IN VITRO PROPAGATION FROM INFLORESCENCE EXPLANTS OF ANISOCHILUS CARNOSUS- AN ETHNO-MEDICINAL HERB
A protocol was devised for callus induction and in vitro micro propagation of Anisochilus carnosus. Leaf, nodal and immature inflorescence explants were cultured for callusing on solid MS medium with best callusing response achieved at higher concentrations of BAP (12mg/l) alone and in combination with 2,4-D (3mg/l) and IAA (5mg/l). Bud regeneration from inflorescence callus giving maximum (9.67±...
