Improved Propagation Technique for Nothapodytes Foetida

Abstract

Nothapodytes foetida (Wight) Sleumer, which is having problems with seed germination, is the subject of the present study. Seeds collected from various geographical locations expressed different germinability and Camptothecin content. Successful attempts were made to improve the germination percentage and protocol is derived for maximum production of seedlings by adopting the technique of in vitro seed culture. Percent of seedling production by conventional methods and improvised method were compared and found to be highly efficient for mass production of this high value tree species.
