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.
