Abstract: Browning is a restraint for mass propatation of sugarcane by tissue culture. For successful tissue culture of sugarcane it is very important to inhibit browning of sugarcane under tissue culture and make sure the tips of sugarcane stem grow and differentiate well. In this experiment axillary buds at different positions of stem sugarcane were used as explants and pretreated with different antioxidants,ie.,ascorbic acid( VitC),PVP, Na2S2O3 ·5H2O. The results showed that the axillary buds germinated from the young canes grew well and can be a good choice for explants,and that the pretreatment of the explants with VitC( 0. 75 g·L-1) controlled browning of sugarcane efficiently and did not give impacts on the growth of the explants.
