PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently proliferating a plant belonging to the genus Imperata such as cogon and a method for re-differentiating the same.SOLUTION: This method for proliferating the plant belonging to the genus Imperata is characterized by comprising a proliferation process of proliferating a multiple shoot callus of the plant belonging to the genus Imperata in a medium added with a combination of 2,4-D and BAP. The method for proliferating the plant belonging to the genus Imperata described in claim 1 is characterized by comprising a process of re-differentiating a plant body by culturing the proliferated multiple shoot callus in a medium added with a combination of gibberellin and kinetin to re-differentiate the plant body.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】チガヤ等のチガヤ属を効率的に増殖できるチガヤ属の増殖方法及び再分化方法を提供すること。【解決手段】チガヤ属の多芽体カルスを、2,4-D及びBAPを組み合わせて添加した培地で増殖する増殖工程を含むことを特徴とするチガヤ属の増殖方法。増殖された前記多芽体カルスを、ジベレリン及びカイネチンを組み合わせて添加した培地にて培養し、植物体再分化させる植物体再分化工程を含むことを特徴とする請求項1記載のチガヤ属の増殖方法。【選択図】図1
