Abstract

A series of experiment were conducted to develop micro propagation protocol of Jatropha curcas through axillary buds and shoot apices. Maximum shoot regeneration was obtained on MS medium supplemented with BAP (Img/l). Shoot multiplication was best achieved by culturing in vitro raised shoots on MS + BAP (1.0mgˉ¹) +GA, (7.0mgˉ¹) + Glutamine (50.0mgˉ¹). Maximum root induction occurred at ½ MS+ IBA (2.0mgˉ¹). In vitro raised plantlets with shoots and roots were successfully transferred to the field conditions.
