Abstract
A method for inducing plants to increase their flavonoid compound content, includes performing an induction culture on a young shoot or an adult of a living plant, wherein flavonoid compound content of the young shoot or the adult of the living plant which has been subjected to the induction culture is higher than that of a young shoot or an adult of a living plant which is not subjected to the induction culture. Moreover, the induction culture includes a metal ion stimulation procedure comprising culturing the young shoot or the adult of the living plant in a culture environment with metal ion stimulation, wherein the culture environment with metal ion stimulation contains a metal ion used for stimulating the living plant, and the concentration of the metal ion used for stimulating the living plant is 5 μM-50 mM.
