Abstract:A stable cell suspension culture was established with callus that was induced from the ripe pith of Lycium barbarum L. The protoplasts were cultured in KM liquid medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/L 6_BA, 0.5 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L 2,4_D. The protoplasts started to divide after 3~4 days. The frequency determined at 7 day
s was 50.3%, and cell colonies were formed after about 15 days. Microcalli could be observed in 3~4 weeks. The plating efficiency was 1.25%. Eight to seven days after the microcalli were transferred into the liquid proliferation medium (MS+1.5 mg/L 6_B+0.2 mg/L 2,4_D), a large amount of embryoids appeared on the calli. The embryonic calli were then moved on to a solid medium (MS+ 6-BA 0.2 mg/L) and green buds appeared. The frequency of shoot formation was 54.17%. The shoot rooted in the rooting medium (MS+NAA 0.2 mg/L) and the whole plants were transplanted into pots and grew well.
