Abstract
A highly efficient protocol for in vitro regeneration of an indigenous, endangered medicinal plant Celastrus paniculatus was achieved using nodal explants. Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.1 mg/L naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) showed maximum percentage of shoot multiplication (83.4%) with 8.2 shoots/explants. Maximum rooting of 73.3% with 4.8 roots/shoot was achieved on half-strength MS media supplemented with 0.5 mg/L indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the percentage of survival was 91% after acclimatization. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) marker study confirmed genetic stability for in vitro raised explants by showing 100% monomorphism. High multiplication rate associated with genetic stability ensure the efficacy of the present in vitro clonal propagation protocol of this important medicinal plant species.
