Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The pistil tissue of the saffron are used many as a crude drug, fragrance, dye, food. Great labor is necessary to harvest a large quantity of pistils. The flowering plants with 15 cm-long floral axes were used to prepare explants for culture, the explants produced pistil-like structures (PLS) at the cut edge of the explant. Furthermore, the light transmission method enabled the selection of the part suitable for PLS production from a floral axes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまで、サフランの柱頭組織(めしべ)を収穫するためには、広大な面積の栽培と多大な労力が必要であったが、今回明らかにした植物培養技術によって柱頭様組織を大量かつ安定かつ大量に供給できる可能性を示した。また、光透過選抜法は花茎組織から柱頭様組織の分化に必要な適切な部分を選抜するための技術となる。
