Effect of salicylic acid on cell growth and polysaccharide production in suspension cultures of protocorm-like bodies from Dendrobium huoshanense
水杨酸对霍山石斛类原球茎细胞生长及多糖合成的影响

Polysaccharides from Dendrobium huoshanense possess immunostimulating activity, antioxidant activity and anticataract activity. In order to produce the active polysaccharides from Dendrobium huoshanense through cell culture, we investigated the effects of salicylic acid on cell growth, accumulation of polysaccharides and utilization of carbon source in suspension cultures of protocorm-like bodies from Dendrobium huoshanense. Although salicylic acid slightly inhibited the cell growth, it was beneficial to th...
