Abstract: | An efficient protocol is described for large scale in vitro propagation of east Indian rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia Roxb.) using cotyledonary nodes derived from axenic seedlings. Of the four different cytokinins tested, BA was most effective in inducing multiple shoot buds in the explants. High frequency shoot proliferation (93%) coupled with maximum number of shoot formation (10-12 shoots/explant) was recorded on Murashige and Skoog’s medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BA. The frequency of shoot proliferation declined at higher levels of cytokinins. Shoot culture was multiplied by subculturing the original cotyledonary node on a fresh shoot multiplication medium each time aHer excising the newly formed shoots. Shoots obtained from each passage were multiplied further as nodal explants and each node produced 3-4 shoots. In two months from a single cotyledonary node, about 90 shoots were obtained. Rooting was induced in 72% of the regenerated shoots on half-strength MS containing IAA, IBA and IPA each at 1.0 mg/l. Rooted plantlets were hardened off and eventually established in soil. |
