Chinese white. Initially, friable callus was induced (242.8 and 128.5 mg) from in vivo leaf and nodal explants on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium amended with 4.0 µM/L of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 3.0 µM/L of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) respectively within 3 weeks. Shoot regeneration (12.2 and 8.6) was obtained from leaf and node derived callus on 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) + Thidiazuron (TDZ) at 2.5 + 2.0 and 7.5 + 2.0 µM/L concentrations respectively, after 4 weeks of incubation. In vitro shoots were rooted (90%) on half strength MS medium with 7.5 µM/L indole-3 butyric acid (IBA) and plantlets were hardened in plastic pots contained farmyard manure, sand and garden soil in 1:1:2 ratio. The genetic stability of plantlets were confirmed by start codon targeted (SCoT) and inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) primers based molecular analysis.
