MICROPROPAGATION OF CROTON BONPLANDINUM BAIL.
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
Croton bonplandinum Bail. with its amazing colors and leathery leaves is regarded as a beautiful foliage plant. The plant is native of South America. Generally crotons are multiplied vegetatively by means of cuttings and air layering. This process is slow in response and need to maintain large number of mother plants stock. Micropropagation is an alternative mean of propagation that can meet its high demand in relatively shorter time. An improved and enhanced method was established for the In vitro propagation of the Croton bonplandinum. A series of experiments were conducted for the optimization of shooting media. The best media for shoot induction was MS (Murashige and Skoog) supplemented with 0.5 mg/L of BAP (6-benzyl amino purine). During the present investigation leaves, nodal segments and internodal segments were used as explants for callus induction and its establishment. Nodal segment derived callus showed fast growth and brown in colour.
