In vitro regeneration of plantlets from stem nodal explants has been reported as an efficient and rapid strategy for large scale propagation of certain important plants like Mucuna pruriens (Faisal et al. 2006; Sathyanarayana et al. 2008), Jatropha Curcas L. (Shrivastava and Banergee, 2008), Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni (Ahmed et al. 2007), Azadirachta indica A. juss (Chaturvedi et al. 2004) and an aromatic medicinal herb, Ocimum Basilicum L. (Sahoo et al. 1997).
