Abstract: The different explants of Chinese yam, different antioxidants in medium and culture method were tested in this study. The results showed that different explants’ degree of browning were different, the browning degree of stem was the lightest; Adding 150mg/L PVP to MS medium could prevent browning effectively, Using the method of liquid medium in rapid propagation could reduce the degree of browning and improve the survival rate of plants obviously.
