Moreover in spite of being the native of India, but due to poor distribution of the plant species limited to only certain part of the country. Keeping view the high economic value and demand the present study was investigated. Petiole was used as explants for callus induction. Maximum and rapid callus formation was observed in B5 medium supplemented with 8.0mg/l of 2,4-D.
