Abstract
Whole plant cultures of Centella asiatica (L.) Urban in vitro were established and the effects of basal media, some macro elements and sucrose concentration on productivity of triterpene glycosides (madecassoside and asiaticoside: M$\varepsilon$A) were investigated. Among the media (MS, B5, RCM) tested, MS and 0.5 RCM medium were the best for plant growth and M$\varepsilon$A production, respectively. However, taking into account the M$\varepsilon$A productivity, B5 medium was superior (M$\varepsilon$A: 14.28 mg/g dry wt.). Major macronutrients of B5 medium adjusted with the concentration of 25 mM KNO$_3$,1 mM NaH$_2$PO$_4$, 1 mM CaCl$_2$ and 1~10 mM MgSO$_4$, caused elevated or optimized levels of M$\varepsilon$A. On sucrose concentration, the highest yields of M$\varepsilon$A were obtained from 6% sucrose.
