Aegle marmelos is a deciduous tree of the family Rutaceae, distributed in South-East Asia and tropical Africa. In India, this aromatic species is considered sacred as the leaves are being used in many religious rituals. Their edible fruit, root, bark and seed are of value in indigenous system of medicine (Anonymous 1948). Due to unsustainable harvesting, this species has become an endangered medicinal plant (Vibha Rao & Rajasekharan 2002). Propagation is mainly through seeds, although root cuttings and layering are also feasible (Singh & Roy 1984). Clonal multiplication from axillary meristem culture was reported by Ajith Kumar and Seeni (1998). Arumugam and Rao (2002) reported somatic embryogenesis, synseed encapsulation and germination techniques in A. marmelos. (Copied from article).
