Research summaries

Abstracts of Completed Project

  • a. Clonal multiplication of Dendrocalamus asper (Thailand bamboo) through miropropagation technique.

    Findings- D.asper is propagated by using micropropagation technique through nodal explants. Excellent morphogenetic response in terms of shoot induction and shoot multiplication observed, when MS culture medium was supplemented with combination of 3.0mg/lt. BAP & IAA 0.1mg /lt. In vitro raised shoots harvested and separated for root induction, profuse root induction observed when the MS culture medium was supplemented with NAA 3.0mg/lt and IAA 1.0mg/lt. 6500 In vitro regenerated plantlets were shifted in 1:1:1 FYM for acclimatization and hardening and after hardening 70% plants were survived.

  • b. Establishment of an advanced laboratory for molecular characterization and chemoprofiling of Commiphora wightii plant

    Findings-1.Chemoprofiling: The percent concentration of Guggulsterone in the accessions collected from different geographical locations of Rajasthan, Gujrat and MP are presented below-

    • Rajasthan: ranges from 0.65 % to 2.32%.
    • Gujarat: ranges from 0.59 % to 2.22%.
    • MP: ranges from 0.54 % to 2.01%.

    Findings-2. Genetic diversity - Population which collected from Kiradu (historical guggle in India) and surrounding areas of Badmer District (Rajasthan) showed highest genetic diversity is concern.
