In the recent years, tissue culture has emerged as a promising technique to obtain genetically pure elite populations under in vitro conditions. In vitro propagation also called micropropagation is in fact the miniature version of conventional propagation, which is carried out under aseptic conditions. The advent of in vitro tissue culture technique has offered a new approach to the morphogenetic investigations. In the present study an attempt has been made to formulate a suitable Protocol for efficient micropropagation from seedling of axillary shoot buds explants of Sapindus emarginatus Vahl.
