Micropropagation of Syzygium cumini (Linn.) Skeels through in vitro culture of seedling derived shoot tips

Shoot tip explants from in vitro grown seedlings were cultured on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS)  medium supplemented with different cytokinins alone or in combination with auxins for multiple  shoot induction. Benzylamino purine (BAP, 1.0mg/l) was most effective for multiple shoot  proliferation. In vitro regenerated shoots were best rooted on ½ MS medium supplemented with  1.4 mg/l Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). About 95 % of in vitro derived plantlets were successfully  acclimatized, hardened and established in natural condition.
