Abstract: | An improved micropropagation protocol has been developed for teak (Tectona grandis). Nodal explants placed on MS medium supplemented with 22.2 M benzylaminopurine and then serially transferred to fresh medium after 12, 24, 48 and 72 h gave maximum culture establishment (76.8%). Establishment was reduced when explants were retained in the initial culture medium longer than 12 h. Explants collected in May showed maximum (76.8%) response. Placement of the explants on MS medium supplemented with 22.2 M benzylaminopurine and 0.57 M indole-3-acetic acid resulted in the maximum average number of shoots. In vitro raised micro shoots were rooted ex vitro by dipping in indole-3-butyric acid (9.8 mM) for 2 min followed by planting in polyethylene pots containing a soil:vermiculite (1:1 v/v) mixture. This treatment resulted in 77.9% survival of the plantlets. They were weaned in a glasshouse and finally moved to an agro-net shade house. |
