Abstract
A high efficacy in vitro protocol for shoot regeneration was developed for Terminalia bellirica Roxb. - a valuable medicinal plant commonly known as Bahera. The influence of different media and cytokinin concentration had been assessed on the shoot production potential of the nodal explants derived from 30 d old seedlings. Among the various basal media tried, Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) basal medium exhibited with a maximum average of 0.81±0.19 shoots per explant with an average shoot length of 0.58±0.12 cm. MS medium augmented with 10 µM N6 Benzyladenine was the most effective in inducing multiple shoot proliferation in cent percent cultures with an average of 19.92±0.77 shoots per explant. High frequency (70.83 %) in vitro rooting was obtained on half strength MS + 15 µM NAA. Most of the plantlets survived in the field after gradual hardening in Soilrite and acclimatization in soil.
