Abstract

Apical and axial shoot buds of Valeriana uallichii DC., an endangered medicinal plant, were successfully encapsulated in calcium alginate beads and plantlet development was observed under both in vitro (98%) and in vivo 64%; in pots with vermiculite under glasshouse) conditions. The advantages of the encapsulation procedure for clonal propagation over the presently employed shoot bud culture method are discussed in relation to economy of space, time and overall cost.
