Chattopadhyay, S. | Datta, S.K. | Mahato, S.B.
A rapid micropropagation system was developed for Mucuna pruriens f. pruriens using explants from 1-week-old aseptically grown seedlings. Multiple shoot regeneration occurred following an initial callus growth on Revised Tobacco (RT) medium supplemented with 2.7 micromolars NAA and 9.8 micromolars 2iP. Maximum number of shoot regeneration was achieved only from seedling explant 6 to 7 days old. More than 90% of the regenerated shoots could be rooted on half-strength liquid RT medium supplemented with 2.7 micromolars NAA. Plantlets readily adopted to greenhouse conditions. This system provides a new tool for micropropagation of Mucuna pruriens f. pruriens, an important medicinal plant.
