  Grewia asiatica is a dietotheraphtically important fruit bearing shrub, indigenous to India. It is a rich resource of triterpinoids and flavonoids and possesses many putative health benefits. Two of the drawbacks which include short shelf life of its fruits and larger seed volume impedes its full exploitation. Seed abortion for developing seedless cultivars through biotechnological interventions is a viable option. One of the prerequisites for such strategy is to develop an efficient plant regeneration and transformation protocols in G. asiatica. Against this backdrop multiple shoot induction was achieved from nodal explants with axillary buds, on culturing in Woody Plant medium (WM) fortified with 3% (w/v) sucrose, 2 × 10-5M Kinetin (Kn) and 1 × 10-5M indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) giving rise to an average of 4.25 ± 0.71 microshoots per explant. More than 90% of the .. View More»
