23 Jul Tissue culture process for producing a large number of viable mint plants in vitro from internodal segments
Abstract
The present invention relates to a tissue culture process for producing a large number of viable mint plants in vitro. The process of the present invention employs specified pieces of an internodal segment of the stem of the mint plant as the starting material and identifies medium and culture conditions for producing a large number of plants. Such plants can be used for micropropagation, selection of mutants, production of plants with altered levels of endogenous secondary metabolites and for genetic engineering.
