石刁柏及党参体细胞胚发生中的淀粉代谢动态

Somatic embryos were induced from tender stem of Asparagus officinalis and underground stem of Codonopsis pilosula. Starch change was studied by PAS during somatic embryogenesis. Results indicated that there were two peaks of starch accumulation during the process of somatic embryogenesis, one was at mature embryonic cells, the other was before the differentiation of somatic embryos.
