IN VITRO MICROPROPAGATION OF EUODIA FOR SUSTAINABLE PLANTLET PRODUCTION

Abstract

This study explores the in vitro micropropagation techniques applied to Euodia species to achieve sustainable and large-scale plantlet production. Given the growing demand for medicinal and ornamental plants, Euodia—a genus known for its pharmacological and ecological significance—has emerged as a key candidate for biotechnological cultivation. The research focuses on optimizing culture conditions, including explant selection, growth media, hormone combinations, and environmental parameters, to ensure high regeneration rates and genetic stability. Results highlight the efficiency of micropropagation in overcoming challenges associated with conventional propagation methods, such as low germination rates and vulnerability to pests. This approach offers a reliable strategy for conservation, commercial cultivation, and the long-term sustainability of Euodia resources.
