| Abstract: | SummaryIn vitro production of corms from Gloriosa superba L. using three kinds of explants: dormant, non-dormant corm buds and 30 d old in vitro derived multiple shoots is reported. Excellent responses was obtained in terms of corm production using MS medium supplemented with B5 vitamins, 6% sucrose, 2iP, ADS and ANL for corm formation from dormant corm buds, using Kin, ADS and ANL for corm formation from non-dormant corm buds and using BAP, ADS and ANL for callus derived multiple shoot corm formation. Well developed corms were obtained from the tissue cultured plants with no dormancy breaking requirement. |
