Method for increasing effective component content of Echinacea sp. adventitious root by elicitor treatment

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for culturing an adventitious root of a plant of the genus Echinacea with an increased content of useful components, comprising the steps of: sterilizing the plant of the genus Echinacea; inducing and propagating the adventitious root from a petiole explant of the sterilized plant of the genus Echinacea; and culturing the adventitious root by treating the adventitious root with an attractant in a bioreactor. The method of the present invention can produce an adventitious root of Echinacea with enhanced content of useful components by attractant treatment, and thus can increase the utility of Echinacea.
