Abstract
Tacca leontopetaloides (L.) Kuntze belongs to family Taccaceae. It is highly medicinal plant used for stomach disorders, diarrhea, and dysentery also used in worm infection, hepatitis, and snake bites. It is rich source of carbohydrates, alkaloids, vitamin-C, vitamin-E, flavonoids, and other primary and secondary metabolites such as Phenols, glycosides, saponins, and volatile oils are present. The aim of this study was to micropropagate the Tacca leontopetaloides by using leaf and shoots tip as an explant. The explants were inoculated with the sterilized MS-media with different concentrations of Cytokinin and Auxin i.e. BAP and IAA. The combination of 2.0 mg/l of BAP with 1.0 mg/l of IAA (1.92 ± 0.216) and a combination of 2.5 mg/l of BAP with 1.0 mg/l of IAA (2.0 ±0.144) was proved to be a maximum number of shoots with leaf was used as an explant. Maximum shoot was observed on media with a combination of 2.0 mg/l of BAP with 1.0 mg/l of IAA (2.64 ± 0.203) and a combination of 2.5 mg/l of BAP with 1.0 mg/l of IAA (2.78± 0210) with shoot tip used as an explant as compared to when leaf used as an explant.
