Abstract: Pinellia ternate(Thunb.)Breit. is a kind of Chinese medical herbs which is commonly used in China. The developing of relative medical industry has led to a dramatic decreasing of the amount of wild Pinellia ternate. The lack of the seeds resource and quality degradation of the seeds are the main reasons that Pinellia ternata hasn’t been planted in large scale. The latest progress is summarized about the establishment of rapid propagation system of Pinellia ternate. The elements, which have crucial effects on tissue culture, including materials, culture mediums, additive and cultural approaches are analyzed. This article preliminarily discusses some relative questions of tissue culture and presents the future developing prospect of the artificial seeds.
