Abstract

Nodal segments taken from aseptically raised seedlings of FRI-5 (E. camaldulensis Dehn. X E. tereticornis Sm.) were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentration of BAP and NAA. The most effective BAP and NAA level for the induction of multiple shoot formation was BAP (1.0 mg/1) + NAA (1.0 mg/1). Elongation of shoots was achieved on 1/2 MS medium without any plant growth regulators. Rooting was achieved on ½ MS+IBA (1.0 mg/1). Plantlets so raised successfully transferred to pots and plantlets have attained a height of 60 cm within two months. Plantlets can be developed successfully using this three step method described here.
