TLDR
Shoot multiplication was achieved in vitro from shoot tips of aseptically germinated seedlings of Withania somnifera L. with direct multiple shoot initiation from germinating seeds in the presence of BA alone.
Abstract
Shoot multiplication was achieved in vitro from shoot tips of aseptically germinated seedlings of Withania somnifera L. using low concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (BA), viz. 2.2, 4.4 and 8.9 μM. Maximum number of shoots were obtained when 2.3 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) or 2.5 μM indolebutyric acid (IBA) was added to medium containing 4.4 μM BA during initiation of shoot multiplication, but not when added later. Direct multiple shoot initiation was also obtained from germinating seeds in the presence of BA alone. Rooting was successful in excised shoots grown on growth regulator-free MS medium. Rooted shoots were successfully established in soil in a greenhouse.

An efficient protocol for shoot bud induction and regeneration of Tylophora indica, an endangered medicinal plant

TL;DR: Among the four media and three explants employed, MS medium followed by LS, B5 and L6 (MS>LS>B5>L6) and leaf followed by shoot and root resulted in higher frequency (90%) of shoot bud formation and maximum number of mean shoot buds (16.2).

Chemistry and genetics of withanolides in Withania somnifera hybrids

TL;DR: In this paper, the inheritance characteristics of various substituents on the withanolide skeleton were analyzed based on the occurrence in per cent of each substituent in relation to the total withanolides content in the hybrid plants and their respective parents.

Factors affecting in vitro proliferation and rooting of shoots of jackfruit ( Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.)

TL;DR: Of the cytokinins tested, benzylaminopurine (BAP) was more effective than either 2-isopentenyladenine (2iP) or kinetin (Kin) and produced maximum proliferation when used at 5×10-6M.
