In vitro root Induction in Guggul (Commiphora wightii ) critically endangered Medicinal Plant

Abstract:

Present investigation reflected IBA showed different morphology of roots as well as root frequency. Very thick and small roots were observed at 0.1 – 0.3 mg/l IBA, whereas thick and medium-long roots were observed at 0.4 and 0.9 mg/l IBA. Thick and profuse roots were observed at 0.5 mg/l IBA. Thick and medium-long roots were observed at 0.6 -0.8 mg/l IBA. Thick and small roots were observed at 1.0 -2.0 mg/l IBA. Root frequency ranged from 10-90 per cent. The highest roots were observed at 0.5 mg/l IBA with 90 per cent frequency.
