Abstract:
Chlorophytum borivilianum (safed musli) is a medicinal plant with golden roots having cure for many health issues. In the present research work, the in vitro responses for shoot multiplication employing distinct carbon sources and gelling agents in the media of Chlorophytum borivilianum were assessed in two different experiments. The micropropagated plants were used for the experiments. The five different carbon sources like crystal sugar, fructose glucose, maltose and sucrose were employed in the first experiment. In the second experiment, the media was gelled with five different gelling agents like agar, agarose, gelrite, guar gum and isabgol. The shoots cultures were observed at regular time interval for the time period of 28 days for shoot multiplication. Among these carbon sources and gelling agents, sucrose and gelrite showed the maximum shoot multiplication (15.9 and 16.0 mean no. of shoots), respectively. The other carbon sources and gelling agents were not able to evoke better response. So, gelrite would be suggested as most beneficial and economical alternative tested in the experiment helping in the reduction of the cost.
