Abstract
Sandalwood (Santalum album L.), belonging to the family Santalaceae and genus
Santalum is a small evergreen, hemi-parasitic tree and has more than 18 source of
fragrance wood species mostly distributed in south Asia, Australia and Hawaii. Tissue
culture methods of clonal propagation are thought to be the acceptable alternative and
micropropagation of plants for mass scale production and conservation of sandalwood
plants. Considering the importance of in vitro organogenesis of forest trees, there is a
need to develop a suitable in vitro organogenesis protocol for mass multiplication and
keeping this in view the present study was carried to study the response of various
sandalwood tree explants and different plant growth regulators in combinations for callus
induction and the effect of different plant growth regulators on in vitro organogenesis of
sandalwood.
Leaf and nodal portions of the elite sandalwood trees were procured
