Adventitious roots, generated using leaf explants of P. nodiflora, and meristem
explants of L. reticulata, were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium
supplemented with napthylacetic acid (2 microM) and indole butyric acid (3
microM) respectively. After 30 days, subculturing of roots in liquid MS medium
with napthylacetic acid (1.5 microM) for P. nodiflora and indole butyric acid (3 
microM) for L. reticulata afforded considerable increase in root mass. HPTLC
profiles and microscopic examination of transverse sections of in vitro and
naturally grown roots provided information on secondary metabolite accumulation
vis/​à/​vis developmental stages of the root.
