Effects of Variations in Hormonal Treatments upon Callus Induction Potential in Jasminum grandiflorum L

Plants are the real basis towards people's livelihood. A large number of medicinal plants is explored
from the natural flora for Commercial drug production. Aromatic flower yielding plant has various
contributions in performing various religious celebrations and has other multiple beneficiaries like
medicine, human happiness as well as in treating deadly diseases. The growing demand for flower
extracts in perfume trade can primarily be met by increasing flower production and multiplying
planting material. A thrust upon developing advanced propagation technologies for Jasminum
grandiflorum L., is needed in addition to conventional nature-depended agro-techniques as these
floral crop is the major commercial aromatic flower yielding plant. In this study the effect of
different (2,4-D, IAA, IBA, NAA) growth hormones and their combination on callus formation,
callus texture and weight (fresh and dry) of Jasminum grandiflorum were investigated. In this
investigation revealed that the best callus performance observed in individual MS medium
containing 1.5 mg/L 2,4-D and combination 1.5 mg/L 2,4-D along with 1.5 mg/L IAA.
