High frequency somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration of interspecific ginseng hybrid between Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolius

Abstract

BACKGROUND: progenies are complete male sterile. Plant tissue culture technology can circumvent the issue and propagate the hybrid. METHODS: plants were verified by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analyses and by LC-IT-TOF-MS. RESULTS: ), and higher amount of other ginsenosides than its parents. CONCLUSION: Micropropagation of interspecific hybrid ginseng can give an opportunity for continuous production of plants.
