TLDR
Application of this micropropagation protocol for Saussurea obvallata (DC.) Edgew has the potential to substantially reduce the pressure on natural populations.
Abstract
This is the first report of a micropropagation protocol for Saussurea obvallata (DC.) Edgew. (Asteraceae), a rare, threatened and near-endemic medicinal herb of the Indian Himalayan region. Multiple shoots were formed from epicotyle explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 µM kinetin and 0.25 µM α-naphthaleneacetic acid. A maximum of five shoots were obtained from one explant in a 75-day culture period. The effect of subsequent subcultures on shoot formation was also studied. After 100% in vitro rooting was obtained in half-strength MS supplemented with 2.5 µM Indole-3-butyric acid, the plantlets were transferred to ex vitro conditions. Following a 15-day in vitro rooting period and 12 days of ex vitro acclimatization, 66.7% of the plantlets had established in the field. Application of this protocol has the potential to substantially reduce the pressure on natural populations

In vitro clonal propagation through mature nodes of Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Hook. F. & Thoms.: An important ayurvedic medicinal plant

TL;DR: Of the two basal media tested, WPM was found to be superior to MS medium for the induction of multiple shoots and N6-benzyladenine (BA) was more effective than KIN for axillary shoot proliferation and KIN was superior to BA in terms of shoot elongation.
