BA (2.5 µM) was found to be the most effective cytokinin for axillary bud proliferation. A growth retardant ancymidol (ANC) was combined with 2.5 µM BA to enhance the multiple shoot induction and ensure the overall health of micro shoots. The nodal explants taken from micro shoots developed in 2.5 µM BA were subcultured on agar-gelled MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of ANC along with 2.5 µM BA. Among the different concentrations tested, 4.0 µM ANC combined with 2.5 µM BA produced a maximum number of multiple shoots (13 shoots per explant). A progressive decline in the shoot height was observed with increasing concentrations of ANC and significantly reduced shoot length (0.5 cm) at a higher concentration (12.0 µM ANC). Reduced leaf area and more chlorophyll were noticed in ANC-treated plants than in BA-alone-treated plants. This facilitated better growth and development of robust micro shoots.
