Abstract:
Browning of explants may be easily induced by various factors during tissue culture of medicinal plants, which not only affects the vitality of explants, but also inhibits the callus induction and regeneration, blocking quick accumulation seriously of active components and survival rate of tissue culture. Therefore, it would be important to develop a fast, effective, safe, and economic browning restraining method. This paper reviewed the status, mechanism, and impact factors of the medicinal plants browning and effective anti-browning measures, expecting to provide the scientific references for development of anti-beowning measures. Meanwhile, we prospect anti-browning technologies in the tissue culture of medicinal plants.
