In vitro clonal propagation of Momordica charantia L.

The present investigation outlines the in vitro propagation of Momordica charantia L. The explants from in vitro grown seedling were cultured on modified MS medium. Shoot differentiation was obtained on MS medium supplemented with BAP. Root, callus were formed on IBA and 2,4-D, respectively. Shoot as well as root differentiation was obtained on medium containing BAP+IBA/NAA. Multiple shoots with roots were formed on MS medium without hormones (MSO). Rooting on shoot grown occurred on medium containing IBA and 40% of the plants survived successfully, when transferred to the field.
