Indole-3-butyric acid at 25 microM with methyl jasmonate (MJ) at 100 microM in Panax ginseng synergistically stimulated both root growth and ginsenoside accumulation compared with 100 microM MJ alone. Productivity of ginsenoside was 10 mg l(-1) d(-1) compared to 7.3 mg l(-1) d(-1) with MJ elicitation alone.
