Abstract

Multiple shoots were induced from nodal segments and shoot apices of Rauvolfia serpentina and MS medium containing 1.0 mg/l BA and 0.1 mg/I NAA was found to give the best shoot proliferation rate. Callus formed at cut bases of the ex-plants which produced shoots when subcultured on media containing low concentration of BA (0.5 or 0.1 mg/I) and NAA (0.1 mg/I). The in vitro proliferated shoots were rooted and later transferred to the soil.
