Micropropagation of an important medicinal herb Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk.

The study focused on the micropropagation of Eclipta alba using nodal segments as explants for organogenesis. The researchers achieved the highest number of multiple shoots (18.40±0.67) on MS medium with 1.0 mg/l BAP and 0.1 mg/l NAA. For root induction, the optimal medium was half-strength MS with 0.1 mg/l IBA, resulting in 96% of shoots rooting. The regenerated plantlets exhibited normal growth and flowered 45 days post-transplantation, indicating successful micropropagation without morphological variations.
