Direct Organogenesis and Plantlet Establishment via Cotyledon Explants in Medicinally Important Herb <i>Silybum marianum</i> (L.)

Organogenesis from cotyledon and hypocotyl-derived explants of japhara (Bixa orellana L.)

A protocol for direct organogenesis in Bixa orellana (pink flowers variety) has been developed with significant organogenic response from rooted hypocotyls, hypocotyl segments, and cotyledonary leaf explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.0 mg L thidiazuron and 0.25% coconut water or 7.0 mg L N-Benzyladenine and 0.1 mg L a-naphthalene acetic acid. Thidiazuron in combinat...

In vitro Shoot Multiplication of Medicinally Important Plant Andrographis lineata Nees via Nodal Explants

Andrographis lineata Nees (Acanthaceae) is an endemic herb rich in flavonoids and diterpenoids which have pharmaceutical importance. Seedling explants source has not been studied for micropropagation and hence the present investigation has been taken up. An efficient protocol was developed for aseptic seed germination and in vitro shoot multiplication from different aseptic seedling explants. 3...
