Rapid Scale Micropropagation of Glycyrrhiza Glabra L. ( Leguminoseae) A Valuable Medicinal Herb

Manjusha Sarkar, Satyesh Chandra Roy

Abstract :

Method for in vitro micropropagation of Glycyrrhiza glaa L. by axillary bud proliferation was investigated by optimizing the concentrations and combinations of different phytohormone in MS medium. Nodal segment with axillary bud explants could be stimulated to form multiple shoots on MS medium augmented with BAP. The best proliferation (14.3 �0.51shoots per plant) was achieved on BAP (5.0mgl?¹). Shoots could be easily rooted on MS medium containing 3 mgl?¹ IAA. Plantlets were successfully acclimatized in green house and field conditions.
