Abstract

An efficient and reproducible protocol for mass propagation of Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk, an important medicinal plant, was standardized by culturing shoot tips and nodal segments taken from in vitro raised plants. Maximum shoot proliferation occurred when the explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1 mg l−1 benzylaminopurine (BAP). The shoot buds formed were further multiplied and maintained on medium containing BAP (0.5 mg l−1) and gibberellic acid (0.5 mg l−1). Rooting was best achieved on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg−1 indole-3-butyric acid. Rooted plantlets attained maturity and flowered normally in the field.
