous in the MS medium with 4 mg x L(-1) 2,4-D and 0.2 mg x L(-1) 6-BA. It is found that callus induced by young leaf contained borneol, but callus induced by young stem not.


CONCLUSIONS
The optimization of callus of C. camphora induced is using the MS medium with 4 mg x L(-1) 2,4-D + 0.2 mg x L(-1) 6-BA. Callus induced by young leaf can generate borneol.
