Plant Regeneration via Somatic Embryogenesis in an Ethnomedicinal Plant Senna alata (L.) Roxb.

Abstract

Aim:To study the effect of various plant growth regulators (PGRs) for induction of somatic embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration from cotyledon and leaflet explants in Senna alata (L.) Roxb. (Syn. Cassia alata) an important ethnomedicinal plant used in the treatment of fungal skin infections.
