A Technique for Rapid Micropropagation of <i>Solanum surattense </i>Burm. f.
201-204In Solanum surattense, a
medicinally important member of family Solanaceae, rapid
micropropagation and direct organogenesis was achieved from shoot tip and leaf explants,
respectively. Both leaf and shoot tips differentiated into number of small
shoots without apparently forming any callus. Average 180-200 adventitious shoots
were produced
from a single explant on MS basal medium
fortified with BAP and kinetin individually and in combination. Caulogenesis was
followed by rhizogenesis on the same medium without phytohormone. In vitro regenerated
plantlets were healthy with dark green leaves and attained a length of 5-10 cm
in 10 weeks. The post- transplantation survival rate in the field was 80±5% without
any seasonal constraints
