Multiple shoots were induced from nodal, shoot tip and axillary bud of Momordica dioica Roxb. ex Willd. The maximum number of multiple shoots was obtained from MS [Murashige and Skoog] medium containing BAP [benzyl amino purine] (2.0 mg L-1 ) and KIN (1.0 mg L-1) for nodal explants, BAP (1.0 mg L-1) combined with Ads (2.0 mg L-1) for shoot tip and BAP (2.0 mg L-1) with Ads (1.0 mg L-1) for axillary buds. Maximum elongation of shoots from nodal, shoot tip and axillary bud explants occurred on MS medium augmented with GA3 at 0.75 mg L-1 and 1.0 mg L-1. Elongated shoots were harvested and transferred to MS medium containing IAA [indole-3-acetic acid] (1.0 mg L-1) for root induction. Rooted plants were acclimatized and further successfully transferred to the field
