Abstract
To establish an efficient propagation protocol, plants were regenerated from mature leaf and petiole explants through direct organogenesis without intervening callus phase. The results show that leaf was the best explant for shoot regeneration when cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.2 mgl-1 α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 0.3 mgl-1 zeatin and 0.3 mgl-1 6-benzylaminopurine(BAP). Rooting was enhanced on rooting medium containing activated charcoal (AC) supplemented with 0.25 mgl-1 indol-3-butyric acid (IBA). This protocol provides a basis for future studies on genetic improvement of Silybum Marianum and it can be basis for future studies on genetic improvement. Key words: Direct regeneration, activated charcoal, leaf, petiole, Silybum marianum.
