The effects of hormones on callus proliferation were also studied. The results show that the optimum medium for callus induction of C. paliurus leaves was MS ＋ 1.0 mg.L-1 6-BA ＋ 0.5 mg.L-1 NAA ＋ 1.0 mg·L-1 2,4-D. The combination of 6-BA and NAA significantly affected the induction of callus, while the effect of 2,4-D was less. The maximum rate of callus induction was 95.4%. A 10-day darkness period was beneficial for callus induction. The best proliferation medium was 1/4 DKW ＋ 0.5 mg·L-1 6-BA ＋ 1.0 mg·L-1 2,4-D.展开更多
