Abstract

An efficient plant regeneration of C. asiatica was achieved from organogenesis using petiole explants of in vitro plantlet on MS basal medium controled with different plant growth regulators (NAA,2,4-D, IAA kinetin, and BA). Best results that 50%, efficiency of regeneration per explant for regeneration were obtained with IAA $17.13\;{\mu}M$ and BA $8.9\;{\mu}M$. Formation of adventitious shoots via organogenesis from the petiole explant was verified by histological sectioning of plantlets. Regenerated plants were transplanted into soil.
