Abstract
Albizia amara,
belonging to the family Fabaceae is a valuable economic, medicinal and
multipurpose drought tolerant tree commonly found in dry forests of India.
Keeping view of its economic importance, a protocol was developed for rapid
clonal multiplication of Albizia amara by means of plant tissue culture.
The present study describes a protocol for rapid in vitro
micropropagation of Albizia amara during through nodal segments
containing axillary buds. The buds induced to produce a large number of
multiple shoots by culturing on MS medium supplemented with different
concentrations of BA (benzyladenine) and NAA (α-naphthalene acetic acid). The
maximum number of shoots per explants was obtained on MS medium supplemented
with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L NAA was after 8 weeks of culture. Excised shoots
were rooted on half strength MS medium fortified with 0.5 mg/L either IBA
(Indolbutyric acid) or NAA alone. The complete plantlets thus obtained were
successfully transferred to soil.
