Abstract:

Dioscorea alata L. Commonly known as Water yam and Betel yam and purple yam it contains about 600 species distributed throughout in the world, but mostly in tropical region. Many species of Dioscorea genus are economically important crops of worldwide and many of them have been used in the pharmaceutical industry. In vitro propagation of Dioscorea species pave the way to meet the demand of this economically important plant
