“…Similarly, in other medicinal plants like Eclipta alba (Baskaran and Jayabalan, 2005), Vanilla planifolia (Abebe et al, 2009), Pogostemon cablin (Swamy et al, 2010) and Enicostema axillare (Loganathan and Bai, 2014) BA with Kn induced optimum shoots from in vitro nodes. Moreover, the potency of in vitro nodes to regenerate shoots was less as compared to in vivo nodal explants of the same plant (Patnaik and Debata, 1996;Sreekumar et al, 2000;Misra et al, 2003;Saha et al, 2003), it is also in contradiction to the earlier report which states that the potency of in vivo and in vitro nodes is the same (Sreekumar et al, 2000). But this study is in continuation of previous work in which from single node around 11 shoots were formed within eight weeks, each shoot had an average 7 nodes .…”
