Abstract

Multiple shoots (8-45) were obtained from apical bud explants of mature B. ceiba L. on woody plant medium  supplemented with Naphthalene acetic acid (2.68 mM) in combination with Benzyl amino purine (22.19 mM). Shoots  were elongated on WPM augmented with BAP (0.44 mM) and Adenine sulphate (5 mg/l). In vitro multiplied shoots could be rooted on medium containing Indole butyric acid (2.46 mM), BAP (0.44 mM) and 2% sucrose. Plantlets were hardened and transferred to pots containing sand  and soil (1:1), acclimatized and have been established in field.
