An efficient in vitro plant regeneration protocol for Swertia chirata Buch.-Ham. ex Wall (Gentianaceae), a critically endangered Himalayan medicinal herb, was developed using shoot tip explants derived from in vitro grown seedlings. Media with 2% sucrose and various types of hormones markedly influenced in vitro propagation of S. chirata. An in vitro shootlet production system using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with various hormones such as BAP, KN and TDZ was established. BAP at 1.0 mg/l and KN, 0.1 mg/l induced highest number of multiple shoots (42.16 ± 1.05) per explant. Micro-proliferated shoots were transferred to elongation medium amended with GA₃ (0.1 mg/l) and hormone free basal medium, after which they were transferred to rooting medium. The highest frequency of rooting (22.48 ± 1.08) was obtained in half-strength MS medium supplemented with NAA, 0.1 mg/l after testing with different auxins at various concentrations within 4 weeks of transfer to the rooting medium. Hardening was successfully attained under controlled conditions inside the plant tissue culture room. This method could effectively be applied for the conservation and clonal propagation to meet the pharmaceutical demands.
