약용식물로 쓰이는 선피막이 (Hydrocotyle maritima Honda)를 기내에서 재분화 가능성에 대해 조사하였다. 선피막이의 엽병 절편체를 식물생장조절제 ($0{sim}5;mg/l$, NAA와 $0{sim}5;mg/l$ 2,4-D)가 단독 또는 $0.1{sim}2;mg/l$ BA와 조합 첨가된 배지 에서 6주동안 배양하였다. 2,4-D 또는 NAA을 단독으로 처리해도 캘러스가 발생하나, 가장 좋은 결과는 각각 $0{sim}5;mg/l$ BA, $5;mg/l$ NAA와 $0.5;mg/l$ BA조합구에서 나타났다. Kinetin를 $3;mg/l$로 처리시 캘러스로부터 가장 많은 신초 (캘러스당 12개)을 발생시켰다. 또한, $0.5;mg/l$ 2,4-D와 $0.5;mg/l$ BA가 첨가된 배지에서 유도된 배 발생 캘러스를 호르몬이 없는 배지에서 배양하였을 때, 체세포 배가 분화되었고, 식물체로 더 잘 발달하였다.
Hydrocotyle maritima Honda used as medicinal plants for a hemostatic agent was investigated for in vitro regeneration. The petiole explants of H. maritima were cultured on callus induction medium containing growth regulators ($0{sim}5;mg/l$, NAA and $0{sim}5;mg/l$ 2,4-D) either in single or in combination with $0.1{sim}2;mg/l$ BA for 6 weeks. Although single treatments of 2,4-D or NAA resulted in callus formation, the best results were combination of $0.5;mg/l$, 2,4-D and $0.5;mg/l$, BA. $5;mg/l$, NAA and $0.5;mg/l$, BA, respectively. The highest number of shoot (12 shoots per callus) was achieved with $3;mg/l$, Kinetin. Also, when pieces of embryogenic callus induced on the medium supplemented with $0.5;mg/l$, 2,4-D and $0.5;mg/l$, BA were subcultured on hormone-free medium, somatic embryos were differentiated and developed further into welldeveloped plants.
