Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Progression of somatic embryos from globular to cotyledonary stages was most effectively enhanced by 1.0 mg l -1 ABA.
- Observation Cotyledonary embryos of Codonopsis pilosula showed a high germination rate (86 %) on full strength MS medium without added growth regulators.
- Observation Regenerated Codonopsis pilosula plantlets exhibited a 100 % survival rate during acclimatization on agricultural soil and perlite mixture.
- Observation Histological analysis confirmed indirect somatic embryogenesis in Codonopsis pilosula.
- Observation Regenerated Codonopsis pilosula plants retained the same ploidy level as the mother plants.
- Observation Chlorophyll contents and photosynthetic performance of regenerated Codonopsis pilosula plants were equivalent to those of mother plants.
- Observation FT-NIR profiles showed similar chemical spectra between the roots and leaves of Codonopsis pilosula.
