“…After 3 weeks, yellowish semi-friable callus with soft roots was observed with a yield of 48 mg l -1 (Table 1), whereas, explants transferred to medium containing 1.5 mg l -1 2, 4-D resulted in callus proliferation without root formation. When explants were transferred to medium containing NAA, root differentiation was observed, and this is similar to results obtained by Murata and Orton (1987) and Collin and Britton (1993). However, when rhizogenic callus was transferred to basal medium, minimal callus growth was observed, and with no root formation.…”

Young leaf explants of Ocimum sanctum L. incubated on solidified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2 mg l -1 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.2 mg l -1 kinetin (Kn) developed rhizogenic callus. When these were subcultured onto MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg l -1 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) and 0.5 mg l -1 NAA, friable rhizogenic callus was observed. Upon transfer of this friable callus onto liquid MS medium containing 4 mg l -1 NAA and 1.3 mg l -1 6-benzyladnine (BA) under continuous agitation at 90 rpm and 16 h photoperiod, roots with an optimum dry weight of 1,460 mg l -1 were obtained. An ethyl acetate extract of these roots exhibited 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity.
