The callus tissue of light green and nodular nature on further subculture in a wide range of plant growth regulators (PGRs) supplemented media, differentiated into multiple shoot buds that underwent rapid elongation on 2.0 mg/l BAP and 0.2 mg/l NAA supplemented media. The elongated shoot buds on further subculture in rooting media produced strong and stout roots. Half strength MS with 1.5% (w/v) sucrose was most effective for enhancing rooting. Finally those plantlets were acclimatized in field. Thus a protocol was established for rapid micropropagation of this medicinal plant through induction of direct and indirect organogenesis from nodal explant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
