Atractylodes spp.: In Vitro Culture and the Evaluation of Micropropagated Plants for Sesquiterpenes and Acetylenic Compounds

  • Chapter
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants V

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 24))

Abstract

The genus Atractylodes belongs to the family Asteraceae and comprises eight species of perennial herbs distributed in East Asia (Willis 1973): A. japonica Koidz. ex Kitam. in Japan, Korea, and China; A. koreana Kitam. (A. lancea var. simplicifolia Kitam.) (Noda 1981) in Korea and China; A. lancea DC., A. chinensis Koidz. (A. lancea DC. var. chinensis Kitam.), A. ovata DC. (A. macrocephala Koidz.) and a few other species in China (Beijing Institute of Botany 1975; Gotoh et al. 1988). They grow wild, and some of them are cultivated in these countries as medicinal plants. Figure 1 shows A. lancea at the flowering stage. Flowers of Atractylodes are mostly (Institute of Materia Medica 1979) or entirely (Beijing Institute of Botany 1975) unisexual, and interspecific hybridization occurs (Yoshioka et al. 1976; Yasue 1981; Gotoh et al. 1988; Song and Zheng 1989).
