Abstract

---

Efficient micropropagation was developed for an endangered plant; Moringa concanensis Nimmo. The plant has many medicinal properties. It is an antioxidant, anti-diabetic and a powerful tonic alternative. A high frequency and maximum number of shoots were produced in MS supplemented with the combination of Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and α-Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) (0.10mg/l +0.05mg/l). Rooting was achieved by the inoculation of regenerated shoots on half strength MS without addition of hormone.
