Abstract

Salvia miltiorrhiza is a well-known medicinal plant with great economic and medicinal value. Its root contains two major groups of bioactive compounds, including lipophilic diterpenoid tanshinones and hydrophilic phenolic acids. S. miltiorrhiza has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treating various human diseases for thousands of years, such as dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and cardiovascular disease. The wild S. miltiorrhiza resources are far from being able to meet the market demand. It is necessary to develop more efficient methods to produce reliable and sustainable resources. The in vitro culture is a high-quality method to improve the quality and the proliferation of S. miltiorrhiza seedlings. It can directly produce the active constituents of S. miltiorrhiza on a large scale, and it will solve the problems in the current cultivation process and the quality control of S. miltiorrhiza. In this chapter, we review recent progress in vitro cultures of S. miltiorrhiza, including cell culture, tissue culture, and hairy root culture, as well as possible factors affecting the production of active constituents in the culture.
