Micropropagation of Gmelina arborea

Micropropagation of Gmelina arborea.

Multiple shoots were obtained from single node explants of mature Gmelina arborea Roxb. on MS medium supplemented with 6-benzyladenine (BA). Seven to nine shoots were formed when in vitro-derived single node explants were subcultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.1 micromolar BA. For root initiation the cut ends of microshoots were pulsed for 5 min with 246 micromolar indole-3-butyric acid and transferred to a plastic cup containing sterile vermiculite. The shoots were covered with a polyethylene bag and maintained in a culture room. After hardening, plantlets were transferred to earthen pots containing a mixture of garden soil:compost and have been established in the field.
