Abstract

Attempts were made to multiply Ginkgo biloba L. - an important medicinal species through in vivo and in vitro techniques. For macro propagation mature hard wood and juvenile soft wood cuttings were treated with auxin IBA in various concentrations. Sixty percent rooting was achieved in juvenile soft wood cuttings treated with IBA 4000 µg gˉ¹. Significant differences were observed in root length and root number with respect to treatments. For micro propagation nodal explants were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with different concentration of Cytokinins (BAP, Kn and Zn (1-5 mg dm ˉ³) along with Auxin (NAA 0.25-0.5 mg dmˉ³) and antioxidant PVP (250 mg dmˉ³). The best response was achieved in Kn 2 mg dmˉ³ + NAA 0.5 mg dm along with PVP.
