- Abstract
Flowering in bamboos is a catastrophic event that leads to a number of post-flowering consequences and is hazardous for plants, which are monocarpic in nature. Direct shoot regeneration from immature inflorescence explants will help in overcoming the potential loss caused by unpredictable flowering in bamboos. Plant regeneration from cultured immature inflorescences of Dendrocalamus asper was obtained by direct shoot regeneration on Murashige & Skoog's 1962 (MS) medium supplemented with 7mg/1BAR Best-regenerated shoots were obtained when 0.5-1.0 cm sized immature inflorescences were used. Regenerated shoots were grown on MS medium supplemented with 3mg/1BAP for further multiplication and development. Twelve to fifteen fold shoot multiplication rate was observed on MS medium. In vitro rooting was observed in 90-95% shoots on MS medium supplemented with 10mg/1IBA. After hardening and acclimatization plantlets were transferred to field and showed a 80-90% survival rate
