Abstract:

Nerium odorum, Linn. (Apocynaceae) an important evergreen shrub which is heat, salinity, and drought tolerant. Plants with milky sap has medicinal value, mainly cardenolides, flavonoids, and terpenes. It comprises of total 01 species. Explants of an alkaloid producing plant cultured in vitro and has been found to retain the capacity to synthesis alkaloids identical to that in the intact plant. It is used for wastewater purification and for restoration of riparian woodlands. In view of these facts the study was conducted for micro propagation of Nerium odorum.

Keywords:

Nerium odorum, callus culture, micro propagation, plant growth regulators.
