Abstract

Bryonopsis laciniosa (L.) Naud. is a hjghly  valuable  medicinal plant belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae. It is used as an operient medicine and tonic. The objective of the present study was to achieve high frequency in – vitro rooting from explants like leaf,stem,nodal and cotyledon, explants derived calli and regenerated shoots on MS medium. Among the explants  tested  leaf  and cotyledon cultures showed  high  frequency  rooting on MS medium augmented with 2.0 mg/l BAP + 2.0 mg/l NAA and MS + 2.0 mg/l BAP + 2.0 mg/l IBA. The auxins2,4-D,  NAA and IBA are used  for  rooting  but   NAA had found as the most effective hormone compared to IBA on root induction and elongation.
