| dc.description.abstract | In Jharkhand, it is grown to some extent in Chotanagpur, Ranchi and Santhal Pargana regions. Its essential oil is called peppermint oil and contains menthol, menthofuron, methone, iso-methone iso-menthol, neomenthol, neo-isomenthol etc. Another important substance is rosmarinic acid. It is an ester of caffeic acid and 3, 4 dihydroxy phenylacetic acid possessing antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. A lot of complex medicines and phyto-preparations are made of mint and menthol. Peppermint oil also has other applications for e.g. as a flavouring agent in confectionary items, alcoholic drinks, dental creams, mouth washes, soaps, chewing gums, candies etc. Its essential oils also have antibacterial and antifungal properties. The present study was undertaken to standardize protocol for in vitro regeneration of this crop. Surface sterilized shoot tips and nodes were inoculated on Murashige and Skoog’s (M.S) medium either supplemented with hormones i.e. 6-Benzylamino purine (B.A.P) and 6, Furfurylamino purine (Kn) (single or incombination) or without hormones. Maximum bud breaking was obtained in B.A.P 1.0 mg/l. In B.A.P 1.0 mg/l and 2.5 mg/l maximum shoot multiplication was observed in case of nodes and shoot tips. Maximum root induction were found in B.A.P 1.0 mg/l. Rooted plants were transferred for hardening. The survival percentage was 90 per cent during hardening. | en_US |
