In vitro Flowering and Production of Seeds in Oxalis corniculata L. - an Important Medicinal Plant

The multiple shoots (14.2) from Oxalis corniculata differentiated through bud breaking on MS medium with 2.0 mg/l BAP. regenerated were further sub-cultured containing 1.0 BAP and 0.5 NAA. Vegetative to reproductive phase transition occurred in the cultures affected by plant growth regulators (PGRs), sucrose concentrations, strength of salts light. Flower buds initiated half Kn + NAA 3% sucrose. These flower opened under low light (10-15 μmol m-2 s-1) condition 18h/6h photoperiod within 3 weeks culture initiation. did not dark. Though smaller size, vitro generated flowers morphologically comparable natural flowers. Fruits set 5 weeks. Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 32(2): 193-203, 2022 (December)
