Abstract
Stem cuttings from 3 month old plants,
young buds, rhizome cuttings with shoot bud primordial and juvenile shoots were cultured on ½ MS medium supplemented with different combinations of growth hormones . whereas callus could not be induced on the stem explants, callus was induced on the juvenile shoots which on subculturing to medium with varying concentratios of 2,4-D and BAP evelopd bud primordial . these buds on further subculturing grew into small planntlets. Callus induction was also observed on two week old shoot buds which on
subculturing turned into green segmented, pouch like structures . buds were induced on the rhizome explants which after isolation were further propagated into plantlets . the plantlets have been induced to root and transferred to field conditions.
