Micropropagation of medicinal plant in Bangladesh: A short review

Abstract

Micropropagation of medicinal plants is widely applied in the ayurvedic and pharmaceutical industries to produce active compounds. Besides that, in-vitro regeneration is important in the production of high-quality plant-based medicine. This also helps to conserve the genetic material of several vulnerable medicinal plants. Micropropagation protocols have been developed for a wide variety of medicinal plants, including endangered and vulnerable plant species. These well-developed methods are now available to assist growers in meeting the demands of the pharmaceutical industry in the next century. This study reviews in vitro micropropagation methods of medicinal plants and gives a comprehensive knowledge of these plants.
