Abstract

In vitro propagation and phytochemical studies of Indian Teak (Tectona grandis L.)

Author(s): R. Sreedevi, T. Damodharam

Multiple shoot formation was induced from excised terminal buds of hundred years old elite tree of Tectona grandis(L.) on a defined medium supplemented with various concentrations of 6-benzyl amino purine and kinetin either singly or in various combinations. The highest shoot regeneration frequency (100 %) was obtained from nodal segments on MS medium fortified with 2 mg/l IBA and 1.5mg/l IAA. The regenerated shoots best on MS 2mg/l IBA. Regenerated plantlets with well developed shoot and roots were hardened, successfully transferred to soil and maintained in green house. Further the work continued confer about qualitative phytochemical tests conduct to the presence of some of the secondary metabolites of teak leaves. Result revealed the presence of phenols, flavonoids, tannins, Proteins, and Aminoacids.
