ABSTRACT

Conventional method of propagation of pomegranate is time consuming and tiresome. It does not ensure disease free and healthy plants. It has several limitations like low success, very slow propagation, new plants require one year for establishment. In vitro technique is the only prospect of plant tissue culture that has the potential to circumvent these problems. Hence, there lies an ample scope for large scale multiplication of desired genotypes using micropropagation. In vitro propagation has been attempted in different pomegranate growing countries to propagate similar type and virus free plants.
Keywords: Micropropagation, Pomegranate, In vitro, Meristem culture, Virus free plants.
