Vernonia cinerea is an important medicinal plant which is frequently used in the traditional system of medicine. Due to over exploitation its availability in the natural habitat has become limited. In order to overcome this problem, a viable protocol for large scale multiplication of the species through callus induction and regeneration and somatic embryogenesis has been standardized.
