In the current study, a successful procedure for Rauvolfia serpentina rapid propagation has been standardised. On MS media that had been treated with various auxins and cytokinins in varying concentrations as well as in various amalgamations, leaf discs and nodal segments were inoculated. to identify the most responsive explants, determine the optimal concentrations of plant growth regulators, and determine other culture conditions that reveal in vitro morphogenesis tracked by plantlet regeneration at higher frequencies through the culture of nodal segments and leaf discs of locally appropriate cultivars. For nodal segment culture, 2.0 mgl-1 of 2, 4-D/NAA alone or in combination with 0.5 mgl-1 TDZ was found to be significantly better for callus initiation than basal MS medium. On inoculation media renewed with TDZ in the range of 0.2-0.5 mgl-1 as solely as well as in association with 0.5 mgl-1NAA, higher shoot proliferating competence, numbers of shoots per explant, and maximum length were observed, though (more than 92% nodal segments initiated shoots, >10.5 shoots/explant, and mean shoot length>3.85 cm). On culture media supplemented with 2.0 mgl-1 auxins: 2,4-D and/or NAA in combination with 0.5 mgl-1 of a cytokinin BA and/or TDZ, however, maximum callus and morphogenic callus formation as well as plantlet regeneration were studied for inoculated leaf discs (more than 76% of leaf discs initiated morphogenic calli with >80% regeneration frequencies). A greater in vitro rooting response was seen in rooting media MS treated with 0.1 mgl-1IBA (root proliferating efficiency, number of roots with higher length).
