Abstract:

Buckwheat stem and leafstalk explants were subjected to callus induction and cell suspension culture. The accumulation of total flavonoids in various explants during the cell suspension culture was compared. Results showed that buckwheat leafstalk callus revealed a total flavonoids content of 58.80 mg/g, which was 3.1 and 3.7 times higher than that in buckwheat leafstalk and stem, respectively, and the total flavonoids content in cell suspension cultures was as high as 90.6 mg/g, which was 1.54 times higher than that in buckwheat leafstalk callus.

Key words: tissue culture, microwave, ultrasonic
