Regeneration of Gardenia gummifera Linn.f by using Cyanobacteria – A novel approach to tissue culture

Firdous Mir, Zakir Hussain Khanday, Sumer Singh

Abstract


Propagation of the medicinal plants by usage of different media and PGR’s is laborious, cost-effective and is the possibility of genetic variation. In this study, a novel protocol was developed for propagation of medicinal plants with special reference of Gardenia gummifera Linn.f by using cyanobacteria instead of plant growth regulators. This protocol is useful in all aspects viz low cost, time and free from genetic variation. This technology is efficient as compared to normal tissue culture technique which is used for conservation from last of two decades.
