Multiple Shoot Regeneration from Nodal Explants of Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr
Journal Title: Annual Research & Review in Biology - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr. is an important medicinal plants and used to treat various ailments such as diabetes, hypertension and urinary tract infection. Multiple shoot formation was induced from nodal segment of G. procumbens cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing various concentrations 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The MS medium with 3 mg/l BAP gave the highest number of shoots per explant. All the micro-shoots produced normal roots within two weeks of culture on basic MS medium without any plant growth regulators. Regenerated plants were aclimatised before transferred to field condition and showed similar morphology to field grown plants.
