Summary:The cultivation includes the following processes successively: 1. Before blooming, tender ephedra intermedia branches as inoculation material are cut down, washed and disinfected with 0.2% mercury chloride solution for 8 minutes; 2. Tender branch sections are dark-cultured in inducible culture medium inside growth cabinet; 3. Embryonal callus produced during inducible culture is cut down for two-step subculture; 4. EC is placed in LC subculture medium for the first step of subculture; and 5. Yellowish EC produced is placed in LC medium for the second step of subculture.
