Comparative Study Of Saussurea Costus Using Kinetin Hormone
Main Article Content
Abstract
Saussurea costus is a high value of medicinal plant facing the pressure of commercial exploitation in Himalayan region. Therefore, is a need for the development of reliable seed germination protocol of the species. In the present investigation, the seeds were potent and the phytohormone (kinetin) showed better response for the propagation of the species. The findings study showed that the best suitable temperature for in vitro seed germination of Saussurea costus is 35°C. The given temperature has the highest mean value of germination percentage ie., 21.66 ± 2.72. In case of in vitro germination via MS medium, the seeds without any Kinetin treatment showed best results as compared to those seeds which were provided kinetin treatment at different time intervals. The seeds from control has the highest mean value of germination percentage i.e., 79 ± 0.47. The findings of the present study may be helpful to the germination of this valuable plant of Himalayan region
