In Vitro Organogenesis of Pedalium Murex Linn. from Coastal Region

This is the study aimed to standardize a reproducible regenerative protocol for Pedalium murex Linn from coastal region. For mass propagation of this medicinally important species root explants have been inoculated on MS basal medium fortified with different auxin and cytokinin. The maximum (0.92g) callus biomass was observed from 3.0 mg/l of NAA and multiple shoots observed from KIN+ BAP (0.5+2.5mg/l). Among the total auxins tried 2.5 mg/l of IBA showed the better rooting efficiency. In this research the newly raised Pedalium murex showed the 90% survival and better acclimatization in the field. This study will be helpful to conserve the species of coastal region from the natural disaster in future.
