Like many other medicinal plants, Taxus baccata also has come to the phase of extinction in its natural habitats due to increased market demand and consequent excessive destructive harvesting. Vegetative propagation through stem cuttings was tried for germplasm multiplication of T. baccata collected from Tangmarg range of Pripanjal division (Kashmir). Cuttings were treated with different auxins (IAA, IBA and NAA). IBA was found to be the most suitable hormone, followed by NAA and IAA respectively for the induction of higher callusing percentage, rooting percentage, number of roots and root length. The study revealed that IBA at 500 ppm is best for rooting of the stem cutting of Taxus baccata.Downloads
