STUDY ON IN VITRO PROPAGATION THROUGH MULTIPLE SHOOT PROLIFERATION IN WOOD APPLE (Aegle marmelos L.)

Abstract

-1 NAA within fourteen days of inoculation. The induced shoots were elongated on the same medium. The elongated shoots were separated and cultured for root induction. Rooting of in vitro raised shoots was best induced on half strength MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mgl -1 IBA with highest percentage of shoot regenerating roots (80.42%) with 4 roots per shoot. The well rooted plantlets were acclimatised and successfully established onto the natural condition with 80% survival.
