Received: 30-08-2020, |
The present investigations micropropagation studies have been carried out in highly medicinal plant Bacopa monnieri L.. Effect of auxins (IAA, NAA & 2, 4-D) and cytokinins (BA, KIN & TDZ) on callus induction and IAA and TDZ on root induction were assessed. Callus induction on Murashige and Skoog’s medium (MS) supplemented with NAA, 2,4-D and TDZ at various combinations/concentrations were also investigated. The auxiliary buds formed from both leaf and nodal explants on hormone free MS medium within 9 d. Growth hormones at different combinations brought out remarkable variations in shoot, root and callus induction. |
