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.

A Note on the Micropropagation of Endangered Medicinal Plant, Withania Somnifera

TL;DR: Micropropagation of Withania somnifera (Solanaceae) collected locally was tried, which has tremendous potential in the use of several ailments such as Parkinson’s, memory loss and heart diseases, but over use is making this plant disappear fast.

Rapid callus induction and regenerative studies in shoot tip explants of Withania somnifera (L.) dunal-indian ginseng

TL;DR: The efficient large scale in vitro regeneration protocol was developed by indirect organogenesis of Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal by direct organogenesis and transfer of shoots derived from callus in primary cultures to proliferation medium of different cytokinins.

Regulation of In Vitro Morphogenesis by Modulation of Culture Conditions in Withania somnifera L. Using Cotyledonary Node Explants

TL;DR: In this paper, an in vitro propagation of cotyledonary node segments (CN) attained from 7-day-old aseptic seedlings in a highly valuable medicinal plant (Withania somnifera L. L. was performed from explants as bared to diverse range of cytokinins viz; 6-benzyl adenine (BA), kinetin (Kn), or 2-isopentenyl adeniine (2iP) individually or in combined arrangement with various auxins namely indole 3-acetic

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.
