Methyl Jasmonate Enhances Saponin Accumulation in Cultured <i>Panax notoginseng</i> Adventitious Roots.

ABSTRACT: Panax notoginseng is a valuable medicinal herb, but its sustainable production is constrained by long cultivation cycles and continuous cropping obstacles. Adventitious root culture presents a viable alternative. This study establishes a robust and sustainable platform for the efficient production of ginsenosides in P. notoginseng adventitious root cultures. We first systematically optimized the culture system, identifying leaf segments as the optimal explant due to their high callus induction rate (95.77%), low contamination, and renewable nature. Combined with optimized bioprocess parameters (3 g/L inoculation density, 50 g/L sucrose), this strategy addressed key practical bottlenecks. Beyond methodological advancement, our research provides novel mechanistic insights into
