In vitro clonal propagation of Achyranthes aspera L. and Achyranthes bidentata Blume using nodal explants
TLDR
The results have shown that use of nodal buds is an alternative reproducible and dependable method for clonal propagation of A. aspera and A. bidentata and indicate that this protocol can be easily adopted for commercial large scale cultivation.Abstract:
Objective
To develop the reproducible in vitro propagation protocols for the medicinally important plants viz., Achyranthes aspera (A. aspera) L. and Achyranthes bidentata (A. bidentata) Blume using nodal segments as explants.read more
