Micropropagation of Anethum graveolens L Through Axillary Shoot Proliferation
2004
Sharma, R. K. | Wakhlu, A. K. | Boleria, M.
A protocol is described for rapid and large-scale in vitro propagation of Anethum graveolens by enhanced axillary shoot induction that was dependent on BAP supply. The synergistic combination of 0.5 mg l⁻¹ BAP and 0.1 mg l⁻¹ IBA induced 100% shoot formation as well as shoot number (6.6 ± 0.48 per explant). Subculturing of shoot tips of in vitro plants on multiplication medium enabled continuous production of healthy shoots with similar frequency. Rooting of shoots was achieved on a medium with 1mg l⁻¹ IBA and 0.5 mg l⁻¹ Kn. Micropropagated plants established in garden were uniform and identical to the donor plant with respect to morphological and cytological characteristics.
