Mitra et al. (1976) medium supplemented with 2, 4-D ( 2mgl-1 ) induced callusing at the root tip. However, cent% explants responded via shoot bud formation within 13.25 ± 0.95 days. The neoformations organogenated subsequently. The plantlets grown on M medium supplemented with NAA (3mgl-1 ) and those with 4-5 leaves and a number of roots and further these were subjected to a two-step hardening procedure by subjecting them to in vitro and ex vitro hardening. These survived with 60% frequencyenArticle
