1996
Roja, G. | Heble, M.R.
Plantlets were successfully regenerated from shoot cultures of Rauwolfia serpentina initiated from auxiliary meristems on medium containing BA (4.44 micromolar) + NAA (0.54 micromolar). Rooting was initiated in White's basal medium supplemented with NAA (0.54 micromolar). Tissue culture derived plants of R. serpentine (RSTC) were similar to normal plants (RS) in their morphological characteristics and chemical constitution. The biomass of the RSTC plants was higher (47.11 gms) than the normal plant (18.23 gms) on a dry weights basis. Five RSTC plants were cloned and the cloned Plants were similar in biomass and alkaloid content to the normal plant.
