Abstract

In-vitro propagation of pomegranate through auxiliary proliferation from nodal explant was studied. For this purpose the explants fortified with various concentrations of Benzyladenine (BA) were employed. Benzyladenine at the concentration of 10.0 μM was found superior for shoot initiation, number of leaves and number of shoots per explant. The treatment with silicea (60μl/l) resulted into remarkable structural development of the explant.
