Abstract

The uncontrolled collection and sale of large quantities of plant material from the forest leads to destruction of many plant species. Adhatoda vasica is such a plant which is under threat due to collection and over exploitation of this important medicinal plant species. Hence it is important to manage conservation strategies of important medicinal plant. We have developed here a protocol for high frequency shoot regeneration of Adhatoda vasica using a potent growth regulator Thidiazuran (TDZ) and also developed an efficient system of ex-vitro propagation of Adhatoda vasica Nees. through stem cuttings using Revive Rooting Hormones (RRHs) which can be helpful in the conservation strategy of this important medicinal plant.
