Abstract


Plumbago zeylanica L. (Plumbaginaceae) is a very important medicinal plant containing plumbagin as the major secondary metabolite synthesized and stored in its roots. Over-exploitation to meet the growing demand on global level has put it under the endangered plant category. The objective of the present study is to provide the desired plant material for industrial use. Adventitious root culture is considered as an alternative source of plant material. In the present study, the leaf explants were inoculated on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different plant growth regulators to obtain the adventitious roots in vitro. The leaf explants inoculated on half-strength MS medium supplemented with 6.0 µM 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 2.5 µM 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) produced maximum roots within the shortest period of time. The current study aims at the optimization of in vitro adventitious roots initiation and growth of P. zeylanica from the leaf explants. The protocol established here can be used for bulk production of P. zeylanica roots for medicinal use.
