[Comparative analysis on effective compositions from tissue-cultured and wild Sophora tonkinensis].

The qualitative analysis of the effective composition, matrine and oxymatrine in tissue-cultured and wild Sophora tonkinsis was done through thin-layer chromatography. The results showed that the tissue-cultured plants were almost as same as the wild plants in the ability to bio-synthesize matrine and oxymatrine. So, the tissue-cultured plants could be used as planting materials for artificial cultivation.
