The invention discloses a
tissue culture method for
Aristolochia heterophylla.
Aristolochia heterophylla is an Aristolochiaceae
plant and can be harvested in the four seasons, preferably in autumn. After the root of
Aristolochia heterophylla is dug out,
silt and fibrous roots on the root of Aristolochia heterophylla are removed; then the root is dried to a semi-dry state in the sun; and if the root has a
diameter of 2.5 cm or more, the root is halved and dried in the sun. The
drug properties of Aristolochia heterophylla are that the root of Aristolochia heterophylla is cylindrical, has light brown or light brown-yellow cortex, and has a light grayish yellow color after the cortex is peeled; Aristolochia heterophylla is firm and not prone to breakage; a broken surface is uneven and spinous; a cross section is offwhite to yellow white; and Aristolochia heterophylla is mealy and has thick cortex and bitter and slightly
astringent taste. Aristolochia heterophylla mainly comprises
aristolochic acid, beta-sitosterol,
magnoflorine,
allantoin, etc. Aristolochia heterophylla is mainly used for dispelling wind, promoting
urination, eliminating dampness and easing pain and applied to treatment of oedema in the head, face, arms and legs and pain in the
waist and the knee joints. According to the invention, an Aristolochia heterophylla stem with a
bud is used as an explant and subjected to
bud induction,
bud proliferation culture, rooting culture,
domestication,
transplanting and the like so as to realize in-vitro regeneration of Aristolochia heterophylla; so the
tissue culture method provides
technical support for
mass breeding, rapid propagation and novel species promotion of Aristolochia heterophylla.
