Abstract

In order to micropropagate and for acclimatization of Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium), seeds were cultured on MS/4 medium with the whole vitamins, and shoot explants of seedlings, with shoot tip and without shoot tip, were cultured on MS medium supplemented with NAA (0.54µM) and BAP (4.44µM). 100% of explants with shoot tip and only 44% of explants without shoot tip produced plantlet. The number of plantlets produced, was more in shoot tip explants.
For acclimatization, plantlets were rinsed with water for one hour. Roots were cut, and transferred to plastic pots containing Pit: Vermiculite (1:1). Plantlets were capable of acclimatization in ex vitro conditions and 62.5% of them remained alive.
