ABSTRACT
|
Averrhoa carambola Linn. was micropropagated
from nodal explants through axillary branching on MS medium supplemented
with benzyladenine (BA) and Kinetin, Maximum numbers of shoots per explant
were obtained on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg L-1 each
of BA and Kinetin. Subculturing of regenerated shoots
in MS medium having low concentration of BA (0.1 mg L-1)
stimulates shoot elongation. Regenerated shoots
were rooted by treating them with auxins and best root induction (70%)
was observed in half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg L-1
indole-3-butyic acid (lBA). Rooted plantlets were successfully established
in soil.
