Abstract: To enhance the polysaccharides content of Achyranthes bidentata suspension cell, yeast extract, Pleurotus citrinopileatus and salicylic acid were added at different concentrations or at different times as the elicitor. With 2.5% (v/v) yeast elicitor added at 12 days, the cell dry weight was the greatest, reaching 46.75 g·L-1; polysaccharides content was less, 5.76 mg·g-1. With 5 mgGE·L-1 fungal elicitor added after culture for 9 days, polysaccharides content could reach 6.56 mg·g-1; with cell dry weight 28.3 g·L-1. With 1 mg·g-1 SA elicitation, the effect was a little inferior to the above two effects.
