In vitro propagation of Albizia lebbeck through axillary bud culture

الملخص EN

The present study describes a protocol for rapid in vitro micro propagation of Albizia lebbeck during the period of October 2007 to October 2009 through nodal segments containing axillary buds.

The buds induced to produce a large number of multiple shoots by culturing on MS medium sup plemented with different concentrations of BA (benzyl adenine) and NAA (α-naphthalene acetic acid).

The maximum number of shoots per explants was obtained on MS medium sup plemented with 1.0 mg / L BA and 0.1 mg / L NAA was (4.8) after 4 weeks of culture.

Excised shoots were rooted on half strength M S medium fortified with 0.5 Mg / L either IBA (indolbuty ric acid) or NAA alone.

The complete plantlets thus obtained were successfully transferred to soil.
