This study was conducted to establish the optimal suspension culture system for both the propagation of embryogenic cells (ECs) and the induction of somatic embryos (SEs) of Kalopanax septemlobus. The proliferation rate of ECs was reduced as the inoculum density was increased; the highest rate was obtained when 0.1 g/100 ml of cells was initially inoculated. According to the analysis of cell growth pattern and cell growth cycle (G1, Sand G2/M), the cell growth started in 5 days culture initiation, grew rapidly until 15 days and then decreased gradually. Distinctive changes of the cell growth cycle by the culture periods was also observed; the growth cycle was doubled from initial 5.6% to 11.7% of S stage in 5 days culture and then reached in stable stages again. Therefore, the results indicated that a 15-day-cycle was the optimal culture period for the propagation of the ECs through the suspension culture. Furthermore, the cell inoculum density was also important for the induction of SE; more than 65% of SEs at the torpedo stage was induced by using the low level of cell inoculum (0.5 g/L), while the higher inoculum densities were rapidly reduced the proportion of SEs at that stage. Although the higher inoculum density delayed the development of SE, it did not affect the proportion of SEs at the globular and heart stage. In conclusion, this study showed that the suspension culture of the Kalopanax septemlobus ECs through the control of inoculum density was an efficient way for both the propagation of ECs and the induction of SEs, suggesting that the development of this system might help to reduce the culture period for the somatic embryo production.
