CINNAMON OR TRUE CINNAMON - Intercom Exports

isolated shoot developed good roots when transferred to growth regulator free medium
with activated charcoal[2 mg/l].
A method for the regeneration of plants through somatic embryogenesis from
seedling explants in C. verum[ Mini et al], as well as induction of morphogenic calli and
rhizogenesis, was standardized at the author’s laboratory. Profuse callus could be induce
from leaf and hypocotyls explants on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D[2 mg/l] and
somatic embryogenesis was successful in WPM supplemented with BAP and Kinetin.
Somatic embryogenesis from hypocotyls callus in C. camphora has been reported in MS
medium supplemented with BAP and NAA. Shoots developed from these were
successfully rooted in vitro, in medium with NAA and IBA. Cytological studies on callus
tissue revealed changes in chromosome number and nuclear abnormalities possibly
leading to somoclonal variations.

FUTURE RESEARCH THRUSTS
No doubt, the research efforts made by the ICAR institutes, SAU’s and other
organizations have made substantial contributions in developing varieties/ hybrids,
production technologies including pest and disease management and to a limited extent
on post-harvest technologies. How ever , there are still areas which need positive and
