Studies on the Callus Culture of garlic and the Formation of Alliin

마늘의 Callus 배양과 Alliin 생성에 관한연구

This is study was conducted to find out the effect of various plant hormones on the growth of garlic callus and to determine the effects of sulfur and nitrogen on the formation of alliin. The following results were obtained. The callus was grown effectively on the basal Linsmainer and skoog medium supplemented with 10-6M of kinetin and 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. When alliin produced by callus were extracted and identified by PPC allin appeared to have Rf value 0.21 in PPC which was exactly same as standard and it gave a deep red colar by Grot's reagent. The highest amount of alliin which is produced in callus culture was 270mg per 100g of dry weight in the basal Linsmaier and Skoog medium supplemented with 100% of NO3 as a nitrogen source.
