Rapid micropropagation for Mucuna pruriens f. pruriens L.

Plant Cell Reports, 1995
A rapid micropropagation system was developed for Mucuna pruriens f. pruriens using explants from 1-week-old aseptically grown seedlings. Multiple shoot regeneration occurred following an initial callus growth on Revised Tobacco (RT) medium supplemented with 2.7 μM NAA and 9.8 μM 2iP. Maximum number of shoot regeneration was achieved only from seedling
