A high yeild strain of the medicinal plant Pinellia ternata was cultivated under the artificial light condition where the air temperature and humidity were controlled at constant level, and the time-course of the corm growth and changes in the content of the effective ingredient were investigated. Although the corm size and corm yield increased with the length of the cultivation period, dry matter ratio showed no significant difference among each harvest time. The increase in the amount of effective ingredient per 1 mg of dried corm appeared to increase with the corm growth, however, little difference was observed between those of corms cultivated for 11 and 15 w. Thus, the effective ingredient content in the corm may not increase after 11 w cultivation.

The medical plant Pinellia ternata which were gathered from all over Japan were researched the ratio of fluorescence intensity, pollen diameter and germination rate of pollen. It was found that there is a divergence of polyploidy. However, no correlation was suggested among the ratio of fluorescence intensity, pollen diameter, and germination rate of pollen.

A high yeild strain of the medicinal plant Pinellia ternata was cultivated under the artificial light condition and the corm growth and quality were compared with the corms obtained from the plants grown under the natural light condition. Plants grown under the artificial light produced the similar corm yield with the similar quality to the plants grown under the natural light..

Temperature effects on the growth of the medicinal plant Pinellia ternata were examined under the air temperatures of 20, 25, and 30℃. The highest yield of the tuber was observed in Kyoto strain grown under 25℃, and the content of the effective ingredient was higher than that of the raw drag on the market.

6. Eguchi, T., Hiroyuki Tanaka, Satoshi YOSHIDA, Ken Matsuoka, Influence of Ground Water Level on the Growth of the Medicinal Plant Pinellia ternata Breit. in a Solid Substrate Culture System, The International Conference on Plant Factory 2014, 2014.11, Many crude drugs used in Kampo medicines in Japan represent untapped medicinal resources. Domestication of the wild plants from which these drugs are derived and preservation of their natural habitats are necessary for establishing a stable supply of Kampo medicines. Here, we investigated the influence of the moisture condition of root medium on the growth of Pinellia ternata Breit. by using a sub-irrigation solid substrate culture system. The moisture condition was controlled by maintaining a constant ground water level (GWL). Plants were grown for 15 weeks under a GWL of either 4 cm (GWL-4) or 8 cm (GWL-8) below the corm base in a phytotron glass room at 25°C and 70% relative humidity. The water content of the root media around the corm in GWL-4 was only 1% higher than that in GWL-8. However, water content apparently affected corm enlargement and the development of new bulbils. Relative yield of the corm per plant, compared with the initial weight, was ~400% in GWL-4 and ~200% in GWL-8. The number of bulbils produced in a plant was 13.5 in GWL-4 and 4.4 in GWL-8. The effective ingredient, a kind of water-soluble polysaccharide consisting mainly of arabinose, was about 10% higher in GWL-8 corms than in GWL-4 corms. Moreover, when comparing the two conditions, the relative difference in corm yield was remarkably larger than that observed for the effective ingredient content. Overall, productivity was considered to be higher in GWL-4 than in GWL-8..
