Citrus cultivars were explored for multiple shoot induction and root regeneration in different media. The multiple root and shoot induction was found directly proportionate to the increase in the levels of benzyleaminopurine (BA) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) in the modified Murashige and Skoog medium. The study might be promising towards in vitro propagation of sanitated Citrus plant mater...

An efficient protocol for in vitro flowering of Spilanthes acmella Murr., a medicinally valuable plant, has been developed. Multiple shoot formation of up to 4 shoots was obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with BAP (1.0 mg/l). Regenerated shoots were subcultured cultured on MS medium containing various concentrations of BAP alone or in combination with IAA. Presence of BAP...

Bitter melon is a traditional therapeutic vegetable in tropical and subtropical countries due to its carotenoid content, which provides health advantages. However, the production significantly impacted by poor seed germination rate variability of progenies associated with cultivation this plant. Clonal propagation would increase yield usefulness bitter melon. Momordica charantia was micropropag...

Shoot tip and nodal segment explants of Holarrhena antidysenterica when cultured on MS medium containing BAP (1.0-3.0 mg/l) with NAA (0.2-1.0 mg/l) and BAP (1.0-3.0 mg/l) with Kn. (0.2-1.0 mg/l) produced multiple shoots. Maximum multiple shoots was found in MS medium supplemented with BAP (2.0 mg/l) and NAA (0.5 mg/l). Subculture on the same medium resulted in rapid shoot multiplication at an a...

Context: The application of encapsulated shoot tips and nodal segments may contribute to the protection of rare and threatened medicinal plants. Although the artificial seed technique has been reported for more than two decades, for medicinal plants this method has not been developed sufficiently. The main limitations in conventional propagation of some species with medicinal value are: reduced...
