Studies on Tissue Culture of Perilla frutescens var. acuta(I)

자소(紫蘇)의 조직배양에 관한 연구(I)

Callus was derived from the leaves of Perilla frutescens var. acuta which is commonly cultivated in Korea. It has been found that the light decreased the growth rate of the callus but rather increased the contents of essential oils. The addition of one ppm of 1-naphthyl acetic acid and 5ppm of kinetin in the medium caused the increased production of essential oils.
