DIRECT AND INDIRECT MICROPROPAGATION OF TURNERA ULMIFOLIA (L.) A MEDICINAL PLANT
*K. Kalimuthu R.Prabakaran and V. Preetha
ABSTRACT
The successful protocol for direct and indirect micropropagation of
Turnera ulmifolia was developed. In vitro direct regeneration,
multiplication and rooting of plantlets were observed from the nodal
culture on MS medium supplemented with BAP (2.22μM) and TDZ
(0.90 μM). The best callus proliferation and shoot formation from stem
explants were observed in MS medium containing BAP (8.88μM). The
higher percentage (87.34%) of root formation was observed in MS
medium contain IBA (2.46 μM). The well rooted plants were
acclimatized in shade house with mist chamber with 93.83 survival
percentage.
Keywords: Turnera ulmifolia, TDZ, IBA.
