Abstract
A regeneration protocol was optimized for the faster propagation of elite Jatropha curcas, an important biodiesel plant. Out of different explants tested (petiole, apical bud and leaf), apical buds were found to be the best for callus induction. Shoot regeneration from calluses induced from petioles was the best. Various combinations of auxins with cytokinins were suitable for callus induction. The best shoot regeneration (75%) was observed in MS medium supplemented with IBA (1.23 µM) and BAP [benzyladenine] (6.6 µM). Root induction (100%) was successfully obtained in MS and 1/2 MS medium. Acclimatization and hardening was quite successful with survival rate of 75%.
