Abstract
Author(s): Shraddha Vikrant Gupta
The present study deals with the explants of Tectona grandis & Albizia lebbeck. Explant of these species which is used in plant tissue culture may be an apical bud, root or shoot tip, ovule, anther, and an embryo. Establishment of explants under in-vitro conditions and hardening of plantlet to green house condition has to be done. A thorough study of this teak explant and the in-vitro culture response in co-relation with phenol was observed. The result of present study shows that the explant of the species contains a lots of phenolic compound and these compound arrest the growth of explants under in-vitro condition.
