Abstract

Axillary shoot proliferation has been achieved in Eucalyptus F1 hybrid (E. citriodora Hook x E. torelliana F.V. Muell.) using nodal segments as explant collected from 17- year old tree. Cultures were established on MS medium supplemented with BAP (1.5 mg/l) alongwith NAA (1.0 mg/l) and regular sub-culturing was carried out in BAP (1.0 mg/l).  Best rooting was observed in 1/2 MS medium supplemented with IBA (0.5 mg/l). This method of in-vitro propagation will help in retaining the hybrid vigour of F1 hybrid of Eucalyptus which has the potential to produce 3 to 5 folds more volume of wood than the parent species.
