Chlorophytum is a species of about 200-220 genus of evergreen plants which is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia. There are about 17 species of Chlorophytum recorded in India out of which 11 species are found to be growing in Maharashtra. In the present study it was found that Chlorophytum tuberosum regenerate from the auxillary bud as a explants inoculated on MS medium supplemented with BAP (0.5mg/L) for shoot induction, BAP+NAA (0.25mg/L+0.50mg/L) for callusing and IAA (0.25mg/L) root induction respectively. Result is efficient for mass propagation of Chlorophytum tuberosum to justify progressively increasing demand of Chlorophytum tuberosum.
